Arminda Hotel & Spa

Greece Crete Stalis

790 reviews

Arminda is an All Inclusive hotel just outside the resort of Stalis, near Hersonissos, on the north coast of the Greek island of Crete. There's a sandy beach directly below the hotel and it has its own water park with water slides. The hotel has three outdoor swimming pools and two poolside bars. There are also two children's pools. You'll find three long, high water slides for adults and older children, as well as a children's pool with three shorter water slides for kids from four years old, when accompanied by an adult. The splash area consists of two giant water buckets and a variety of other games. There's also a playroom and playground where younger guests can make friends. There's a buffet restaurant where you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the snack bar is open during the day serving tea, coffee and cakes. The hotel has its own spa where you can enjoy a Turkish bath, a dry sauna and a whirlpool. Staff at Arminda also organise aerobics, aqua aerobics, beach volleyball, competitions, disco, karaoke and other entertainment throughout the summer. There's also a gym which the over-16s can use. Wi-Fi is available in the public areas.

From the hotel, it's 150m to sandy Star Beach, via a ramp and a few steps. The centre of Stalis is 1.5km away. It's on the northeast coast of Crete and started out as a small fishing village. However, its white sands, sunny climate and local cuisine have turned it into a popular holiday spot. If you like historical sites, you can visit Hersonissos, 2.9km away. Attractions include the Cave of Zeus and the town's Roman heritage. By day, Hersonissos looks like a quiet seaside town, with a small beach lined with restaurants. But once the sun goes down, it transforms into one of Crete's most popular nightspots.

You can have soft drinks and local wine and beer at lunch and dinner. They're also available at the snack bar and the waterfront pool bar until late. You might like to try the local aniseed drinks raki and ouzo. Snacks are available throughout the day.

There's a kids' club for 4-12 year olds during summer. The water park opens mornings and late afternoons, with a minimum height requirement of 120cm for the slides.

Arminda has several lovely pool areas. A pool area with a pool where you will also find a pool and snack bar. The second pool area is located at the buffet restaurant and features a pool, a children's pool and a poolside bar. A stairway connects these two pool areas. The third pool area is the water park and is heading down the beach. There are three tall and long water slides for the adults and the older children as well as a children's pool with three shorter water slides for the smaller children. The fourth pool is new and has two whirlpools and sun loungers at the water surface.

Rooms at Arminda are light and airy, they also have a safe, TV with satellite channels, fridge and air conditioning.

Could be amazing

Aug 2022 | dave12312

Let me start with the negatives: The items that require paying Greek tax Safety deposit box 10 euros Towels 1 euro each Cleaning towels 1 euro each Cocktails 8 euro ( no hotel options or kids mocktails) General negatives Lack of decent entertainment daily and evening. Kids slide open 10 to 12 and 4 till 6.30 Quality of soft drinks (only local) Private beach owned by next door hotel so no drinks or loungers Positives Rooms Sleep quality Decent aircon Food is good and good selection for kids too Selection of pools Slides Snacks (doughnuts, cakes, popcorn and crepes) Bar plays football or big sport events (women euro final). Beach close with water sports (jet ski, canoeing, banana boat etc) Overall very good hotel, nice staff, just needs to address the negatives as listed above. Heronossiss is only 8 to 10 euro taxi and worth worth a drink on the beachfront.

Nice room (after 1-night nightmare) and boring food

Jul 2022 | raadoo

Nice room (after 1-night nightmare - had to sleep threre and wait for manager to solve a problem. Boring food, could be better and more variety but still quite ok. Clean pools but very bad beach, or I'd rather called it "beach".

Busy, family friendly hotel!

Jul 2022 | Kathryn B

We stayed for 10 days at the Arminda Hotel and Spa, my husband and children, plus my sister and her family and my parents. We had a fantastic family holiday - lots of fun for everyone. There are four very different pool areas, and access to the beach so always somewhere different to go. We had a gorgeous room, and there were speedy (if a little busy in high season) buffet meals three times a day. So much food available all the time! My son loved having chocolate pancakes for breakfast every morning!
