Recommendation for excellent hotels in Crete

Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa

Want to vacation at a five-star all-inclusive hotel with excellent amenities, luxurious rooms, great food, and a water park? Read my recommendation for Stella Place

Want to vacation in a great and cheaper 4-star all-inclusive hotel that your teenage and toddler children will really enjoy, as well as you, including a water park? Read my recommendation for Stella Village.

The three STELLA hotels are located in an area called Analipsi, which is on the north coast of Crete, about a fifteen-minute drive east of Heraklion airport, so in terms of convenience, their location is very convenient, whether you rent a car, take a taxi from the airport or book a transfer from the hotel. All the hotels are very good and even excellent. They all have an excellent score on Booking.com, a site with verified ratings, meaning only those who actually booked and paid can rate the hotel, and not those who rate on behalf of the hotel owners. 

I’ll start with the cheapest one,  STELLA VILLAGEThis is a four-star all-inclusive hotel. It has a pool for adults, a pool for the little ones with lots of water games and activities, and a well-designed play area. An excellent dining room and another restaurant that is open during the day. The rooms have been renovated, and be careful not to book the so-called room because these are the rooms that have not yet been renovated. Across the road is the hotel’s beach, which is protected by a breakwater, so it is really suitable for families with children. For more details about the hotel, click
