Really really good
Pros:

The property was really good. The food was actually unbelievably good. I usually don’t eat in the hotels for dinner as I like to explore but I seriously recommend spending 1 full day here. Grab breakfast, go for a massage, sit by the water & order drinks and lunch to your table, go place tennis after, have dinner in your room (steak was amazing).

I promise it will be your favourite day of your trip.

Cons:

Make sure to close your doors because some mosquitos can fly into your room

We will definetely comeback.
Pros:

The sea is wonderful, and I absolutely loved the landscaping and natural surroundings. The architecture is very calming and simple. Waking up to the sounds of birds and waves is amazing. Staff is very welcoming and helpful.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the location is beautiful. You can walk to the city center in about 20 minutes, along a lovely seaside promenade.

Cons:

The breakfast area feels rather crowded and noisy, which contrasts with the calm and tranquility of the hotel. Also, the coffee served at breakfast should definitely be better for a hotel of this standard.

Eine Oase zum entspannen mit allem Luxus.
Pros:

Es ist eine Oase, ein wunderschöner Garten, ruhig und es gibt tolle Restaurants in der Umgebung. Bequeme Betten und Liegestühle. Alles sehr stilvoll und gepflegt. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend. Ein Frühstücksbuffet das keine Wünsche offen lässt. Alles frisch und von sehr hoher Qualität. Frisch gepresster O-Saft und Kaffee oder Tee wird am Tisch serviert.

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.
