Minos Beach Art Hotel, Crete

Amazing service and attention to client Great elegance Very relaxing Good mix of beach and rocks

Gardens are beautiful Lots of space

It’s very very windy here Our room (58) had a more compromised balcony than I was expecting

This is a great hotel in a great location. The staff were all amazing and couldn't do enough for us. The standards are very high throughout but the food and staff at the Bouillabaisse restaurant were just stand out.

Our room was quite a way from the main building and it was a long walk in the heat. They did offer to collect us in a buggy if we wanted though.

Everything was wonderful.

The location, staff professional and kind, very good breakfast

Everything, the environment, the happy and helpful staff and pleasant maids, the comfortable bed and pillows, and something that we really loved is that there is always sun beds near the sea all day and every day of our stay.

The bungalows are small and closet space wasn’t enough for couples who pack a lot of clothes like us.

Great location with beautiful views on the waterfront. Good breakfast with plenty of choice, provided us a take away breakfast box on our departure day due to leaving earlier than breakfast start time. Staff polite and attentive.

Advertised as "bungalow" but on arrival was a bit surprised that each room is actually just part of a bungalow e.g. 1 bungalow split into 3 suites, which made the room quite small. On reflection this can be seen albeit subtly in the advertised photos. Fridge wasn't too cold and annoying to keep having to ask for an iron as one is not provided in room.

It felt like being in Paradise; everything is impeccable, from the rooms to the food to the very friendly and flexible staff.The breakfast was excellent and also the lunch at Terpsis. We will certainly be back!

Location is good, easy walk to Ag Nik, the room itself was great, the housekeeping staff are fabulous 11/10 … breakfast buffet is great, onsite restaurants are great if a little expensive, the grounds are fabulous….i suppose it is what you expect at this price range …. Most of the staff were great 👍 the swimming was great …..

The image on the booking.com website doesn’t show the actual layout, there is a big “dogleg” which isn’t shown and u can find yourself 500m from breakfast …. We were fine with it but when u are booking, if u don’t book a front villa u find yourself kinda 2nd class as u can’t access the sea or sub beds so u have to use the small beaches …. It wasn’t.a big deal but it should be clear when booking ….

Absolutely everything! Especially the design of the spaces d how it feels like a boutique property but is actually huge and has every amenity you could wish for. The multiple restaurants and beaches meant we hardly left the hotel in the 6 days we were there. Special shout out to the most incredible breakfast buffet and all of the staff who went above and beyond to make our stay simply perfect.

There was nothing not to like, we adored Minos Beach!

Superb location with a nice room, a lovely private beach (i.e. shared only by guests of the hotel). And you can get drinks / food delivered to your seat by the beach. Overall lovely stay and very relaxing.

A bit on the pricy side.

- Great location (2 private beaches and a 10 minute walk into town) - Very friendly staff (special mention to Alexandros at the main bar who is very attentive/remembers 5* details) - Breakfast selection is very good - We stayed in a sea view bungalow which was very modern and great for us.

- Paying for water on the beach/lunch isn’t in line with 5* hotels (€3.50 for a small carton) and cocktails are mostly ice in small glasses. - Restaurant menus could be improved as not the easiest to follow and pricing pretty high. Most restaurants in town are of similar quality and 1/3 of the cost (The taverna night at the hotel is very good however) - Gym is an afterthought as others have mentioned

We had an amazing trip! The hotel was beautiful! We will definitely be back!

There was not enough place to hang our towels in the bathroom

gorgeous property- loved being right on the water. villa was comfortable for family of 5. location right next to gym and dining area

nothing!

The staff . Friendliest ever and took amazing care of me and aged parents as we dealt with Covid and heart problems . Beautiful location Beautiful gardens Nice villas

The food was far too salty and already added to many dishes !

amazing breakfast, very friendly staff

nothing!

Absolutely fantastic breakfast. Amazing thought to minor details. Staff very kind to both young and old or anybody needing any help. The staff are very well trained. Lots of local food and wine. Very little waste and thoughts concerning the environment. Wonderful place.

Shame that the pool was too cold to swim in but can understand that it is not worth heating for the few weeks that are needed.

Everything is very nice and the personnel very attentive.

Restaurant food is quite bad for a 5 star hotel.

We loved everything........ actually we still do. The stay was just perfect....

Nothing comes to my mind.....

Beautifully designed, it never feels like being in a large hotel. The bungalows are scattered across the garden up to the seafront. A lot of places to stay by the beach or the pool, but as always the best spots are to be taken early on! We had booked a bungalow with sea view and got an upgrade with a private pool. The room was very comfortable. The food is delicious, starting with breakfast that has a nice mix of Cretan and continental food, to dinner where we ate all 4 evening at Adeste restaurant: quiet and village-like feel.

The beds were maybe a bit too soft to our liking. A few more hooks would be handy to hang towels and clothes.

It is absolutely paradise, the staff exceptional and the experience, breathtaking.

