- Stella Village Seaside Hotel

The excellent beach hotel Stella Village enjoys a privileged location in Analipsi, only 10 metres away from a private sandy beach. The renowned holiday resort of Hersonissos can be reached within a 10-minute drive. Heraklion, the island's capital where most of the museums as well as an international airport can be found, is just a 20-minute drive away. The hotel provides quick access to highways. The family-friendly hotel offers a range of accommodation types, from rooms to apartments and bungalows. They are bathed in natural light, airy and spacious, and features include air-conditioning, fridge and lateral sea, mountain or garden views. Children will love the mini-club, playground and the 3 children's pools. There are 2 large swimming pools for adults, internet corner and WIFI in the main building, sports facilities as well as two fantastic restaurants and two poolside bars. A wonderful hotel for a family holiday under the Greek sun.
From start to finish I cannot fault this place.
We arrived very late but were greeted by a happy smile on reception.
We were taken to our family superior room. Our bags were bought into our room for us.
As the restaurant was closed we had some light snacks and bottled water in the fridge.
Rooms were cleaned each day with clean sheets and towels.
Everyone around the hotel from entertainment, restaurant and the little shop by the pool was fantastic.
Watermark was a massive hit for my children. Good choice of snacks.
The only thing we found was that if we wanted a subbed then we would have to get up early. Never had a problem getting one at the water park though .
All in all though a great holiday!
For reference we stayed in the village.
So this has got to be one of about 10 all inclusive, warerpark family hotels we've been too. I have to say - overall its the best. !!!!! The food, drink, pools, waterpark, park and entertainment are fab. The service at the pool bar and kids club needs an extra shout out. Georgis, maria and aggelos from the pool bar were fab. Although I do think the less friendly service was from the management. :( All at the kids club we're amazing and the manager was just as great!!! Additionally, the access to beach with loungers and drinks is an added bonus. The beach a short walk away was surprisingly nice with clear waters, sandy beach and watersports.
The beds around the pools were the most comfy yet and the kids loved the beanbags. I didnt think getting a bed around 10am was an issue but do think people take the piss hogging beds and barely using them ( like they do everywhere) I was surprised there's more pools than expected. In total 4 rectangular ( 1 by filimino), 1 kids with sprays etc and a larger deeper oval one with floating sunlongers through it.
The waterpark food is fab. Cocktails limited but I understand why. Just ashame there are no bigger slides available for those between 110cm and 120cm.
There's essentially 4 slide frameworks. *1 small for under 5s. *1 bigger one which is good BUT 2 of the slides say 120cm.... i dont think thats needed!!!?? Maybe should be revised to 110cm. *Then theres one for 120cm+ and one for 140cm+.
I do think kids 110-120 should be able to use double ring slides with a teenager/ adult ( atleast) My kid 118CM. He swims great and loves big thrill slides...this was such a shame because essentially he missed out.
Just a few niggles or maybe few changes would make this place better.
*THE APP. My teenager went to meet at water park twice for the teenzone waterpark fun. It turned out meeting point is ampitheatre. :( He also went for bubble party- it didnt happen. Maybe this change will bring teens together more for socialising. *The Monday fortnightly pool party- should be weekly in summer holidays.
But thats it really.....the place is brilliant!!!!
Just a note... the evening entertainment is very loud so if u have kids who you put to bed before midnight. Request a quiet room because rooms close to the pools are sooooooo loud even with doors shut.
Id defo say book it!!!
Stella Village hotel was absolutely amazing. It was clean and tidy all the time. The staff were friendly and helpful all the time and you were always greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome. The facilities were also brilliant from arriving up to leaving. There were 6 pools at our disposal including a park and the beach on the doorstep. We had access to the waterpark whenever we wanted which my son absolutely loved. The children’s entertainment was good and they go that extra mile by offering children’s holiday shirts personalised with their names on which was a really lovely touch. Around 200 meters up from the hotel you could see the turtles which was amazing and due to the blocked off bit of beach you were able to swim at ease without worrying about the current and waves. The food for all inclusive was good, you didn’t have much choice compared to some hotels however the quality was good. The room was perfect for what we needed. It was clean and tidy on arrival the the cleaners did a great job making sure it was clean and tidy every day. The front desk staff were also amazing. Always happy to help with questions and queries. The hotel also accommodate those with a late collection with a shower room and continued use of the all inclusive right up until you leave. All in all it was a fantastic holiday and I would recommend it to others!
WHAT.A.PLACE! 💙
We absolutely loved Stella Village! What a wholesome, welcoming place. We enjoyed our two weeks to the fullest and honestly didn’t want to leave!
The hotel itself is clean, cozy and fairly modern. Our room was comfortable and up to standard, with good air conditioning. Everything felt well maintained and made for a very relaxing stay.
The food and drinks were definitely one of the highlights. The restaurant team was always helpful, friendly and kind, and there was a great variety of food throughout our stay. The bars also had a wide selection of non-alcoholic cocktails, which was perfect for us.
And then there is Stella WaterLand! As Stella Village guests, we had access to the pools and the amazing waterpark at Stella Palace.
Oh, what fun we had! We practically spent our days there from opening until closing. There was something for both kids and adults, from slides and pools to all the other water attractions. The park also has a snack area with burgers, gyros, falafel, salads, fruit, ice cream and more, so you can easily spend the whole day there without having to leave.
Just across the road is the hotel’s beach, with sunbeds, umbrellas and a bar. The water was warm and the sand was pleasant.
Another big plus for families is the Kids Zone. You can either join your child for some creative fun or let them spend time there making things, playing and discovering new activities with the AMAZING team.
And although we absolutely enjoyed our days, the evenings deserve a mention too! Every day brought a different show and, of course, mini disco. We really loved the whole animation team! such a kind, friendly and open group of young people.
Andrea, Carla, Clara, Clem, Mike and Denis, you were amazing! ❤️
You made everyone feel involved, and our child simply loved you. You really helped make our holiday special.
Of course, there were a couple of small things that could be improved.
Our room had a bathtub with shower doors that leaked. The helpful maintenance team tried to fix the problem, which we really appreciated, but in our opinion it would be even better to replace the bathtub with a modern walk-in shower.
And one small suggestion for the menu: please add even more Greek options! We love the mixed grill, gyros and other Greek dishes, and would have happily eaten even more local specialties
All in all, we had an absolutely fantastic two weeks. Stella Village really delivers the kind of family holiday where everyone can find something to enjoy.
We can DEFINITELY recommend Stella Village to families with children
And honestly… I have a feeling we’ll be back next year!
