Being at Crete for the ninth time I must say that I loved the hotel and everything in it. Although there was construction from the next hotel, on the moment I complained , we were given a better room in a quieter side. We really appreciated it and we are sure that as soon the construction will be completed it will be the best place on the south of Crete to reside. Close to the beach and all the great restaurants. Everywhere we went people were so friendly. We thank KYMANI for helping the experience be the best.

The staff were great. Looked after us very well, extremely helpful. We had a late arrival flight, outside normal reception hours. This wasn't an issue, and they stored the key in a safe place, which we found on our arrival. The double room with ocean view was lovely, clean, and everything you needed. Showers are always hot when you need them. Cleaning staff cleaned our room every day while we was at breakfast and provided fresh towels. Plakias itself is lovely and there are lots of restaurants and shops. We eat out most nights. Spoilt for choose.

Quiet place in November, but sea temperature was super nice.
Quiet place in November, but sea temperature was super nice. Supermarkets are open, as well as some restaurants. There was a lot of construction going on. Many tavernas close to attractions are closed, so take plenty of snacks.

Plakias is a good place to have a rest moving from Imbras Gorge to Kourtaliotiko gorge, city is small and quite. Beaches in city itself not seems are extraordinary, they have many rocks, but on the left end is there a nudist beach

Plakias is a smallish town and very laid back and relaxing.
Plakias is a smallish town and very laid back and relaxing. As we were half board we didn't try many of the bars/restaurants on offer. We were going to go on a boat trip but one of our daughters was ill so we had to abandon that idea. My other daughter and I did visit Kourtaliotiko Gorge and waterfall which was amazing and we made it to Souda beach on the last day which had lovely clear water. We had a car so we could travel around. I personally think that is an essential if you want to explore the area as it takes a while to drive anywhere as the roads are quite small and bendy!

Place has amazing location, but do not expect night life,...
Place has amazing location, but do not expect night life, for that you have to go to Plakias, Damnoni (across the rock, great views) or drive to Rethymnon. Service and meals are great, staff very kind, willing and helpful, always aiming to help, direct, support. Swimming in private pools or in purely clean sea with private beach (no sand, rocky beach, but you can jump from very high cliffs). Hotel also invites oriental dancers, who were just excellent and greek dancers. Someone says - rooms are shubby, but everything is made from solid wood, comfy, only bathrooms a bit small, but sufficient. Place suits to all types of travellers- you want to rest, doing nothing, you can. You want to travel around, you can even go to Santorini by jetboat. We recomment the place definitely.
wonderful family run hotel in Plakias. Very friendly, we were welcomed with a fresh juice and lucky out too
was available before official checkin. it was spotless clean room in a great location, 2 mins from the seafront. We had a sea view strong AC and good wifi. beds are comfortable, good water pressure for the shower. Breakfast is available along with bbq area, but we didn’t try. Family friendly, we really enjoyed our stay, thank you!
You have the opportunity to have access to an amazing hotel for a cheap price. The location cannot be better, the creek is simply amazing. The pool with the bar is very nice with incredible views. The room is big and nice, and the bed very comfortable. The buffet is surprisingly good.
There's lot of cool activities.
It looks like a 5 star resort that downgraded to 4 star. It makes it very good for the price.
A newly opened hotel, Kymani is an excellent choice both for families or young travellers. It is sufficiently apart from the central venue of Plakias, but you can still reach it through a comfortable walk. The facilities are brand new, have a cozy design, and the surrounding area is very quite. Most rooms have a nice view of the sea. Also, the rooms have both AC and a ventilator.
The location is great, if you have a car and you do not want to be in the middle of the town. It was perfect for us.
Well maintained, good view from every room on the second floor, very close to the beach and some excelent tavern.
Perfectly clean, good beds and service.
Comapring with the other hotels in town, it was a perfect resort for a beach town.
Do not hesitate, book it.
The apartment is very clean and modern. We had an amazing time. Kids loved the garden and a small playground. Plakias is an excellent base for exploring the Southern crete and all the beautiful beaches. There is also a very good restaurant only 100m away from the apartment. We had everything we needed and highly recommend the place to everyone :)
The hotel is very close to the beach and just far away enough from the busier "centre" of Plakias where you can find lots of restaurants and shops. There is a supermarket in the same building complex, so shopping for excursions etc. is really easy. We enjoyed the pool and the big terrace of the apartment. Breakfast was good and rich in variety.
I've stayed in this hotel several times before, in both the older and newer parts of the building, and I'd recommend both. The deluxe rooms are my favourite, and very luxurious. The owner is lovely, and very helpful with any questions we had during our stay. Location is perfect for exploring Plakias. 10/10 will definitely be back again.
Wonderful hotel with amazing stuff, big and nice breakfasts, cozy rooms and great atmosphere. Kind and attentive stuff, especially the man who makes excellent cappuccino every breakfast. He was very welcoming and helped us a lot to find a transfer to our next destination. We highly recommend the hotel if you visit Plakias!
This is a brand new facility, opened in 2018, with a total of 12 apartments. Our stay was excellent, and the daily complimentary breakfast was fantastic. The property is very close to the beach of Plakias (walking distance). The nearby beaches of Souda, Damnoni, Ammoudi, Ammoudaki and Preveli are a short driving distance.
only 10-15 min walk from the beach, close to the mega supermarket. The host was extremely accommodating, allowed late checkout and gave us oranges from his trees to make orange juice! The kitchen had everything we needed, cute balcony and such friendly cats. Such a lovely place and town.
We stayed for 10.days and loved it! Artistic, yet functional furniture, with a kitchenette, comfortable bed, bright, huge terrace and a swing. In the center of Plakias, with many restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Loved the sea view! Parking available. One of the best so far.
The apartment was very spacious and clean with wonderful views over the sea and a nice beach within 3 minutes walking. Mrs Angeliki and her daughter are very sweet and hospitable people- it was really great meeting them! We will definitely come back next year!
Recently updated hotel with great bed, balcony and bathroom. Large room for a European hotel and an excellent breakfast buffet with all kinds of Greek treats. Close to Plakias beaches and nightlife but removed enough to be quiet and relaxing. Loved my stay!
Fantastic location overlooking the sea with great sun terrace and unforgettable sunsets. By far, my most comfortable and luxurious room in Crete. Beach in front, tavernas, cafes, etc all closeby. Breakfast area and terrace and extremely friendly hosts.
I like that it is beachfront and a walking distance to restaurants, shops, etc. it’s on of the best in Plakias area.
The room is spacious, clean, with balcony of sea view. Delicious breakfast, friendly and warm staff and crew!! Highly recommended.
I really liked the place, it's near the city center and the beach, but at the same time it is peaceful and quiet. :) Everything was clean, the room was big and spacious, the hosts were very friendly and kind.
Everything, if I visit Crete again i will definitely choose this hotel again.
You won't find hotel with better views and location in whole area.
Two amazing beaches are literally 2 min away by walking.
Beautiful hotel facing the sea...room well equpped with a nice balcony. We wake up listening the sea. Kind and helpfull staff. Useful parking, near Plakias but quite and relaxing position.
