Minos Village

"Fabulous little hotel in a superb location. Rooms were clean and cleaned daily, decent size and very comfy bed. The only slight disappointment of the room was the cooking facilities, we’d hoped to be able to cook and have a few meals on the balcony, but the single hot plate was not sufficient for that. Shower was great when we had hot water, which was intermittent, apparently that’s normal for the area. It’s genuinely at the top end of a 2/3 star hotel rating. And very typically Greek. Staff are wonderful, really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, cooked and cold offerings, sufficient for our needs. Pool area is small but very clean and relaxing. I’d choose a higher floor if possible as the sun beds are positioned right outside ground floor room windows. Location is superb, 4 or 5 truly wonderful restaurants on your doorstep in a quiet, beautiful little area, and you’re 5 mins stroll to the beach. The main road is awash with restaurants, tavernas and bars overlooking the sea. Regular buses, 5 mins away, go into Chania. Would definitely stay again."

"This was a disappointment as a resort . The pool was placed far too near the accommodation especially if like us you had rooms on the ground floor facing the pool with sun beds placed outside your windows. As there weren’t many sun beds , I’d say about 15, the beds at our windows were always full so that there was no privacy. We had a very small terrace which was just behind the beds so no privacy there either. I had requested a ground floor apartment because of my walking disability admittedly ,but we were given a first floor one involving 3 flights of stairs, almost impossible for me.The staff were very good about this and moved us but then we were moved to the one on the ground floor. I just feel that the resort feels like it’s squashed up , badly designed. The rooms were clean and bedding and towels changed every day but like others have said ,fresh bedding just left on the bed .The staff were very friendly and helpful. We paid for breakfast and this was a big disappointment. I know people have said that there’s a big variety of food on offer. Trueish but it was low quality , peculiar orange juice, not much in the way of breads, the yoghurt was very strange and the sausages and bacon very poor. We made our own breakfast 10 days out of 14. Having said all this, sorry if others have loved it but for us it just didn’t compare to last years holiday at a similar place in Rhodes. This is a 2 star resort. Unfortunately we wouldn’t be going back. Aghia Marina , that’s another story."

"This small, well designed hotel is ideally located and suited us down to the ground. The staff are so friendly and hard working and nothing is too much trouble for them. The previous review that says you have to make your own bed is absolutely not true. Beds are made and towels changed every day apart from Sunday. Bedding is changed on Saturday but the maids leave it neatly folded at the foot of the bed ready to use that night. There are only about 20 sunbeds round the small pool but those that choose to spend their holidays laying there are easily able to find a bed. On the couple of days we wanted to chill out we chose to go to the nearest beach club and hire a couple of sunbeds for 10 Euros a day. The breakfast is nice and plentiful served in the bar area overlooking the pool. The actual bar is fairly quiet and really only sees any traffic during the 3 to 5pm happy hour. There is also a later happy hour later in the evening but not many guests took advantage of this. I think they also served snacks during the day but we never ate there apart from breakfast."
