  : 1. There's a huge, very green and well-groomed territory, we've enjoyed walking around the hotel after dinner. 2. The room was very spacious and comfortable. While we didn't have a kettle in the room, we were brought one upon request. 3. The hotel beach is quite nice, as it's protected from the wind and the waves. It's not huge or picturesque, but it does its job just fine.
  : There are three things to note: 1. As per value for money, the food in the all inclusive was not great. Breakfast and lunch were good, but the dinner was downright restricted with very few options. For the same price per person we've enjoyed better food selection and taste in other hotels on Crete. 2. The main focus of this hotel is families with children. There are water parks, lots and lots of activities for children, but as a young couple we didn't use a lot of the amenities that were offered. 3. The airplane noise was louder, than we expected. Especially early morning and late evening flights.

  : Waterpark is definitely the only high points from us. Staff was nice and friendly. Room is clean and rather new. Amusement shows in the evening are nice.
  : Food is the worst! No point of going to Greece if only Greek food eaten is feta cheese. No variety, every day is basically same tasteless food. Really bad "juices" and refreshment drinks. Pool area is awful. Something from another era or from ironical comedy show. Pool bar area is the same, like clich of something that should be. Next to the ugliest pool area seen, is normal pool area which is forbidden to use. Place is seriously overcrowded. In the room You cant adjust AC so, that is runs quietly - I wore earplugs and still could hear its noise. Restaurant looks and feels like school cafeteria. There's seriously something wrong with acoustic there. And if You hope to sleep early and quietly, then it's not happening. Bar and disco and shouting and drinking and parties goes on forever. Location is in the middle of nowhere, so if You don't own a car then You stay at the hotel. Hotel beach surrounded with concrete and worn out sunbeds and umbrellas is really sad place and does not honor Cretan absolutely stunning beaches.

  : All in all a great hotel. Great location.
  : The quality of the food, and the bars. Food is mostly without seasoning, repeats itself, without variation from day to day. It's a shame they don't invest in a little better quality alcohol. Bad quality auto machine coffe Another small note, it cannot be that in today's competition in the hotel market, the towels run out in the pool and guests are sent to the lobby.

  : Water park fantastic as were most of the staff.
  : Pools freezing and small compared to palace pools that we were not allowed to use even though half the beds were empty, superior rooms not superior. Food in the village not the best as repeated every other day But edible.

  : We had a standard room. Not all the rooms are like the pictures!!! First, we got a room on the ground floor. It was cramped, gloomy, and shabby, not spacious like the room on the 1st floor we moved to for the rest of our stay. I didn't upgrade but just asked to move us to the 1st floor, which was much better. The room on the 1st floor was newer and more spacious with a nice balcony. I've rated the Village rather highly owing to its staff's zeal to make our stay pleasant and comfy. They really work hard and did their best to serve us perfectly! The food in both restaurants is good, fresh, and tasty. The water park is excellent; the kids enjoyed it greatly. The beds are average and could be better. Some mattresses squeak. There's another hotel on the property, Stella Palace, which definitely has better facilities, especially the pool. Stella Village has its own small sandy beach with free sunbeds and umbrellas. It's not more than okay. The beach doesn't have waves since it's like a basin enclosed by a concrete construction serving as a breakwater. If you're seeking picturesque Crete beaches, it's definitely not the right place. Overall, we had a good stay but with a mixed experience, especially with the room on the first floor.
