Entspannte und erholsame Zeit in einem großartigen Resort!

Tolle Poollandschaft, prima Lage zum Strand, sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal! Hervorragendes Frühstücks- und Abendbuffet.

Gar nichts!

Pleasant

Reception staff especially Alyssia were fantastic. Room sizes good and overall service was good

Spa was ridiculous. Booked a 50min deep tissue massage. Told the masseuse stefania my problem areas were my neck and shoulders and to focus on them. She massaged those areas for max 3 mins and then proceeded to tell me after my massage that I need to come back for a neck and shoulder massage as she felt that they tight (surprise she realised that after I told her they were) which was an extra 50e and a facial…definitely felt the pressures of up selling. Not an authentic experience. Shouldn’t have to come back twice to get a massage for an area that should have been completed on the first time. She could have suggested to change the original massage from deep tissue to neck and shoulder to cater for my needs better . This is what makes a 10/10 service.. told reception on check out and they had no comment. Wouldn’t recommend the spa facilities unless you want to be taken for a free ride. Been to several 5 star spas in Europe and never had a poor experience like this.

Very relaxing

Lovely resort. Breakfast was amazing. Great quality and huge variety. Customer service from staff at all levels was excellent. Facilities are very nice. Beach a very short walk with free umbrellas and deckchairs and good snacks. Lots of pools if that's your thing. Beach can get a bit windy in July though when the Meltemi winds kick in. Supermarket is next door to the resort and a cute little shopping strip is nearby with nice jewellery stores and kids activities.

Rooms are a little dated. Wouldn't rate them 5 star. More like 4 star. Resorts in Europe in general need to be a lot more family friendly. Very expensive if you're a family of 4 to have a decent room with kids being able to sleep on proper beds instead of couches. Note that at this resort couches do not pull out to sleep 2 kids. They only sleep one. They just put a single mattress on the couch. Pay close attention to the room configuration if you have kids.

Superb

Comfortable very large room with large balcony. Very spacious. Excellent breakfast (buffet with huge selection of foods). Swimming pool, etc. All signs of luxury hotel. The room has many closets, drawers, TV, coffee machine, etc. Touristy area, with many nice restaurants nearby.

Only two coffee capsules provided free of charge. (Even lower class hotels renew suplies daily!) Same goes about the bottled water. The beach near the hotel is so-so. Quite a distance from the nearby city of Chania - the taxis are quite expensive.

Great place to stay, staff was great. more family than romantic.

Staff were great. We had a great view over the pool to the ocean. Room was perfect. They surprised us with a birthday cake in our room for my wife's birthday. Very good and very thoughtful. that little extra. Spa area was great.

limited on dinner options. was looking for something a little more upscale and romantic. Unfortunately the adult's only restaurant was not open. Looks like that could have been nice.

Nice stay, staff made us welcome

Great staff, very friendly, they upgraded us (off season.) Beautiful and clean room and hotel, ok breakfast. Good location, restaurants and shops are near.

We didn’t like platanias/environment as much, but that’s not hotels fault, quite noisy street. Little bit old hotel.

Great facilities and amazing staff, however, be prepared for RESORT lifestyle!

The facilities are absolutely amazing - Private pool, private beach, incredible food and restaurants and so much more! The downside was the resort was a lot bigger than anticipated with a lot of people - so be prepared.

The gym is in very poor condition - equipment should be upgraded and/or better maintained. We also didn't get the room that we booked on Booking.com and got "upgraded" to a room that looked straight into another room. Thankfully we got moved, however, I was still annoyed that we didn't get the room we initially booked.

A great choice relatively close to Chania for beachfront, quiet stay

Breakfast- i enjoyed that they had traditional Greek breakfast options including local products from Crete Staff- everyone did an amazing job Room- i picked a room with view to the sea at the imperial side- even though i dont stay much at my room it was a great choice Beach- the beach is of very good quality even though i preferred to drive most days to the famous beaches of crete Proximity to Chania- i picked this hotel to be close to Chania but also to be quiet and beachfront

nothing i didnt like i was aware that most of the north Crete beaches do not have the water visibility that south has but overall the swimming was nice

a very relaxing week- sunned, ate and drank well!

room comfortable and resort quality high. food great. well looked after

there was a requested dress code for dinner buffet which was no flip flops. this is no flip flops but not mentioned in pre arrival info. one overzealous member of guest hospitality team decided to over emphasise this point one night to make my wife feel self conscious while others clearly not chastised in similar way… not necessary!’

Exceptional beach hotel. Really five stars

Exceptional hotel, clean, staff really helpful and nice. Super breakfast selection, best in Greece.

The beach is nice but not blue flag. Being extremely picky here. There were some pebbles which made water shoes necessary. Nothing else really worth noting.

Exceptional

We enjoyed the room, the staff, the location, the swimmingpools, the beach, and much more. The staff were very friendly, and Zoe especially deserves to be mentioned. It's a clean hotel, with lots of options when It comes to food, pools, and activities. You can step right out on to the beach. We recommend eating dinner at the restaurant Galazio, where we also reseved a free breakfast (set menu). Worth mentioning: During high season you need to book a table If you are to eat at any of the popular restaurants In the town. I would like It If the pool time was longer (10-18), but It probably keeps the hotel more calm during the evenings. Minoa Palace Resort deserves a visit!

- Friendly resort with lots to offer but comes overpriced.

- Large sprawling resort . Staff very friendly and attentive ; very much looking to improve you stay. - Nice selection of restaurants & drinks.

- Quite expensive ; £200-£250/night for just breakfast with some dated room decor . ‘Pool view’ was a room a good 500m back from the sea with view of the family pool.

A great place to stay

Friendly professional staff. The Imperial side of the hotel is great, close to the sea and the pool there is nice. Breakfast in the restaurant by the sea was very tasty and the view was wonderful. The beach is lovely, great for swimming. I would come again but definitely stay in the imperial side, the main building is over the road and a bit far from the sea if you like morning swims. The buffet dinner was also good and the Greek live music there was lovely.

No view from our room but it didn’t matter. The sound insulation in our wasn’t the beast.
