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).

Very bad first impression when dropped off outside an old tatty lift and didn’t have a clue where to go. You’ll have to walk over glass sided bridge to get to the Ambassador hotel which looks smart and clean and the bedroom was great , large with all the amenities we needed and a lovely comfortable bed. Then it all goes downhill from here on! Balcony overlooking a wood yard with rusty corrugated fence panels, totally unacceptable, complained to staff and it was dismissed and shrugged off, breakfast bland and tasteless with little choices and dry pastries , fresh fruit was lovely , yogurts and many other foods were not labelled to know what they were or what the ingredients were , all very important for anyone with food intolerances. Dinner only three choices of main meal and overcooked and little of it , sweets the same every night and all bland. We ended up going out for dinner each night so that we could have the food and holiday atmosphere we expected in a 5* hotel. This seemed to be the case for a lot of the guests too because the restaurant was so empty every evening. This hotel needs a good shake up and staff need to be trained up to a 5* standard, there was a lot of bickering and cross words between them , not happy in their job and getting orders wrong is unacceptable with so little guests to serve. They ask for smart dress code in the evening yet some were eating with sports wear vests and baseball caps on.
We went to the beach most days and into Rethymnon because at the start of the holiday certain guests would be up at the crack of dawn to secure their sun beds. Staff need to be firm and monitor this, it’s unfair for others who have the right to use them too.
We’ve stayed in many 5* hotels small and larger all over Greece and other countries and have been amazing, but this was definitely not anywhere near a 5* experience. A bit confusing too when they say they have two restaurants! They don’t , you are only allowed to eat in one, the other is the bar area with sofas and coffee tables. Asked spa about a pedicure and they don’t do those either but advertise that they do.
The reason we booked this hotel was because of a high percentage of excellent reviews. In future I won’t be taking those seriously . Something has gone wrong somewhere and it needs to be sorted.

The hotel is very nice and modern, the rooms are clean and large, the pool has nice views, but that's where the pluses end. This hotel is absurd. The hotel has 5 stars, but it doesn't even deserve 3. Let's start with the food, because it's the biggest minus of this hotel. There is very little choice for breakfast and everything is really very modest, cold, burnt or overcooked, little fruit, and when you go down for breakfast at 9 o'clock there will be nothing warm. Dinner is even worse. There are 3 dishes to choose from. I ordered duck which looked nice, but it was inedible. It was like rubber, you couldn't cut it. The dinner portions are a real joke, like for a baby. The hotel service is also not satisfactory. The service is only nice to you if you order a whole bottle of wine at dinner, and spend all your money in the hotel on drinks and beverages. The sauna and massage are also a scandal. The massage costs 80 euros for 80 minutes of massage, and the sauna is also charged 30 euros for 30 minutes. I have never encountered a sauna that was paid for. However, the food is the biggest minus. If you don't want to be hungry, you have to go to the city and buy food, because you won't survive on the hotel food. This hotel does not deserve 5 stars and I am very disappointed and disappointed for the price of this hotel. Absurd, I do not recommend this hotel to anyone!

Stayed here for a whole week with my family and had a wonderful time.
We had breakfast and dinner for the whole week, and breakfast was nice with buffe and service at the table as well.
Dinner was something to remember! :)

Sophia from reception was so lovely and helpful! The airline lost our luggage on the mainland, and she kindly offered to handle everything for us, calling the airline and organising for our luggage to be flown to us and we had our clothes by that night. Such great service. Food was great too. We will stay longer next time.

Breakfast was good, but sortiment of food wasn't explained, without captions, and cook at eggs was very unpleasant.

My fiance and I came here on our summer vacation. The hotel is beautiful and we were greeted warmly by the staff with a complimentary welcome drink.

The rooms are big and spacious. The maids come twice a day to clean and change towels and bedding.

During our stay, my fiance who is pregnant, and I got sick. The staff automatically ran to help us with anything we needed. The chef specifically made food for my fiance and I, as she was feeling lethargic and could not eat much. The waiters were all super respectful and reassured us if we needed anything to not hesitate to let them know.

The front desk staff was also very helpful in organizing anything we needed and were always one call away.

We could not say enough good things about the staff here, and are very appreciative and thankful for everything they have done for us. It really shows how Cretan/Greek people are also family oriented individuals who care. We will for sure come back here again, maybe even with baby 🤗

This is a brilliant hotel in many respects. Service, rooms and cleanliness are impeccable. However, the one draw back is the food which during our stay has at times inedible, mostly over cooked, tasteless and cold. The breakfast buffet does not fair much better, cheap thinly sliced cheese and meat, stale looking pastries and from the hot buffet, wet looking bacon, sausages etc. we paid for half board but most evenings we ate in the Old Town. The Old Town is busy, lively and is a taxi drive away from the hotel, unless you are prepared to walk in 30degree heat we estimated 15 to 20 minutes then get a cab which will cost about 6 euros. The infinity pool area is small and for the size of the hotel there are not enough sun beds, if you come down after nine all the beds are occupied. However, the beach is close by and sunbeds and parasols are free

Hotel:
I had a delightful stay at Minos Ambassador on the beautiful island of Crete. Our room was consistently neat and impeccably clean. The hotel staff proved to be exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The rooftop restaurant staff, in particular, were incredibly courteous, and the dining experience was nothing short of fantastic. With the exception of the Asian-themed evening, the food consistently pleased our palates. While we enjoyed the cuisine, a touch more traditional Cretan fare would have been appreciated. Our room offered a superb experience overall; however, the air conditioning was not fully functional. Despite the technician's efforts, it only worked temporarily. Despite this minor hiccup, our overall experience at Minos Ambassador was delightful, and we would certainly recommend it.

Spa:
The spa experience was simply heavenly! The full-body scrub left the skin silky smooth, followed by a delightful full-body massage that effortlessly melted away tension. The massage therapists were not only highly professional but also exceptionally friendly. The Aloe Vera body mask at the end was like a refreshing breeze, invigorating the senses. An all-encompassing and top-notch spa journey.
