Knossos Beach Bungalows Suites Resort & Spa

From the moment we arrived we were in love. The staff at Knossos Beach made us feel like part of their family. We enjoyed every part of our honeymoon stay. The spa was spectacular, the bar/pool area were relaxing, the food was delicious, and our room was spectacular. We really can't express how much we enjoyed our stay. After visiting Athens, Santorini, and Crete - it was Crete that left us wanting o return.

Beautiful property, lovely room with a view and very private. Staff was very helpful.

Dear The transooration from hotel to city is expensive and delay time hope to modification in future Best regard Hazim Alobaidi

I cannot put into words what a stellar place this is. The staff was amazing, kind, polite and extra helpful. Our room was stunning, clean, very comfortable. The view magnificent. Lefteris went above and beyond to make my birthday experience exceptional. When I come back to Crete, I will stay here.

The staff and manager are exceptionally kind and Made our 2 week visit one that we will never forget Our deepest expression of thanks to George, Lefty And Nick. Todd and yoko

The hotel was soooo beautiful and perfectly Greek. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Our room was gorgeous and the views breathtaking. The breakfast buffet was delicious and just everything about the hotel spot on. Highly recommend to everyone!!!

Beautiful hotel, comfortable room very close to the beach. Great food at the buffet restaurant (i am a vegetarian and had plenty of choices). Very peaceful and quiet surrounding although the location is very close to the airport and Heraklion. Highly recommend!

Great staff and a great beach. A nice getaway that is a 15 minute bus ride from the port in Heraklion.

Hotel is a little paradise with a private beach, but ants in room and no shower wall (so water in all bathroom) were disappointing for a luxurious getway.

Overall, my wife and I were very disappointed with our ‘5 star’ experience. Reasons for this included: 1) The hotel is located directly under a flight path – we found the regular periodic noise (from morning to evening) from planes to be highly intrusive both inside & outside of our room (eg by the main hotel pool we found the noise was loud enough to stop a conversation whilst the plane flew over) 2) Limited half board food options- given the location of the hotel, guests have limited options for dining outside of the hotel with the closest town 10 minutes away required a €25 taxi journey each way arranged by the hotel. The options for half board are confined to 2 of the 3 restaurants with restrictive menus with low flexibility (full menus were available at price less 20%). Eg, we don’t each beef and requested for the beef burger to be replaced with a chicken burger. The waiter checked with the chef and the BEST they could do was to serve a grilled chicken breast (no salad) with the burger buns and condiments on the side for us to prepare our own burgers 3) We found our room was not cleaned on a timely basis and any cleaning was superficial 4) Other than the pool, we found entertaining our 18 month year old difficult. The play area was a disappointment for us and had a constant sewage smell which put us off spending any time there 5) The private beach area contained a lot of washed up dry sea weed. It did not seem to us that the beach was cleaned on a regular basis
