Greece Crete Hersonissos

Aldemar Knossos Royal Beach Resort

4110 reviews

  • Reviews

Overlooking the lapping Aegean and just a short drive from the popular Cretan resort of Hersonissos, the 5 star Aldemar Knossos Royal is the perfect retreat for both couples and families. Set out like a small Greek village, find your way to the beach from its stunning landscaped pathways, or the pool if you prefer breeze-free sunbathing sessions.



Aside from its spacious pool, the hotel also comes with an array of fun facilities from open-air play areas perfect for high-energy toddlers to a splash zone for water babies and a kids’ club featuring all kinds of daytime activities. Teens may favour the crazy golf course or tennis courts, while grownups looking to unwind can reap the health benefits of a sauna session. There’s also a fully-equipped gym if you don’t like to skip your daily workout.



And with all that fun comes plenty of indulging thanks to the hotel’s five restaurants. All Inclusive guests can visit all of them at least once, while those staying on a Half Board basis will receive an a la carte discount. The main restaurant is a must for picky eaters with weekly Greek and Italian themed nights as well as a mini buffet for little appetites. If you’re after seafood delights surrounded by the ocean, there’s a plush beachside spot where you can dine alfresco between 12am and 5:30pm. For something a little fancier, make a reservation at one of the hotel’s speciality eateries, from Crete fusion food at Artemis to gourmet Med favourites at Fontana Amorosa.



Whatever your tipple, you can take advantage of local wine, beer, spirits and non-alcoholic drinks from one of the four bars for a minimum of 12 hour each day. But nothing beats sitting down for a drink at Kafeneio, an open-air coffee shop made for lazy afternoons sipping traditionally Greek beverages.



Room-wise, you can choose from family maisonettes sleeping a maximum of four plus one infant or cosy double bungalows squeezing in three guests. If you want to upgrade your stay, sea views and sharing pools are the ultimate add-on. As standard, you can expect air-conditioning (May to September) satellite TV, Wi-Fi, a bathroom, safe, hair dryer and a furnished balcony or veranda.



If you want to discover the local area there’s plenty going on in nearby Hersonissos, including a trio of sandy beaches, waterfront restaurants and family-friendly bars. On top of all that, you’re in a great spot for visiting some of the area’s major attractions. Kids will love making friends with the local sea life at Aquaworld Aquarium, which is just over a mile away. As for history buffs, don’t miss out on a chance to visit the Archaeological Site of Knossos, one of Europe’s oldest cities (20 miles away).

Amazing experience! Totally recommend it.

Jan 2023 | Μαρία Σ

I came here at 14th of September and I stayed for a week. I booked this package from Jet2holidays and also had half board with it. This hotel is located in a sloping area almost 20 minutes of the center of Hersonissos (might not be very suitable for those who have mobility problems). Lovely view from the hotels restaurant. It has two store apartments with either a garden view or a pool view. There are Many pools in the hotel that serve the buildings, with the largest pool being near the reception. It has plenty available sunbeds (but you can’t just put a towel to make it look unavailable). Their rooms are well equipped and spacious such as the restaurant which also has buffet with various meals that have international taste which represents the international costumers. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would stay again in this hotel and I would totally recommend it!

Especially guest services, who dealt with queries efficiently and had great advice and local knowledge. Our rooms were gorgeous, beds so comfortable. The breakfast buffet was amazing, the food selection was excellent. Simply spoilt for choice. We relaxed and enjoyed time by different pools, by bar, on beach . Stunning scenary. Such a wonderful stay, would absolutely recommend!

Great family friendly hotel

Nov 2022 | BeverleyL74

Great food with lots of choice, brilliant, warm, attentive staff, clean outside areas and bedrooms. We were so well looked after! Also a lovely hotel for a wedding, either on the pebbly beach or outside an adjacent Orthodox chapel. Would definitely visit again!
