We had such a lovely time at this resort. Excellent facilities, very clean and great customer service. Angelo on reception was always keen to help answer any number of queries we had.

Jürgen, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Jake, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Danny, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Rebecca, 7-night trip

Samantha, 3-night trip

Really enjoyed our stay! Staff is super friendly, facilities are great, and food/drinks excellent. Both dinner a la carte and buffet are super high in quality and perfect value for money.
Dante, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My husband and I stayed at the Minoa Palace for a portion of our honeymoon with the half board package and we greatly enjoyed the experience. Their location was great and transportation to Chania was easily accessible. The half board includes breakfast and dinner in which the food was excellent. We choose this option so that we could venture out during the day and explore other places for lunch. Their services were amazing from the spa to the various classes you could participate in. The pools were beautiful and easy access to the beach. I would highly recommend a stay here if you’re looking for a place near Chania.
Sabrina, 4-night trip

Great to have a choice of poolside and beach areas. Room was very good and had a great view out into the bay. If anything could have been better it was that the food options could have been greater.

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.
