Luxury Hotels in Plataniás

The experience of staying in Minoa Palace resort was simply outstanding! The facilities, the services and above all, the personnel, made our stay one of the most amazing experiences when it comes to summer vacation! We travelled for the first time with our baby which was 8 months old, and they made everything so easy for us, being always there to help us, to find solutions for us, and always with a huge smile on everyone’s face! Totally recommend it!

It was perfect, the house, the owners were super helpful and sweet

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic hotel in Chania, Crete, and I can’t praise Samauthe and her team enough. From the moment I arrived, they made me feel welcome and truly valued as a guest. Samauthe’s warm hospitality set the tone for my stay. She was incredibly attentive, ensuring that every detail was perfect. Whether it was recommending local dining spots or arranging activities, her knowledge of the area was invaluable. The team mirrored her dedication, always ready with a smile and a genuine willingness to assist. The hotel itself was stunning, with beautiful accommodations But it was the exceptional service that truly made my experience unforgettable. Every interaction with Samauthe and her team felt personal, and their passion for hospitality shone through. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Chania, I highly recommend this hotel. You won’t just enjoy a comfortable stay; you’ll also experience the warmth and kindness of a truly remarkable team led by Samauthe. I can’t wait to return!

The pool was lovely and most of the staff were so friendly ' the bar staff & big shout out to the lovely Niki who helped us learn how to play Doors while it rained :) Always had pool chairs and access to fresh towels, overall lovely relaxed atmosphere! The entertainment at night was enjoyable - e.g. one night a local Cretan dance. Lovely little token of local honey given at the end of the stay which is a really nice touch.

It is impecable and very well located. The room was cleaned and with a great views of Chania. I will come back here when in Crete

There are places that impress and there are places that really try, but fall short. Unfortunately this is one of the latter. I didn't really understand the resort concept and mood at all. It is designed in a way to emulate adults only vibes but is a baby family magnet!! It is designed to be beautiful and calm but in reality it is a huge maze of houses and small corridors with lack of privacy everywhere (lucky you if you don't a random children strolling or lost inside your villa area..). I mean why is this even baby oriented? Lots of stairs, lots of walking, everything seems the same everywhere you turn, dark rooms, blistering dark restaurant area at night, a public road separating the beach...I could go on.. Oh the beach let me just say they try to have a beach club but is so cramped in the corner of the beach.. it just doesn't makes sense. The beach is average to poor for Crete standards too. The outdoor gym.. if you put glass walls and AC maybe people will use it. At 30°C who will train there? The machines and equipment is top notch though. At night there is no airy space to chill, only at the reception at the top of the hill with no ambiance at all. Everywhere else the air doesn't flow as everything is cluttered (better to choose a upper floor villa). Ok.. now for the positives. Grounds and plants are really beautiful and well cared. Food was good and breakfast has a lot of variety. Staff polite but very heterogenous most of them rushing service, they feel short numbered at breakfast. Didn't like the breakfast receptionist communicating skills. Rooms are big although not cosy and condition is average since there is some wood and walls damage. I mean grey color all around the walls and ceiling just gives a darker mood that is not so inviting.

Breakfast was tops quality of selection and food Choices, excellent. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The choice of having a quiet area to just rest and The chair option services are attractive features.

I don’t usually leave reviews but felt I needed to as Katerina was so so friendly and helpful! She made us feel very welcome and looked after. We stayed here for 2 nights before moving on to a beach resort and the location was perfect being so close to the harbour but slightly away from the noise. The room was very spacious and comfortable, we were very happy with our stay here 😊

Every thing was amazing
