"The staff was warm, smiley, and courteous. There was an issue with the room, and it was handled quickly and efficiently. The rooms were spacious and clean. The hotel owner was a pleasant person who came to talk with us, gave us tips on where to travel, and asked for our suggestions on how to improve the hospitality. It was definitely an excellent experience in Crete, and we will surely return there next time."

"This is not Greece! As soon as we saw the hotel we left. Very commercialized, and nothing like Greece, if that’s what you want than you will love it but we were looking for something totally different."

"A lot of ants inside the room. We needed to pay for the air conditioning 8€ per day which is not in the description. We stayed 3 days and the day after we asked for towels change then they said they change towels every 2 days. After 2 days we asked for new towels then I had to hear that i got only 1 day left before check out and they don’t charge towels when we got only 1 day left. Really weird rules. "

"Excellent hotel. Accommodated for our group of nine to the highest standard. The hotel was exactly what we wanted and is represented extremely well by the pictures.
Most importantly, the staff were incredible in making sure we had everything we needed and handled our group with so much respect. They were all so friendly and happy to assist with anything, always greeting us on our way in and out of the hotel.
Visit this place, it’s amazing!"

"Ein tolles Apartment mit Klima und Smart TV. Mit großer Terrasse und Blick aufs Meer und den Hafen.
Nach einer Woche bekamen wir neue Bettwäsche und neue Handtücher.
Auch wenn der Pub unterhalb lange geöffnet hat war es im Zimmer nicht zu hören."

"We had a fantastic stay at this property! The location was perfect—right in the heart of Old Town, surrounded by great restaurants and cafés, and just a short walk to the main strip. It’s close enough to enjoy all the fun, but far enough to escape the loud music at night, which was a huge plus.
The apartment itself was spotless and had everything we needed. It was spacious, comfortable, and even had direct USB ports for charging our phones—super convenient!

"Very clean and accommodating resort, short of no amenities. Staff are extra attentive and make you feel extremely comfortable especially when travelling with kids.
Staff are amazing - arrived early and they did everything they possibly can to get the room ready well ahead of check in time which was great.
Daily buffet changes offering a huge variety of food even for the fussiest eater."
"We had the most relaxing, amazing stay at Stella island! The staff looked after us so well from the second we arrived and the food at the different restaurants was incredible. We will definitely be returning in the future!"
"Food was unexpectedly great! Lots of tasty and diverse options on both breakfast and dinner. The grill station is to be avoided. The deserts chef is a genius!!"
"Nice beach location and close to bars and restaurants. Excellent front desk crew. Buffet was good and outdoor bar area was chill. Small rooms with nice balconies and view. More pool chairs and umbrella would be nice as they all get towels thrown down to be held and people don’t come back for hours, my only complaint. Plenty of beach chairs."
"The most impressive was quality of food in buffet and the 3 restaurants. It's also perfect for families with kids.
Cleaning was good, but missed some spots occasionally. The rooms are descent sized, comfy beds, bathroom was a bit small, but not a problem.
What made stay great was that it was such a compact resort, but somehow they have "hidden the rooms" so it doesn't feel crowded. Beach is great, with plenty of chairs, pools the same.
Amazing place for kids, as they kept meeting new friends, and parents could relax with a good overview pools and beach areas. Kids club had good opening hours and nice staff.
Some staff members were excellent, some average, but they were all helpful with the kids.
Food was beyond expectations. Top ingredients cooked very well.
Exceptional value for money.
What could be improved- Though most food was included, a couple of dishes needed extra payment. No roomservice was included in the Effortless package, but the ice cream shop was. There were 2 Wine lists, Effortless (all inc) + regular. The regular was available everywhere, the full effortless only in restaurants. In Bars only 3 wines, but all drinks included. Wine selection on effortless wine list could be improved, but a couple of good wines so no issues. Did not like shampoo and shower gel at all.
Overall, for what we paid, we feel we received great value, our kid met so many new friends it was a great vacation for all. Will definitely be back."
