Minoa Palace Resort
4.5/571 Reviews
This was our second trip to Platanias and Minoa Palace. First visit was one week 2021 after COVID. Now we come back but for two weeks to celebrate my 70th anniversary and enjoying great Minoa Palace hospitality again. This time we had room facing the mountain and that area was very peaceful and we did not found any disturbances. Breakfast was good and lot of choices to eat Cretan food. We booked Full Board again with lunch and dinner included. Food was good in every restaurants. Personnel in beach bar were really nice and some of them remember Mr. Aperol from 2021. Good drinks and excelente Charma beer. Pool area is nice and we found sun beds easily every morning. Pool water was quite cold (not heated pool). Minoa team remember my special day with Delux breakfast and great cake. Cons: Smoking in Italian restaurant was not denied from some customers and eating in cigarette smoke around you is not nice. We moved other end of the restaurant to finish our lunch. More discipline for smoking is needed. I hope that one day Minoa Palace could advertise itself as a ”smoking not permitted in pool area, or vicinity policy” Ultra Plan for drinks was very expensive compared 2021. 700 euros for 2 person in two weeks time. If you are drinking much it might be ok, but for us mainly beer lover that amount meas 10 beers a day 5.50€ each, and it is much to drink. If we come back one day we will skip Ultra Plan extras. Do we win or lose in this, who knows. Meaby Ultra Mini plan ? Beer and limonade only or such ? Anyway overall experiences was good and Minoa Palace will get ****** from us.
Asterion Suites & Spa - Designed for Adults
4.7/552 Reviews
Asterion was the perfect place for our honeymoon. From start to finish, the staff here made us feel so welcome. They remembered our room numbers, asked how we were, were readily available for any questions and were just really lovely genuinely friendly people. The rooms were absolutely lovely with comfy beds, sofas and sun loungers. The toilet facilities and shower were good and very clean with thoroughly daily housekeeping. The beach is so close by and has a good amount of sun loungers which you can order drinks to be delivered to. A really nice touch. The food was incredible, such good quality and excellent portion sizes. So tasty, we miss it already! I'd definitely recommend the orange pie and the sausages for breakfast and the linguine for lunch, although everything was fantastic. Breakfast came with lovely refreshing orange juice and cool water was available with each meal too. Our stay was all-inclusive and the variety of drinks available throughout the day was brilliant. The smoothies, mocktails, cocktails and everything in between were great and hot chocolate was available in the evening too, which was nice! The bar staff were also really friendly. Each day, the room's fridge is topped up with numerous soft drinks and water bottles. Coffee is also available in the rooms. The entertainment was lovely and not too in-your-face. 'Greek night' was fantastic! There are lots of cats and kittens, as well as dogs roaming around which was lovely to see, all clean and looked after. Watching the kittens play was lovely. Checkout was really easy and the manager, George, even let us stay longer in another room so that we had somewhere comfortable to be before our taxi to the airport. We are very grateful for this! Thank you so much to everyone at Asterion from making our stay so enjoyable! We would definitely recommend this hotel for couples!
