Minos Palace Resort - Adults Only 5 stars

Agios Nikolaos

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. The staff at Minos Palace work exceptionally hard to provide a five star experience as soon as you drive into the property. This property exceeded our expectations from the service, the size of the property through to the facilities and cleanliness of all areas. The accommodation was so warm and welcoming we didn't want to explore anywhere else. I hope to return to Minos Palace one day.
