Stayed 6 nights in a pool view room which we were upgraded to. Had a beautiful view from the 2nd floor. The bedroom and bathroom were both very spacious and clean. The buffet breakfast was excellent. Was fresh every morning and had a very large variety of hot and cold dishes and sweets. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Overall a pleasant stay in a beautiful property.

The best hotel in Plantanias. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The hotel is always clean, accessible and full of character. Breakfast was superb and the restaurant by the beach a lovely venue to eat it. An area I would suggest improving would be the menus of the restaurants to cater more for vegetarians and vegans but this is not a criticism.

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.

We loved our time at Minoa Palace Resort. Immediately upon arrival we were greeted with bubbly and friendly staff. Upon check in we were escorted to our room where we were gifted a bottle of champagne and some chocolate covered strawberries to celebrate our honeymoon. The room was spacious and clean. The pools and beach access were excellent. To top it off, the complimentary breakfast was absolutely delicious. The spa facilities were also very nice. My husband and I both had wonderful massages. The resort is about a 20 minute drive to downtown Chania but there are plenty restaurants and activities to do near the resort. 10/10 would recommend this resort to anyone.

Despite our stay starting with a havoc caused by the fire on the neighboring farm (not the hotel's fault), it turned into a very pleasant experience with the hotel personnel at all levels trying hard to mitigate any negative experience we might have had, even without us asking. The room was cleaned from ash blown in by the wind from the fire immediately, and, as soon as it became possible, we were upgraded to a room with beach views and farther away from the fire affected area. Staff on the property all are extremely polite and accommodating. I highly recommend this place to anyone planning stay in this area. A lot of tours available in the area, amazing dining options, and very warm local people will add extra positive notes to your enjoyment of the beach.
