Minos Palace is one of those places where everything just works. There’s a real attention to detail it’s clear this is a place that’s run exceptionally well.
Breakfast is excellent: fresh, healthy, and thoughtfully prepared. The gym is very well equipped (just missing a mirror), and there’s a great daily mix of yoga and activities. The pool area is spacious and relaxing, and the beach and beach restaurant are both fantastic.
Housekeeping deserves a special mention. It’s genuinely outstanding. every time we returned to the room, it had been completely refreshed: bed made, fresh water, new robes, everything immaculate.
The only real drawback was the evening dining setup. Serving both à la carte and buffet in the same space felt a bit disjointed. We waited around 40 minutes for our à la carte dishes while nearby tables using the buffet were up and down multiple times, which took away from the experience.
Overall though, Minos Palace is a beautifully run hotel with a calm, refined atmosphere - we would love to return.

We have been lucky to enjoy many 5 STAR resorts. We are hard pressed to remember a better overall experience than Minos Palace in Agios Nikolaos. The staff care SO much and made us feel like family. Over the past 30+ years, we have spent over 4 months exploring Greece. This is hands down the best location and views we have ever experienced in Greece. Think about that. We highly recommend MP as the ultimate luxury destination.
We also strongly recommend dining in either the Mom or Amar restaurants. World class cuisine, delivered with world class service by Katerina and her team.
We would be remiss if we did not give a shout out to the Operations Manager Aggeliki (easy to spell, hard to pronounce haha). Aggeliki will do anything to make your holiday exceed expectations.
Finally, thank you to Kevin (reception) and Margerita (pool bar) for making our holiday SO special each and every day.

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

Such a beautiful hotel and very kind staff! Breakfast is amazing and both the pool and the beach are superb!
Only downside is a very pricy indoor pool (you have to pay for the use) and a missing sauna

During our stay at the hotel, the only complaint we had was regarding the organization of the hotel beach. Early in the morning, all the sunbeds would already be taken, as guests would leave their belongings on them and then leave, so when we arrived later, there were no available sunbeds even though no one was actually using them.
If we didn’t come early, we were forced to spend our time at the café or by the pool.
This is something that should definitely be better regulated for a hotel of this standard.
Everything else was perfect.
