Minoa Palace Resort
"This resort is unbelievable. They upgraded my room to a room with a small pool in the patio area. They gave me a present before I left the property. The food is amazing, and the private beach is within walking distance. It was a memorable moment in my life. Thank you for all your accommodations."

"Amazing hotel, communication with regard to our booking was great and when we arrived everything was easy. Room was clean and spacious, staff were really friendly, breakfast we were spoilt for choice. Highly recommend Marika, a stones throw from the beach and town too!"

Maleme Mare Beach Resort Hotel
"Lovely hotel on the sea front with two great pools. It’s a little far out from Chania but we used the local bus service to go to Chania and platanias which had a lot more going on. We enjoyed our stay which was good for a four night break. Rooms are immaculate"
