Minos Palace Hotel & Suites - Adults Only

Absolutely fantastic experience at this incredible hotel. Everything about this place is top class. I cannot speak highly enough about it. In particular the staff provided the most amazing service, it was spotlessly clean all the time, and the facilities were all incredible

My husband and I spent 8 nights at this hotel and had such a lovely time. The hotel is set in a peaceful location with great views , lots of different areas to relax and sunbathe in throughout the day , whether you want the beach , infinity pool or one of the sunbathing decks jutted into the side of the rocks. Drinks service was very prompt , u just scanned the QR code and they were delivered to your sun lounger . We never had a problem finding a lounger . Most lunchtimes we went to Nyn Restaurant where we throughly enjoyed the food, wine , relaxing setting , and such wonderful friendly staff who made us feel so welcome . Thank you to Anthimos, Marina, Maria, Anastasia and Eleni you really made our holiday . The evening we visited this restaurant was very special , such a great setting with the perfect view , so amazing . We also ate at the hotel buffet restaurant which had plenty of choice and we found breakfast also to be of good standard. Pre dinner drinks with the poolside view and the sea in the background was lovely. We also both had treatments in the Spa which were really good. We had a sunset seaview room which was very clean and comfortable with a beautiful view over the bay to the town. We booked a semi private Catamaran trip which was really great , lovely food , great staff and plenty of drinks, would def recommend. We went into Agios Nikolaos for dinner at Skala by the Lake , and visited the new Piato restaurant twice as loved it so much . We also booked a beach day at Ammoundi Club, the food here was well worth a visit even if not going to beach . (7 euros in a taxi each way ) We also ate at the Samurai Sushi restaurant at the Royal Marmin hotel in Elounda , it was in a very tranquil setting as you looked across the bay , the food and restaurant was amazing. (23 euros each way) We booked private transfers from the airport via holiday extra which cost £115 return. We loved everything about this holiday , found all the people in Crete so friendly and the food was wonderful everywhere we went . Minos Palace hotel you really delivered for us . Thank you

We had a very relaxing stay at Minos Palace where the staff gave us an exceptionally warm welcome. The food was made from the freshest ingredients, the beds were super comfortable (special mention of the air-conditioning unit which was the quietest I've ever experienced during a hotel stay and one that didn't make the air feel too dry, which is an important part of wellness and a good night's sleep), and the location was absolutely stunning. I especially loved the gardens which were buzzing with bees around lots of native flowers, as well as trees full of birds singing. The fact that the town was an easy walk away, with a stunning boardwalk and panoramic views to enjoy, was an added bonus.

We have been here twice. We absolutely love the hotel, room and staff. We will definitely go back. Everything is always so clean. Everyone is sooo nice and helpful. (One thing that was missing for us: fresh fruit juices and real milkshakes, made with real fruit. No added sirup or sugar or loads of ice. )
