We spent the last night of our weeks holiday at this resort as a treat. The room was very good - very clean. Some excellent perks such as welcome drinks / cocktails and a bottle of wine. The Spa was beautiful- I enjoyed their amazing cool pool and jacuzzi all to myself.
Beach and hotel pools good.
What let this place down was the very poor quality of food we ordered with room service. I had to send this back - they did not them charge me for this.
I just would expect the food to be of much higher quality - to match the environment. Not 5 * food.
The breakfast was good but I was told I could not take my coffee out from the breakfast area - whatever we had had to be consumed there. Bearing in mind the pool can literally be 5 steps away from the breakfast area. I think this may be to dissuade any guests taking the inclusive breakfast foods outside of the restaurant - I don't know - but not very 5* to have such ridiculous rules.
Staff on the whole good.
When we checked out however the receptionist only asked for me to pay thr €10 tax ( no problem) and did
nothing else. Noticeably not asking if we had enjoyed our stay etc etc.
Would we go back again - maybe - the layout and rooms and gifts were very good. Not sure!!

I am very satisfied with the service. Ctrip's customer service is also very professional. Thank you very much.

The resort grounds are very beautiful! The beach area is nicely kept, from there you can see breathtaking sunrises & sunsets. There are plenty of beach chairs available, and you can have a fresh beach towel every day, if you wish. You can get served with food/beverages the entire time the beach area is "open". The food choices are amazing, a massive buffet both at breakfast & dinner, although dinner varies every evening, according to themes (Greek, Grill, Italian...). Room, bed and bedlinen were very comfortable. Our room had a nice view to the main swimming pool, with the sea in the background. We received a complimentary wine bottle at checkin. Staff is polite. There was always nice live music playing somewhere every evening.

Since not everything is perfect, towards the end of our stay, the room next door got occupied and I could hear them being intimate, so thin the walls are! The cleaning lady filled the shower gel container with water, and did not refill the lotion. The spa pool & jacuzzi waters are kept so cold, it's impossible to get in. And they should upgrade their gym, which is not compatible to a 5-star hotel (extremely old/bad equipment).

Nevertheless, we recommend the hotel, and would consider returning, since we had the relaxing time we were looking for.

Great stay at the Minoa Palace.

The hotel facilities are great and never felt over crowded, although the hotel was fully booked.
The swimming pools and the beach are perfect.
Spa is really nice, a bit expensive.
Restaurants are overall good.
Service is friendly and professional.

Few axes of improvement:
- Room cleaning can be better (the dishes brought in the room should be removed, cocktails for exemples)
- No allergens indications at the restaurants!! This is actually a very important point of improvement. The hotel makes you sign 2 or 3 formulas upon arrival but then, you’re at your own risk at the restaurants.

Overall, very nice holidays with a good price ratio for a 5 stars hotel.

We had a wonderful time at Minoa, with staff that was helpful and friendly and facilities that made our stay a treat!

Their beach area was neat and tidy, and complimentary sunbeds. We also used the tennis court and also had a coaching session which we very much enjoyed!

The breakfast was nice with Greek and other foods, something there for everyone!

I can definitely recommend this place for your vacation.

+ The bottle of wine offered in the room, and the complimentary welcome cocktail drinks.
- Limited hours to use the pools. Pebbles beach not good at all. Didn’t accommodate (with breakfast to go) for early check out to go to airport. Didn’t replace small shampoo & body wash mini bottles in shower.

Genuine 5* experience. Great facilities, convenient location and the staff were lovely and super helpful. Incredible food options in the main restaurant, super fresh and very high quality. We stayed during the end of May bank holiday, resort was busy but we never had a cue or wait for anything. The beachfront rooms were a little walk from the main hotel including a walkway over the main road so ask for a room in the main resort if you'd rather avoid, but wasn't an issue for us. Can't wait to go back!

Was here for the second time and was impressed again: beautiful and clean facility, great breakfast buffet, friendly staff, nice features such as guest gifts and cocktail vouchers.
Gladly again!

All aspects of the room should be old. The service is ok, it is not recommended to choose the sea view breakfast provided by them, it is not as good as the buffet breakfast.

Very conveniently located this resort has its own private beach and makes it an amazing place for a great vacation. Where do I even start, we loved everything here. The hotel is connected through a private bridge to another property of theirs which takes you directly to the beach. This resort is surrounded by lush green plantations blended harmoniously with the ocean breeze and a peaceful tranquility. There are 4 restaurants, pool bars and a beautiful wellness spa center. The main restaurant offers both nice breakfast and you have different buffets every night, we had the Mediterranean buffet and the grill buffet. The other restaurant but the beach offers amazing a la carte menu. If you are coming here with kids, they have pools for both kids and adults and abundant sun chairs to read and relax. I would also really like to take the opportunity and thank all the staff for their amazing hospitality and kindness. They really made our stay worthwhile. I definitely recommend this resort and we will definitely come back.
