⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ a fantastic family holiday at king minos
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fantastic family holiday at King Minos
We’ve just returned from a wonderful stay at King Minos, and we honestly couldn’t fault it. We travelled with our 18-month-old little boy, so finding a hotel that worked well for both us and our baby was really important — and King Minos exceeded our expectations.
One of the highlights for our little boy was the baby room. It was always spotlessly clean and had so much available to keep him entertained. It was such a lovely facility and gave us peace of mind knowing he had a safe, fun space to play.
We stayed in a shared swim-up room, which was absolutely perfect for us as a family. It meant we could enjoy the pool while our little boy was awake, but when he needed a nap, we could simply take him back into our air-conditioned room without having to completely leave the pool area. It made such a difference to our days and gave us the perfect balance between enjoying our holiday and sticking to his routine.
We were initially a little concerned that there was only one main restaurant, as we usually like having a variety of cuisines to choose from. However, the food genuinely did not disappoint. Both the à la carte restaurant and buffet restaurant offered beautiful food with plenty of choice, and there was always something for everyone.
But for us, the staff were what truly made this hotel special. Every member of staff we encountered went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The bar staff in particular were brilliant in the evenings, with one gentleman standing out for us who absolutely couldn’t do enough for us and our little boy. His kindness and attention really made us feel welcome.
Another special mention has to go to the blonde-haired manageress. We had a very late flight home, and although the all-inclusive benefits officially ended at 3pm, she went completely out of her way to make sure we were still able to have an evening meal and drinks in the buffet restaurant. She also formed such a lovely bond with our little boy, and her kindness went a very long way with us.
Your staff really are a credit to the hotel. ❤️
King Minos gave us exactly what we needed from a family holiday — beautiful surroundings, great food, fantastic facilities and, most importantly, genuinely caring staff who made us feel looked after throughout our stay.
We would absolutely return and would highly recommend King Minos to other families, especially those travelling with young children. 🌴☀️❤️
Massage
They were very professional and kind. Nadya was a very good masseur
A beautiful family holiday 🇬🇷❤️!
We absolutely loved our stay at the King Minos Hotel! From start to finish, everyone was so welcoming, friendly and helpful, and the hotel itself was beautiful.
What really stood out to us was how lovely everyone was with our little girl. They made such a fuss of her and always made us feel so welcome as a family. ❤️
A special thank you to Antigoni, the Spa Manager, who was absolutely wonderful, and George at the pool bar, who was so kind and brilliant with our little one. They both went above and beyond to make our stay extra special.
We had such a lovely holiday and would happily come back again. Thank you to the whole team at King Minos for making our stay so memorable! 🇬🇷☀️❤️
Superb!
Best experience! Very nice and clean! Food was very good with the variety of selection. The staff was amazing, always there to help and make your stay comfortable. Would highly recommend going to the SPA, very friendly staff: full body massage by Nadya was amazing. My daughter had a neck and shoulder massage with Aggeliki which was also perfect and very relaxing!
Thank you for excellent and relaxing stay!
Very good
Dina gave me a professional and excellent massage. She is professional, kind, and courteous, and I really enjoyed the experience.
