Semiramis Village
4/512 Reviews
This hotel is rated a 4 star hotel and unfortunately there are a few to many things that let it down and would not consider it to be 4 star it’s more like 3. When we arrived at the hotel we were greeted by a nice man who checked us in. The staff were very pleasant to deal with and welcoming. Unfortunately we were given a room at the highest point of the hotel and there was only a lift to the first floor. We arrived in the afternoon and it was about 34 degree heat which we then had to carry our suitcases up 5 flights of stairs outside with no help from staff. The room was clean and spacious and we were given fresh towels every other day, however the rooms are outdated and need to be refurbished but this didn’t bother us to much. The air conditioning didn’t turn off in our room which did end up being a little bit of a issue as in the night we would wake up freezing cold in the room. The food at this hotel is not 4 star standard. It’s very basic, same type of pasta every day, a small selection of salad, some sort of fish everyday and a different meat but selection was small and basic. The soft drinks machine was occasionally broken and it was usually warm with no ice. Some of us from our group did become unwell and we were convinced it was from the food as we thought that it was reused the next day at lunch. The pool area was okay. Some days it did feel over crowed and we ended up leaving and going to the beach just so we could relax. The walk to the beach was around 20 minutes away which wasn’t to bad however you could get a taxi to malia and they also had a beach. The taxi was €15 each way which we thought was reasonable and you can ask at reception for one. There are no cocktails included in the all inclusive drinks. You can pay to have a cocktail and they were around €7-€9 each. The selection of drinks again is small. Beer, wine and a small selection of spirits. This included vodka, gin, and rum. There was also coffee and tea available at the pool area. They also don’t provide beach towels so make sure to take one or you can buy one from the local shop which was down the road outside the hotel. The location of the hotel is close to malia which was a 15 minute taxi and the other way was hersonissos which again was 15-20 mins away. Be prepared to do a lot of walking as the hotel is up a big hill and then steps to all the rooms. Overall we did enjoy our holiday but the food and drinks selection let it down massively.
Hotel Anna Apartments
4.4/528 Reviews
We had a wonderful time at Anna Apartments. It is very well located, close to a great sandy beach with warm water. Also, the bus station is just across the street so you can easily have access Heraklion or to other places (and bus stations are not that common in the area). The apartment that we had for 7 days was clean, cozy and comfortable, with everything we needed. I liked the balcony, the kitchenette, also the hairdryer was super handy for a girl with medium-long hair. The bed and pillows were nice and soft. The mirror in the bedroom is very useful for when you are getting ready to go out. Now for the best part, the owner Yannis is the best host we've met so far. He is really kind and caring with all the guests, paying attention to their needs and making sure that they are having a good time, giving the best recommendations. He is also very funny and chatty. It was really pleasant for us to hang out with him and talk about literally anything. We are so greateful for the whole experience! Thank you, Yannis!
Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort
4.3/549 Reviews
I had been to the same hotel two or three times last year, it was very good and nice compared to the other hotels I went to on the peninsula. This year I thought the manager changed and I asked do you have a new manager they said no the same one so listen. What I am going to say does not benefit us, the customers, but it is the truth and it must be said that it does not benefit us because the price of the hotel is going up and that is why I say that it does not benefit us the manager this year must have had a terrible inspiration because I saw a completely different hotel nothing to do with all the others I had seen and believe me I have been going 15 years in a row to the peninsula over 6 to 7 times a year vacationing in too many of them I have vacationed what I saw this year I have never seen before in any hotel. That is, from the staff more kind than the reception, incredible from the restaurants, the quality of the meals was on another level. In general, everything was wonderful, I would like to mention one by one the people I interacted with, but it is very difficult epigrammatically, so the meter that is in the Konstantinos restaurant she conducts the orchestra in the restaurant and believe me the manager very well the lady Eva at the reception has served us this is the third time she has served us herself in anything we have asked her the last time she brought us a charger from her house to charge the mobile us down in the pool next to where Artemis is with the skewers, all the guys are very helpful, to whom should I start, everyone is amazing, finally, I want to say a big thank you and well done to the hotel management and especially to the manager, he has managed to do incredibly well...
