This place is a gem. Perfect destination for families as the suite had lots of space to relax unlike a normal hotel room. The pool was beautiful and the room had a lovely patio that we sat on in the mornings. Kitchen allowed for some breakfast items to be kept for lazy morning starts. The property is easily walkable into town in 5 minutes, which we preferred to being right in town as it would be much noisier - Esthisis was very peaceful and quiet.

Lovely, friendly and relaxing, second time here. Great location with easy access to the more busy parts of the town. Lots of great friendly restaurants, lovely beaches. Good cheap transport on the local buses. Great country walks through the orange and olive groves.

Great property with daily housemaid service so always clean and very warm and personal help from the owners whenever we needed it. Wonderful location too. Close to nice restaurants, bars, shops and the beach of course. All well within easy walking distance but the pool at the Suites when you just want to relax. Cant fault it really :)

Fantastic apartment, large modern with all amenities, staff friendly and helpful. All rooms cleaned daily, with fresh towels. Air con in one room packed up, and it was fixed within hours. Fantastic views over platanias and could watch the sunset from the large balconies. Would recommend for families. The only downside is that it is located high up in a hilly area with some steep hills to climb. Would I return to the Esthisis? An emphatic YES!

Loved this property. The apartment was spacious enough for two people, with a fully equipped kitchen, nice seating area inside and outside with a quiet shared pool. Efi was amazing. So welcoming with refreshments, more than what you would expect as gifts in the apartment (to which I’m not going to say - I will not spoil the surprises). When checking out we felt love and like we had become part of the family. Received a parting gift and lovely well wishes from Efi

I spend over 100 nights a year in hotels and this is by far the cleanest and most well kept property I have ever stayed in. From the rooms down to the organization of the drawers in the kitchen they had it all covered. The staff was absolutely amazing, free parking and terrific location. If in Plantanias I would be sure to return. Sorry, and the rooms were great - we had three wonderful balances with great views of the sea. Wonderful upscale outside seating as well. You could feel the pride of ownership from the staff.

Wonderful holiday
The suites are spotlessly clean and are fully cleaned and towels changed every single day. The pool and surrounding areas are also cleaned daily. Nothing is too much trouble for Efi and all the members of her team. Cretan hospitality at its best. Our maisonette was spacious, with tasteful modern décor and good air conditioning. On our arrival, there were bottles of wine, olive oil and water, fresh fruit, tomatoes and cucumber, all of which were most welcome, as were the sweet treats which were left for us later in our holiday. The pool is larger than it looks on the photos and there were many times when we had it to ourselves. There are comfortable loungers and towels are provided. Platanias village is quiet and quite unspoilt and full of great tavernas, offering excellent food and wine, great views and sunsets and exceptional hospitality. We highly recommend Agioklima and Almiras. The food at Cosmos is also good, and offers outstanding views but it is quite pretentious. For a more up-market experience, at reasonable prices, try Zafferano about half a kilometre away on the main road – stunningly presented flavoursome food, in a great chilled atmosphere. Platanias town is full of all types of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. On the lovely beach, local tavernas hire out loungers for 3 Euro a day. A coastal bus service runs along the main road- about 15 minutes to reach Chania. All in all, this was a great accommodation, which was well worth the trek up the hill.

Family relaxing break
Located up in the old town with beautiful views of the Platanias. Apartments were nice and spacious just what was needed for a relaxing week away. The only negative was we were slightly out of season so a few places were closed but it was only around €2 into Chania with plenty of choice in places to go.

Esthisis Suites, Platanias, I'd go back tomorrow.
My wife and I had a week in the Esthisis Suites and Apartments in Platanias, Chania, Crete. This was a wonderful find with a staff who we found attentive but not overbearing, willing to help when required and just generally friendly. On arrival we were met at reception with a lovely lady who offered us a glass of fruit juice while explaining the area and booking us in, we were then shown to our apartment. The apartment was a large one bedroom, the bed was, I'm pretty sure, a super kingsize. The apartment was cleaned daily with lovely fresh towels left, sunbathing towels could be gathered at reception as required, no additional charge for these, or for the built in safe. The complex itself sits just up the hill from the main strip(150-200m), close enough to walk in a couple of minutes, far enough that you heard nothing, not that it was rowdy anyway. There are a plethora of eateries from grill houses, to traditional, Asian or the faster kebab/pizza/burger joint. There is also a very relaxed atmosphere everywhere with varying styles of bar to sit, relax and enjoy a drink or two. This was also a great hub for exploring the West side of Crete. Chania region was just stunning, with superb beaches and as much history or scenery that one would want to digest. Finally, as well as fruit and a bottle of wine in the apartment on arrival, a lovely gesture in itself, we were given a bottle of olive oil when checking out, little things, big impressions. Thank you to all Esthisis staff.

