Rethymno
Centrally located in Rethymno on the northern coast of Crete, this hotel provides the ideal base for exploring the island or simply relaxing on pristine sand and pebble beaches. The hotel is only a two-minute walk from the famous Rethymno sandy beach, where visitors can swim in the crystal-clear turquoise water and enjoy a variety of water sports; and just a short walk from the town centre and its narrow streets, shops, taverns, small Venetian harbour and ancient cultural and historical sites. The hotel's guestrooms are modern and cosy with private en suite bathroom, air-conditioning, private balcony or terrace, internet access, and refrigerator, and the hotel offers an extensive list of facilities and services, including 24-hour reception, room service, and medical services. Guests can also enjoy exquisite and light Mediterranean style meals in the hotel's café, lobby bar, and open-air poolside restaurant or buffet-style restaurant.

Last minute get away
We came for a last minute holiday and Crete was recommended. We arrived late at night and the staff were really friendly and helped us with our bags to the room. The room was clean and bright, however the balcony door wouldn't lock so I had to go back to reception, they tried to fix it but didn't have the tools available, we also had to mention the broken toilet seat. We were given another room but we're unable to unpack. The next day we were called and told the room was ready so we could unpack and start our holiday. The staff are very friendly and helpful apart from the fair haired barman who unless you stand in front of him doesn't make the effort to serve you as he is too busy watching basketball on his phone. The pool area was clean and we had no issues with sunbeds or getting a table at breakfast, the food was always topped up and staff on hand to help with anything you needed extra. Minos is a stones throw from the beach and a perfect area for all the shops and restaurants. I would recommend Minos to anyone thinking of staying in Rethymon

An excellent base for all the family
We warmly recommend this hotel. In many ways it is like any other modern 4-star resort hotel on the Med, but what makes it different are the staff, and in particular the receptionists and the housekeeping team. A shoutout to Maria who serviced our room beautifully, and to Argie, Maria and Eirina on the reception team. If you ask them to help you the answer is always "yes", it seemed to us. The breakfast buffet is excellent - do ask the chef to do you an omelette - and if on half board terms the dinner buffet is more than adequate. Our room was 705, which had a shaded balcony, very welcome in 30 degree heat, and was also close to the small but cooling infinity pool looking out over the main pool area. It is very child-friendly, with a kids club, and pool for the little ones (our 3 year old granddaughter loved it). If you have a car, there is an underground garage where it can be parked for 7 euros a day, which we thought very good value. An excellent base for a holiday for all ages.

What a lovely hotel
What a lovely hotel. Good choice of breakfast options. Perfect location with the promenade and beach literally down the road. Great location for some lovely restaurants. Bus stop across the road from hotel to go to old town and further. Staff very helpful apart from some bar staff who don’t really communicate with the holiday makers and also charge €1 per glass of ice! Great entertainment team that help Timothy. All in all a beaut of a hotel! Hopefully will return x
Great family hotel
Went with family, we had an excellent time. The hotel as all of facilities that you need for a great holiday. The buffet is comprehensive and should suit everyone. All The the hotel staff are excellent, especially the receptionist's nothing was too much trouble.
Fantastic hotel, amazing staff, and memories our family will cherish forever.
We had a wonderful stay here last week and received excellent service from the entire hotel team. Everyone was friendly, professional, and welcoming.
A special thank you goes to a remarkable woman at the reception. Through her kindness, humour, and genuine interest in our 5-year-old daughter, she created daily moments of joy that became one of the highlights of our holiday.
The Entertainment Team also brought great energy and a fun atmosphere throughout our stay, which added to the overall holiday experience.
We also enjoyed the delicious and varied breakfast every morning, and the location was perfect, just a short walk from both the beach and the town.
Thank you for making our holiday so special and memorable. We highly recommend this hotel.
