Hotel Minoa Palace Resort  T rating: 5

 

An introduction to Hotel Minoa Palace Resort

With an interior worthy of a top London address, six acres of landscaped gardens and a set of pools straight out of a magazine spread, the Minoa Palace Hotel is the last word in style.

It's a chic-looking complex that wraps around pools, gardens and sundecks. Dotted with parasols and sunloungers, the four pools are woven together with little walkways and arched bridges. Plus there are two outdoor mosaic whirlpool tubs. Add a beach just a couple of minutes' walk away and the scene is set.

And the picture-perfect theme doesn't stop there. Cue a huge marble lobby with an Art Deco-style stained glass roof. As for the rooms, they're on the chic-side, too. Contemporary and spacious, they all come with marble bathrooms, a seated area and a balcony or terrace. Plus you've got mod-cons like satellite TV and individually controlled air-conditioning.

And then there's the spa to think about. All light wood, cream walls and mood lighting – it's certainly got the looks. Factor in a Turkish bath, sauna and a menu of treatments and you've got a luxurious bolthole.

Last but not least, there's the range of restaurants and bars. There are four eateries to choose from, serving buffet and a la carte meals in stylish surroundings. Cue crisp, white table linen, and a menu of Cretan, Greek and Italian dishes, plus themed buffets, too. As for the bars, there are three in all. The show-stealer is the Thalos pool bar that comes complete with waterfalls.
