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.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Great service. Great facilities and gorgeous resort. Excellent food and dinning options. Beach was well kept. From the moment we arrived the staff were very attentive and helpful. They handled our bags, had us in our room as an early checkin in a reasonable time. Made us feel welcome and gave us several perks for us to enjoy.

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.

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.
