Staying at Minoa Palace was a delightful experience overall. The staff genuinely made the stay memorable with their helpful nature, and the dining options were extensive and delicious. The facilities catered well to families, making it a great place for relaxation and fun. However, there were a couple of minor hiccups during my stay regarding room management and service protocols that should definitely be refined.
I absolutely loved my stay at Minoa Palace. The service was top-notch, with staff members consistently going out of their way to ensure my comfort. The breakfast was a highlight, offering an impressive selection every day. The pools, while initially a bit cool, became enjoyable as the week progressed. My only critiques would be the early breakfast options and the Wi-Fi, which could use improvement. Overall, it's a lovely place to unwind in Crete, combining luxury with a personal touch.
The hotel offers a fantastic stay with exceptional staff who provide excellent service. The dining options are diverse and high-quality, making every meal a treat. The rooms are comfortable with modern amenities, but be cautious about dining limitations for all-inclusive guests. Though the location is convenient for exploring nearby attractions, be aware of potential restrictions on restaurant access unless you arrive early.
