An unforgettable stay at Minos Palace Resort

I had the privilege of staying at Minos Palace Resort for one week in November, and it was truly an exceptional experience, far beyond my expectations.

From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by a warm, professional, discreet, and genuinely attentive staff. The services provided are fully in line with the prestige of this establishment, with constant attention to detail and guest well-being.

I also had the wonderful opportunity to celebrate my birthday during my stay, and I would like to sincerely thank the entire team for the thoughtful gestures and special arrangements they made to ensure that this day was truly extraordinary. Everything was carefully planned so that I could fully enjoy the moment, and for that alone, I am deeply grateful.

The environment is remarkable, peaceful, soothing, and ideal for relaxation and rejuvenation. The rooms are simply outstanding, elegant, comfortable, and designed to create a true sense of calm and escape.

I truly feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to thrive and unwind in this hotel for an entire week, in such a refined and serene setting.
A heartfelt and sincere thank you to the entire Minos Palace Resort team.

As soon as I have the opportunity, I will return with great pleasure.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a quiet, elegant, and restorative place, where every moment can be fully enjoyed.

An excellent splurge for couples! We stayed here for three nights at the end of our trip and absolutely loved it. The service was outstanding, and the breakfast was delicious—made even better by the spectacular views. The location is perfect for getting out and exploring the surrounding area.

A small caveat: I recommend having dinner elsewhere, as the on-site Mom restaurant didn’t offer great value. We paid twice as much here as at Peskesi in Heraklion (which I consider the best restaurant in Crete) for a similar meal. Overall, a wonderful place to stay, but look for dining options outside the hotel for dinner.

Very nice and clean hotel with wonderful garden and view. The hotel is well maintained, the view and the surroundings are beautiful, a silent place  and the private beach is a plus. The only downside are that the service is a bit slow and you have to wake up in the morning to find a place to stay on the sunbeds. It is a 5 star hotel that worth to be visited.

First of all, I’m really sorry! I’ve been meaning to write this review for months.

We visited Minos Palace Hotel, as our last holiday before becoming parents last October. It was beyond perfect.

You’ll see from the images the views, the decor and the opportunities that make it. However, it really is the hotel team, I couldn’t think more highly of them.

A special shoutout to Katarina, me and my partner fondly bring up her name.

I look forward to us coming back.

Thanks

We stayed at Minos Palace Hotel and it was such a great experience. The rooms are very clean with comfortable beds, and the staff is extremely friendly. The whole atmosphere is calm, relaxing, and quiet—perfect for unwinding.

The spa is amazing and very helpful, definitely a highlight of the stay. The location is about 1 hour from Heraklion, but honestly you don’t really need to leave the resort—it’s designed for quality time away from stress. At the same time, it’s only a 10-minute ride to the port, where you can find a few nice cafés and restaurants.

Overall, it’s the perfect place if you want to disconnect, recharge, and enjoy a peaceful holiday.
