Serviceminded staff and very good atmosphere.

The hotel has a very high standard and the entire staff is focused on service; the waiters, chefs, cleaning personel and reception. They simply make your days very comfortable and enjoyable. The location is perfect on the beach, and neither Chania nor Elafosinni are far away. Also the atmosphere is very good; because of the Greek employees.

Best hotel visited to date!!

Wow....such an amazing hotel!! Hotel is stunning, location perfect, food excellent and staff fabulous!!

We stayed in room 710 which was on the beach side of the resort, room was of a good size for 2 adults and our teenage son. Ideal location for the restaurants, pool and beach.

Room was cleaned to a high standard and towels replenished daily. Cleaning staff were very happy and helpful if asked a question.

Breakfast offers a variety of fruits, cereals, hot items, pastries etc.

Inside pool was a godsend to escape the heat!! It felt like we were on a spa day!

I could go on and on about how great the hotel is but you need to visit to experience it for yourselves.

Relaxed and beautiful 5-star hotel

Spent a week here and we had a lovely time. Rooms are spacious and clean, staff wonderful and helpful. Excellent breakfast and really nice pool area. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and about a 15 min taxi ride to Chania centre. Great service by the pool. They are so gentle and kind to children and it’s really just a great vacation overall!

The Minoa Palace Hotel is perfect

Our third visit to Minoa Palace. Another wonderful holiday. It started with the very helpful, friendly and professional staff at Reception. Our room, facing the beach was perfect, and had all the facilities we could have wished for. Access to the swimming pools, sea facilities and restaurants was on our doorstep. There is also a concert hall and an annual classical music festival which we have been fortunate to attend on two separate visits.I have reviewed the restaurants separately as they were of such a high standard. The staff at this hotel, are its greatest asset. Friendly, polite and cannot do enough for you. This hotel is perfect and we shall return.

Best hotel we has tried in Crete

The hotel is clean, the pool areas are excellent, pool bars are very nice, and the beach are high above standard. The biggest asset for this hotel is their staff, from restaurant, wine sommelier who is outstanding, the reception and custom relations. the whole staff is outstanding, friendly and smiling - for us this is very important
