📍 G. Seferi, Hersonissos

"From check-in to check-out, everything went smoothly. The highlight for me was definitely the pool. It was spacious enough to actually swim properly, not just cool off. There were shaded areas as well, which I appreciated during the hotter hours. The hotel felt welcoming and unpretentious, and I left feeling rested. I would happily return for another quiet getaway by the water."

📍 Aposelemis, Aposelemis

"6 of us between the age of 38 and 68 stayed here in May. The area is quiet and not suitable for those looking for more lively atmosphere. It was a relaxation holiday for us and the hotel and staff did a perfect job in every way. The food options here very much focus on quality over quantity. We found buffet food to be fresh and replenished often but sometimes food was not that hot. The food in the a La carte restaurants was amazing! The Lobster ravioli and the T bone steak were my favourite meals. The staff here genuinely care and want you to have a great time. Ranya and Marina in guest relations are brilliant. Ranya knew as a group we would struggle to get booked into the restaurants so did this for us ahead of us speaking to her - great service! Other staff members that made our stay great were Michael, Christian, Abi, Nefeii, Gopell, George and the lads helping run the drinks in the lobby and also the waitresses in the Asian lunch restaurant. The lady in the spa was very friendly she helped us secure spa access every morning for my Dad who needed it for health reasons. The spa is limited to 6 people at any time which means it does not get crowded. Management are present and you can see they are working hard to make the service excellent but at times it is noticeably a hinderance. We sat down for lunch at the Asian restaurant and due to management intervention that day we ended up being served last when we had sat down first because the manager insisted the waitress serve in a certain order. Bit frustrating for staff and customers. We used the spa for a tranquil couple of mornings out of the sun and for a massage. Keep an eye on the app for spa offers, we had a shoulder massage with 1hr spa access for €50, the quality of the treatment was really good and professional. Pool towels and beds are comfortable. Cocktails are freshly made and were nice. The hotel could benefit from a water refill station to save queuing for a drink as quite often we noticed the bar was under staffed for the amount of guests. It would be great if ice cream was freely available like most other all inclusive 4* and above but here it was only available at the a La carte restaurants. Entertainment here is sophisticated and fairly minimal don’t expect Benidorm style entertainment because it’s not that sort of place. We had a comfort double room on the ground floor. Rooms are not very sound proof so take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. There are free shower rooms, fitted with toiletries, towels and hair dryer if you have a late flight and don’t wish to pay €95 for the late checkout. Don’t hesitate to book this you won’t be disappointed!"

"We had an exceptional experience with the wellness services at High Beach Melia Hotel. My wife and I were thoroughly satisfied with the excellent service provided. Pavlos and Viki delivered particularly pleasant and relaxing treatments, making our experience truly memorable. Additionally, Didi's professional approach in arranging a suitable time and space for our session was commendable. We highly recommend their services."

📍 El. Venizelou, Stalida

"The hotel is in a lovely location and the beach is fabulous. The hotel is beautiful but is let down by the food and service . We booked as a family and this hotel lends itself for couples . The children’s pool was closed and the play area is quite dated . They advertised this when we booked which is not fair on families . The main pool is not family friendly at all . We went when the hotel had first opened and they had many problems and in my opinion shouldn’t have taken guests . It was somewhat chaotic regarding rooms not being equipped and the dinning area not really ready . Food is lukewarm and looking at previous trip advisor photos the food is nothing like we received . Found it difficult for young children to find something for them to eat. We found the entertainment to be ok but not child friendly , same as the bar staff as they were quite rude . They would serve other people and completely ignore you . Same on arrival some quests received drinks and we didn’t . The best staff member is the guy on the beach . We spent all holiday at the beach and ate out most nights ."

"We have just returned home from a wonderful week stay at Volta. We arrived and were greeted by Irini the manager with a warm welcome . The hotel is in a beautiful peaceful setting . Our apartment was clean with a well equipped kitchen and lovely overlooking the sea with a nice pool area. All the staff were pleasant and friendly and always happy to help . We have to say thank you to Chrisoula and Svetlana who cleaned our room always with happy smiles . Renata at reception who greeted us every time , whenever we needed her assistance, also with her beautiful smile. The highlight of the holiday was the Cretan night hosted by Irini and her staff. They managed to create a lovely atmosphere with all the guests providing us with yummy food , dancing and much more. Leaving we were also presented with beautiful Cretan hand made gifts , which were a lovely surprise. I would highly recommend this hotel Yamos !!"

"The hotel is a bit dated, it's true... The rooms are too, and the air conditioning is tired. On the other hand, the staff is helpful, friendly, and cheerful. The buffet offers well-prepared and varied food. Drinks are reasonably priced. The hotel is set back from the main road, so it's quieter, and it's about 100 meters from the beach."

