We traveled to Crete three weeks ago to stay at the Minos Ambassador in Rethymnon and had a pleasant stay in a modern and well-located hotel. Upon our late arrival (1 a.m.), there was no personalized welcome or tour of the hotel: we were simply given the key without explanation, whereas guests arriving during the day were treated to a welcome drink on the terrace and a tour. This difference in treatment upon arrival is truly regrettable for a 5-star establishment. Furthermore, our room was scheduled for two instead of three, a mistake that was fortunately quickly corrected. The highlights: a spacious and very comfortable room, impeccable housekeeping, and, above all, attentive restaurant staff, always smiling and caring. The spa area is a plus, but you have to make an appointment even to use the hammam or sauna, which isn't specified. The indoor pool, while beautiful, is shallow and unheated (20°C)—it's a shame this isn't indicated anywhere. The food is clearly the weak point of the stay: The buffets are quite repetitive, especially for starters and desserts (no yogurt is offered for dessert, only in the morning at breakfast). The overall quality remains acceptable, but lacks the finesse, variety, and attention to detail expected of a 5-star hotel. The outdoor pool is pleasant but a little small for the number of guests, and few staff members speak French, apart from one very helpful gentleman. In summary: a comfortable hotel, generally friendly staff, but uneven services and food below expectations for a 5-star hotel. The stay remains pleasant, but the experience could really be improved with more rigor in certain aspects.

Really lovely hotel. Very clean. Super friendly staff. Large rooms and balconies. Comfy beds. Lovely rooftop pool area with good sun loungers. Lots of breakfast options. We had a good massage in the spa. Good location with plenty of restaurants, bars and supermarkets nearby. It's quite a long walk from the harbour, although we enjoyed the walk along the seafront. Only downsides: Lunch menu was quite limited. Coffee machine in room but we were only given 2 pods for 8 days (apparently you have to pay for more).
