Esplanade Apartments

Jääkaapista löytyi yllätykseksemme ruokaa varattuna meille, joten saimme pitkän matkustamisen jälkeen hetimmiten jotain syödyksi =) Ystävällinen ja auttavainen henkilökunta. Todella siistit huoneet, ja näkymä merelle kruunasi kaiken. Valmius laittaa omaa ruokaa huoneessa, mutta ruoka oli edullista ja annokset todella isoja, joista olisi syönyt isompikin porukka, niinpä tilasimme mieluummin valmista. Huoneesta löytyi runsaasti infoa ja omistaja neuvoi ja antoi hyviä vinkkejä mielellään. Ranta oli kävelymatkan päässä,. Kalathas oli pieni kylä, jonka rauhallisuus sopi meidän loma vaatimukseen. Haniaan ja lentokentälle lyhyt matka. Äitini on lievästi liikuntarajoitteinen, aluksi portaat ja maasto pikkuisen arvelutti, mutta selvisimme hienosti myös rollaatorin kanssa.

It was very nice at Yannis's place. We had everything we needed: from shower gel and conditioner to terrace area where we could have our coffee. We had also free wi-fi and TV to watch international channels. Yannis offered us coffee, cookies and raki during our stay and even something to eat for the first day, which was very nice. The rooms were spacious and clean. The maid would clean our room everyday except Sundays, which was very nice. We had the bed sheets changed often. The hotel's pool has a spectacular view and is very nice to swim and relax there. The Kalathas beach is 10 minute away, so we went by foot there. And, more than all, Yannis is amazing! He helped us with everything we asked for, he gave us also beach umbrellas and helped us with all sorts of indications to move around, including ordering food in the room (which was very good). We prefered to eat in Chania, as in Kalathas was more expensive and not so varied, so we took the public bus. It happens some time to arrive even half an hour or more later than it is expected, but it is a good option if you do not have a car. The bus station is 5 minutes away from the hotel. So, to sum up, it is absolutely great and we strongly recommend Yannis's place for a relaxing and pleasant stay.

The shower's sewer drainage was a little bit lazy.

Yainnis is the consummate host. Friendly, and so very helpful. It was lovely to turn up at 10.30 at night to find food and wine in the fridge! The room was top quality and also fresh towels every day and sheets just about every other! The cats belonging to the complex are lovely and very well cared for by the owner. The area is superb for traveling by car in the area and a simple and cheap bus ride from Chania ( best to go by bus, parking is 'challenging', the bus stop is just around the corner.)

Absolutely nothing!

We would highly recommend esplanade apartments located in a beautiful location in Crete. The hotel was near safe sandy beaches and local family run tavernas that served excellent high quality but good value meals. Yiannis was a brilliant host, he has a wealth of knowledge of places to visit in the area and his warm welcome made our holiday. There is something for everyone in this location - walks, swimming, relaxing on the beach or by the pool, historical sites and close to the city of Chania but with the peace and quiet of a beach location. A great holiday made even better by Yiannis who is such a considerate host. We have stayed in many places round the world but he goes above and beyond to make your holiday one to remember. Thank you.

We had a great time at Esplanade apartments! The rooms were very clean and cosy, with beautiful sea view. The local beach is near. Yiannis is a great host, kind and very friendly! He made our holiday more interesting. We came late and snacks were waiting for us in the fridge. If we ever come back to Crete, we would stay there again!
