Begona, 10-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Two very satisfied customers

The hotel had a 80s decor and vibe, but the not-so-modern outlook is totally, if not over compensated, by the impeccable service, cleanliness, view at the breakfast restaurant, quality of food, and the ample size of the swimming pools which provide more than enough room for everybody to enjoy. We have had an amazing time there! I paid extra for a side sea view room because the picture looks like a frontal sea view, but it wasn’t, and I probably would not have chosen the same room type next time.

8/10 Very good

Good overall, well managed but has some are

Good overall. We stayed in an imperial room on the beach side of the hotel. Very good facilities overall, but some of the rooms need to be updated and soundproofed. Management is very good. Great attitude, service, and helped to solve problems. The manager also called us at the end of the day to check if everything was all right. The one thing that was the biggest miss for us was inconsistency of service from hotel staff. Some are really great, friendly, and proactive, especially the cleaning staff. But others seemed to have an attitude and a scowl on their face when serving you.

We were travelling with a 16month old so really liked the facilities for toddlers - the playground and two children’s pools as well as the cot that was provided. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is in a great location to get to the beach, and restaurants along the strip. The food was nice in the restaurants - although not too many choices for small children.

Perfect Holiday!

Our stay was wonderful from start to finish. The staff were so attentive and provided impeccable service. Especially Zoi who we had both at breakfast and the Galazio where she introduced the food, outstanding. The facilities were brilliant from the beach, pool, spa, gym and use of the paddle court. Will definitely be coming back here at some point in the future.
Eilidh, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our room was in a newly added wing and very spacious for 3. Very close to a noisy road though, but I guess that can’t be avoided in this area. Staff was friendly and breakfast was very good. It felt a bit overpriced compared to neighboring hotels though.
Philipp, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Thanks
SANGWOOK, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay for relaxation on the premises! What I particularly liked is that because the hotel is so spread out, it did not feel busy even though it was fully booked. The staff provided a great example of Greek philoxenia by catering to our every need. I think the property is just a few infrastructure upgrades away from being able to be considered a true luxury destination hotel and less of an all-inclusive place. Overall 4/5. Will recommend to anyone in my network needing a resort in Platanias.

8/10 Very good

This is an older hotel. Unless you pay for a beach front room this property is old. It is split into 2 hotels which are joined by a bridge that takes you across the street to the beach side where the rooms are slightly nicer. Not the cleanest hotel and staff not professional. Beach chairs are uncomfortable and chairs by the pool are all on grass. Not the type of hotel we thought we were getting.
Perry, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Incredible service, great location, delicious breakfast with wide selection. Truly 5 star experience. I used spa, laundry services and they were excellent. Booked a tour through front desk then had to cancel the night before the tour due to health reasons and got refund for the tour no questions asked. The concierge service is excellent, we got a lot of good recommendations. The room and bathroom are spacious and kept very clean throughout the stay. Location is very convenient, tons of great restaurants nearby. The doctor’s office is across the street, which was very helpful. Very welcoming staff, special treatment upon arrival and gift upon departure. We’ve had a great time and were very happy with Minoa Palace Resort.
