We had a decent stay at the King Minos Hotel, enjoying the lovely spa and comfortable common areas. However, the dining options became repetitive, and we faced a few service hiccups during our visit. Ultimately, while it was a pleasant experience, the hotel's location doesn't quite match our preferences, and we likely wouldn't return.

Our initial room was disappointing, feeling cramped and outdated. However, after asking for a change, we were upgraded to a nicer sea view room which improved our experience significantly.

The reception service varied—some staff were friendly while others were less accommodating. It was frustrating at first, but ultimately, we received the help we needed.

The hotel is situated quite far from the main attractions, requiring a 20-minute walk to reach restaurants and shops. It's very touristy, which wasn’t really to our liking.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel, especially for a romantic getaway. The beautiful setting and luxurious feel added to the experience, coupled with a very relaxing pool atmosphere. While the food options at the buffet were surprisingly limited, the quality was excellent, which more than made up for it. However, it's definitely not a place for families, as there's not much for kids to do.

During my stay at this hotel, I enjoyed the incredible spa services and the attentive staff who really made my experience memorable. The rooms were tidy and had lovely views, but I felt the food options could be more varied, as they tended to repeat often. The location was quite nice, being just a short walk away from local amenities, but the road leading to the beach was a bit difficult to navigate and costly. Overall, it's a good value stay if you're looking for relaxation.
