10/10 stay!!
Definitely recommend this hotel, our room was great and we had a wonderful surprise of a bottle of sparkling wine upon arrival. Breakfast is great and the housekeeping was so good and we never had any issues. Special and warm regards to Michael at reception. Always helped us with a smile and welcomed us warmly to the hotel and explained everything for us!
A hotel we'd happily return to
We first stayed at Minos Ambassador while planning our wedding in Crete last year and loved it so much that we returned for our wedding. After two stays, we'd have no hesitation booking again.
The location is ideal, around a 15–20 minute walk to Rethymno Old Town or a quick taxi ride, with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. If you're walking, make a stop at Tipsy Flamingo for a takeaway cocktail along the way!
The welcome was lovely, with friendly staff, cold towels and refreshments at check in. Our room was modern, spacious and immaculately clean, and the bed was one of the most comfortable we've ever slept in.
Breakfast was great, with eggs cooked to order, speciality coffees and even bottles of fizz. We also loved the rooftop pool and bar, especially the sunset views. Our only minor suggestion would be to have the music a little louder around the pool.
We also recommended Minos Ambassador and its sister Minos hotel to our wedding party, and the feedback we received was amazing all round. Minos Ambassador is a fantastic choice for couples looking for a stylish, relaxing stay close to everything Rethymno has to offer.

Lovely staff and a nice cozy atmosphere
We had a fantastic stay. Nice, clean rooms with balconies with lovely sea views. The most lovely and friendly staff. 5 min walk to the beach, a nice rooftop with pool and bar and a lovely atmosphere. We can recommend it 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Very good hotel
Very good luxurious hotel. Very good food. Not very big but nice pool. Adults only so peaceful and enough sunbeds when we were there in August. Lovely spacious room, we had a junior suite. Good cleaning, very kind staff. Entertainment at night could be a bit moderner.

5/5 stars - absolutely unreal hotel!!
Wow… what an amazing week! From the minute we checked in until we left, our stay was perfect. We checked in and were given welcome drinks and a cold towel and sat in the pool area to complete our check in documents. Our room was perfect and we were given a welcome bottle of Prosecco and dried fruits on arrival. We were celebrating my boyfriend’s 30th birthday and a chocolate cake was delivered to our room one of the evenings which was such a special touch - thank you! We spent most of the week lying by the pool. It was such a relaxing environment - not too crowded, no ridiculous rushes for sunbeds in the morning and the nicest cocktails to sip on whilst we sunbathed. We had breakfast included and the food was standard for hotel buffets. Didn’t have dinner but we ate lunch a couple of days and the food was lovely. The hotel was spotlessly clean. Service was amazing. We had an issue with our safe one of the days and within minutes of phoning reception, someone came up and sorted it immediately for us. Two of the nights, we were left a lovely nighttime message with sweets on our pillow which was the cutest touch. Location was fab, about a 20 min walk to old town but there’s plenty of restaurants and bars on the way so no need to trek far for dinner if you don’t want to. We saw a review recommending pink flamingo cocktails on the walk in and we also echo this!! We spent the week well and truly looked after, relaxed and are returning home completely refreshed. Can’t recommend this hotel enough!
