Minoa Palace in Chania is one of the best resorts out there. All the staff are so kind and hospitable. A special thank you to Almera, who took care of our stay from day one until our departure; she is so kind and one of the best at what she does. Thank you also to Labrini (I hope I'm spelling their name correctly). The accommodation was beautiful, located right in front of the beach, and we had a private pool & private cabana by the beach that was exclusively for us during our stay. The food was excellent. The location is the best. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Elafonisi beach, arranged by the wonderful receptionist; our trip to the pink sand beach was a highlight. I would stay here again and highly recommend it. Thank you for your VIP treatment of us; I can’t thank you enough. Thank you, everyone!

We were travelling with a 16month old so really liked the facilities for toddlers - the playground and two children’s pools as well as the cot that was provided. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is in a great location to get to the beach, and restaurants along the strip. The food was nice in the restaurants - although not too many choices for small children.

Perfect Holiday!

Our stay was wonderful from start to finish. The staff were so attentive and provided impeccable service. Especially Zoi who we had both at breakfast and the Galazio where she introduced the food, outstanding. The facilities were brilliant from the beach, pool, spa, gym and use of the paddle court. Will definitely be coming back here at some point in the future.

Our room was in a newly added wing and very spacious for 3. Very close to a noisy road though, but I guess that can’t be avoided in this area. Staff was friendly and breakfast was very good. It felt a bit overpriced compared to neighboring hotels though.

Great place to stay for relaxation on the premises! What I particularly liked is that because the hotel is so spread out, it did not feel busy even though it was fully booked. The staff provided a great example of Greek philoxenia by catering to our every need. I think the property is just a few infrastructure upgrades away from being able to be considered a true luxury destination hotel and less of an all-inclusive place. Overall 4/5. Will recommend to anyone in my network needing a resort in Platanias.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This is an older hotel. Unless you pay for a beach front room this property is old. It is split into 2 hotels which are joined by a bridge that takes you across the street to the beach side where the rooms are slightly nicer. Not the cleanest hotel and staff not professional. Beach chairs are uncomfortable and chairs by the pool are all on grass. Not the type of hotel we thought we were getting.

The rooms were spacious, the buffet breakfast delicious and the staff was very friendly. However, our key didn't work. I had to go to the lobby 7 times for this, which was a hassle. Also, in a 5 star resort there should be some things for kids to play with in the pool and more pampering amenities in the room, beside the obligatory shower cap. Also, a free shuttle to Chania would have been a big advantage.
