Pros:

Incroyable vue, transat idéalement placés. L’hôtel est magnifique. Petit déjeuner incroyable. Chambres confortables et impeccables.

Cons:

Rien à déclarer, hormis la guerre des transats avec des touristes qui viennent à 7/8 h poser leur serviette sur les meilleurs transats puis disparaissent jusqu’à 11h. C’est vraiment insupportable.

un hôtel incroyable, qui donne envie d'y retourner

Le fait que personne ne parle français à l'exception de la jeune fille à l'accueil du Spa

A beautiful, thoughtfully designed hotel with attentive service, wonderful spa treatments, and memorable experiences tha
Pros:

Our stay at Minos Palace was perfect in every way. The hotel is beautiful, with thoughtful design and attention to detail throughout. The service was attentive and thoughtful while still allowing us to enjoy our privacy and make the most of every moment. The spa treatments were wonderful and added another layer of relaxation to our stay. We also loved the ceramic workshop, which was such a lovely and memorable experience. Everything came together to make our stay truly special.

Cons:

If we had to nitpick, we felt the wine tasting was a little underwhelming for the price. We would have hoped for a better selection of wines to make the experience feel more worthwhile.

Pros:

Wir waren schon zum dritten mal da. Und gefällt so ziemlich alles.

Cons:

Die Preise für Massagen sind deutlich teurer geworden mit dem neuen Konzept. Hatte mich eigentlich auf ein paar Massagen gefreut, es dann aber deswegen sein gelassen.

Nice location and premises but not worth the money
Pros:

The beach was very good and the resort was very attractive

Cons:

The prices for food and drinks were very high. Some staff were lovely but some were very surly. The swimming pools were very very cold.

Ihana rentoutumislomapaikka
Pros:

Hieno paikka. Hyvä ruoka (aamiainen, lounas ja Amar-ravintolan illallinen). Hienot näköalat.

Cons:

Kylän keskustaan pitkähkö matka. Tosin sujui erittäin joustavasti taksilla. Taksi oli helppo saada molempiin suuntiin.

Heerlijk hotel met prachtig uitzicht.
Pros:

Het uitzicht, de uitgebreide fitness (met 2 top reformers!), het dorpje met veel heerlijke restaurants op loopafstand.

Cons:

Het zwembad was echt te koud om in te zwemmen. De Spa is erg kostbaar.
