This charming hotel in Hersonissos consists of a main building with brilliantly appointed rooms and suites, specially designed family rooms and Mediterranean-style rooms scattered throughout the colorful gardens.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Excellent massage with Dina and Nardya.
Very experienced therapists and very relaxing would recommend :)
On arrival we were greeted by friendly and welcoming staff and a very much needed drink. Our room was wonderful, very clean and well equipped. The bed was so comfortable too. The location of our room was perfect for us and we were able to relax easily on our terrace. We were half board and there were lots of choices at breakfast and dinner. I thought the restaurant was very well organised and all the staff were hard working and attentive. I thought there was a lovely atmosphere about this hotel as it catered for a mix of people, young and old. It wasn’t too overwhelming either. I must mention the spa, the ladies (and the young man) were amazing. They were very competent, made you feel at ease and so friendly. I must also mention the lady that cleaned our room every day. Her name was Paola, she is worth her weight in gold. Anyway, we’ve been home for 3 days now and have already booked for next year! Cannot wait to come back. And well done to ALL the wonderful staff who work there. You are truly amazing.
Outstanding service again for the 4th time in 4 years! We love to see everyone so happy and helpful everytime we come. The staff are a real credit to this hotel from the reception team to Erol the pool guy to George on the pool bar, you guys should be really proud of yourself and for anyone who says otherwise must be miserable!
Great hotel all round can’t wait to see you guys again next year!
P.s put the prices up to stop the riff raff hotel guest and wanna be influencers!!
I had an amazing back,neck & shoulder massage by Nadya it was very relaxing and was performed perfectly.
Dionisios truly made our stay at King Minos Hotel unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, his professionalism, warmth, and genuine hospitality exceeded every expectation. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was perfect, always greeting us with a smile and making us feel like valued guests rather than just visitors.
Nothing was ever too much trouble for him. Whether it was offering excellent local recommendations, assisting with any request promptly, or simply taking the time to check that everything was to our satisfaction, Dionisios delivered exceptional service with remarkable attention to detail.
His dedication, kindness, and passion for creating memorable guest experiences are a true credit to King Minos Hotel. Staff members like Dionisios are the reason guests return year after year. We cannot thank him enough for making our holiday so special, and he is undoubtedly one of the finest hospitality professionals we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. 5 stars simply don’t seem enough he deserves every bit of recognition for the outstanding service he provides. please pass the message onto him that keenan and jess said he’s made my trip the best he deserves the credit and potential promotion ❤️
