Kevin Branderhorst
We had a perfect 6 night stay. It was so beautiful. We had a room with Hot Tub and sea view. Highly recommended. The Pool area and Bar is very lovely and quietly. For us (vegetarian) the Buffet was tasty and varied every day more than enough. We've booked all inclusive and all services were perfect. Every Person of the Hotel staff was very friendly and made our stay a 10 out of 10 experience. We would love to come back as soon as possible. A big thank you
Alina Vacevici
Great stay at this hotel! Everything was perfect, food was delicious 🔥 In Turkey there is a lot of food, but with the same taste, but that’s not the story about this hotel. Variety of seafood every day during lunch and dinner. Desserts and ice cream with different toppings. Rooms were spacious and clean. Stuff was friendly. Definitely recommend 🔥

I booked a classic double room with a sea view and a whirlpool. The bedroom was spacious, featuring a king-size bed with lovely soft pillows and a comfortable mattress. The room was cleaned daily, and it included a coffee machine, kettle, mini fridge, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, and plenty of electrical sockets. There was also a large TV. We opted for the half-board basis, with the flexibility to swap dinner for lunch if we wanted to eat out. The spa on-site was a highlight; we enjoyed a back massage that was perfect. The pool bar was lovely and clean, offering a wide selection of drinks. The pool area was well-maintained, with plenty of sunbeds available and fresh towels provided.

I just want to say the staff at this resort was absolutely amazing. I really can’t find words to describe how grateful and appreciative we are to have been able to stay here and been in company with the people that work at this resort. From the ladies at reception. I want to say a big thank you for everything you helped us with. From booking taxi’s and helping us book reservations at restaurants. The food at this resort was nothing but amazing so much to offer. And we loved every meal. So thank you What really made this holiday special. Was well and truly the staff. I want to thank hugely. Dion and George. These 2 members of staff was nothing but helpful , kind, and really made us feel welcome. Over our holiday, throughout the 10 days. These 2 gentlemen was our highlight. They was beyond helpful with everything. During the day George was a laugh to be around. I sometimes found myself in hysterics , joking around with him. What a nice person he was. And of a night Dion.He really really was such a character to be around. Thank you so much for everything guys. I really hope to see you in the future. This resort was the best holiday I have ever been too. If you are reading this review. Just book it. Everything about it was amazing. The location, food, drinks, staff. I truly would call George and Dion, my friends. Thank you guys and I hope to see you in the future. Thank you King Minos.

The hotel staff were lovely and very friendly, which made us feel welcome from the start. However, this hotel is definitely not suitable for children — there’s absolutely nothing for them to do and no entertainment options available. It would honestly be better marketed as an adults-only hotel. If you’re a couple aged between 25 and 35 looking for a quiet, chilled holiday, this place would be ideal. The restaurant served good food, but the selection was quite limited and the space itself is quite small. There’s only one pool bar, which often gets very congested. Long waits for drinks were common as the staff struggled to keep up with demand.
