We had a rather difficult year: I have a job change, my beloved has an operation and a job change. And so, we decided to arrange a real vacation for ourselves! The agency offered us the Minos Palace hotel. There was no time to think and we agreed. Until the moment we entered the hotel, I was very worried. But, as soon as we were settled (within 5 minutes), and we crossed the threshold of our room, everything fell into place! Because we checked in at 21:35, and dinner ends at 21:30, we were served light snacks in the room (cheese, ham, vegetables, fruits) and a bottle of wine - we were pleasantly surprised and realized that the vacation had begun! During all 12 days, there was practically not a single day in the hotel that we were dissatisfied with something: cleaning, changing towels, ironing things - everything was fast, high quality and not noticeable to us. On the beach you can see 10-12 umbrellas, which may give you an idea: at what time is it necessary to take a place under an umbrella....I answer - no need! You can come at 9:00 or at 10:00 or at 11:00 - and there is almost always a place!
The food deserves a special item. For all 12 evenings, there was not a single evening with a repetition of the menu: Peking duck, lamb, pork on a spit, seafood....and much, much more, which made us very happy! Everything was superbly prepared! The staff in the restaurant is not Russian-speaking (during this period there were very few Russian 3-4 families), but all the staff are positively disposed towards all vacationers (Germans, French, English, Russians). On the day of departure, we were again pleased. Everyone knows that the check-out time is 12:00, and the check-out from the hotel is at 18:00 (because the departure is at 22:30), we were allowed to stay in the room until 18:00 at no extra charge.
All the days that we spent in Minos Palace were just our dream: calm, measured, without fuss, without nerves and with good service.

Evenings were very romantic - with live music and a glass of good wine or cognac.
As it turned out, we just dreamed of such a vacation. I really liked the location of the hotel - not far from the city, but not near the road. The view, both on the hotel and from the hotel, on the sea, mountains and the city is magnificent! The city is 7 minutes by car, of course you can walk for 20-25 minutes, but... we used a taxi (fixed price 6 euros).
If you want to retire or just relax with your soulmate, or take a friend / girlfriend and arrange a vacation - for YOURSELF - I can recommend Minos Palace.
PS. before the trip to the hotel, as an experienced user, I read that the rooms do not have one large bed, but two, which are not very comfortable... so, when we checked in, I asked for a room with one large bed, but they do not such numbers. But we were offered a mattress, which is placed on top of two beds. This is how the issue was resolved.
