Excellent location - 5 mins walk to a clean sandy beach and a pleasant 30 mins walk into town. Unfortunately my husband... More

We had a brilliant two week stay at the Minos, and felt we were made welcome at all times. I could recommend it for the friendliness of all the staff; to the dinner staff who added to my limited Greek vocabulary and the willingness of reception to resolve any problem. The selection and variety of the food at the buffet... More

Having stayed at this hotel before we had high expectations and we were not dissapointed. Still the friendlyist hotel on the island of Crete. Every body from the cleaners right up to the owners greet you with a friendly smile every day. For a care free holiday book with the MINOS Hotel. Thanks to all Ian and Rosalyn

Little hotel about 20mIns from the beautiful old town. They employ the hardest working staff in Crete. Hotel immaculate, room very comfortable, food stunning with so many choices of lovely things to pick. Especially the salads and Crete specials. Rethymnon is a lovely town with so many great places and things to see

This time we noticed that a lot of the staff we have come to know have been replaced by students from abroad mainly waiting on in the restaurant. Unfortunately these kids are doing this as a... More
