Porto Alegre Hotel in Kalamaki (Chania)

Porto Alegre Hotel is a beachfront property across the street from Kalamaki's blue-flagged sandy beach. The bus stop for Chania route 21 sits outside the hotel, putting the Venetian harbor and old town within a 10-15 minute ride. Nearby Agia Marina and Platanias have water-sports shops, restaurants, and nightlife.

Two separate pools give adults and children their own swimming areas, with sun terraces and outdoor furniture on the complex grounds. The hotel provides pool and beach towels, and the garden has a children's playground with outdoor play equipment. The pool bar serves juices, drinks, and snacks, with a daily happy hour from 16:00 to 18:00 offering discounted cocktails.

The hotel's dining area is the rooftop garden, with panoramic sea views from the breakfast terrace. The daily breakfast buffet includes traditional Cretan delicacies such as spanakopitakia and egg fritters, plus fresh fruit, sweets, and coffee. The kitchen focuses on Mediterranean cuisine using fresh local ingredients such as olive oil, cheese, and vegetables.

Room categories include Superior Double or Twin Rooms, Triple Rooms with Pool View, and Superior Double Rooms with Sea View. Each room has air conditioning, a safety deposit box, free Wi-Fi, and either a pool-view or sea-view balcony. Daily housekeeping refreshes towels and bed linen, and the front desk stores luggage on departure day.

The hotel provides on-site babysitting services, a children's playground, and kids' outdoor play equipment, so parents can use the pool or rooftop garden.
