Stella Village Seaside Hotel

This was our first time visiting Greece and we want to come back for more! We stayed at the of June as a family of 4 and had a great time. The transfer from the airport was roughly 20 minutes which was great! We were then greeted by lovely reception staff. They explained everything to us and were very helpful! We stayed in room 152 which was above the Filamena restaurant. The room was very spacious with the teenagers one end and the adults at the other. We had two bathrooms, which was awesome and also a partial sea view which we wasn't expecting. Unfortunately there is a downside to the rooms and that is the paper thin walls. With people arriving at various times you hear absolutely everything, items dragged across the floor etc. Not the hotels fault but didn't help us on the sleep front! We literally spent most of our time by the pool at the Filamena. We didn't have to get up early for a sunbed as there were plenty. If you want a better spot then by all means do get down there. The best part about being in this area was the staff. We were lucky enough to be greeted each day by Euidiky, what a lovely lady! Made great drinks and always had a smile on her face. Stella village is very lucky to have Euidiky working for them!! Stella village also has a great waterpark which was a bit of a walk from our room (10 mins) but we didn't mind. We did find out you can order a golf cart to take you which was a nice idea! The waterpark caters for all ages and has a great snack bar. The other pools didn't seem to be as nice as they were quite small but ok the plus side they had a bar right next to them. Again at this bar the staff are so friendly and seem to really enjoy working at the Stella village. The food can be a bit repetitive however if you book the Mediterra each day (using the app) you may notice differences between the 2 restaurants with one having a few different dishes. Book early and if you didn't find anything pop into the main restaurant and have a look at the other items. I'm a really fussy eater and I ate a lot!!! The cocktails are great and the beer wasn't too bad either! Entertainment was good fun, there was a kids disco followed by a show pretty much every night (1 bingo night as well). This disco in the bar next to the Mediterra was a laugh and this starts a little bit after the entertainment. The beach is opposite the hotel and seemed very clean and the water was calm. The sunsets are amazing, definitely get down there for pictures. We did our own little shopping trip to Herisonissos which was a 15 euro taxi each way. Reception will book this for you. Pleasent area and worth a look round. Overall the staff are what make this hotel, I have never been to a place where I felt so welcome. Nothing was a problem and were always happy to help. It is strange that there are multiple hotels on the site and can use each others facilities but if you want a great value getaway book the Stella village.

Bar service was excellent and clean accommodation. Constantly cleaned and maintained grounds. Water park and facilities were amazing for all ages

This was our second year visiting Stella Village, we had the best time on both occasions. The place is spotlessly clean and the food is lovely. The staff are amazing and can't do enough for you. Lucio and Alexandros were absolutely brilliant and made our holiday very special, we left having made 2 Stella friends! Also have to mention Aggelos, Maurisio, and Nikos from the main bar who were super. Toby and Dima from the Mediterra restaurant also super. We will definitely return again.

We have recently returned from an amazing family holiday in Stella Village. The staff throughout this hotel were amazing and everyone worked so hard for their guests. It really was incredible. The hotel is spotlessly clean, food was lovely and the location was like a dream. The most stunning sunsets we have ever seen. The pools and waterpark along with a private beach area meant that no area became overcrowded and there were always sun-beds available somewhere. Just a short taxi ride into town and a daily public bus to Heraklion but plenty of areas to explore in the surrounding area. Loved it so much that we have already rebooked.

We had an absolutely fabulous time on our relaxing vacation! We are always hopping around anytime we travel, and we really wanted a vacation where we just relaxed and had fun! My kids swam EVERY single day from 10am to 6pm. The waterpark is amazing, and the slides were thrilling! I was appreciative of the readily available food and drink options, and the staff was ALWAYS friendly and helpful. Thanks for making our vacation fun!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (yes, 6 out of 5)

We’ve just returned from our stay at Stella Village, and I must say – the service deserves 6 stars out of 5.

From the reception to the restaurants, the bar staff, the Water Park team, housekeeping, security – every single staff member was genuinely kind, warm, helpful, and incredibly welcoming to children (even when some of them didn’t necessarily deserve it 😅). Their heartfelt approach truly elevated our entire experience.

Special mention also goes to the entertainment program and especially the quality of the food – way above what you might expect from an all-inclusive resort.

Although we’re usually not the type of travelers who stay in one place for the whole trip – we prefer exploring and moving around – we chose this hotel mainly for our little one, and honestly, we have zero regrets. In fact, even though we love discovering new places, we’d happily return here in the future.

It may not be a “luxury getaway” in the traditional sense, but what it lacks in flash, it more than makes up for in heart – thanks to the amazing people who work there.

Hotel was definitely good! Very quiet and helpful people.

Lots of animation for young and old. Your kids will definitely not be bored here!

The food I give an 8/10. Some days better than usual. When you arrive recommend: make reservations for the Mediterranean restaurant immediately for every night. Otherwise you eat I the other restaurant which has more of a canteen atmosphere.

Important!
If you rent a car, absolutely do not go to Perseas.

They try to extort money by first being friendly and then when you return the car mentioning that there is damage. (Even if you have made a video).
