Minos Village

Rooms damp and not clean, ours had spiders all over, even crawling on bed. Location is good, breakfast not great. If you don’t mind these kinds of issues, maybe suitable for a budget traveller.

Really good I liked everything

I'm sitting by the pool on our last day writing this review, When we arrived really late, Nedi the barman came out, greeted us, got our keys for us and then stayed late to allow us to have some drinks after a long day. Perfect start. Great Cocktails, great banter and a great guy. Across the days here I realised that the staff are what makes this beautiful hotel even better than it already is. No fighting for sunbeds, no Blaring music by the pool, just respectful people laughing with their kids in the pool, relaxing and being human beings. Joseph and Selda at breakfast and the restaurant are both lovely people, always a smile, and a chat, we were always welcomed warmly. Food is always to an exceptional level, delicious. Rooms are cleaned to a really high standard, the ladies work so hard all day and are always happy to assist. Anna and Constantine at reception helped us book taxis, called anyone we needed to do the work for us and were a joy to deal with always. I can tell you this, We never go back to a place again normally. I would come here again in a second. I think the staff here, all of them, are the very best I have encountered. I would go as far as to say we made a few friends who I'm very glad I met and I will always remember fondly. Hopefully we meet them again, I hope so. If you are the owner reading this review. Your staff, Nedi, Joseph and all the rest are exceptional and you are very lucky to have them. If you are planning to come here.... Well done, what a decision. Dan, Mary-ann and family 🍺

Fabulous Stay at Minos Village We had a wonderful stay at Minos Village. The room was spacious and immaculate, cleaned daily (except Sunday) with fresh sheets and towels provided regularly. The reception, bar, and pool area were also kept spotlessly clean, which really added to the experience. There was a small issue with the pool water balance at the start of our stay, which unfortunately discoloured white swimwear, but to the hotel’s credit, this was resolved within a few days. The bar staff were always friendly and helpful, and the food was a real highlight – freshly cooked to order, delicious, and absolutely worth the short wait. One area that could be improved is the number of sun loungers. Like many hotels, there were guests reserving them early in the day. On the occasion we did, some guests weren’t happy – not that we reserved them because they were reserving them too, but because we knew each other and apparently that makes all the difference (simply four families with overlapping holidays, not a group booking, and of course, all paying guests). This was a little disappointing, but it didn’t take away from our overall enjoyment. I would say the guests that actually took sunloungers into their rooms overnight and brought them out at midday the following day were more worthy of a complaint but hey ho! The location of the hotel is fantastic – tucked away from the main road so it feels peaceful, yet still just a short walk to lovely restaurants and the beach. Overall, Minos Village gave us a fabulous holiday, and we would happily return. In fact, see you again- same time next year!

What a wonderful hotel this is, small, with a really relaxing atmosphere. It is spotlessly clean, rooms are cleaned every day except Sundays & the extremely comfortable beds were changed 3 times during our stay. All the staff were friendly, always cheerful & helpful. It was nice that we were able to prepare our own food in the room on a couple of occasions we didn’t want to eat out. There are half a dozen family run tavernas on the doorstep, all serving excellent traditional food. The lovely sandy beach is just a 10 minute walk away, and easy bus access to Chania. I hope to return again one day.

Excellent location, very friendly staff, spotlessly clean servicing the rooms 6/7 days . Pool area small but never too busy , breakfast great choice available. Location was excellent with a handful of restaurants around the corner of our hotel and a 10min walk to beach with great value beach bars offering sun beds at 5 euro pp or free in some places with a minimum spend. If you compared this to other Greek island such as Rhodes the beds were really cheap Plenty of restaurants all offering excellent food at reasonable prices. Chania is definitely worth a visit , beautiful harbour with stunning views and shops galore to treat yourself . Platanias about 20mins walk with even more restaurants and bars. We would return 👌🏻
