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

Beautiful hotel

Pros: Nice people and kind staff. The location is very quiet (although perhaps a little too quiet). The surroundings are absolutely beautiful. Cons: On our first night, we encountered four massive cockroaches in the room. These insects were about the size of my thumb and were flying. One even came close to climbing on my wife’s head during the night. We promptly requested another room, which meant that at 1 a.m. on our first night, we had to call and get a different room. So, after unpacking, we had to pack everything back up, only to unpack again. It was a disappointing start to our stay. However, once we were in the new room, we didn’t encounter any more roaches. Unfortunately, we overheard someone in another room going through a similar experience. General: This resort is not the place to stay if you’re looking for nightlife. However, it’s conveniently located (just a 10-minute drive) to some nice outdoor beach bars and has a beautiful view of the private beach and water.

Good spot but far from Stuff. Good food, great views, food beach. Bring a bigger cup for your drinks.

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.

The Free WiFi is almost inexistent in the room. The breakfast & dinner at the main restaurant is very good but the lunch at SiLa is not good at all. The concierge has no idea about the points of interest in the area.

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.

Incredible stay at Knossos Beach Hotel and Spa - 10/10. We felt very cared for! Every room was max 3 min from the crystal clear warm water, cabanas and beach chairs with umbrellas on the smooth sand beach. I thought we would want to do many things in Greece only to discover this hotel and beach was paradise - so I never left! Superb staff - every one, tasty cocktails on the beach, warm water exterior pool (we never used because the ocean was soft and warm without dangerous waves!). Delicious food, good wine selection. Paradise. And an affordable paradise!!

Super friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food. Really nice beach and swimming. Easy access to Heraklion by taxi or frequent and comfortable bus.

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!

Knosso beach bungalow was a nice way to end our 10 th anniversary vacation. The staff was kind the buffet was very tasteful but what I like the most was the view looking over the sea at the mountains and the fact that our private heated pool made this place a little gold mind. Well there’s nothing little about this place it’s huge but beautiful. I also liked you have your on private cabana on the beach. The grounds of Knossos is beautiful. Also if you feel like you want to dress up a little they do have a elegant restaurant you could try on the grounds too. Whether it’s a long stay or a weekend stay you will love your stay here. Oh and the night pictures are just as beautiful as the pictures in the day. We had a great week.
