Minoa Apartments

A spacious room, with everything we needed. The playground for the children was a nice place to spend some time. The parking for our car very convenient.

Ideally located apart hotel for short 30 min bus rides to Knossos and also Heraklion sights. Good beach nearby and some good local Greek restaurants. Quiet as set back 50m from road. Good buffet breakfast. Swimming pool large enough for lengths and also safe kids pool.

Friendly staff, nice pool area, playground, good breakfast.

Very soft (or old) mattresses, living room of our apartment was rather old and lacked some light, also the surrounding area was pretty run down.

Location close to Heraklion. Beautiful exterior design with playground and pool

But, the pictures displayed on the booking site for the presentation of the one-bedroom apartment are not nearly the same as the reality. The air conditioning blows directly on the bed. The TV was located in the hall, difficult to watch from the bedroom. We couldn't find any music or international news stations (MTV. BBC, CNN) The kitchenette is located in front of the double bed. And I found the fridge full of water and it started to cool down after two days. I found the TV remote control with low batteries. Two light bulbs The kettle full of limestone We did not find any toiletries (soap, shower gel), dishwashing detergent, dish sponge, kitchen towels, disinfectant. The room was cleaned once every two or three days. So we had to throw away our own garbage and wipe the floor with what we had at hand. I did not feel Cretan hospitality in any way, no question, no suggestion, no advice. We managed as best we could so as not to ruin our vacation.
