Nice big rooms with a balcony. Great kids pool. Exceptional breakfast even with a cook preparing omelets according your wishes.

Andrej Germany

Location (few meters from the beach and 20 min from the centre), cleanliness, quality of the facilities (the family rooms building seems new), nice and friendly stuff

Daniele Finland

Very pleasant and helpful staff. Not far from city center - we were walking by foot. In short distance from the beach. Place for car parking. Spacefull room (we booked a studio). We found in the room a small bottle of wine, fruit, left as a greeting gift from a hotel which was very kind from their side. Also we got souveneir oil bottles before leaving. We have very kind memories about this hotel hospitality.

I booked to stay at Minos Hotel, but was upgraded to their partner hotel next door, Minos Ambassador Hotel & Spa. It was an adults only 5 star hotel and I got a suite. It was amazing, so comfortable, large, great facilities. The food options were great. Fantastic breakfast, very friendly staff. The pool was great as well, not too busy and plenty of sun loungers. Very close to the beach and a supermarket as well.

Stefania United Kingdom

Very convenient location right near the beach promenade, surrounded by shops/supermarkets/restaurants etc. Bus stop to historic town centre outside hotel if you don’t want to walk (too far for young children). Very clean property, nice children‘s pool and main pool.

Annemarie Germany

..Really enjoyed the Hotel, the staff were Professional and pleasant. The small gentleman waiter in the dining room was a joy to behold Vassill??? I think (speedy Gonzales) ,you know who you are,.....a top class waiter, did twice as much work as anybody else....and such fun, always sharp, ready to help with a smile on his face. SPEEDY TAKE A BOW👍 Also Vaso at the bar was excellent, friendly, and top class person also All in all nice Hotel, food was good, value for money and I certainly would recommend.

Michael Ireland

The pool and dinner were perfect but most of all were all the staff who could not do enough for you. Just ask and it was done.

Simon United Kingdom

Excellent customer service, in particularly Constantina (Customer Relation Manager) and Yanis. Friendly family run hotel despite its size. Breakfast was good with wide variety of choice. We were even treated to a gift on Greek Easter Sunday. Hotel is about 25 minutes walk to the old town, and plenty of safe public parking nearby.

Kang United Kingdom
