Porto Kalamaki Hotel

I didn´t feel welcome there. The staff was relatively helpful, but seemed to be in a general bad mood. Running after me and almost accusing me of trying to steal when I had to go and get money from an ATM to pay for a meal at the hotel bar. Asking about other places to visit on Kreta one of the workers sighed and told about how everything was ruined by tourism… The floor was flooded when I had a shower. It was so bad I had to change rooms. Everything in the room is *****ped to down to the bare minimum. The traffic outside the hotel, and everywhere around that aerea is so that you have to be on watch all the time not to get run over by cars or mopeds. The sidewalks are narrow and it feels dangerous to cross the street. It´s the last time I´m doing charter, ever. I felt like a horrible person every minute of that horrible holiday.

This hotel is great. Rooms clean and spacious. Great location for getting to Chania and Platanias.Although the resort is a little on the quiet side but as some lovely beaches. The hotel is run perfectly. A big shout out to Andreas, Maria and all their wonderful staff, who are amazing. Andreas and Maria never stop but they never fail to say a good morning how are you to anybody. The food in the hotel is very good from quality breakfasts to fantastic evening dinner. We will be back without a doubt.

What a little gem. I cannot find fault with this hotel at all. We arrived after midnight and the bar manager was waiting for us to show us to our room. The room was quite big. King size bed that was really comfortable and really comfy plump pillars. Small kitchen area and dinning but enough for 2 people. Furniture in really good condition. Shower had a full head shower. Balcony with pool and sea view. All staff very friendly and helpful, nothing to much trouble. Small shop on sight. Everywhere was clean, rooms and communal areas. We were on a bed and breakfast basis. Plenty of choice for breakfast including options for vegetarians. It was from a menu but you was able to swap about if you wanted too. Entertainment twice a week. We only saw the singers on the Sunday but they were really good. Staff stayed up till late to accommodate people wanting to stay up late. Only negative we could find which wasn’t the hotel was that Kalamaki is very small and not a lot to do. So I would say it’s not somewhere to go if you want to party every night. Chania was only half an hour away by bus, 2.50€ each way if you pay on the bus. 1.50€ each way if you buy a ticket from the shop. Well worth a visit. Bus stop near hotel, every 15 minutes. Reception staff recommended a nice restaurant just out of town, half hour walk away or not much in a taxi. Beaches were lovely and very clean. Sea lovely and clear. All in all great relaxing holiday 😎

Just come back from a fabulous 10 days staying here (2adults, 2 young kids). Everyone working at the hotel was super helpful and friendly. The apartment was a good size and kept spotless by the cleaning staff. Location is brilliant with a bus stop right outside straight into Chania. Five minutes walk either way are gorgeous sandy beaches. We normally like to eat in different places every night when we're on holiday, but the food here was so good (and reasonably priced) we ended up eating dinner 4 nights, as well as having a few lunches and a couple of breakfasts! Only very slightly improvement for me (and it really is slight....) would be to have a little cupboard in the lounge where the kids were sleeping on sofa beds- just so they have a proper space of their own. There's also a little supermarket on site where you can pick up all the basics, and again, quite reasonably priced . Definitely recommend!

What a great little jewel we found with this hotel. The rooms are spacious and cleaned daily. The food at this place is plentiful and very good standard. The pool is nice and clean with a bar on the side. You don't even have to move. The married couple that are there running the operation from 8 to at least 2am everyday are fantastic. Andrea's and Maria and nothing is a problem.....so nice. Prices for food and drinks are comparable to everywhere else in the area. A great holiday was had by us both and I would recommend Porto Kalamki to anyone.

All round perfect hotel and staff location is brilliant quiet but only a short trip lots of bars and restaurants also lots of beaches are near by and Chania old town ( which is beautiful) is only a short bus ride away where you can sample some amazing authentic Greek restaurants
