KING MINOS RETREAT RESORT & SPA

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 ❤️

I had an amazing back,neck & shoulder massage by Nadya it was very relaxing and was performed perfectly.

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!!

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.

Excellent massage with Dina and Nardya. Very experienced therapists and very relaxing would recommend :)

Beautiful hotel, spa is relaxing and everyone is so friendly and accommodating

When we arrived we got a welcome drink and taken to our room very lovely service and a lovely man was left cold sandwiches and pasta as we arrived late, we booked a jacuzzi room which we wished we got a pool as didn’t get much use out of it was cleaned every day, we was given a sea view by surprise and it was stunning, sunbed situation first 3 days I got one after 8 then new people came and couldn’t get one after 7 so had to get up at 6:30 so we ended up just going to the beach and paying there, there is a lot of sunbeds dotted around the hotel so always somewhere to sit. The cleaners did a great job tidying and cleaning room leaving a bottle of water everyday and staff were amazing other than the man who was rude to us in the evening because he couldn’t find our number table (his fault) but took it out on us and slammed the drinks down. The hotel was mainly young couples which I didn’t expect there was lots of them swearing and shouting on the first night one couple had a speaker and we had to listen to them talking on voice chats and their music which is not what you wanna hear especially being a 5 star but that’s not the hotels fault. I think the entertainment could be a little better as it was just background instruments really nothing entertaining was in bed by 10. Breakfast was standard the pancakes were amazing and hash browns free coffee iced coffee served with it which shocked me but we ate out dinner and in the evening we tried pool snacks which was lovely and fresh. I don’t think I got enough use out the hotel for the price as we kept going star beach club but I would return for the beautiful views from the hotel, also didn’t realise it was up a hill wich was a bit of a pain when it was red hot. Had a massage which was very lovely but could have lasted longer for price but I enjoyed it. The harbour and strip isn’t as far as people make out we didn’t even realise how far we walked got to the harbour in less than 30 mins. Really recommend a place to eat called fresh on the way to the harbour we ate there everyday and the price was good and staff were amazing. The area didn’t have loads to do so 9 nights was enough for us but hope to return one year

Brilliant hotel , Friendly and clean . Staff are exceptional. Bar staff especially so , big thanks to George on the day team and Dionosis on the evening team. They went above on beyond to make our stay special. Restaurant staff also wonderful . Food was the best . The staff are all a true asset to this lovely hotel . On the negative side ,this is not the right place for people with walking difficulties as its built on a steep hillside . Walk to the beach bit of a challenge. Otherwise we loved it ! Thank you 😊

Spa was great with nadiya made me feel very comfortable

Me and my boyfriend had a trip to the wellness spa whilst visiting, overall was a lovely experience. Very relaxing environment and made me feel so refreshed. My therapist Aggeliki worked wonders and was so professional and kind. I would definitely come back.

Dina was amazing and very thorough with my full body massage. i have never felt so relaxed and i have had many massages before. i had what can only be described as a stress hump at the top of my back for years, due to my work, but in the 45 minute experience that has now gone and so have any stress related aches and pains

Perfect atmosphere, very professional and relaxed, perfect value for money. Amazing cleanliness and service. Will be returning again!
