Our vacation at Minos Beach was an unforgettable experience, all thanks to the exceptional staff. From the very beginning of our stay, the staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had a comfortable and enjoyable time. Their attentiveness and warm service left a lasting impression on us. The resort itself is a sight to behold, with stunning architecture and well-maintained gardens that offer breathtaking views. Our superior waterfront bungalow was a dream come true, equipped with everything we needed and kept immaculately clean with fresh towels provided daily. As vegans and vegetarians, we were pleasantly surprised by the variety of delicious food options available to us at the resort's various dining establishments. The staff were incredibly helpful in accommodating our dietary needs. Overall, our time at Minos Beach was the most beautiful vacation we've ever had. We highly recommend this resort and look forward to returning in the future.

It's worth noting that this beach is actually private, a fact that often goes unmentioned in reviews. If you're planning a visit and haven't booked an apartment or villa, gaining access may prove difficult, but the hotel staff can assist you. In terms of the beach itself, it's important to know that it's not your typical sandy stretch - only a small portion of 30-40 square meters qualifies as such. Rather, it's been transformed into more of a promenade. On the plus side, the beach provides access to the water via carefully placed metallic stairs, and you won't have to worry about getting sand all over your feet since the surface is made of shaped concrete. However, be aware that the water is quite rocky, so it's important to exercise caution to avoid injuring your feet while swimming.

The beach features a stunning location surrounded by meticulously maintained gardens. The staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. However, the cuisine was lackluster despite its attractive presentation.
