Wonderful
Absolutely incredible room with the most breathtaking view. Everything was beautifully designed, elegant and so thoughtfully prepared. The lovely welcome and the upgrade made the experience even more special. Truly unforgettable — thank you for making our stay so amazing!
Lackluster
The grounds are outstanding, absolutely stunning. The food is outstanding. The staff is attentive. However, the rooms we stayed in, beach side bungalows, were substandard. The poor room design and lack of amenities hampered our experience. My chief complaints are the following:
Cement floors-no padded rugs; Unable to open suitcase because built in space for luggage only allows for carryon size; Very little vanity space in the bathroom because an oversized sink takes all usable counter-space. All bathroom items have to be stored on shelving in luggage area; Towels are in sink area while shower is in the back of the bathroom; No seating to entertain or play cards in the small living area; Air conditioning is less than adequate; Toilet paper is awful; and No Comcast available.
This might be the best hotel ever 🫶🏻
Madly in love with this place 💙 We usually never go the same hotel twice but this one is worth breaking the rule. There is no place like Minos Beach Art and it’s perfection in every way: the staff is soooo kind and attentive, nothing is too much. The overall experience is beyond great, the ocean views are incredible, the hotel itself is stunning and the food: omg 👌🏻. Big shoutout to the pastry chef and make sure you book a table at Bouillabaisse, one of their amazing restaurants with another AMAZING view!
Minos offers a very calm and inspiring atmosphere. The sunbeds next to the crystal clear ocean are divine and I love love LOVE that little spot 🥹🤍 Our room was beautiful and very clean, we love the turndown service at night.
My camera roll and Instagram are full and so are our hearts. I can’t wait to come back here, making it an annual thing🎉 💙 Thank you dear Maria, Konstantinos and all others to take such good care of us💙

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A truly special place – we keep coming back!
Minos Beach Art Hotel is one of those rare places that feels truly special from the moment you arrive. This was our third stay, and somehow it continues to exceed our expectations every time.
The setting is absolutely beautiful — peaceful, elegant, and perfectly integrated into the Cretan landscape. The sea is crystal clear, the little beaches and swimming spots are wonderful, and the whole property has such a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. Even when the hotel is full, it never feels crowded.
One of the highlights of our stay this year was the newly renovated pool area — it is absolutely exceptional. The renovation is beautiful and has elevated the whole experience even further. The pool and its surroundings feel elegant, luxurious, and incredibly inviting, while still fitting perfectly with the natural character and style of the hotel. We absolutely loved spending time there.
What really makes Minos Beach stand out, though, is the incredible staff. Everyone is genuinely warm, kind, attentive, and welcoming. You feel that they truly care about making your stay special, and as returning guests, we were especially touched by the attention and hospitality we received.
We traveled as a family, and the hotel manages to be both sophisticated and wonderfully comfortable with children — something that is not always easy to find. The bungalows, the beautiful grounds, the sea right outside your door, the food, the exceptional new pool, and the overall atmosphere make it very difficult to leave.
There are many beautiful luxury hotels in Greece, but Minos Beach has something more — it has soul. It has become a very special place for our family, and one we already look forward to returning to again.
Thank you to the entire Minos Beach team for another unforgettable stay. ❤️
