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.

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

A pleasant place to be
My wife and I have had a great time at this hotel, its a really good location with the beach and promenade only a short walk away.
The food has been good too, with lots of fresh salads and fruits to go along with the meat and fish, im particular, a special BBQ night was held out by the pool which was a real treat and we left absolutely stuffed!
The Hotel was clean and the staff friendly - we would certainly come back!
Best, Dan & Charlotte

Overall Nice trip
The location was not far from the beach which was lovely. The hotel is not the easiest for a coach to park out front which meant we got dropped off on the side of a busy road.
The reception staff were welcoming however did not give us a lot of information about our stay.
The room was clean but small and unfortunately had a slight smell of sewage.
The cleaning staff were extremely friendly and looked after the room beautifully.
We chose half board but the food was like warm and lacked variety.
The half board only includes evening meal and no drinks not even soft drinks or water which we found disappointing that not a single drink was included. The food once again was not very warm and lacked variety. The staff in the restaurant were not that friendly unfortunately.
Overall the stay was alright.

Thank you for a very pleasant experience
We spent 12 nights in Rethymno at the beginning of August, 2026, myself and my son. The location of the hotel is perfect for those looking for a balanced, quiet place - not too close - not too far from the crowded city center. The beach is just a 2 minutes walk away and very nice restaurants are available on the promenade, out of which I would like to mention Lissus Restaurant and Nostos Restaurant The room was located in a secondary, new building belonging to the hotel. Perfect size, with nice luggage storage space, which allowed us to keep the room free of our suitcases, large balcony equipped with quick clothes/ towels drying facilities, also with a small but welcome kitchenette. The cleaning staff is amazing! Always supportive and providing correct service. The hotel is offering nice facilities - large pool and smaller pool for children, various games etc. Rich breakfast - wide array of choices. Last but not least - our gratitude to the Reception ladies, for their warm welcome, very kind assistance and support with our small requests! Looking forward to seeing them again soon! :)
