The best available hotels & places to stay near Hersonissos
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.

Absolutely beautiful hotel
Reviewed By Mark-hu85The 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.

Mitsis Laguna Resort & Spa lies on the beach of Anissaras in the area of Hersonissos in Crete. It is a majestic and luxurious five-star hotel with a state of the art Wellness Spa that provides premium service. Guest accommodation in this five-star resort includes 351 luxurious rooms, consisting of 180 bungalows (34 of which shape a small island, surrounded by a lake and the rest are family bungalows), 90 beautiful sea view and garden view rooms, 79 superior rooms in the main building, and 2 presidential suites with a private pool for each. A number of infrastructures and facilities such as meeting rooms, tennis courts, beach volley, mini soccer court, gym, 3 seawater swimming pools, a kid’s pool, water slides etc. make the hotel an entertainment paradise for guests of all ages. The hotel places great importance on high quality gastronomy, as guests can try various gastronomic selections in the resort’s seven restaurants and 4 bars. The point of reference though is the unique sense of hospitality and the high standard of service in every guest encounter.
Amazing hotel
Reviewed By Melissa FWe 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!

Plenty of choices of food, very tasty (Apfel strudel, OMG!!!). George and staff very attentive and make everyone welcome. Reception staff always helpful. We had a car but still used courtesy bus to go to old town and new. Well located for journeys easy and west. We love Elounda and Plaka and Agios Nikolais is well worth a visit.

Amazing Resort
Reviewed By Paul RStayed 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

Amazing holiday
Reviewed By peytonw899Myself and my Partner stayed at the Nana Princess for a week, we felt welcomed from the moment we walked through the doors. I was 32 weeks pregnant and they couldn’t have done enough for me, all the staff were very friendly and constantly making sure I had everything I needed. We would also like to say a big thank you to ‘Konstantinos’ at the pool bar, he was such a generous and kind man who went out of he’s way to make our time there extra special. Every staff member did everything they could to make our stay perfect, for example making me steak at the seafood restaurant so we were able to have a beautiful sea view for dinner. We also visited the spa while on our stay which was out of this world, my partner said he has never had such a relaxing experience, ‘Angelous’ gave the most deep and amazing massage. We already cannot wait to book again but for longer, I honestly couldn’t recommend this hotel enough.

Casa Blu …What an amazing gem, tucked away.
Reviewed By annsharp2016We arrived on 7/6 for a week. An amazing hotel, no children perfect, quiet, live music several times during the week. The lunchtime food didn’t disappoint. The rooms are boutique style with everything on hand. The jewel in the crown are the staff(including the cleaner) so helpful and personable nothing was too much trouble. 5 minutes from a great selection of tavernas and local shops too. We will definitely be returning.

Almost perfect
Reviewed By Honest_CraigCTwo adults and our 6 year old son had the pleasure of staying in a family room with individual pool booked through JET2 for 10 nights from 28th May. The hotel is amazingly clean as you would expect in a five star resort and the sister hotel next door was too. The food and drink was fantastic and was available pretty much all day from one place or another from 07:30 through to 21:30. Try the wok and chopsticks as the food in there was great and the lady waitress was fantastic but if forgot her name :-(.Please note that you can only book once per 7 days! This wasn’t clear when we booked the holiday. Fortunately the food everywhere else was great. If you have kids then you will spend a lot of time (I would imagine) next door at the Lyttos Beach water park that starts up at 09:45. If you do have kids you may want to consider actually staying there as it definitely seemed more family/kid friendly. As all the kids clubs are ran from that hotel.You can easily get a sun lounger and there is no need to reserve like some people were doing. The hotel caters more towards our German friends but everything is in English. For example, the kids disco - whilst they spoke in English, the songs were clearly German as we had no idea what was going on but the German families clearly knew the songs/moves etc. - understandable as I would say 90% of the guests were German from what I could pick up. Not an issue though all good fun. We used the spa treatments and although pricy, were very good in fantastic facilities. The gym and pool area looked great but we didn’t make use of these. There is a small shop but it’s way overpriced…take a little walk down the sea front to the right for much more choice and value for money. We hired a car from the guys on the front desk and the car was great without any issues although the guy offered one price the night before and then the lady altered it the day after and the car we thought we were getting was altered at the last minute so just be careful and only pay once you know for sure what you are paying for. You will read some reviews about the service being a bit slow or poor and to be honest it is slightly, but I could see there was lots of training new staff so I can see this improving shortly. The best staff that were attentive to us were Ewelina in the main restaurant, she is by far the best server as she is attentive and friendly which unfortunately isn’t to be said for everyone - some look annoyed whilst doing their jobs and some just walk straight past your dirty plates/glasses from a previous course which was very poor for 5 star hotel. Another good staff member is Marina in the main bar, she will make you the most lovely cocktails and serve them up much more quickly than one of the guys who asks you what you want whilst still serving the person in front and then forgets what you want so you have to repeat yourself which is utterly mind-boggling! Some of the materials used don’t lend themselves well to being wet - for example in the toilets under the lift/elevator area. I’m not sure if there is anything that can be done but the floors there are lethally slippy. I would like to come back here but would like to see some of the reviews confirm that the hotel has addressed some of the concerns mainly surrounding the service levels of previous reviewers. Once this is sorted it would be truly perfect. One other area for improvement is that we had to search out every bit of info. No info pack in the room, no phone numbers etc. no info on when the pools operate, when the restaurants operate and what themed evenings they had on and where to reserve a table. No room service info either. Nothing about what entertainment was on and where. We found an easel round the other side of one pool that we just never walked past on the last day but I had asked for the info from guest services but if I hadn’t then this was supposedly the means by which they expected everyone to know what was happening with the entertainment. It would be good if info could be put through the television sets, that way it’s easily updatable and you can see what’s happening and when…like they do on cruise ships ;-). Overall, very good and wouldn’t have an issue recommending.