The family that runs this modern, comfortable suite hotel is incredibly gracious and welcoming. They are patient, attentive to your specific needs, and strive to become friends beyond being a business. The suites are comfortable, the pool well-kept, and most rooms have a marvelous view.

Great pool, accommodation and care from owners
We were really well cared for at Esthisis. The accommodation is so nice and the pool is beautiful. The owners take great care of you, beyond and above the usual I'm sure. So welcoming and kind. There are only 12 apartments so not crowded, and it is quiet. The apartments are near plenty of very good places to eat and it's a short and pleasant walk to the beach. We would stay again and met people who had returned and still loved it.

2 Bedroom suite with Sea View in busy area
This property was simple and mediocre with very kind staff. It had all the essentials, it was clean, the pool was fine but it does not compare to the 4-star rated priories that I’m accustomed to. The comfort of the beds were ok, the bathroom had a strong smell of sewage. We were given pool towels to use for the entire stay, I prefer fresh towels after each days use. This property is in a busy area on a hill with narrow roads. We moved to Esthisis bc Euphoria Resort was sold out for the rest of our stay in Crete. We stayed at Euphoria Resort in Kolympari which is an amazing all inclusive beachfront resort with waterslides, kids club, beautiful pools, wonderful rooms & service. Maybe a bit disappointed with Esthisis Suites after checking out of Euphoria Resort.

Our experience at Esthisis Suites was excellent. We had a 2-bedroom unit (for 2 adults + 2 children) which was spacious, comfortable and had a wonderful view of the Aegean Sea from the balcony. The manager and his family were very welcoming and helpful and there were nice touches in the unit (some fruits/a bottle of wine etc) that made us feel home immediately. Though it was a bit cold for the pool, the pool and the area around it were immaculately maintained. Housekeeping cam every day. The property is a 5 minute walk to the main street where there are many restaurants, the usual tourist shops and grocery stores. It made our trip after our rather hectic stay in Istanbul very relaxing and pleasant. The only downside was that the internet connection was a little slow on the upper floor. If we visit Crete again, we would definitely stay here again.

A perfect spot for a family break
We visited Platanais out of season so much of the area was shut down but this didn't affect our enjoyment of our break - the sun still shone! The suites suited us as a family very well, allowing us to eat in or eat out. The suite was airy, spacious, very clean and comfortable. Being only a short walk from the supermarket, tavernas and beach was convenient but its location, slightly uphill from the hubbub of the main street, ensured the suites balconies had lovely views over green countryside and out to sea. Lack of activity in the resort (early April) was compensated by it being only a short drive to beautiful Chania which offered a variety of activities.

The best choice of place to stay in Platanias
I am SO glad I chose the Esthisis Suites for my holiday to Chania. The family here were ever so lovely to me and helpful with all my requests. The apartments had everything I needed and it was so lovely to arrive to a bottle of wine, water, olive oil & a starter kit of fruit & vegetables. I found the apartment modern in design, spacious and practical and I loved having my own outdoor space and furniture. The apartment was cleaned every day and the bed made and towels changed. The pool was lovely and refreshing and there were plenty of nice comfortable pool loungers. I have absolutely no complaints about Esthisis and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Perfect place !
Our stay at the 'Esthisis' was just perfect. When you are greeted by the owners after a long journey from Australia and told to make this place your home for the next three weeks and we don't have any rules here other than enjoy yourself ! Well we did. Effy and Nikolas were the perfect hosts, spotlessly daily cleaned rooms, super clean pool, (plenty of sun beds) lovely manicured plants being tended to in the early morning when all the guests are soundly sleeping behind double glazed sliding windows and wooden shutters that can keep you fast asleep while life goes on outside without a sound. Fantastic views of the ocean from our apartment which is only a ten minute walk downhill, and only a five minute walk to the village main road which is as lively as hell. You truly are right in the heart of 'Platanias' here but a short walk up the hill after a night out and you would never know it, peace and serenity awaits back at the 'Esthisis' in your air conditioned room. Perfect, thank you Effy, see you next year.

Family friendly hotel with an incredible view
We have just come back from Crete our second time here and we love it. We took two of our daughters aged 16 and 5 and they both loved it. The hotel was amazing, family run and they took care of us. Our apartment for the week was big, airy, clean and the little fruit and vegetables basket all home grown was a nice touch. A bottle of wine and milk cooling in the fridge on arrival was just what you needed after travelling all day. When we went down to the gorgeous, clean pool Effy fetched us all clean towels to lie on, on top of our cushioned sun beds. The apartment was cleaned every day and reception was always open with someone to help if needed. Fantastic scenery! the white mountains are something else. We went up into the mountains horse riding, we visited the oldest olive tree in the Mediterranean and the views were totally amazing. Can't wait to go back!
