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

An Exceptional Stay at Minoa Palace Resort
We recently stayed at Minoa Palace Resort in Crete, and we had such a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Every aspect of our stay was exceptional, and the entire team truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well cared for.
A special mention must go to Penelope, Matina, Efrosini, and the entire reception team. They were absolutely outstanding.. They provided us with wonderful restaurant recommendations, arranged reservations for us, and were always happy to assist with anything we needed. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made such a difference and exceeded our expectations.
We also enjoyed a fabulous five-course wine-tasting dinner with Sommelier George. George was incredibly knowledgeable about Greek wines and made the experience both enjoyable and informative. Every course was delicious, and the wines were equally impressive. It was truly a memorable evening.
We were also pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful complimentary touches throughout our stay, including a bottle of wine to enjoy in our room, a continental breakfast, and even a lovely parting gift. These unexpected gestures were greatly appreciated and really demonstrated the level of care and hospitality at the resort.
The beautiful beach attached to the hotel was another highlight. It was the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings of Crete.
Minoa Palace Resort truly delivers top-notch hospitality. From the exceptional staff and beautiful setting to the thoughtful details and outstanding dining experiences, everything was done with genuine care and attention.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our visit so special! ❤️🇬🇷