Nothing

Sensational breakfast choice and quality

everything is outstanding!

the gym is small and poorly equipped

The hotel was a tranquil retreat in gorgeous seaside setting. We felt pampered! The food was delicious, the staff welcoming, and the accommodations were superb.

The gym was an afterthought when designing the resort. But the pool was gorgeous, the beach outstanding, and it was easy to walk to town for exercise.

Big nice green territory, Long Beach, almost all rooms realized like bungalows

A lot of old couples, but personal said it depend of season

Superb location with direct beach access. It has 2 small sand beach parts and the rest is rock. We loved it! Breakfast was amazing, rooms in very good shape, facilities excellent, to put it simple: you can just stay in the hotel area the whole day and won’t miss anything.

Nothing to be honest, a bit pricey

Excellent welcome& continuing care.Named staff member as contact was a bonus Wonderful facilities and amazing beautiful grounds

A rail in the shower& non slip surface or mat would be helpful. Please check access step ladders to pool and to sea. They are not easy for older/ unfit people. A rubber grip surface on the rungs would be good and some ladders are too high to reach from the sea

Amazing location, staff, food and very accomodating !! thank you and will return

stay rooom view dinner

Fabulous location and wonderfully friendly staff. The best breakfast I have had in a hotel, ever! The grounds of the hotel are absolutely beautiful and the views across the bay are stunning.

Our bed was a little hard, but I do have a bad back and the staff tried to help by putting a topper on the bed. Our sea view bungalow was a little smaller than I’d envisaged, all very lovely but the dressing area was a little cramped.

Almost everything! Especially the staff. Location. Outstanding breakfast. Comfortable beds. Amazing loungers and good food. Very clean room. Loved that we never needed to leave the resort as there are 3 restaurants and great service.

Needs better differentiation on reserved beach loungers. Would be nice for the beach and pool bars to have the same menu. Almost 4€ for 50cl of water at the beach or pool is really too much for.

Probably the best beach we went to was the hotels private beach. Great recommendations by staff for restaurants, olive oil making, car rentals, and they were helpful/sympathetic when the airline lost our luggage. Nice breakfast

Not the hotels fault as it is online but we have a 4 year old and the pool has nowhere he could stand. They did let us go to their sister property which had 3 pools and was much more for families to use their pool which was great.

Everything was perfection!

Nothing

I Love everything about this property and it’s location and staff are wonderful

The chairs in the outside porches of the bungalows or outside rooms are uncomfortable to sit at for an evening . And some of the sun beds on platoons need changing now as they are quite weathered and stuffing coming out ect for 5 stars . Wouldn’t expect this

Lovely place. Our second stay. We particularly enjoyed the Fantastic food with a nice local touch, the beach and this year: the musical entertainment.

Poor maintenance around the pool and beach. Lack of towel, lack of beach towel and lack of tidy during the day when guest have left their sun beds. Bar service during the day was abismal.

The hotel is like a big garden near the beach with bungalows spread around . it is beautiful and well maintained. Spotless clean despite the huge area . The staff is extraordinary. Always with a smile and ready to help or please .

Minos Beach Art Hotel in Crete offers an exquisite beachfront experience. With stylish rooms and a tranquil ambiance, it's a retreat for relaxation. Indulge in a sumptuous breakfast buffet, enhancing the stay's luxury.

This is unforgettable resort the stuff here are exceptional

Room location, size and amenities were all great. Room service, bed makeup and turndown was exceptional. Dinner our first night was delicious.

the beach :)

The main restaurant could use celling fans for when seated outside in hot summer.

Stay was absolutely perfect, we enjoyed everything. Access to the sea is absolutely mind blowing, perfect breakfasts, garden in the hotel was fabulous, everyone was super nice.

The town Agios Nikolas is not prettiest but it offers good variety of restaurants.

Everything!!! Amazing space. Beautifully designed.

Our bungalow was alittle small but it wasn’t a big issue.

literally everything! The beaches are amazing, the food is delicious, the staff are the kindest -- it's the best hotel i've ever stayed in.

everything was exceptional. We have nothing bad to say about it.

beautifully designed. very peaceful

The hotel facilities are amazing, particularly the private beach

The A/C system in the room could be better

We had such an amazing stay! The location is so beautiful. The 3 bedroom Villa was amazing - so spacious and beautiful. The outdoor area is amazing and such a nice place to sit and relax as a family. Breakfast was amazing!! The staff were great! We loved the restaurants and the walk into town

It‘s like a perfect location for a wonderful vacation :)

We enjoyed our stay very much. The hotel is a design marvel, with a minimalist Art Deco style blended with Aegean influences. The hotel features numerous modern art pieces and is also a botanical marvel, showcasing plants from various regions of the world. There are multiple restaurants, and we had the opportunity to dine in all of them— the food was amazing! The hotel boasts a spacious shoreline, which is impressive considering its size, ensuring that there are always spots available for guests to enjoy. Highly recommended!

We liked it all.