Karteros Hotel
4.1/510 Reviews
Le séjour a eu ses hauts et ses bas. D'un côté, le parking s'est avéré dangereux avec une route à traverser où les voitures roulent à vive allure. À l'intérieur, la tablette en marbre de la table de chevet m'a causé des soucis, notamment lorsque je m'y suis cogné deux fois dans la nuit. L'insonorisation de l'appartement laisse également à désirer, vos deux oreilles sont dans le couloir avec les groupes de gens jusqu'à 3h du matin qui rentrent en discutant, et je me levais à 4h pour l'avion... Dommage. Cependant, tout n'était pas négatif. La literie était confortable, et la piscine un vrai plus. De plus, l'emplacement est très pratique, avec une branche d'autoroute à seulement 5 minutes de l'aéroport. L'accueil était également sympathique, ce qui a légèrement adouci les points négatifs.
Stella Palace Aqua Park Resort
4.4/541 Reviews
We have just come back after a week in a Family Suite Pool View room. The room was excellent. Only thing that would make it better is having a coffee pod machine like the direct pool access rooms have. I just bought some nice instant coffee and milk for the room though. The food in the buffet was good and varied. The Staff at the buffet were amazing, especially the lady at the door. Actually the Staff through the whole resort were amazing and couldn’t have done more for us. The boys loved the water park. My youngest lived off the burgers in there. Plus the Palms sweet bar between the 2 main pools at Palace was brilliant. Could help yourself to crepes and waffles plus the soft serve ice cream was brilliant. We booked a meal at 4 of the 5 sit down restaurants (1 meal in each 5 included and can be booked through app when you arrive or phone reception). These were all amazing. It was my son’s birthday when we were there but I hadn’t told them. Came back to a birthday cake in his room and the table at the restaurant had a happy birthday sign plus a balloon for him. He was delighted. Pools were bit cold but was fine once in them. All said I would recommend Stella Palace to anyone wanting a family or couples holiday. We are looking to go back in 2026.
Stella Village Seaside Hotel
4.5/545 Reviews
We looked at both Stella Village and Stella Palace and ended up booking the village in a superior family room (427). It’s a lovely room in a great spot, away enough from the noise of entertainment (you can still hear it but not deafening). The room is modern, clean and well laid out with a king sized bed in one part, separate shower and toilet and then another area with 2 single beds so perfect for a family. Food wise, we have found the selection to be good quality but really poor in terms of both variety each night and quantity of choice. Such a small selection. The main restaurant by reception lacks any character, totally indoors and is clearly the old restaurant of a hotel it looks they took over to then either create Stella village or expand it. Mediterra clearly has been added and in the style of the palace restaurants and much nicer as is partly outside. Again same small selection of food and very similar each night. You have to book this on the app or in reception. We ended up at the main restaurant the first night and so pleased we haven’t had to go to it again. Tonight we ate at the A la Carte Filemma and was really looking forward to it but food wasn’t great however the restaurant itself was again a new addition. Setting wise in the dark it’s fine but you walk through clearly an area of buildings which house rooms from the previous hotel it looks like and thank goodness we weren’t in these. It’s like two different worlds. We have no idea how the three small restaurants cope when the hotel is at capacity in the summer months. The reception, pool bar area are tatty and tired and there is clearly the old pool from the previous hotel which doesn’t look appealing plus 2/3 other little pools that look like they may have been added but it’s all a bit disjointed. Apart from the water park there isn’t a decent pool to sit around and swim in if you are a village guest and that’s not made clear when we looked at the two. The water park is incredible. Spotlessly clean, great staff and this is the same throughout the hotel, all very friendly. The food offering in the water park is the same each day but good quality and convenient. The slides are incredible and what an amazing addition to the hotel. We took the bus into Heraklion today. About 30min and cheap. As a city not pretty, we were Chania side last year at the same time and so pretty in comparison. We are glad we saw but very little there and very little character. What we feel isn’t made clear when looking at the hotels to make your choice via a lot of the tour operators websites, is that you are allowed to walk through Stella palace, ( as they just blend into each other anyway) enroute to the water park but apart from that you are told upon arrival that you must not use any of the facilities in the palace. You honestly feel like the poor neighbours. They have such a lovely selection of restaurants to choose from, bars and lovely places to relax with a drink, two stunning pools and a
