I had a wonderful experience staying at this resort, particularly in villa Pasiphae, with its fantastic organization and beautiful beachfront location. The service was excellent and the range of dining options was impressive, although swimming in the sea was a bit uncomfortable due to waves. There were some issues with cleanliness and food quality noted at another hotel, which makes me appreciate the value offered here. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay for families and couples alike.

My family and I had a fantastic time at this hotel, especially thanks to the incredible kids club that kept our daughter entertained every day. The staff were all friendly and always available to help, making our stay stress-free. However, the dining options could use some improvement, as they felt quite limited and repetitive, especially the desserts. Overall, it was a memorable holiday, but the food experience wasn't ideal.

The hotel's location was great, right by a reserved beach area which added to the relaxing vibe of our stay. It is slightly isolated from the local attractions but the beach made up for it.

We had an amazing time at this hotel! The kids club was a real highlight, keeping our daughter entertained with fun activities. The dining options were diverse and tasty, and we truly enjoyed our meals, although some dishes could be hotter. We also appreciated the serenity of our private pool and the beautiful beachfront. However, the main restaurant can get quite crowded during peak times, which was a bit overwhelming.

I recently spent ten days at the Aldemar Knossos Royal, and it was a memorable experience overall. The animation team was fantastic, ensuring there was always something fun to do, and the staff were welcoming and supportive. However, the dining experience varied—while some restaurants were quite enjoyable, others were less impressive, creating a bit of inconsistency. Still, the amenities were great, particularly the pools and beach access, making it a pleasant stay overall.

The rooms were lovely and spacious, with a nice patio to enjoy the afternoon sun, but there could have been better facilities for hanging wet swimwear.
