Excellent staff, service, views, food and villa. We booked the Royal Villa and we did feel like royalty. Very relaxing and the room and buggy service was excellent. We enjoyed Chef in Villa one evening and this was outstanding.
We will be back :)

We loved our family villa! Much better than the pictures. Cozy and modern furniture. Very friendly service and wonderful restaurant.

We stayed for close to a week at this hotel and were a bit disappointed. The positive is that the service - at the reception, in the restaurant, and the cleaners - was a solid-five star. Everyone was so nice and helpful. We have zero complaints on that front. However, there were some important negatives about the hotel that will prevent us from returning. (1) The rooms are very dated. We got a two-bedroom deluxe villa with our own swimming pool, jacuzzi, and sauna. But the unit felt old; we are guessing it was built 30 or so years ago and has not been updated. The designs were old; the finishing and the furnishing were also dated. We didn't feel 'happy' returning to the unit and there was zero 'wow' factor. For the price we paid, this was quite disappointing. (2) The complex is too small. This means that the common areas were small and the facilities were very limited. There's only one small restaurant and the hilly layout makes it less relaxing to move around within the grounds of the hotel. The private beach (a 10-min drive away) is excellent, though. (3) The location of this hotel is on a steep hill. The villas are on tiers and electric buggies help transport the guests. There is no direct access to the beach. (4) Frankly, we had made a mistake booking this hotel, when we meant to book at the Elounda Beach Hotel, which is much better than the Elounda Gulf Villas, for the same price. We could see the Elounda Beach Hotel from our villa and felt envious and dumb for making the booking error. Overall, I think this hotel should be meaningfully cheaper than other five-star hotels in the area, because this hotel is not truly five-star, given how dated the villas are and how limited the facilities are. We were not upset with our stay but were not thrilled, either. For the price we paid, we had expected to be thrilled.

Absolutely 10/10
We are a couple with a baby and we stayed at villa Minos. The villa was so spacious with 3 bedrooms, massive private pool, living room and kitchen and even private sauna and gym. We also have had an amazing view from our villa.
Food: we ordered a lot of room service and as well as tried out the restaurant. The food is very good and well presented.
Location: The hotel has a free shuttle on demand to their private beach club and there’s also an option to have lunch there.
Staff: The staff were so friendly and helpful. We stayed with a baby and they’ve really helped us out and fulfilled every request. They even offered us to stay in the villa past check out time because we had a baby.
Everything was absolutely perfect. I celebrated my birthday there and it was the best place to celebrate.

We stayed here for a week and have nothing but nice things to say. The staff is very welcoming and always at your service. The food is absolutely great, Cretan products with a twist. Nice view on Elounda bay and the surroundings.
