10 All-inclusives in Hersonissos: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 16, 2023 Veronika Gaddis

Sandy, peaceful beaches and ancient ruins beckon travelers to Chersonisos, a one-time Roman port on the island of Crete. This is a family-friendly place, with plenty of activities for kids. The Lychnostatis Open Air Museum gives you the chance to explore the trades and lifestyles of early islanders. Exhibits include a herbarium, olive oil and wine presses and workshops on ceramics, shoe making and weaving. The aquarium showcases local sea creatures, as do the town's many traditional cafes, though in a completely different (and more delicious) manner.

Amazing hotel

Reviewed By Melissa F

We have just returned from a week here. Cannot fault it. Location perfect - just a 20 minute taxi ride from the airport. Everything was immaculately presented at the hotel. Rooms spotlessly clean with toiletries provided. Fully stocked fridge mini bar. Staff friendly. Food excellent - wide choice of restaurants and all of very high standard. The food at the main buffet restaurant was also of high quality with lots of lovely choice. There’s also the bonus of the beach cafe, creperie and snack bar. 3 very clean pools catering for kids, those wishing to relax or for those that preferred music. All pools had a bar serving food. There was evening entertainment every evening and activities in the day if you wanted to join in such as pool Zumba, darts and beach volleyball. The beach is just across the road and there’s a little land train (not related to the hotel) which gives you a 2 hour tour of some of this beautiful island. We’d love to return to the Mitsis Laguna. Highly recommended!

Absolutely beautiful hotel

Reviewed By Mark-hu85

The most beautiful hotel, such a big property but so well maintained. Gardens and walkways are beautiful. Plenty of pools, lovely beach. Traditional in style but not at all dated. The food, even in the buffet restaurants is ridiculously good quality with so much variety. Even snacks at the water park are outstanding. Cocktails are good quality and they don’t hold back on the spirits! Loads for kids to do. A short walk takes you to some nice beach bars if you fancy a walk out (one with a small kids area, perfect for us). I just can’t compliment this hotel and how it is run enough! Would love to return one day.

Stayed in May with family of 8. The resort is fantastic, with great buffet and great al a carte restaurants. There is a water park attached to the hotel which is out of this world, you can spend all day there. Bar staff were brilliant especially the outside bars, were nothing was too much. A bit confusing at first in what bars and eating places you can use if staying at Stella Palace as shared with other Stella hotels. Lovely pools and good amount of sun beds. Highly recommended

The Village Resort and Waterpark

On a hillside above the Cretan coast, within walking distance of Hersonissos town, the Village Resort & Waterpark. The hotel's low-rise buildings are built up the slope, with tree-lined paths and grassed areas between them.

As well as the main outdoor pools, there are two children's pools, water slides and a lazy river. You can have a more relaxed swim in the adults-only swimming pool, which is set on its own at the top of the hill. There's a buggy service on site so guests can have a lift up to the adult pool. As well as the poolside bars, there's a main bar in the hotel and a snack bar for kids serving food and fun soft drinks. There are two restaurants, offering a range of international cuisine.

The town has a choice of bars, clubs and restaurants, as well as an older part further inland. If you want to explore more of Crete, you can rent a car through the hotel reception.

Few let downs

Reviewed By alisone118

The hotel itself was nice and clean and the majority of staff are polite especially the entertainment team and Gina, she was lovely and always stopped for a chat with myself and my daughters. The restaurant staff were also very good, especially in the onsite Italian. The pools can get very busy and it's hard to find beds, we had an incident on one occasion when a game of water polo was being played near us, the ball was knocked over near us several times which resulted in all of our drinks being knocked over and spilling on our clothes, shoes and my bag and almost hitting my daughter in the face twice. When I complained about this I was told it was an activity pool so accidents happen, the lifeguard who was supervising the game didn't even apologise. The food was OK, but not a lot of choice if your not a big meat eater other than salad. I would highly recommend the Italian, we went twice and had amazing food and service ?

Amazing family holiday!

Reviewed By lilywellstead

Wow! We have just returned from 2 weeks in this hotel (May 2022) and we had an absolutely amazing time. I cannot fault this hotel at all it was just the perfect place for our first holiday abroad with our 20 month old. The hotel is gorgeous and so much nicer than the pictures! There was so much to do for both us and my daughter with the kids pools, main pools, huge park and the waterpark which we loved!! Its on the beach also which meant we could have some pool days and then head to the beach for a few hours. The food is excellent, such a variety everyday and something for everyone. The kids disco at night was really sweet too and my little girl loved it. Hersonissos and Stalos are two great towns to visit. Lovely beaches, shops and restaurant's. We booked the larger family room which I would definitely recommend if you have small children as she had so much room to play when in the room and didn't feel cooped up. We had a pool view which was lovely. All the staff are so kind and a credit to the hotel. We will definitely stay here again and plan to bring our family next time. Thank you for an amazing holiday :)

Asterias Village Resort

Asterias Village Resort is located on a prime crossroad of the Hersonissos, Piskopiano and Koutouloufari settlements, offering a unique panoramic view of Hersonissos and the Cretan Sea. That location gives one the opportunity to choose between the dynamic modern developments of the cosmopolitan settlement of Hersonissos, and the traditional culture and architecture of the two beautiful old villages: Koutouloufari and Piskopiano.

Lovely hotel, but beware the steps!!!

Reviewed By Alex R

Lovely, clean, and modern hotel, with friendly staff and really good food (we stayed B&B and there was plenty of choice for all tastes). We stayed in a Superior room which had a kettle and a decent-sized fridge, air conditioning and a balcony overlooking the sea. We had a small issue with the air conditioning unit leaking; the staff resolved it really quickly. Ideally located at the edge of Koutoulafari, which although small has ample bars, restaurants and shops. The hotel is a minute’s walk from the edge of the village. The only downside to this hotel (and I am being very picky here) is that it is situated on a steep hill so you have to deal with a lot of steep steps either to get down to the pool and bar or up the village. People with mobility issues or small children would struggle. Other than that, it was the perfect base for us for our trip.

Good hotel, good location

Reviewed By Sondra P

We rested at this hotel in mid-May from 14-21. We got a corner room with windows on both streets, so we couldn't sleep well because of the poor insulation of the windows, so we asked to change the room. The administration changed the room the next day without any problems. We didn't expect any big miracles, because in Greece 4 * hotels usually correspond to 3 *, so I have no claims for either the hotel or the design of the rooms. The room is tidy, cleaned daily, bed linen is changed as described on the hotel website 2 times a week, the beds are good. The food is very good, fresh and colorful. Cocktails aren’t great, so we bought our own alcohol. The territory is green, supervised. The hotel was home to many older French people, so it was quiet and peaceful enough. We are from the Baltics and the older generation, so it is a bit difficult to communicate in English. We were pleasantly surprised that the hotel has Russian-speaking staff who facilitate communication on current issues. I want to draw attention to DIN, who took care of us during the rest of this hotel. Excellent, professional and attentive employee. The hotel has 3 swimming pools, one for children, the other with salt sea water and the third by the sea. The sun loungers by the hotel’s main swimming pool are tidy, and towels are provided free of charge and changed whenever needed. I missed my hair conditioner in the bathroom, so I had to buy my own. Overall, we had a good rest, without any major worries or problems.
