Agios Vasileios, Crete hotel rooms at the Independent

"I stayed at the Sunrise for a week and have no idea how it was given 3.7 stars. The price of the stay was WONDERFUL for my budget! The location was PERFECT, be it right next to the sea. Manolia the customer service representative was above & beyond helpful. The best part of my stay was the 8€ breakfast! They did a WONDERFUL job with it and helped me stay below budget for my food costs. The room was clean & smelling good. There only one negative thing... and it comes from the customer expecring a Ritz Carlton experience in the farming portion of Crete. Well Worth It. Pay the 8€ for the breakfast and it'll save you 30€ from eating out."

"The room was modern and spacious, balconies with a sea & mountain view. The buffet breakfast was fresh, with hot & cold choices, great coffee! Staff superb. Guests friendly with kind hearts. My wife was surprised when two Dutch couples presented her with a small gift, singing Happy Birthday on her birthday. Parking on site. Close to all amenities. Shout out to Anna & Constantina."

"The room was perfect, very clean and beautiful, amazing location, right at the beach. The owners were very helpful and informative. I would definitely book again."

"Lovely quiet location on the outskirts of the village, in the evening the sound of the waves is very relaxing. Five minute walk to tavernas. Beaches close by."

"Beautiful rooms and pool area, staff was super friendly! Would have been nice if breakfast were included though…"

"The hotel was a lovely place to stay Near to everything you would need Not far to walk to town and the beach "

"Staff was great we enjoyed the food I think the main draw back was it’s a very popular spot on hot days and there isn’t designated parking for people staying at the resort, so sometimes when we would come back it was really hard to find a parking spot"

"Loved the hotel. The food was amazing. The staff were extra nice & made you feel very welcome. It was a delightful stay in Plakias"

"We stayed at the sea view appartments for one night. The appartment is nicely furnished, has spatious terrace, comfortable bed and fully equpied kitchen. There are restaurants, caffes and grocery stores nearby. There was plenty of parking space. We could not make it before reception closed, at 4PM but we were supported and we arranged other check in option. Keep in mind to contact reception ahead of your arrival if you cannot make it :) Our appartment was ground floor so sea view was a little obstructed by other buildings - it was fine for us. There were other appartments on higher floors which most likely had better views. We recommend this accomodation for nice stay in quieter part of the city."
