“Knossos Beach Bungalows strikes me as a solid choice for families, emphasizing beach access and recreational activities. The dining stands out with award-winning Mediterranean cuisine, and the wellness spa could be a real draw. Though some rooms apparently fall short of the advertised standards, the resort's commitment to a quality beach experience and diverse facilities makes it worth considering.”
