The resort is located by the sea, close to a small, rocky inlet of sand. It is just 1 km from Agios Nikolaos, the centre of Cretan culture. Guests can explore the lovely nature around the Agios Nikolaos Lake, which is only 15 minutes away. Furthermore, the beautiful Vai palm forest is 95 km away. Heraklion Airport is about 64 km from the resort. This deluxe waterfront hotel is an excellent 129-room establishment, set in a tranquil, colourful location surrounded by flower-filled gardens. There is a well-equipped conference room with wireless Internet access point for business travellers, whilst leisure guests are provided with a games room, TV lounge and a variety of services. Guests can wine and dine in the bar and restaurant or give themselves over to relaxation at the SPA. An outdoor pool and various land and water sports are available for active recreation.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
We had a lovely stay at this amazing art hotel. The bungalow situated at the waters edge was beautifully decorated with a relaxing and homely feel. We visited all the restaurants and both the service and the food was otherwordly. The knowledge about food and wine was exceptional and I was recomeneded potentially the best wine I ever had in my life there. It is a beautfil spot for a calm and relaxing getaway and even thoe it was fully booked it felt calm, relaxing and not crowded.
Stunning property and the best kind of quiet luxury. Amazng location on crystal clear waters. Impeccably clean and minimal stylish rooms. Most importantliy, most gracious staff ever. People truly make this place memorable.
We celebrated our wedding at the Minos Beach Art Hotel, and we couldn’t have made a better choice. The experience was perfect and began many months before our stay. The hotel’s guest relations manager, Helena, helped us organize an intimate wedding from distance with dedication and total availability, which made the whole experience feel like family and provided care before, during, and after our stay that exceeded our best expectations. On top of that, we received an incredible room upgrade for us, the bride and groom. We brought our family with us, and everyone was impressed by the service, the amenities, and the attention to detail. The hotel is spectacular, the staff is incredible, the food is delicious and beautifully presented, the water is crystal clear, and the scenery is magical. We will definitely return to relive these unforgettable days spent in Agios Nikolaos.
The grounds are outstanding, absolutely stunning. The food is outstanding. The staff is attentive. However, the rooms we stayed in, beach side bungalows, were substandard. The poor room design and lack of amenities hampered our experience. My chief complaints are the following:
Cement floors-no padded rugs; Unable to open suitcase because built in space for luggage only allows for carryon size; Very little vanity space in the bathroom because an oversized sink takes all usable counter-space. All bathroom items have to be stored on shelving in luggage area; Towels are in sink area while shower is in the back of the bathroom; No seating to entertain or play cards in the small living area; Air conditioning is less than adequate; Toilet paper is awful; and No Comcast available.
Absolutely incredible room with the most breathtaking view. Everything was beautifully designed, elegant and so thoughtfully prepared. The lovely welcome and the upgrade made the experience even more special. Truly unforgettable — thank you for making our stay so amazing!
