Beautiful art, amazing service, unique experience, beautiful rooms, lovely property and great location.Breakfast is fabulous.
Pool service to be more attentive, I was by the pool for hours and not one person asked if I needed anything, you had to go to the bar. They had staff but I guess they didn’t offer that?
45000qm of beautiful crafted and maintained modern bliss Extreme friendly staff members Spacey room and faculties allowing you relaxed and private moments Great food Stunning water
As start of season team just had to get used to new season so some rather ordinary questions could yet not answered immediately.But their kindness and charm always made up for it
The territory of the hotel is big, beautiful and well maintained, most of the room facing seaside at the same time feels private.
The hotel is absolutely stunning. The private beaches are gorgeous. The food is delicious. Housekeeping impeccable.
restaurant was understaffed, service quite slow.The lounge music in the restaurant starting in the morning was annoying - matrass too soft for me
Fantastic hotel, great breakfast, rooms were amazing. Very tranquil setting and just what we needed. Kids used tennis court every day. Would go there again.
No issues.
Best breakfast buffet I have ever seen. Private beach areas outstanding. Gardens lush and beautiful. Waiting staff lovely attitude. Spa was lovely and the massages and facials I had there were first rate. Super comfortable bed and very good quality toiletries. Cleaners very attentive. Serene feel to the whole place. Highly recommend
We arrived late evening after dark and the receptionist was rather curt and rushed. She sped through the app and the rather complicated tech for lighting, audio etc. No tour was offered to orientate us so we missed many opportunities eg a fabulous lounge we discovered as we were leaving. She was the only member of staff who fell short however.
My daughter and I loved the location. Every suite is located just moments from the sea. The gardens are beautiful and we loved the modern sculptures dotted around. We liked the boho modern decor.
The location, the atmosphere, and the activities
Some of the staff members in the reception were not friendly and without minimal hospitality skills. The spa facilities are extra charge which is unfortunate giving we paid good money for the hotel
Great location, amazing staff, delicious food.
The grounds are absolutely stunning, great care has been taken on them and you feel like you’re in an oasis of calm. The staff are incredibly friendly, all restaurants are excellent and though it’s a big place it doesn’t feel like a big resort at all, there’s always space by the pool or beach and it felt very romantic. It far exceeded our expectations and we had seven days of delicious food, crystal waters and total peace
Very little that I didn’t like. Only suggestions would be that the pool area could be a little prettier and cozier, maybe some of the ceramics from the beach would look nice up there and this comes down to taste… but the dinosaur art by the pool didn’t really do it for me! These are minor things though, it’s very hard to fault this hotel
Very fantastic facilities. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great food options, and also conveniently located to town.
There was some miscommunication on our taxi transport and had to do some coordination that we had already done prior to our trip.
The room is spacious, great sea
For €1000 a night you expect to see more attention from the staff, not easy to find a place in the main beach (no staff is around to help you) and commute from the room was very hard. There was no orientation during check in or the day after- they just mentioned the breakfast hours and the open buffet dinner time- They charged fully for the food for the baby (much smaller portion). Food taste is average. It’s not easy to walk around with a pushchair, stairs everywhere.
This is the best hotel in the whole Greece ?. There is very polite, friendly and helpful staff. Excelent food, drinks and service. We stayed inside of the beautiful garden on the calm beach. The sea is like a smaragd.
The noisy door at the toalet. It should be to keep “the rule” about saving water. It isn’t really necessary to change towels every day!
We had the pleasure of staying at Minos Beach Art Hotel for a relaxing weekend, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had stepped into paradise. The hotel itself is beautifully spread across a large area, offering various accommodation options. Based on the glowing reviews, we opted for a bungalow right on the water, and it was the best decision we made.The bungalow was recently renovated, featuring elegant, modern decor and all the comforts we could ask for. The veranda right by the water provided breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere – truly a dream spot to unwind and connect with nature. Walking around the hotel, we enjoyed exploring the lush flora and the impressive art installations that added a unique cultural touch to the entire experience.We also had the pleasure of dining at La Bouillabaisse Restaurant during one of their special Invited Chefs & Friends event. The food was beyond incredible – every dish was a masterpiece, and the service was impeccable. A perfect 10/10 in every way.Thank you to the wonderful team at Minos Beach Art Hotel and the General Manager for his special attention. We can't wait to return!
Almost everything! We especially valued the ample space on the beautiful hotel grounds. It is never crammed with people and there is lot of privacy for each guest. The personnel is absolutely great, exceptionally friendly (in a natural way), forthcoming and competent. The breakfast buffet was the best ever! You can also clearly see the difference from not being part of a hotel chain.
Only the bathroom in our room (in the main building) soon needs a renovation, but everything was working.
The friendly staff and the food , the location
The a/c on the room is terrible..they have a split unit which was not enough to cool the whole room ..it was directed to one part of the room ( left side of the bed which was cool) and the other part of the bed was really hot ..the dressing area and the bath area has no air circulation at all ..I ended up checking out early because I could not sleep because of the heat ..I don’t think it’s worth the amount of money I paid .
Breakfast was excellent,and location great.
There was a some difficulty with finding sun beds had to go out very early to reserve them.
