King Minos is a beautiful resort. We have just returned from our 2nd visit in 12 months and it is our favourite place to spend our holidays. The resort is stunning and the perfect place to have a relaxing holiday but close enough to the town to explore if you feel the need to. However, for us the staff at King Minos are what makes it exceptional. Nothing is ever too much, they make you feel so welcome and have always taken such good care of us, going above and beyond what would ever be expected of them. They are what makes this resort 5 stars and makes us want to keep going back.

We had a really enjoyable week at this hotel. The rooms and facilities were very clean, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The all-inclusive option was great value, and overall we had a relaxing and positive experience. The only small downside was that the buffet options for breakfast, lunch and dinner became a little repetitive over the week, although the food itself was of good quality and nicely presented. Overall, we would definitely recommend this hotel.

Salle de sport petite donc rapidement occupée. Les chambres à proximité des locaux pour le personnel de ménage peuvent se révéler un peu bruyantes tôt le matin…

Room was lovely and tastefully decorated. There was however an awful drainage smell as you entered the room. This was raised with the hotel who seemed to just mask it with an air freshener. The hot tub was huge but uncomfortable as didn't have usual moulded seats in it and few bubbles. It was also quite dirty and the wood around it warped and worn so in need of some renovation. Food was delicious, staff ok although not as attentive as other hotels we've stayed at so was waiting a while to order drinks as couldn't help yourself despite all inclusive. Pool area was lovely although usual people reserving beds for hours these should be removed if no return after an hour). Short walk to beach and yes you do need to duck your head to walk under road to access it but not bad. Husband is 5'9" and this wasn't a problem. Despite some issues we enjoyed our stay and found it very relaxing which is what we wanted.

Tout était parfait Buffet, serveurs, personnel, propreté et entretien de l’hôtel Juste seul bémol le ménage en chambre Notre terasse avec piscine n’a jamais été nettoyé La piscine est bien lavé tous les matins Mais le ménage en chambre est inexistant La table non plus n’a jamais été nettoyé c’est dommage Le reste tout était incroyable je recommande

Wir hatten zuerst einen Zimmer was den ganzen Tag schattig war (nicht optimal für Zimmer mit eigenem Pool). Nach Rücksprache mit der Rezeption wurde uns netterweise ein anderes Zimmer angeboten, was wir akzeptiert haben. Ansonsten gut zum Erholen. Anlage sehr sauber und Essen war gut (vor allem Desserts) aber etwas wenig Auswahl insgesamt. In allem zu empfehlen. Punktabzug weil es keinen Privatstrand gibt, die Umgebung / Standort der Anlage nicht optimal ist und es viele Ameisen auf der Terrasse gibt.

My room was smaller than the pictures on Expedia but fine for just me but would have been small if i was with another person. Cleaned daily and the facilities were good. The shower was lovely and the bed was comfortable. It would have been nice to have a bath and a larger room despite being a solo traveller. I saw the hotel was largely empty, i think they could have accomodated a free upgrade considering the rooms i saw empty on my floor and others. Staff were hit and miss. Pool staff were a tad dismissive of me (which i had to raise, only to be told they had problems with solo female travellers in the past) but restaurant staff, reception were very accommodating and pleasant. Lack of food choices (apparently this was down to it being end of season) A La Carte wasnt great. Drinks were nice but no afternoon snack bar food (only rolls and yogurts from a fridge outside. This is more a 4 star at a push, if i had to go again, i would book room only and eat out. The pool was freezing, i didnt go in once in 7 days and only used the indoor one. Spa was incredible and worth every penny. All in all i think i could have had a better stay elsewhere for hwat i spent i expected better and was disaapointed but loved Crete on the whole.

We stayed for 5 nights in July in a double room with private hot tub sea view. To start with the pro’s - the aesthetics and views of the hotel is amazing. The rooms are fantastic, the balcony and the hot tub itself is a very decent size. Purely on aesthetics, you can’t fault the hotel at all. However that seems to be the only selling point. The food and drinks were awful and really let the hotel down. The drinks were very inconsistent - in the dinner buffet you could have cocktails on the all inclusive, and these were often decent. However when you go to the pool bar for drinks after dinner, they were awful. The service is slow, they appear very understaffed. They seemed to be big on table service but would never come over. Wouldn’t mind going to the bar to grab the drink myself - but when you do they then tell you to sit down and they’ll bring it over, adding to the wait. Buffet food was quite limited and was awful. Nice view whilst eating. Basic bits were okay. We booked the A La Carte restaurant for our final night and was looking forward to not having the buffet food again, however after visiting the A La Carte we wish we had the buffet. The A La Carte was worse. Very limited choice, tiny portions, taste wise very basic/not nice at all. We aren’t fussy eaters yet we were very dissapointed and still hungry after. A lot of the food is frozen and just reheated - it states this on their menu, so the majority aren’t even cooked fresh - not good for an A La Carte treat?!

The hotel itself is modern and clean, and the overall vibe is more for younger guests, mostly in their 20s and 30s. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t meet expectations for a supposed 5-star stay. The All-Inclusive package was quite limited — after midnight, nothing was included, and even during the day, only one drink per person was allowed per visit to the bar, which felt restrictive. On top of that, several basic cocktails weren’t included, despite being made with the same ingredients as the ones that were. The food also wasn’t up to the standard you'd expect from a 5-star hotel — both in terms of variety and quality. We also weren’t able to book the à la carte restaurant, even though it was visibly empty when we asked. Staff were okay, but the overall service and offering didn’t justify the price or the rating.
