Excellent splurge location for a couple. We stayed for 3 nights at the end of our trip and loved it. The service is great, breakfast is excellent with amazing views. Its a good location to get out and explore the area. I do recommend eating dinner elsewhere and I will review the Mom restaurant in another google review.

A Cretan Delight

Minos Palace was simply excellent from the moment we checked-in thru to our departure. The rooms are immaculate, the restaurant areas amongst the best we’ve been to, the quality of cooking at the restaurants is world class. It’s an absolute gem.

Amazing hotel with great staff, very well maintained, good food. It's a great hotel for a relaxing time at the superb beach or at the pool, but also some nice hiking routes are easily reachable via rental car. Only negative point was the bar with a quite limited and unflexible offering.
