“Family run business, all smaller and cosy and clean, calm vibes and smiles. Enjoyable week.”
Room - enough for mother and two kids, clean and nicely equipped, we could have warmer blankets as we stayed in late October, maybe we could have asked as well, nice little apartment :-) Breakfast - variety of homemade snacks and sandwiches, cereals, ham and cheese and all sorts of sweet bakery products - we had everything Personal - everybody very kind and as said under their logo: everything starts with a nice smile. Family and friendly atmosphere. Location - shops and tavernas in the area, beach within 5 minutes walk, Heraklion airport nearby, bus stop on the Main Street, parking for a rental car, super! Thank you Minoa!

“Staff were friendly and fantastic. Lovely family run hotel and would return. Great location. Few mins from beach, restau”
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.

“Very nice breakfast and friendly people”
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.

“Absolutely lovely ! Would come back again :)”
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!
