Just got back from there with a few comments: Minos Palace- has a wonderful location about 3-4 km from downtown Aghios Nikolaos and it offers wonderful views over the sea and the port. But if you are looking for sandy beaches, this hotel is situated on a rock. It has a kind of beach which is about 30 m long... more

This hotel surely deserves to be included in the above web site. A great hotel with many repeat guests. Friendly welcoming staff. Great variety of food (well prepared and cooked). Spacious rooms with large balconies, well maintained and clean. Large swimming pool which is both deep and cold - shallow area for none swimmers. Good water sports centre. Weekly Cretan... more

My daughter and I stayed at this hotel for a week and have just returned. We were upgraded to a suite with a shared pool and treated very well by the staff. This is easily a 5 star hotel, I think the people that have written critical reviews want something for nothing, particularly as this hotel is slightly cheaper than... more

We stayed at the Minos Palace Hotel for 10 nights arriving back on 11th October, 2008. The hotel room we had was a de-luxe 3-bedded room with a lovely view. The room was clean and functional, although the beds were hard and the pillows too soft. Towels and sheets were replaced daily. We were on a half board basis, the... more

Although all the atmosphere of the resort was indeed very romantic and idilic, the room we ve stayed (bungalow, which is actually more expensive than the deluxe sea-view rooms) is definitelly not belonging at a 5 star hotel (not even a 4 star). We have... more

The room was clean and functional towells were reaplaced daily. We were on a half board basis, the breakfast was a buffet style and offered plenty of choice,... more

Our room with shared pool was good, with lovely views of the bay and its islands and kept immaculately clean by cheerful staff. The beds were too hard (orthopaedic firmness) and the pillows too few and too soft; no amount of requests to remedy these things had any effect and we all slept poorly as a result. Choice of food... more

I have just returned from my 2nd trip to Hotel Minos Palace, Crete (1st - August 2007, 2nd - July 2008) and am still very impressed. For my first holiday I stayed in a standard sea view room (suitable for 1-3 people) - very clean - excellent bathroom with shower and HUGE towels! For my second holiday I stayed in... more

We have just returned from our stay at the Minos Palace and would like to share our holiday experience with anyone who is considering staying here. We had booked through a reputable tour operator allowing them to allocate our 5Star Hotel on arrival. We were pleased to learn that we would be staying at Minos Palace as the brochure pictures... more
