What fantastic staff

Review of Knossos Villas
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Oct 14, 2012
We arrived and from that moment we were blown away by the friendliness of the staff. We have two small children and they treated us all like we were an extended member of their family. The restaurant staff were so good to us and our children my daughter still wants to see "Mr George" every morning and dinner time. Maria and Theo also deserve a special mention. The amenities are all and more than you could wish for, and I only wish we could have stayed longer.

I highly recommend this hotel for a family holiday, especially when you get treated like an extended member of the staffs family. Thanks to Mr Gasparis, Mr. Michalakis, Maria, Theo, Kostas and all the team for a wonderful week. We will definitely be back.

Great hotel and fantastic staff :)

Staff were all very welcoming from the reception to the bar and restaurants. Animation team were fantastic!!! Hotel in good condition in all public areas, rooms clean and fully air conditioned. Animation team provide a wide variety of optional daytime activities and great evening shows. Every member of the animation team added to the enjoyment of the holiday. Frank, one of the funniest blokes you will ever meet!... Beach was a couple of minutes’ walk from the room and had a bar located very close with food and drink available. Plenty of different breakfast and dinners in the main restaurant.

Great Holiday

We have been to this Hotel 3 years and each time our holidays get better and better. The staff are very welcoming and so helpful and make the stay lovely. The pools, beach, food, villas and overall facilities are of a very high standard. One of the main things for us is that there is a great choice of foods in the restaurants, Beach Bar, Gourmet restaurant and Taverna. We will be rebooking as soon as we can.
