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 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 They are very outdated and there is no privacy as it is separated from the hotel by an area of land that has a mobile trailer on it and what appeared to be someone' residence.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 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.

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

A fantastic hotel. Great position with a large private beach/ coast. Fantastic views. 15 minute costal walk to Agios Nikolaos. Breakfast was exceptional with lots of options and first class service. The only area for improvement was the main building sea view room which was a little dated and in need of some modernisation to keep up with the rest of the hotel. The bungalows look great and I when I come back Id go for one of those instead…. Overall this hotel was brilliant. A true 5 star paradise to relax and de stress! Go for it…

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!
