the property was clean and modern, great breakfast and convenient to places we wished to visit in Crete.

The “family friendly” approach was great, but there were too many kids running around without any adult supervision in evidence, which their posted policy suggests should not happen. We do not fault the hotel, but perhaps more attention should be paid to making sure all guests, not just those with young children, are treated with respect.

We stayed in 5 nights in a room for 4 with two kids. There is nothing we missed or could complain about. Room is clean, modern designed, everything seems to be new. Bathroom is very nice as well and all gets cleaned every day with fresh towels being provided. Pool area is lovely too. What you see on pictures is what you get. Banana, lemon and palm trees, free sun beds and a pool where both adults and kids can enjoy a good time. Breakfast which they serve are FANTASTIC and you really have all you would need from breakfast buffet. Staff is of course very friendly, I would say mainly locals so they really appreciate you as guest. There is a supermarket 2 minutes from the accommodation located on high street where all kind of shopping may be done. You may have a dinner in Minoa too + there are a lot of restaurants down the mentioned high street as well. Closest beach is about 5 minutes walk. It’s sandy one and has number of bars and restaurants directly on it. If you thinking about Minoa, do not hesitate! You will not regret it for sure ;) we <3 it a lot!

Breakfast- great selection of traditional home cooked food. Sweet, savoury, fresh fruit, yogurts. Nice to not see bacon and Cumberland sausages. Location- 5 mins walk to the beach. Several beach bars. We went to Kooba a lot. Great food and you can use sun beds for free or stay by pool for 10 euros each. Worth it as beach got a bit windy. Walking distance to coffee shops, gift shops and restaurants 2 mins. Waves was a good restaurant.

Shower was a bit small and sometimes didn’t get hot water. It may be due to it being solar powered and it was cloudy. The pool are has lots of tree so can get a bit shady. Pool area is beautiful and great to shield you from hot sun.

The location was good. Bus station to the airport and to the Heraklion city center 1 min from the hotel. The sea and the beach in walking distance. The apartment was smaller than on the pictures, but it had a very nice balkony. The pool is in the shade. Probably good when visiting in summertime, but in October would have liked that it was in the sunlight. The staff was very friendly and made me smile. The hotel and the apartment were clean. The breakfast was excellent.

The wonderful team at Minoa (every single staff member) welcomed us as family and made our stay the best. The apartment was lovely (with great views from the deck) was Spacious, comfortable and worth the walk up to the 4th floor. Anastasia offered us a ground floor (my husband had an injured foot but the walk up was worth it!) The breakfast was excellent, the meals, wine and drinks were great. We loved the family vibe and feeling like a part of a small village (mostly Dutch families and couples and a couple of random Kiwi’s to mix it up!). Great place to stay and enjoy Heraklio. Arohanui (with love) to the crew at Minoa

This place is a magical gem in a wonderful location. The staff is something else: they care for you like family, go above and beyond and make you really feel at home. On top of that, there’s wonderful rooms (including a very nice 2-bedroom bungalow that we stayed in, with garden), a pool, super tasty breakfast, parking, a big playground for kids and it’s just 1 minute from the beach and shops. Thank you for making us feel so at home and for the wonderful stay, we’ll be back!

The location was good, close to shops, restaurants and the beach. The staff were wonderful and there was a gods choice for breakfast. The pool area was clean with plenty of lounges although extra shade would help.

We stayed up the back in a house which was quiet but the beds and pillows were uncomfortable and need replacing. There was also a bad smell in the bathroom

Amazing breakfast, calm area, clean, great location, friendly staff, big and nice kids playground. The hotel has a kitchen and offers lunch/dinner with tasty dishes.

We had an excellent and pleasant stay. A minor drawback was that the room had spacious wardrobes but lacked drawers which made it difficult to organize clothes and smaller items during our stay.

Everyone in this family owned appartments made us feel at home. Clean, spacious rooms in a tranquil environment. Breakfast was delicious with a variety of choices and although there are lots of shops and restaurants nearby, we decided to have dinner onsite and didn' regret it....top food quality- reasonably priced. Overall our experience was 10 out of 10 and we 'll definately visit again!

The breakfast spread is simply magnificent. Location makes it easy to take bus to Heraklion central area 5 minutes walk to beach and there is fantastic beach bar called KOOBA (look it up) Good quality lounges and pool Private parking

50 steps to apartment a lift would make it 20/10
