You feel wrapped in a peaceful cocoon the minute you walk in the door. Maria and the customer service team are super lovely and helpful. We stayed in a superior waterfront bunglow which was thoughtfully designed and offered lovely local products in the bathroom. The trick is to get one with a view out to the ocean and then it’s just blue as far as the eye can see. Would thoroughly recommend the wine tasting and food from the excellent team at Terpsis

The entire staff was AMAZING! Every single staff member was friendly and helpful. We had issues with our ferry being cancelled but the staff was extremely accommodating and helpful to make sure we were taken care of and had an extra night. I highly recommend this hotel. It’s close distance to the city with all the restaurants. We loved our stay and are happy to spend our honeymoon at Minos!

The hotel staffs were friendly and looked after us very well. The hotel was attached to a dive centre which was very convenient for us. The food in the hotel was good but we found the menu at the beach bar a little boring for my liking. The hotel was about a 20-25 minutes walk to the town. A place we will stay again.

The Minos Beach hotel was excellent from check in to departure we were looked after at every step of the way, the villas are top class with everything you need. The location is within easy walking distance of the town centre, the views are amazing. We chose to eat at the hotels restaurant a few nights and the buffet was great quality food and varied. Breakfast was included and was also buffet style, again great quality.

One of the best hotel experiences I've had for a really long time. The hotel complex is really large and well thought out. Even in a busy month like August you can always find a secluded peaceful spot to spend the day reading, relaxing, snorkeling and taking a swim. Breakfast buffet was another highlight with a wide range of options at the highest quality. It's walking distance to a wide range of restaurants, both for lunch and diner. But we liked the hotel so much we spent several evenings at the different options within the hotel. Excellent food and wine. The entire staff was throughout our week absolutely top notch. Everyone made sure our stay was above expectations.

One of those places one wishes to keep a secret. A place that’s beautiful day and night with a breathtaking view, open air sunset dinning and wonderful fresh food. Amazing breakfast buffet for every taste..The property is removed but at the same time located that the (fishing) village of Agios Nikolaos can be reached in walking distance. Best time MidMay to early June and mid-September to October before and after the turnover crowds arrive … and stay at least 10 days/2 weeks to allow 2 or 3 days for exploring the historical sights of Crete

Stayed 10 nights in May 2024

Gorgeous location with lots of different places for people at the hotel to spread out and enjoy. Breakfast options were plentiful and a good quality. Rooms were kept clean and were very comfortable and spacious. Staff were always friendly and accommodating. The spa services were of very high quality. Towels and bedding were always promptly refreshed. We dined mostly for dinner at Le bouboulisse as we did not particularly enjoy the dinner food quality in bacchaus. Whilst the gym facilities were sufficient, the equipment could use modernising or being looked after as the treadmills are out of calibration. Also needed some wipes for the equipment after use. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The hotel grounds are beautifully designed and the staff were very friendly. The housekeeping was fantastic and very helpful. A few things to take into consideration when booking the Annex water front bungalows. The description for these bungalows does not accurately reflect the reality. They are very outdated and there is no privacy as it is separated from the hotel by an area of land that has a mobile trailer on it and what appeared to be someone' residence. The annex bungalows are right next to it and on the other side of them is the public beach. We were so disappointed with this accommodation that we asked to change our room right away. The manager was very helpful in accommodating us and switching us to another room. Unfortunately we didn’t get the waterfront that we originally booked however the garden view bungalow was much more updated and very nicely decorated so we were happy. Later that same night we came home to ants everywhere in the room despite not having any food or windows open. They gave us spray and we kept spraying the room for the rest of our stay as we did continue to see them although the amount did decrease. On our last night we found a baby scorpion in our room again this was a shock to us that this would happen in a hotel of this caliber. We understand sometimes these things happen but how these matters are dealt with by the hotel can go a long way and nothing was extended to us to compensate us for our experience.

The service is exemplary. Nothing is too much trouble, they go above & beyond & everyone is always friendly. The grounds & lobby are fabulous with lots of interesting discoveries & surprises through the art pieces. The breakfast buffet is wonderful. The classic rooms are disappointing. Do not stay in one of these - they need renovating & are gradually being phased out. We had an amazing view but the room is not luxury - it is a very basic, worn room. They did move us for the last few nights & the new room was wonderful, but it was extremely expensive for a 'motel' type accommodation which was what we were in for the majority of our stay. There was a cleaner's closet immediately opposite the room and the banging and shouting woke us every day. There are 2 small beaches, & a variety of rocky outcrops with a variety of beach beds on site. All very comfortable and it never felt crowded. We could always find a bed and the swimming spots are lovely. The pool is large. There are two choices for lunch on site. The immediate surrounding area is a little disappointing - there are 4/5 tavernas restaurants within a few minutes walk, but there is a main road with coaches passing by every few minutes & most of the restaurants are on the road. It's just not particularly pretty. They are significantly cheaper than eating in the hotel and the variety was nice. The food was excellent in all of them. It is a 20 minute walk into town and you can walk there along the water.
