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!

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.

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.
