We've been to the Minos Palace 4 times now and each time it doesn't disappoint. The location is superb, sited on a peninsula and with its own beach and lovely grounds. The food is buffet and there is plenty of choice, perhaps the buffet is smaller than it used to be but we have no complaints about the quality and... More

Wonderful location for chilling out. Until late morning every day you are abruptly woken from you peace and quiet by the thumping music of some crude rock star whilst 4 ladies splash about in the pool. When you ask if it can be turned down slightly you are rudely told it's set at that volume,. Not easy to walk out... More

From the moment you leave the road alongside the small inlet harbour and climb past the original 9th Century church of Agios Nikolaos and into the grounds of the hotel you get the feeling that you are arriving somewhere special. As the porter arrives to take you and your luggage up the steps to the sumptuous reception area you are... More
