Minos Imperial Luxury Beach Resort and Spa

"just came back from a week at this beautiful resort, and honestly, I already miss it. The place is like a dream – surrounded by the sea, flowers everywhere, and views that make you stop and just stare for a while. It feels calm and peaceful, but also very alive. The food was one of the best parts of the trip. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. You could tell the ingredients were good quality – especially the grilled fish and the desserts (I still think about that lemon pie!). Breakfast had so many options that I didn’t even manage to try everything. The bar was another highlight. Marina, the bar manager, is simply amazing. She has such a warm personality, always smiling, and she makes incredible cocktails. You can tell she loves her job – she even remembered my favorite drink after the first night. Every evening there felt special because of her and the team. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was that the weather turned cloudy a few days in October, but that’s not the hotel’s fault, of course. I actually enjoyed the sound of the rain one evening, sitting at the bar with a cocktail in hand. Everything else was absolutely wonderful. I left feeling relaxed, happy, and already planning to come back next year. Highly recommend it to anyone who needs a real break from the world. 🌺🍸"

"I’ve been to many places, but this resort honestly took me by surprise. The view is something you can’t describe with words – sea, mountains, the smell of jasmine everywhere. Just wow. The food… I still think about it! Every meal felt like someone had cooked it with care. Breakfast was my favorite – fresh bread, fruit, eggs made the way you like, and that local honey… unbelievable. Lunch was colorful and full of flavors, and dinner – oh, dinner was a real experience. Beautifully served dishes, everything fresh, everything tasty. You could tell the chefs really know what they’re doing. And then there’s the bar. I don’t usually mention names, but Marina, the bar manager, really deserves it. She’s one of those people who make a place special. Friendly, elegant, and she makes the best cocktails I’ve had in Greece (maybe anywhere). You can tell she loves what she does – every drink looks like art. One night I had a “Marina’s Special” cocktail and just sat there looking at the sunset… one of those small perfect moments you don’t forget. If I had to say something not perfect, maybe the buffet got a bit slow during the busiest hours, but that’s really minor. Everything else was just wonderful. I’m already thinking of coming back next year. There’s something peaceful about this place – it stays with you."

"> We stayed at the resort for a week in October and absolutely loved the atmosphere. The view over the sea is simply breathtaking — especially at sunset! The cocktails at the bar were the highlight of our evenings; Marina, the bar manager, made every drink look and taste like a work of art. She’s warm, elegant, and remembers exactly what everyone likes. The food was excellent too, with lots of fresh local options and great presentation. The only downside was that the weather wasn’t ideal in mid-October — a few cloudy days, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the place. We’ll definitely come back, hopefully under the sun next time! 🌅🍸"
