Just back from a fortnight at this very good standard hotel.The room,with beautiful garden view,was spacious but bathroom poorly appointed and in need of minor repair. The public rooms,and gardens,are magnificent with the older part of the hotel,for me,having the edge over the minimalist new wing in so far that there actually appeared to be people in the newer part!... more

I had read many of the sites reviews prior to travelling and having siphoned through them I was basically expecting a nice hotel, average food and a dull resort. We had considered changing to another hotel having read some of the comments about the food, however I am glad we didn't. I think many of the negative comments people have... more

Minoa Palace, is located in Platanias village, close to the city of Chania. After I've seen some complains from tourists about the location of hotel and Platanias village I want to say only that if you are looking for a shopping session then you should book a vacation at Milano, because in Platanias you will not find fancy clothes, shoes... more

We stayed at the Minoa Palace Hotel for a 2 week holiday towards the end of August. Having read previous reviews we were slightly apprehensive of what to expect but all I can say is what a wonderful hotel with outstanding food! Location Minoa Palace is set by the sea in Plantanias, a nice area with plenty of restaurants, bars... more

Having read some of the reviews, not sure how we would fare.... all I can say is we had a fabulous week!! We had a room in the Imperial Building with own pool (we were moved from an Imperial garden view room due to a problem) - WOW what a lovely surprise this added to our week. The rooms were... more

People that have written negative reviews on here about the hotel either have no idea what a 5 star hotel is or simply work for rival hotels! Let me address the following, the food the rooms the pool area and the location. Food: Well if you can't find something to eat either at breakfast or dinner then you never will... more

5 star accommodation but definitely 3 star food. Salad, desserts and fresh fruit the saving grace. Greek staff were very friendly and helpful but the non Greek staff could hardly be bothered to speak to you. Our room in the Imperial building was spotless and very comfortable, outlook was over what was called the garden area, actually looked over the... more

We returned to the Minoa Palace this summer in late July for two weeks following a very successful holiday there last year (rarely do I return to the same place - I have spent most of my life travelling 150 days around the world each year - and there are many hotels to which I certainly wouldn't return !). Stayed... more

Booked the Minoa Palace through Thomsons for family including 3 (older) teenagers. The hotel was great - service good and facilities very good. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel. The pools are good and the hotel also has its own beach. We had no problem getting sunbeds by the pool or on the beach. The Thomson's rep... more
