Hersonissos

"The people and place were welcoming and helpful. From dealing with a medical emergency to finding a last minute ride to the airport, our hosts could not have been more lovely. They accommodated us more then enough and treated us like family/close friends. We loved our down time at the villa in the swimming pool and on the amazing verandas, and strolling the streets of the village throughout the day was peaceful and picturesque. The a/c splits worked well to cool most rooms, and the kitchenette...

"Staff and food are incredible - massive shout out to Stella, Ionna, Pat, Vasilios and the guys from the bar - all great and couldn’t do enough. The spa is gorgeous with lovely treatments. Drinks are good but if you only drink premium branded liquor then expect to pay - the drinks were nice otherwise but we did pay in the evenings for a nice bottle of wine or premium cocktail. We will definitely be back as it was 100% a 5 star experience. A beautiful resort run by lovely people."

"This is no 5* star hotel. Superficially the hotel looks fine especially in the promotions, however in reality the facilities were poor and food was cold and uninspired. Rooms barely cleaned daily and amenities in room not replaced. The little touches of your normal 5* were not at this hotel. Had booked half board but gave up and ate out . Would recommend the Medsa and Island Restaurant (this is unrelated to the hotel)"

Top Elaia Hotel Reviews

Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Staff really make this place. Everyone working at Stella is absolutely outstanding! Hardest working individuals, I’ve met and super friendly. Go above and beyond. Food was great, the only thing I would say is the drinks let it down for me personally. Didn’t enjoy any drinks. Also bare in mind how cosy it is if you want to sunbathe on your deck if you have a swim up room. you literally have people sunbathing in front of you as there are no general pool just the swim up pools so people will be swimming past your room, look into it at all times."

Phāea Cretan Malia, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful resort with a gorgeous beach and wonderful restaurants. It’s very quiet and has a lot of families with young children. The rooms are spacious with nice balconies and I would stay here again if I ever go back to Crete."

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, the staff was helpful, the breakfast was excellent. It was very well located."

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An Excellent Hotel at the center of Iraklion Staff is professional & kind so as welcoming Breakfast is wow !!! Pool is very nice at the 6th floor I’m recommending this hotel for a perfect experience!"

Peninsula Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Perched right between two stunning beaches, this resort delivered an unforgettable getaway for our whole family. Keeping a teenager and a young adult thoroughly entertained is no small feat, but the animation team absolutely smashed it! From high-octane water polo and pool volleyball matches to competitive stage darts, the daytime energy was electric. Evenings were just as lively, packed with discos, karaoke, dance events, and an incredible Cretan cultural dance night that was easily the highlight of the week. If you venture off-site, the watersports are a must, especially the Crazy Sofa for pure adrenaline! The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming from start to finish. The food was consistently delicious with a wide selection, capped off by fantastic desserts and cakes. Plant-based milk options for morning coffees and great drinks at both the restaurant and pool bar were a big plus. Clearer dietary and allergen labeling, especially on the central buffet islands, would make the dining experience even smoother. Our family suite was wonderfully spacious, impeccably maintained, and treated to fresh towels and great toiletries throughout our stay. Waking up to the gorgeous, sweeping view over Mononaftis beach never got old. As our first-ever all-inclusive experience, it set a high bar. We would return in a heartbeat to recharge and unwind!"

Abaton Island Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"the room was clean and nice the staff were excellent , breakfast was very good the poo; in the room and the sea view was wonderful , the restaurants were very tasty except the WOW restaurant that was very very expensive (we had to add a lot , even we paid HULF BOARD ) BONY FISH WAS EXCELLENT BUDHA WAS EXCELLENT GOOD VIBES."

Agapi Beach Resort - Premium All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"A beautifully maintained resort with great amenities, though room logistics could be smoother. Overall, the resort was beautiful and well-maintained. The location is convenient, with several shops and restaurants within walking distance. Most of the staff were helpful and welcoming, though a few felt slightly distant—perhaps due to a language barrier, as I do not speak Greek. Our stay had a rocky start when our reserved room wasn't available on the first night. I was placed in a bungalow and told it was an upgrade. However, once I moved into my actual reversed room the next day, I realized the reserved room was significantly better. It was modern, upgraded, and featured a wonderful view, whereas the bungalow's (room 654) view was largely blocked by a large tree. Additionally, the bathroom sink water had a strong, unpleasant odor throughout my entire stay. The dining experience was typical for a resort—a mix of great, average, and mediocre options. My friends and I dined at the main buffet and the Italian restaurant, enjoying both. They offered a wide variety of choices, and the bread, crepes, lamb, and drinks were personal highlights. The pool & beach areas were kept spotless, with attentive staff ensuring guests were comfortable. A special shoutout goes to the spa team, especially Erika and her colleague, who were incredibly friendly and kind while booking guests around the property. Tip: The bungalow featured an international converter outlet that should added to all rooms."

Village Heights Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property, clean and very well managed. Staff went out of their way to make sure we had an enjoyable stay. Fantastic all inclusive with choice of places to eat, and snacks served all day."
