Highly recommended

We stayed at Alegria Beach Resort for a week in October, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The rooms are spacious, modern, and well equipped, with adequate terraces or balconies. Wi-fi and TV are fine. We did not experience the need for more maintenance that has been claimed by other reviewers, and we saw no ants in our rooms. In our experience, walls are sufficiently thick and doors close tightly. The beach is near, clean, and the sunbeds, umbrellas and beach bar are great. Pools are nice, and we enjoyed the pool bar on many occasions. Kids are well taken care of, with adequate kids’ pool and playground. The buffet restaurant has plenty of variety each day, and even more throughout the week, both for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff is attentive, friendly and service minded. We were a big group and asked to have a lounge reserved for a special occasion. This was very well taken care of. The resort does not offer a lot of entertainment at night, which is perfect if you want to enjoy the company of your familiy or friends. For guests who don’t want all inclusive, there are many good restaurants around, but you will have to walk 1 km (or more) or take a taxi to find most of them. Plakias is nicely situated between mountains, with great sunsets. It may be windy, but we were not too troubled. Even if we highly recommend the resort, we also have three suggestions for improvement: 1. Acoustics in the dining room are bad. In particular, the orange juice self service machine is very noisy, and should be moved or abolished. 2. In some rooms, if you enter from the corridor at night, there is not adequate light to find the slot for your card, which will switch on more light. 3. There is an indoor gym and an outdoor padel (or paddle?) tennis court, but for some guests, an additional table tennis (ping pong) table or two would be welcome.

Very nice beach hotel

This is a nice beach hotel. Almost on the beach. Rooms clean and nice. And they stayed clean all week. 2 pools, one with a nice bar. Breakfast was excellent, large selection. Freshly made omelette by a always smiling chef. Staff always smiling and always around to help. Small or big issues.

Two weeks stay: 3 adults and 1 child (3 yo)

We had a very nice stay, 1 kid 3 yo, and 3 adults. It’s a modern and nice hotel with great staff. The food is good and the drinks too. The location is a bit desolate, so after 2 weeks we felt a bit “trapped”. The next time we’ll choose something a bit more central, or at least with more options when it comes to excursions. Guess I should have researched that a bit more. The first impress was really good. When we arrived we got a cold cloth to put on our necks (for the heat) and some freshly made juice. We also got a complimentary bottle of Greek wine, which was nice. On the minus side: The gym was disappointing. I’m a runner, and only 1 of 3 treadmills were operative. If they worked they where too beaten down (probably from the late 90s) to function properly. The whole gym felt rushed and unfinished. We also had a leak in the shower. The bathroom construction seems rushed too, like much else in the hotel. My guess is that this hotel will have lots of damage in a few years due to all the “quick fixes”. But I’m no professional. Tips: If you have children, choose a room with direct access to pool. We regret not having this, as it would have made our stay even more comfortable. Overall, a nice hotel with nice staff and good food.

Segregated beach!

After 11 days at the Hotel and Plakias beach we are informed that we are not allowed to lie on the part of the beach we have been lying on until now. This area is exclusive to the guests who have Premium/VIP/paid extra/stay at the sister hotel Alegria hills. They have a staff that acts as a guard who directs all guests staying at Alegria beach resort to the worse more uncomfortable sunbeds on the part of the beach that is a little more difficult to access for children and people with physical disabilities. In addition, 75% of the comfortable sunbeds are therefore empty while we the most guests crowd onto the less comfortable sunbeds. I think that the inequality when you segregate people wich now also spreads to the beach in Plakias on Crete is a very sad development. Beside this social aspects it is not smart to do a investment that you only use to 25%. What is next step some kind of fence around the premium guests Bech? Without this beachproblem I have given you 5.

Not to recommend

I would rate this as a mediocre experience, and will not come back. Things that I expected better: - food - service - entertainment - playground -kids pool Choose something else, or get disappointed