"I had the great fortune to stay here for a week with my friend, who had been here 4 times prior to this . It was so beautifully laid out along the beach it had 3 pools ? Several restaurants, a spa and a gym . We were upgraded to a junior suite with such a beautiful view of the beach . The room was lovely , very spacious and very clean . The staff were all so lovely .And nothing was top much trouble. A special shout out to Socrates the barman in the pool bar , he was hilarious and great fun . The food was amazing in the Asian fusion restaurant and Maria was lovely . She remembered my friend from her previous stays and greeted her warmly. They even had a Cat Cafe where the guests could feed the local cats , which really meant a lot to me as I love cats. Everything was perfect. The only small downside was the channels on the TV..they were all in German The majority of people that stay there are German, they were all very quiet and pleasant, but it would have been nice to have a couple of English channels for when we got back to our room in the evening."

Creta Blue Boutique Hotel Hotels in Hersonissos

Creta Blue Boutique Hotel

"We’ve just spent 8 lovely days at this wonderful small hotel. We stayed in an adults only suite which was beyond amazing. Massive comfortable bed, enormous bathroom with twin sinks a large shower and separate bathtub. The photos on the website cannot do it justice! The whole place is kept spotless, the views are amazing and the level of service are the best we’ve known in Greece. We went for the half board option and the breakfast and dinner were of superb quality. However, the main attribute of Creta Blue are the staff. From Mary, our room cleaner to George the owner everyone is one team working so hard for their guests. Special mentions for Maria and Sofia working tirelessly from before breakfast to after lunch smiling and chatting to guests like old friends. Lavinia, the sommelier whose knowledge of wines was second to none and all the other evening staff in the restaurant (too many names to remember, sorry!) everybody was amazing. Most people we spoke to were returning guests, which speaks volumes. Quite simply the most relaxing holiday we’ve ever had. Thank you everyone at Creta Blue"

Alai, Crete, a Tribute Portfolio Resort

"The hotel is clean and well-maintained, both in the rooms and throughout the common areas. The staff, especially at the pool bar and in housekeeping, were very friendly and helpful. The nearby beach was beautiful and easily accessible, and the pool itself was nice, offering a pleasant place to relax – if you managed to get a pool bed! Unfortunately, towels were left on pool chairs for hours every day (sometimes up to three hours) to reserve spots, making it difficult for others to find a place. People would claim chairs early in the morning and then disappear to get ready, eat breakfast, and have a relaxing morning knowing their favorite pool spot was waiting for them. This went against hotel policy, but management did nothing, even after we raised the issue. This made mornings stressful for us, as we didn’t want to reserve chairs unfairly but still wanted to secure a place by the pool. The hotel seems to be expanding, adding more rooms, which might worsen the already overcrowded pool situation in the future. Happy hunting! :) Further, the hotel itself feels poorly designed and built, with some areas seeming unbalanced or awkwardly arranged. Our room lacked attention to detail; many things were crooked or improperly installed. The phone and TV didn’t work properly however they did fix the TV quickly after we mentioned it. There was also an issue of outside noise due to the lack of a door between the hallway and bedroom and at one point, the power was cut off without any notice, leaving us without electricity and water. It turned out to be planned maintenance and not an emergency, so advance notice would have been appreciated. Another major concern was the lack of understanding regarding dietary needs. There was confusion over vegan and vegetarian dishes – one menu labeled dishes as vegan, while another labeled them as vegetarian. When we asked the staff, they treated the two as the same thing. "Vegan, vegetarian? It's the same!" This is unacceptable, especially for guests with allergies, like those to dairy. Proper training for the staff is urgently needed to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests. The surrounding area is heavily touristy and lacks the authenticity one might expect from a more traditional Greek experience. It felt more like a typical charter destination than anything unique or local. In summary, while the hotel has some good qualities, such as its cleanliness, friendly staff, and proximity to a nice beach, several issues need to be addressed – particularly the staff’s understanding of dietary needs and the issue with reserving pool beds, as well as the lack of enough beds for all guests, especially with the upcoming expansion of the hotel. Sadly, we will not be returning."

Glaros Beach Hotel

"We visited this hotel in September 2nd 2025 . Beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting on the beach. We found the staff especially in the restaurant rude and not very friendly. The barman in the upstairs bar was lovely and friendly. There was not enough sunbeds to cater for such a large hotel. The rooms were spotless and the maids did a brilliant job. The lift was very small and slow and was quicker to walk down the stairs which were dangerous slippery. Pool was very cold too. Overall a lovely hotel just spoilt with the unfriendliness of the restaurant staff ."

Semiramis Village

"The good point is that there are always places by the pool, no sunbed wars and the food is good but can be repetetive. The reception is nice and helpful, the hotel is however on a hill and quite far from town centre to walk. The massages in the hotel is one of the best part, we went with our whole family and it was great, so relaxing and peacefull and the massage therapists were amazing and listened to our needs. The bad points is the room. We have a family room and there is no ventilation at all. There is a bad smell in the room all the time and definetly needs renovating. There are barely any entertainments by the pool only rarely."

