We had a wonderful 4 nights at Belvedere apartments in early September. Everything about the place is high quality and extremely professional. The staff are so friendly and the rooms beautiful and clean. We loved that you could choose your pillow from a range of options - such a clever idea. The breakfast was astonishingly good. All these elements combined to make Belvedere the best holiday accommodation I have ever stayed in. Thank you 😊

Excellent Resort.One of the best we have been.
This resort is one of the best we had ever been in Crete, if not the best from all. It is new, very well equipped and maintained within the highest level. Since breakfast is included in the price, you need to take it into consideration when comparing to other options in Plakias. In addition, the room/apartment is serviced every day. This is very unusual compared to other apartments we had been in Crete. The staff is very hospitable and welcoming. Indeed, the price is not cheap, you our judgement is that we got full return for the cost. We strongly suggest to ignore the French person who gave this resort a score of 6. You need to be a really bad person to rate the Belvedere at 6. The staff told us that this person got the sea side suite, that is facing the street, opened fully the windows, and complained about not having a full silence...
We took a pool and mountain facing suite and it was VERY quiet. We took also a deep body message by Martina, and it was excellent. We highly recommend this resort, if it is within your budget. You will not regret your choice.
Eine liebevoll geführte, moderne, nicht zu große Appartementanlage, mit allem was das Herz begehrt. Das Frühstück wurde nach individuellen Wünschen, täglich auf dem Zimmer zu vereinbarter Uhrzeit, sogar problemlos auf der großzügigen Terrasse, mit Meerblick serviert. Stets liebevoll angerichtet und gedeckt. Auf Wunsch erhielt man traditionell kretische Gemüsevariationen, welche stets authentisch und sehr lecker waren. Reichlich, ausgewogen, gesund und das beste Frühstück, welches ich bisher genießen durfte. Besonders betonen möchte ich, dass auf meine Gluten- und Lactose-Intoleranz zu 100% verlässlich eingegangen worden ist. Ganz klar zu empfehlen!
Die Appartements großzügig, mit super bequemen Boxspringbetten, sauber, gepflegt und mit kostenfreien, hochwertigen Duschartikeln ausgestattet. Der Whirlpool auf dem Balkon ist gepflegt.
Die Küchenzeile mit Spülmaschine, Gefrier-Kühl-Kombi, Backofen, Herd, Mikrowelle, Kaffeemaschine, Toaster, Wasserkocher, versehen , ein Körbchen mit Olivenöl, Gewürzen, Instantkaffee und Tee.
Das Personal stets ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Es gilt zu betonen, dass sich ab 21:00 Uhr kein Personal mehr in der Anlage aufhält.
Die Möglichkeit den Spa-Bereich privat per Zeitslot zu nutzen , haben wir leider nicht ausgeschöpft. Zur Verfügung stehen eine Sauna, ein großer Whirlpool sowie ein Dampfbad. Im Aussenbereich befindet sich ein Meerwasserpool, da auf Chemie verzichtet wird.
Insgesamt somit auch ein sehr nachhaltiges Hotel!
Das vielseitige, fantasievolle, abwechslungsreiche und superleckere Frühstück, das auf dem Zimmer serviert wurde (vllt weil wir in der Vorsaison da waren). Der große, gut möblierte Balkon. Der sehr zuvorkommende Zimmerservice. Das Spa. Der Pool war noch nicht befüllt Ende März, dafür gab es mehr kostenfreie Spa-Zeit.
Die Betten sind sehr gut, das Zimmer, obwohl kleinste Kategorie, sehr groß und mit vollständiger Küche. Alle Menschen waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Sehr komfortable, großzügige und saubere Unterkunft. Alle Mitarbeitenden sind sehr bemüht, ihren Gästen den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Wir waren bereits mehrfach zu Gast und kommen gerne wieder.

Superbe appartement
Bel appartement moderne et confortable avec une grande terrasse à l'Est pour profiter du lever du soleil. Très bon petit-déjeuner complet servi à l'appartement. Nous avons aussi testé le jacuzzi et un massage, très agréables pour finir la journée. Belle plage de Plakias à 3mn à pied. Très bon accueil.
Je recommande chaudement.

Perfection
We visited all the top rated accommodations in Plakias two years ago and judged the Belvedere to be the best by far.
As a result we stayed here last September; have just completed a second stay; and have booked to return this September.
The apartment was very well equipped, spacious and kept exceptionally clean.
We like to take three touring vacations a year in Europe or the USA and the Belvedere is the best accommodation we have had anywhere.

I liked that your breakfast is brought to your room at a time of your choosing. All staff were lovely, as was the pool. The location is great, right by the supermarket and across the road from the beach. Only downside was the noise between the apartments.

Un séjour agréable l’appartement est très spacieux très propre et tout confort.
Le cadre de la ville est un peu moins sympa. Nous avions vu sur la montagne depuis notre terrasse certes mais aussi la vue sur le parking, dommage.
Le personnel est très gentil et très aidant. Supers massages également !
