Amazing stay, with my family of 4. Beautiful and quaint hotel, as close to the beach as you can get. We had a gorgeous suite with a lovely terrace overlooking the sea. The breakfast was a lovely spread. We’ll be back at this spot!

Me, my wife, and our five months old son had a wonderful stay at Knossos. We stayed in a suite with sea view, which was beautiful and spacious, and included a beach cabana, which is convenient when travelling with an infant to avoid sun exposure while playing at the beach. The hotel area is beautiful and quiet, and the breakfast and dinner were excellent with a variety of local dishes in addition to more generic choices. And finally, all of the staff (receptionists, waitresses, cleaners…) were so kind, attentive, and accommodating, and they made us feel welcome and safe. Thank you!

Lovely resort , staff super friendly and attentive .
Such an amazing location with its own cove type beaches .
The place is beautiful! Very quiet and adult friendly. We had a few issues with our heated pool and they were remedied immediately. The food choices were outstanding and delicious. Customer service was excellent.
The resort was just amazing with beautiful white buildings and flowered pathways! We had a private Villa with a private pool and fabulous room service! The private restaurants on the resort was delicious! Highly recommended!
The private beach and sun beds are nice, beach bar and service are nice as well. There is nothing to do outside of the resort unless to take a taxi( 30 euros one way)to go to Heraklion city center
The hotel is very well situated on the beach and has two very good restaurants. The highlight for us all were the charming staff and we enjoyed our few days very much. You do get used to planes flying quite low overhead. The hotel is freshly painted and there is a gym and a well appointed spa.

Nice place. Advertised as a five star but far from it. Staff friendly and helpful. Food good but DO NOT buy the meal package
We had a suite with private pool and access to beach
Room was a good size, and the private pool was a decent size too
Access to beach was great, and it felt a little like a private beach, shared with a handful of people
Food was great (Si La particularly nice food and views)
Entertainment was OK, not the best but not the worst
Staff were really good, always very polite and quick to take orders
Loved our week and would definitely come back austin
This property left nothing to desire. The room we had was clean, quiet and perfectly situated facing the beach. There was a full wall of a window to view a beautiful coastline with no obstruction at all. The staff was very friendly and helpful at turn of our stay. I just wish we had more time to stay longer.
Warm, friendly welcome. This luxury hotel caters to everyone, even our furry babies. It has an excellent day spa, similar to or even better than Crown Day Spa in Melbourne. Breakfast is included. There are two swimming pools, a gym, and sunbeds on a private beach. Amazing ocean views and close to town. Highly recommended for families and couples but perhaps not the first option for solo travellers.
