Minos Mare is an excellent hotel.

Great location right on the beach, only a short bus/taxi ride from Rethymnon Town, superb staff-very friendly, wide range of food at breakfast time and in the evening, kitchen staff will also try and accomodate special diets also, spotless hotel, varied choice of entertainment, nice large outside pool with very cold indoor pool........ the list goes on.

Superb hotel and great value for money!

Hope this helps

I've been reading some negative comments on my lovely hotel stating that it's being taken over with loud Italians!

Anyone been there recently????

I used to rep in this hotel a few years ago and it was lovely when I was there. I'm looking to go there fairly soon for a holiday and just wondered if anyone had just returned from there and looking for some opinions before I book!

On the basis of the positive reviews from 2004 we have booked two weeks at the Minos Mare in mid August. We have also been very worried by some of the 2005 reviews which suggest British visitors are receiving less favourable service and that the hotel is not the oasis of tranquility it once was. I'd be grateful for any views from people who have been this year - positive or negative - to get a balanced view about what we can expect!

Many thanks

Sara

If anyone has stayed here please add your review Minos Mare Hotel Review Here

Hi everyone
I have not long returned from this hotel and yes the news it right the hotel has been taken over by itilans. we were told that in 2004 they could not fill the hotel with just English and Germans so the itilan companys have said they will fill the hotel and have put on an animation team.
So everything is catered for them The muisc starts from about 10am and then stops for lunch about 1pm and restarts again about 3pm till 6pm.
the music can somtimes be abit loud so i just went to the beach 3euros for a sunbed. and retured at 1.30pm for a quite lunch.
The hotel is very nice the rooms are very clean and the staff are great and if you like a drink the evening bar staff are also easy to get along with. we had some great nights with them.
The hotel is a great base and near all shops and bars and local bus stops.
I hope this answers any questions

Good news for all Minos Mare guests. There will be NO Italian Tour Compnay at this hotel next year. I have had this confirmed by friends who work in the hotel.
The management must have taken notice of the hundreds of complaints which they received this year and have taken the contract away from them!!!

Which UK tour companies use the Minos Mare? We're thinking of Crete next year in June and would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

Thomson and Olympic Holidays feature the Minos Mare but First Choice also featured in during the latter stages of the Summer Season but not sure if they are featuring it next year.

You can book the Minos Mare through Eclipse ( direct booking ) We went in October 2004. Superb value for money.
