Disliked: Amenities
Room was old and dated! Furniture looked worn, twin beds were positioned awkwardly where I had to move them myself, never had anyone come check the pool water to make sure it met standards so I did not have my children swim in standing water where no one came to check the levels. Main bedroom bed was two twin beds pushed together and they were hard and uncomfortable. Tv had bad reception. Breakfast was MEH! Overall not worth the money or the title of VIP. Would not stay again.

Caldera Bay is very nice and very well placed for surrounding attractions, you can get into Chania and Agia Marina easily as well as boat trips to nearby beaches. Plantinias itself is really lively and has lots of options for earing and drinking. It's really nice to be located on the beach too, we found the pools to be too small for the amount of guests and so went to the beach every day. The breakfast was excellent and the restaurant offers good well priced food all day. Our only reason for marking down Caldera Bay on cleanliness is because we had ants in the room, coming in under the front door. We complained twice but nothing was done about it. Other than that everything ejse was very good.

en fantastisk upplevelse och grym service och all personal kan kommunicera på engelska så det är lätt att göra sig förstådd, fint hotell där man har nära till stranden med solsängar men man måste gå upp vid 07:00 och åka frukost och vara färdig för stranden till 08:00 om man ska ha chans att få tag i en solsäng.

Bra hotel med god beliggenhet rett på stranden. Vi ble oppgradert til en leilighet med sjøutsikt. Møblene er litt gammeldags og badene kunne trengt en oppgradering, men alt var rent og pent. Frokosten var god, men appelsinjuicen var kun farget vann. Det var overalt skilt om at reservering av solsenger ikke var tillatt før kl. 10:00. Det var det ingen på stranden som tok hensyn til. Skulle ønsket at hotellet gjorde alvor av at de fjernet håndklær og eiendeler fra reserverte solsenger. Kan anbefale dette hotellet.
