Many Hotels claim to be 4 star and "on the beach" but this one really is, the beach is sandy but there is a lot of pebbles at the waters edge and a steep slope and a few rocks in the shallows, Rock shoes are a good idea. They have a board walk down to the parasols and sunbeds by... More

I stayed at the Minos Mare last year. It is a wonderful place for families. The breakfast is included with a variety of goodies to eat. The pool is large with a DJ and water aerobics. The bar is next to the pool. In fact, you can sit in the pool and have your drink too! The beach restaurant has... More

We stayed in the new part of Minos mare beach resort, the Minos Mare Royal. It's exists from 2008, so its very new. This hotel is a part from the Minos Mare resort, but it's a 5 start hotel not a 4 star hotel. And it's worth it! We stayed a several places in Greece and this is the first... More

The hotel was a great disappointment for. The room was very very very old, especially the bathroom was a nightmare. Dirty bath curtain, dark toilet, faucets full of salts and clogged siphons both in the sink and the bathtub. We changed 2 different rooms and our friends another 2, there were all the same. We asked for a 2 baby... More

We believe that the specific hotel was perfect in terms of value for money choice. People working there were very helpful and this is a general approach of the people in Crete. Management should do something with the Air Condition. We were lucky enough to have strong winds from north almost during the whole stay and this helped us in... More

We booked our holiday through Olympic Travel and flew with Monarch airlines who as usual were great. Heraklion Airport was as expected ,small,crowded and unable to deal with the volume of passengers travelling. The transfer took one and a half hours, along a beautiful winding coastal road, including 6 stops en route. Halfway to our hotel the Olympic rep left... More

We recently stayed at this hotel for one night on our driving tour of Crete. Once we found the hotel (make sure you clearly establish where it is before you head out - very tough to find!), we were delighted to see the pool & beach. The staff was friendly and helpful, and our room was clean, although quite plain.... More
