With magnificent sea views from a rocky headland above Aghios Nikolaos Bay, this adults-only resort blends together all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday.

Take time out to relax by the swimming pool or rest by the lapping waves of the hotel's private beach, where you can try various water-sports.

- smooth check-in since I did “pre-checkin” online/from the email they sent few days prior to my arrival. - Attentive, extremely friendly, very helpful and welcoming staff throughout the facility (at the reception; especially Mariana) at the bars & restaurants, the housekeepers as well) - Various fresh and tasty selection of food for breakfast. - I had a Private Dinner as a birthday surprise for my travel partner. It was an unforgettable experience of dining and cuisine with A View! (Special shout-out to Elena and team; Anton and the rest. Thank you) - It is a beautiful designed hotel but you can experience differently according to your preferences: swimming pool, private beach, beach lounge, water sport etc. I stayed at junior suite with shared pool; this is the best spot for privacy and to enjoy sunrise every morning. - Using apps and QR code makes it easier and convenient. - The room is always clean and they prep the bed for the nighttime. (A little detail makes you unique and special) - Second time visit : I truly appreciated the calmness, the mindfulness and warm Cretan hospitality. - I totally would recommend this resort and will come back again and again.

Situated just 800 metres from the centre of Agios Nikolaos, Minos Beach Art Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels offers a variety of accommodation, ranging from suites to exclusive villas. Each one is well-appointed with home comforts, including LCD TV and some feature spa baths.

The whole property is amazing, it feels like paradise. The hotel design is beautiful, nature at the heart of the experience. All these trees, plants and flowers create a unique atmosphere. And of course the sea view is just spectacular. I also loved all the food options, the kindness of the staff, their flexibility. Besides, the food is so tasty and colorful, i was never disappointed.

    The setting is beautiful. The rooms were clean and comfortable - the bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve experienced in BBC any hotel. The staff were friendly and attentive. The ability to split time between see and really cool pool was great. Overall while this wasn’t the highest luxury (we wouldn’t have wanted that) it was luxurious and special.

    A totally amazing and fantastic hotel, the staff were amazing, the food was delicious, the location was breathtaking, and the services and facilities were everything you would expect from a 5 star hotel. We had a waterfall suite, arrived on Saturday and didn't leave the room until Wednesday - because we were just enjoying the private pool, the room service food was delicious, and housekeeping catered to our lazy few days.

    Location fantastic. Myself and my partner travelled over from Chania by rented car for two night all inclusive. Overall, i would say it's a very solid 4-star hotel. To be a 5, it must be exceptional. The drink quality is poor at best. I understand all all-inclusive might not use the best alcohol but this was cheap stuff. 5 stars, it should be top-level alcohol. The food was decent nothing i havent got in a 4 star hotel. The facilities are great and location fantastic.

    Superb location. Stunning sea view with the mountains beyond. Steps away from a beautiful, sandy beach. Many good restaurants in the vicinity. The apartment is beautifully furnished, and equipped to a very high standard. Everything you needed in a kitchen was there. Luxurious bathroom with walk-in shower. All was spotlessly clean. Yiannis, the host, could not have been kinder or more helpful. All in all, a perfect holiday.

    Very high level of customer service. Always smiling and friendly staff. We had a small issue with the battery of our rental car and they even sorted this out efficiently ! Furthermore a real "boutique hotel" experience, small but cosy. Great breakfast buffet at acceptable prices. Good luck to all those people staying in those bland "5 star resorts" with no personality : Lazar Lux is the real place to be ... We loved it !
