En flott gresk opplevelse

Utrolig koselig leilighetshotell med trivelig personale. Ligger perfekt til ved stranden. Sonio har egen strandrestaurant med veldig god hjemmelaget mat. Vi har vært mange ganger i Platanias, men første gang på Sonio. Vi kommer garantert tilbake hit. PERFEKT!

Nice hotel right on the beach

Everything was nice about this hotel. We were happy to find a place that would accommodate a group of five. Two bedrooms were comfortable and each room has an AC. The hotel has a small pool but we never used it as the sea is right there and the water is clean and pleasant. The cafe is absolutely charming and serves good food. The owner of the hotel, Sophia, was very kind and provided us with all the information we needed in terms of places to visit, how to get there, etc.

Für einen kurz Urlaub zu empfehlen

Das Hotel ist geeignet für ein paar Nächte. Eine ganze Woche würde ich nicht empfehlen. Wir waren gegen ende der Saison im Sonio Beach und ganz viele Restaurants und Shops hatten bereits geschlossen. Auch war es so wahrscheinlich viel ruhiger, was aber absolut gut war. Einzige 2 Mankos am Hotel sind die Fenster die nicht zu verdunkeln sind. Für Personen wie mich, die bei Lichteinfall nicht so gut schlafen können, war es nicht so angenehm. Die Dusche ist sehr klein und lädt nicht so zum Duschen ein, wen der Vorhang überall am Körper klebt. Sonst war das Hotel und die Angestellten sehr nett.

Meget fornøyd igjen !

Vi var i Platanias som par i en uke. Har vært der før , og oppholdet svarte til forventningene. Sonio Hotel er et familiedrevet hotell , og har et servicenivå som tilfredsstiller til de grader. Rent, ordentlig og god informasjon. 120 meter til stranden. Gode muligheter til fotturer innover i landet , med appelsinlunder, olivenplantasjer mm. Sonio Beach Apartments og Sonio Beach Restaurant drives av ekteparet Smirlakis , og disse fortjener den største honnør for sitt arbeide med at gjestene skal trives. Alt i alt - over all forventning.

Hyggelig restaurant med havudsigt. Super oplevelse

Vi havde en fantastisk uge på Sonio beach. Deres restaurant er helt klart i top 10. Fantastisk autentisk græsk mad. Vi har spist os gennem menu kortet. Intet har skuffet. Fantastisk betjening. Meget personligt... Vi har allerede anbefalet stedet, til flere af vores venner og familie der skal til Kreta. Du bor midt i byen, trukket tilbage fra vejen. Stille og roligt sted. Små hyggelige lejligheder, der bliver gjort rent hver dag på værelserne. Tæt på stranden, hvor man kan leje sol stole. Eget supermarked. Her er mange stam gæster, for her bliver du IKKE skuffet. Ejerne af dette hotel forstår kunsten at hygge om gæsterne "på den gode måde"
