King Minos Retreat Resort & Spa

Stayed in the Quinn Lodge, No 4. for 5 days (Mon-Fri). Excellent 1 bedroomed "huge" lodge. Bathroom has free standing bath. Bathroom is open to the bedroom! Lovely decor. Balcony has 2 chairs/table. Although this is on a corner plot, you are not distrubed by cars/people passing. Great view of the valley and sunsets are lovely. Car parking space is right near the front door. The site is extremely quiet and immaculate;y kept. The restaurant and bar are fab, small menu but something for everyone and prices are ok. It is a true retreat, off the beaten track and very serene indeed. Close to Lyme Regis, Sidmouth and Seton. Would definitely recommend however nothing there for children, more an adult site.

The hotel is in a lovely setting and really well layed out. We had a room with a private swimming pool which was much nicer and bigger than it looked in the pictures. We stayed for a week in total. However we did notice ants around the place and a few of them got into the room. However we phone reception and a lady from house keeping came in with some spray and we didn’t see any for the rest of the week. Overall the hotel/pool and room were very nice, staff were very friendly and helpful. But the food was not what you would expect from a 5 star hotel. We ended up eating down the town a few different nights. And the hill up to the hotel is has no street lights or footpath so you have to be carefully when walking at night. Overall it was a lovely stay with some really nice staff. I would say it’s more like a good 4 star hotel due to poor food, occasional ants and unlit hill to the hotel.

A very good place to rest! For every recommendation! The a la card restaurants are excellent, except for the Flame restaurant. The Asian cuisine is delicious, as is the Italian restaurant! The friendly staff also contributes to the pleasant atmosphere! At the Flame restaurant, they are slow, unfriendly and do not know how to prepare fish. You get burnt fish, instead of grilled fish. The all inclusive concept is different than in resorts in Turkey, Tunisia, Egypt... There are no frequent meals and they are very scarce in that regard. There are enough bars and a large selection of drink. Ice cream is served throughout the day, but it's not that tasty and it doesn't always have all the flavors on offer. The hotel staff is very friendly and ready to help at any time Despite these small complaints, my daughter and I had a very nice vacation. We have recommended this hotel to our friends

I got an aromatherapy massage done by Melisa and it was the best massage I have ever had. I have suffered with scoliosis and right shoulder pain and she really helped a lot. Will definitely book again i recommend Melisa 100% !

Dina was amazing really good massage! Really calming and nice. Spa was clean and really relaxing Overall 10/10 would recommend

From beginning to end this was a laid back, luxury experience. From being personally greeted and open-heartedly pulled into the hotel at check-in, to them sending a forgotten item that reached us in time at the airport before leaving, all the major points of the resort-experience exceeded our expectation. First and foremost we want to mention the staff. No matter who, where or what time of day the interactions were always at least polite and competent. Often however we were impressed by the authentic hospitality, sheer friendliness and helpfulness and the will of just about everyone to go out of their way to make us comfortable, happy and feel at home. Food was great and plentiful, drinks were usually mixed well and not diluted. The spa experience was worth its price, the pools were beautifully designed, the courtyard next to reception looked so much better than on the pictures, the pool bar and the spacing of sunbeds and cabanas allowed for ample privacy and relexation. Despite there being lots of guest there was never a sense of crowdedness or of being overwhelmed. The curated entertainment in the evenings never failed to turn this outdoor pool bar area into a chilled lounge. Our room looked out into Hersonisos and the water. This probably made it quieter than rooms around the pool or the courtyard. The two-story layout of the room was unusual, but extremely convenient and allowed even the use of two smart-tvs on different programs if one of the users would login with their Bluetooth headphones. The only two things that struck us were the conspicuously rare and weirdly inconveniently placed hooks for towels and the dinner situation for late arrival after 9 pm. We came in late because of a delayed flight and received small ham-and cheese buns and cute wraps, apple and a banana which was a snack at best. Also not anything up to the normal kitchen standards the resort is performing on on all other occasions. We ended up ordering a delivery which turned out very good for comparatively little money. Over all we would have liked to stay longer and may well be back soon.