"An excellent resort hotel – the best of the nearby hotels. We loved everything. The beautiful and well-maintained grounds, the responsive staff, the delicious all-inclusive food, and the well-maintained room with a sea view make us want to return. The only downsides are the gym equipment needs to be updated, and the steam sauna needs to be fixed."

Stella Blue Seaside Resort ★★★★
"This hotel is absolutely stunning .. I stayed here for one week from July 31st with my 16year old daughter and we had an amazing time I’m gutted I’m back home tbh . From the moment we arrived we were greeted at reception and took around 10 minutes to sort the room, a lovely man took our suitcases on the buggy and he drove us to our room which was lovely, We stayed in the luxe swim up room (room 413) which I actually requested as I had seen someone post this room before and I liked the fact that the room was on the end opposite the bar /restaurant and I wouldn’t have to swim across to get there . It was a good choice I have to say, it was a beautiful room very spacious the bed was super comfy and the pools are immaculately clean. Breakfast was so good I have to say my obsession was the hash browns they were the best I’d ever tasted . As we was in the deluxe swim up room we could use the ocean restaurant above the main dinner hall which has the most amazing view of the main pool and the sea along with a saxophone / piano player it really was heaven sitting here, and very calm and relaxed. Lunch was also my favourite and I have to say please try the cheese crocettes that’s something else me and my daughter were obsessed with food was lovely. I’m a bit gutted we never made it to the Asian lunch I went there on a Sunday to try it but it was shut lol then we just forgot about it, Dinner was good we always found something to eat but I have to say my favourite eating part of the day was breakfast and lunch. The drinks were lovely and my daughter lived of ice vanilla latte throughout the whole stay here .. she loved them. This hotel is very relaxed and calm I honestly enjoyed just chilling, my daughter enjoyed this to I was her personal photographer through the whole holiday lol as she’s a social media princess and this hotel is extremely photogenic. She did get bored a few times on our stay so we walked down the road to the right of the hotel and there are some shops supermarkets restaurants etc we also went to the beach across the road which was actually lovely. (Tip) when you go down the steps to the beach go right and it’s less rocky there. We also visited the rescue reptile park in Hersonissos which was really good, you get to hold the snakes reptiles and feed them, We also went shopping in Hersonissos which has loads of shops along that strip,we also visited the spa on the last day and what a stunning relaxing place that is, we paid €20 each to use the pool steam room/ etc. The staff at this hotel can’t do enough for you everyone was friendly helpful and kind, from the management bar staff, to the lovely cleaner we had, sorry I didn’t catch any names but I appreciate you all and they all work very hard. The night before we left on the Thursday there was a party on the beach well that really was a lasting memory of our trip, it was so much fun and the fireworks were amazing, All in all I recommend everyone to go to this hotel everything about"

High Beach White - Adults Only ★★★★★
"The "High Beach White" is an adults-only resort—a place for guests who prefer a quieter atmosphere. We had a room with a private pool. The beds and mattresses were incredibly comfortable. I've never slept so well on vacation. It was heavenly. The resort is very clean, and they make sure it stays that way. All the staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. Sun loungers and parasols are assigned to specific room numbers. The food at the High Beach Buffet Restaurant is varied—there's something for everyone. The "Elia Restaurant" also offers à la carte dining. Brunch is served at 10:30, followed by a three-course menu or snacks from 12:00, and a five-course menu from 18:30 (table reservations required the day before). Absolutely delicious! For guests with UAI (All Inclusive) at the resort, snacks and refreshments are even delivered to their sun loungers. Absolutely fantastic! The evening program features concerts (traditional Greek music), DJs, and dance groups (traditional Cretan dances). If you're looking for relaxation with a touch of luxury, then the "High Beach White" is a must-visit in Malia. It's the place to be! We had a wonderful 14 days and lacked for nothing. A huge thank you to all the staff. Every single one contributed to making our holiday a dream come true."

Volta Seaside Boutique Hotel
"I’ve stayed in countless hotels over the years, and as someone who travels frequently, I rarely find a place that genuinely surprises me. Volta Hotel in Heraklion did exactly that. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the level of hospitality. Every single member of the staff was exceptional. They welcomed me with genuine smiles every day, and you could truly feel that they cared about making every guest’s stay special. Their kindness, professionalism, and warmth are honestly difficult to put into words—it’s the kind of hospitality that you don’t just remember, you feel. The hotel itself is outstanding. The breakfast is absolutely delicious, with a fantastic variety and high-quality options that make every morning something to look forward to. The pool is beautiful, relaxing, and perfectly maintained. Housekeeping deserves special recognition as well—the rooms were spotless every single day, with incredible attention to detail. And the view… simply breathtaking. Waking up and enjoying the scenery from the hotel was one of the highlights of my stay. Volta has set a new standard for what hospitality should be. It’s rare to find a hotel where every aspect of the experience exceeds expectations, but this one truly does. If you’re visiting Heraklion, don’t think twice—this is the place to stay. I can’t wait to come back!"
