Hotel Minos

This is a great Hotel in a great location, it's near to the beach, about a 5 minute walk, and to the old town is about 20 minute walk! There's a supermarket nearby if you wanted to pop and get anything for a snack or a bottle of wine for drinking on your balcony in the evening. Although sitting down at the bar was always our favourite thing to do. The staff were really friendly and always very helpful, always had a smile on their faces, especially the entertainment staff, special shout out to Timothy and his crew!! We played "water polo", which was hilarious and the team that I was on, always won, which was great and some of the other guys played darts! We booked breakfast with the booking, but you can also go "all inclusive" if you wanted to. It's buffet style eating, but that's the best thing, you can eat as much as you want and you can try a bit of everything. Every evening there was a different style buffet on, Asian, International, Greek etc. And breakfast was a buffet too. If you don't go for the "all inclusive", the evening buffet will cost you 18€, which is a real bargain. We used the spa facilities there too, and spoilt ourselves with a body scrub and massage, well worth the money, I had a lady called Tania, she was brilliant and so attentive. The atmosphere in the spa, and the rooms themselves, is very relaxing and pricewise, we couldn't complain. We went as a family, there were 10 of us and we spent most of our time chilling by the pool during the day and going into town in the evening, there you'll find plenty to do, then finishing off back at the hotel sitting out on the terrace having a few drinks before going to bed. There was also entertainment on every night, but the best was when we did an unplanned karaoke evening🤣that was hilarious. All in all the hotel is a perfect choice and well worth the money.

Our stay at Minos Hotel was a great experience. The friendliness and professionalism of the staff were truly top-notch—they made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere throughout the hotel is relaxed and enjoyable. The food was good, with a nice variety of options. The rooms are standard, clean, and comfortable. The location is also excellent, within easy reach of the beach and the center of Rethymno. Overall, it's a hotel we would definitely recommend. Great value, excellent service, and a pleasant atmosphere.

The hotel is well located, which is definitely a big plus. However, I'll start with the negatives. The food was very disappointing. Although there seemed to be a wide variety of dishes, most of them were either dried out or simply lacked flavor. It was also unreasonable to be told that we were not allowed to fill our child's water bottle with water during breakfast. Breakfast itself was actually the best meal of the day, despite being quite repetitive. There was only one elevator for the entire hotel, and it took around three minutes just to travel three floors, even without stopping. Another downside was that the elevator, hallways, and restaurant were not air-conditioned. The restaurant's air conditioning was only switched on toward the end of our stay. On the positive side, the entertainment staff member was absolutely amazing. It's rare to see someone so dedicated and enthusiastic, and I honestly don't know where he found the energy in such high temperatures. The rooms were spotless and well soundproofed. The pools were good as well, although it made little sense that to get from the small pool with the slides to the main pool, you had to walk through the hotel lobby, where the reception staff seemed to expect guests to be completely dry before passing through—which was quite unrealistic and rather absurd.

Hotel molto carino. Camere ristrutturate, Cibo discreto e internazionale, animazione leggera ogni sera e ottima distanza dal centro di retymno. Anastasia, la ragazza della reception, meriterebbe 10 stelle non soltanto 5 ! Ci ha dato molte informazioni e si è resa disponibile per ogni nostra necessità. Grazie !

Tolles Hotel mit perfekter Lage! Direkt am Strand und sehr zentral – viele Restaurants, Bars und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind bequem zu Fuß erreichbar. Der große Kinderpool ist super für Familien, zusätzlich gibt es noch einen schönen Pool für Erwachsene. Das Essen war jeden Tag abwechslungsreich und es war für jeden etwas dabei. Die Zimmer sind modern, frisch renoviert und sehr gepflegt. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das unglaublich freundliche und hilfsbereite Personal.

Fantastyczny hotel, który zdecydowanie przewyższył nasze oczekiwania! Korzystaliśmy z opcji HB (śniadania i obiadokolacje) i przez cały pobyt byliśmy bardzo zadowoleni. Pokoje były czyste, komfortowe i dobrze wyposażone, jedzenie bardzo smaczne, różnorodne i stale uzupełniane. Ogromnym zaskoczeniem na plus było to, że mimo przyjazdu już o 7:30 otrzymaliśmy pokój od razu, choć doba hotelowa rozpoczynała się dopiero po południu. Hotel oferuje kilka basenów, liczne udogodnienia, świetną obsługę oraz doskonałą lokalizację – blisko plaży, sklepów i centrum, a jednocześnie w spokojnej okolicy. Z czystym sumieniem polecamy każdemu, kto szuka komfortowego i relaksującego wypoczynku na Krecie!
