Plaza Spa Apartments

The resort and setting

Plaza Spa Apartments is an independent timeshare property affiliated with RCI, located on Crete. The accommodation is apartment-style, built for families and groups who want more space and privacy than a standard hotel room, plus the flexibility of cooking and living arrangements that come with a home-from-home stay. The resort's spa facilities offer treatments drawing on Greek wellness traditions alongside more conventional therapies, giving owners somewhere to unwind after a day out exploring the island.

The area and things to do

Crete rewards owners who like variety within a single destination. The island mixes coastline, mountains and archaeological history, and most of it is reachable on a day trip from a Cretan base. Highlights within easy range include the Minoan ruins at Knossos Palace, the dramatic hiking routes through Samaria Gorge, the turquoise waters of Balos Lagoon, and the Venetian harbour and old town of Chania. Local food is a strong draw too — fresh seafood, island olive oils and regional wines are part of daily life here, not just a holiday extra. Heraklion International Airport is the main gateway, roughly 30–45 minutes from most resort areas on the island, which keeps travel time manageable for a week-long stay.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Plaza Spa Apartments and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. This is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, your listing is visible to buyers and renters searching for Crete timeshare weeks, and interested parties contact you through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to post your week, and BidMyTimeshare.com charges 0% commission on the sale or rental itself — the price you agree is the price you keep, minus the listing fee.

Because Plaza Spa Apartments is an independent resort, any resale transfer is handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a large brand's central transfer department. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort's management: the current transfer or resale fee, the current annual maintenance fee, and whether the association holds any right of first refusal on the sale. These details — and how long the transfer process typically takes — can vary by property and should be checked with management ahead of closing, since no fixed figures are published for this resort.

What buyers and renters typically look for

Buyers researching a Crete timeshare week tend to ask about the apartment layout and sleeping capacity, whether the spa and any other facilities are included in the maintenance fee, and what week or season is attached to the unit. Renters are usually focused on travel dates around Crete's spring and autumn shoulder seasons, proximity to Heraklion airport, and whether the unit suits a family or a couple. Since Plaza Spa Apartments carries an RCI affiliation, owners can also mention this to buyers interested in using the week for exchange into other RCI resorts, rather than staying in Crete every year.

Practical notes

Anyone buying a resale week should request written confirmation from the resort's management of the annual maintenance fee, any outstanding transfer costs, and exactly what is included — for example, whether RCI membership or exchange credits carry over automatically or need to be re-registered by the new owner. Sorting this out before money changes hands avoids surprises after the transfer is complete.
