Guest comments

However, there are also negative reviews. The hotel is good, but not for those people who want to relax in silence. Many tourists with children come here, so there is no need to wait for peace. Unless, of course, you come here in the winter. When the prices are an order of magnitude lower, and the hotel is half empty, as most vacations are in the summer. The water in the sea is also much cleaner. But it’s cooler, not everyone will swim, because in January-February here its temperature is 13-15 ° C.
The hotel has great staff. Cleaning is daily, and it can be ordered for a certain time by contacting the reception. Constantly report fresh towels and change linen. There are also beach ones, but under the signature. And here everyone speaks Russian - almost every tourist notes this fact with pleasure.
In general, Cronwell Platamon is a good hotel for a good rest. Tourists who want entertainment, high-quality and delicious food, as well as the sea, will definitely like it here. Only if you want to relax here in the summer, it is better to use early booking. The hotel is popular, so there are almost no vacant rooms left by the beginning of the season.
