This is the second time we have been to this hotel and it still has the some relaxed but professional atmosphere. The staff seem very comfortable in their jobs in a good way and this makes for a very enjoyable holiday

The best detox/fitness break I have had. Hotel and staff all amazing.

To be honest when we first arrived I wasn’t sure of the place as we’d been at a retreat the week before away from civilisation but wow we were soon over any misgivings. The treatments and more importantly the staff were amazing - Thomas insured every request was fulfilled and he went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The two of who were travelling together both agreed that we had the best facial ever (and we’ve had a lot of facials between us). Food very good though we went out every evening for dinner as there were so many excellent seafood restaurants to choose from. The bed’s were comfortable and the room was pretty.

Great place, lovely staff, very professional.

Returning to Euphoria Retreat in Greece has been such a beautiful and deeply meaningful experience. Having visited before, I wondered whether it could possibly feel as special the second time around, but somehow it has offered me something completely different. There is something about Euphoria that goes far beyond a retreat. The beautiful surroundings, the beauty, magic and stillness of the landscape and the incredible attention to wellbeing create an environment where you can genuinely slow down, listen inward and reconnect with yourself. I also want to give a very special mention to Chrissy and the treatment I experienced with her. Something shifted during that treatment that I genuinely didn’t know was possible. It allowed me to release something I had been carrying without even fully realising it was there. The experience has been incredibly beautiful and, in many ways, life-changing. What I love about Euphoria is that the experiences go so far beyond the treatments themselves. There is a depth to the work that invites you to explore, release, restore and reconnect, and the setting provides the most beautiful backdrop for that journey. I leave feeling different from when I arrived, and that is something truly special. I am deeply grateful to the whole Euphoria team for creating a space where such profound experiences can happen.

My experience at Fivelements was truly extraordinary, it’s a very special place. The combination of the beautiful setting, exceptional treatments and, most importantly, the people makes it an experience I will never forget. From the moment I arrived, the level of care, attention and genuine warmth from the entire team was exceptional. Every detail feels considered, and every treatment goes far beyond what you expect, the healing was deep and profound, it was exactly what I needed, and so much more. What made my experience at Fivelements so exceptional was the depth and intention behind every treatment. Every practitioner I experienced was incredibly intuitive, present and deeply connected to the healing work they were offering. There was something very special about the fact that everything is rooted in genuine lineage and tradition. The practitioners listen with their whole presence. Every treatment felt different, yet each one created a profound sense of connection, release and deep healing. There was a real depth to the work, and I felt genuinely held throughout every experience. It was the kind of healing that continues to unfold long after the treatment itself has finished. Huge gratitude to the Fivelements team for taking such wonderful care of me. I am incredibly grateful and already looking forward to returning 🤎

Amazing. High standard, very professional. Nearly everyone I spoke to had been before , some coming twice a year for many years.

Gorgeous hotel, highly recommend. We were in a sea view & it was worth every penny. Breakfast is small but with everything you need & an amazing view. We booked with wellness escapes so had a spa package pre-booked, every treatment we had (there were 4 of us) was wonderful so all therapists are as good as each other. Definitely treat yourself, you’ll float out of the spa

Absolutely loved it Best holiday I’ve ever had A great balance between fitness and relaxation Programming was amazing

This place is absolute heaven. There is everything here that you need to work on your health. Beautiful facilities and exceptional medical doctors and very holistic spa therapists. I honestly cannot fault it and have now been three times and never have had reason to complain. The surroundings are beautiful and I spent many evenings watching the sun set from my balcony. I have left feeling fully relaxed and totally recharged. The area seems to have a healing energy. After decades of insomnia, I have finally been able to sleep before midnight.

I’ve just returned from the most wonderful stay at Minos Palace in Crete, and I genuinely cannot speak highly enough of the hotel and, most importantly, the incredible team who work there. This was a particularly meaningful holiday for me — my first much-needed break after undergoing several surgeries. I arrived still feeling quite vulnerable, so finding somewhere I could feel safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for was incredibly important to me. From the moment I arrived, the entire team made me feel completely at ease. There was such genuine warmth, kindness and attentiveness throughout my stay that I never felt like I was simply another hotel guest — I felt truly looked after. The service was exceptional across every part of the hotel. From the warm welcome at reception and the wonderfully attentive restaurant team, to the poolside staff who made it so easy to simply relax and switch off, nothing ever felt like too much trouble. The spa was another highlight. Everyone was incredibly helpful and welcoming, and my massage was absolutely incredible — genuinely one of the best treatments I have experienced and exactly what I needed. The housekeeping team also deserve a special mention for being so friendly, thoughtful and helpful throughout my stay. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a stunning setting and everything you would expect from a luxury property, but what really sets Minos Palace apart is its people. There is a genuine warmth and humanity to the service that you don’t always find, even in luxury hotels. After everything I had been through, this holiday was about much more than simply getting away. I needed somewhere I could rest, recover, feel safe and begin to feel like myself again — and Minos Palace gave me exactly that. I left feeling rested, restored and incredibly grateful, with some very special memories. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Minos Palace team for taking such wonderful care of me and making an important holiday so special. I will absolutely be returning and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this beautiful hotel.

As a first time solo lady traveller, I felt instantly comfortable and content at Siddhalepa and the staff there were amazing, so kind and caring. I had the best room on the property (506) and really enjoyed the peace to sit near the beach between treatments. I would wholeheartedly recommend Wellness Escapes for booking and Siddhalepa if you are looking for authentic ayurvedic treatment - very prescriptive but very healing.

Amazing place .. Wellness at its best ❤️ Experts and just absolutely amazing place ...

Lovely hotel and spa but there are some small design issues where form has precedence over substance. When the balcony / patio doors are open the AC cuts out but the doors cannot be closed from the outside so if one person is outside the parties inside have to go without AC. Twin beds were simply separate bedding and no distance. Fitness Classes were held in an outside covered hut which was way too hot. The spa and treatments were wonderful. The food was delicious and of a high quality but surprisingly the labelling for desserts did not differentiate the vegetarian ones. And the staff were very friendly and efficient.
