Unforgettable stay
Pros:

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Minos Beach Art hotel and we couldn’t be happier about the whole experience.
The property is in a premium location just by the sea, surrounded by nature. The peace and tranquillity are unmatched. The views are breathtaking.
What impressed us the most was the kindness and attentiveness of the staff. Everyone is extremely kind and intentioned to make your stay unforgettable.
The food is outstanding.
The design of the rooms, restaurant and lobby is researched and beautiful.
I strongly recommend the paradise place.

Exceptional experience
Pros:

Exceptional hotel, amazing experience, and friendly, helpful staff. Overall, one of the best experiences Greece has to offer.

Cons:

The TV could have offered more options, such as Netflix or Amazon Prime. However, this was not a major issue, as the weather was great and we did not use the TV much.

The bikes were also a bit too old for comfortable rides into the city.

Pros:

Wir hatten einen rundum tollen Aufenthalt im Hotel Minos. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das außergewöhnliche Frühstücksbuffet – sehr abwechslungsreich und in einer angenehm entspannten Atmosphäre. Die direkte Lage am Meer ist unschlagbar. Die Bungalows sind schön gestaltet, der Service stets nett und zuvorkommend. Wir hatten einen Bungalow direkt am
Wasser. Ein zusätzliches Plus: das kostenlose Wasser 24/7. Insgesamt eine klare Empfehlung – wir kommen gern wieder!

Cons:

Der Tennisplatz ist grundsätzlich toll – inklusive Beleuchtung für Spiele am Abend. Allerdings ließ die Qualität der Leihschläger stark zu wünschen übrig; einige waren bereits defekt bzw. in sehr schlechtem Zustand. Eine Erneuerung bzw. regelmäßige Wartung der Ausrüstung wäre wünschenswert.
Zudem empfanden wir das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis der Speisen in den Restaurants als unausgewogen. Im Verhältnis zum aufgerufenen Preis war das Angebot nicht überzeugend.

Außergewöhnlicher Ferienort mit direktem Meerzugang in geschützter Bucht.
Pros:

Lage direkt am Meer mit gutem Zugang zum Meer und außergewöhnlicher Umgebung mit großzügiger Gartenanlage, Liegeplätzen und Aufenthaltsbereichen.
Hohe Standarts in den verschiedenen Restaurants und sehr gute Weine, auch einheimische, werden angeboten.
Aufmerksame und sehr freundliche Bedienung.

Cons:

Verschiedene Details sind uns aufgefallen: zu wenig Stauraum und Ablagen in den Studios und teilweise defekte Liegen.
