“Best holiday experience ever!”

Well, what can I say to emphasise how amazing Stella village is. I’ll start with the rooms.we had a family room with a terrace overlooking palm trees rock sculptures and lots of privacy.the room had everything you needed.air con Kettle, coffee machine and a fridge topped up with bottled water everyday. The beds are so comfortable my grandson said it was like sleeping on clouds. , Next, the pools.. everywhere you look there is a pool. Amazingly comfy sun loungers all around the pools and a pool bar. The food. Food was plentiful and lots to choose from. The staff. This is where I would say from previous Holidays around Europe, the staff are truly amazing and the best I’ve ever encountered.. nothing too much trouble for them. Happy and smiling all the time and lots of lighthearted friendly banter.. by the time your holiday ends here you feel like you’re leaving a family behind. My first time holidaying in Greece and it wont be my last. Stella village, you’ve been amazing and I cannot wait to return next year. Thank you all.

“Holiday Experience at Hotel Stella Village, Kreta”

It was a wonderful holiday experience at Stella village. Even in the first week of November we were lucky to have a good weather in Kreta. Food is excellent. I am a vegetarian, even for me there were satisfying options to choose from. The staff in Stella village are very friendly. They have a very good sports facility. Especially for children they have so many activities. Except you are the type of person, who finds out one or the other dissatisfaction in everything, you cannot complain about anything here. I absolutely recommend this hotel for your holiday. - Sadananda Chandrashekaraiah

“a fantastic place for a family holiday”

We stayed at the hotel as a family and had a wonderful time! The hotel offers a very pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Despite the wide range of activities and facilities, it is surprisingly peaceful and relaxing. There is an excellent variety of sports activities, and the water park is fantastic. The slides are great fun for all ages – not just for the kids! The staff deserve special praise: everyone was extremely friendly, attentive, helpful and quick to respond to any requests. The hotel was very clean and well maintained throughout our stay. The food was very good, with plenty of variety and lots of fresh ingredients. We also really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the varied evening entertainment, which offered something for everyone. Overall, a fantastic place for a family holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel!

“October break week”

Good location right on the beach with lovely views over to doe island, great sunsets. Not much around but only a short walk up to main road where you could get a bus to almost anywhere. Atmosphere in hotel was good especially around pool bar, staff at this bar work so hard and are always pleasent. We had room 305 ground floor not far from reception, a bit noisy at night as the main walk way to some of the bungalows Room was tired, a concrete box, reminded me of the old butlin/pontins chalets, behind toilet was the store room for linen etc and at 0630 on the dot everyday we got woke up by the staff going in there chattering to each other before starting there rounds. Food was terrible, breakfast cerals, fruit, bread, jams and spreads were good and there was cooked breakfast foods. Some of the food at lunch and dinner was inedible full of oil, it was repetitive in both restaurants. Waterpark and pools couldn’t fault
