Great stay

The hotel is wonderful. Good food and beautiful views. Check in however is painful. They sit you down, make you fill out this whole thing on an iPad and the nice lady was trying to get us to go eat before going to the room. It was 21:30 after a long travel day and I just wanted to wash my face and take my shoes off. It would be ideal if you just hand over your passport and card, and have them fill out the info and hand you a key card. The balconies could use a bed or ottomans to put your feet up.

The hotel is unique - it has a position on a hill overlooking on all sides the sea and the gardens are beautifully kept. There is space to wander around a beautiful beach and though you know you are there with other people a space and tranquility too. The restaurant near the bar is wonderfully overseen and you are treated with real friendliness.

Minos Palace is a gorgeous property with wonderful staff and top notch service. The hotel was able to arrange a taxi for us from and to the airport. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a larger room with a nicer sea view, received a very warm welcome with a welcome drink and tour of the hotel. The food is excellent, every staff member is very friendly and attentive, and the amenities were fantastic - spa, restaurant, lounge area with live music & DJ, pool, beach, and wellness activities like yoga and sound baths. It's also a short walk to the town. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation in a beautiful setting, and would easily stay here again. Thank you to the team at Minos Palace!

I and my daughter have been to this hotel 3 times. This time the rooms had been upgraded and it was even better. The view from the Zen room was fabulous and the general vibe is understated, sophisticated and relaxing. Its not a fun party place - although the staff are fun and always friendly. Its a beautiful place - fabulous natural surroundings and I will return next year. The only issue was with guests in family groups blocking sunbeds which mean that even if you get up early all the beds have towells on and nobody shows up until after breakfast finishes at 1030. There are notices out to say dont do this but there is not any real consequence for those that do. still this was not on every day and didnt really spoil our trip.

This is such an amazing hotel. It’s modern, clean, the breakfast is excellent, the staff are so helpful and friendly. It’s an easy walk into the town if you are able, otherwise it’s a very quick taxi ride. I have stayed at other five star hotels in Greece and this one definitely earned its five stars. We stayed in a sunrise room and it had all the mod cons that you would need. The bed was so comfortable, the shower was excellent. I really liked the fact that it had air conditioning and a fan in the ceiling in the bedroom so you could regulate the temperature to your liking. I would highly recommend this hotel!
