Stella Village Seaside Hotel

TripAdvisor Review
Greece, Europe
Analipsis

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.

Mixed Feelings

Overall an okay stay but definitely some downsides to staying at Stella Village rather than Stella Palace. The two hotels are connected, the waterpark is open to all Stella hotel guests. Being Stella Village guests, the difference in standard of facilities was painfully obvious. The restaurants, pool area and overall treatment for Palace guests is far superior. Don't get me wrong, the Village facilities are good, but having much better options within touching distance, literally on the same resort, but not for you, put a bit of a downer on our experience. Case in point, we went to the waterpark one day without pool towels as the Village had run out. We saw people collecting towels from the waterpark reception, so went and asked for some, only to be told towels are only for Stella Palace and Stella Island guests. The towels were there, but as we were staying at the Village we weren't allowed to have any. This meant that we had to go without, just because we were staying at the Village. The Stella Palace towels are big, fluffy and branded. The Village towels are smaller, grey, rough, unbranded. These things probably seems silly, but when you're on holiday having spent thousands (Stella Village is hardly a cheap holiday), you don't want to be made to feel like the poor relatives.

Will definitely be returning

We have just returned from a wonderful 7-night stay at Stella Village Seaside Hotel, and I can honestly say it was one of our best family holidays.

I travelled as a single mum with my two 19-year-olds and my 13-year-old daughter. Finding a hotel that keeps everyone happy isn't easy, but Stella Village exceeded all of our expectations. There really was something for everyone.

The food was absolutely amazing, with so much choice every day. Everything was fresh, delicious and varied, and the all-inclusive package was excellent. The cocktails were fantastic too!

The pools and waterpark were brilliant, and there was so much to do around the resort that we didn't even bother booking the excursions we'd planned before we arrived.

What really made our holiday, though, was the incredible staff. Every single member of the team worked so hard and was always friendly and welcoming.

A very special thank you to Fanis in the main restaurant. He was outstanding throughout our stay – always smiling, incredibly hardworking, and nothing was ever too much trouble. He made every meal a pleasure along with the rest of his team.

We'd also like to say a huge thank you to Evridiki at the Filema Pool Bar. She was so warm, friendly and welcoming, always serving everyone with a smile and helping to create such a lovely atmosphere around the pool.

Please also pass on our thanks to all of the waiting staff, bar staff, reception, cleaners and maintenance who were all fantastic. Their hard work never went unnoticed.

Our room was clean and comfortable, the whole resort was spotless, and the atmosphere was perfect for families. We loved every minute of our holiday and came home with memories we'll never forget.

Thank you to everyone at Stella Village for making our holiday so special. We will definitely be recommending your hotel to family and friends, and we very much hope to return in the future. Thanks again, Chantelle

Ein wundervoller und entspannter Urlaub

We had a wonderful holiday at Stella Village. We were 2 adults and 2 children, 8 and 2 years old. The facility is super nice, very well maintained, very spacious and very, very clean. The food is really great in terms of taste and selection and very tasty. The staff be it the waitress, service, bartender and at the reception, really all super friendly, kind, warm and very child-friendly. We will definitely come back and are already looking forward to next year at Stella Village <3. Thanks for everything <3, Greets from Berlin, Mia, Aris, Milo und Eleni

Perfect family holiday

I went with high expectations and was not disappointed. It’s been the best AI family holiday we’ve been on. Yes, I have 3 teenagers who enjoyed their own downtime in the room, but when they did venture out, they had fun in the pools and waterpark. I couldn’t get them interested in the teenager program of activities, they were still focused on younger guests.

Food was perfect. Better than expected for mass catering AI. Freshly baked pizzas, and individual salad items, selection of meats. Only thing that could be improved at meal time for us, would have been the availability of icecream with dinner. But we made up for that during the day from the Scoop and Bite and the waterpark.

All staff were friendly. Room was clean and well maintained.

Kids loved snorkelling off the hotel beach. Nice safe environment for it.

Not much outside the hotel, but that didn’t bother us. It was nice to sit together and play cards in the evening.

The pool party was great fun! Busy but fun.

And the staff helped arrange birthday surprises for the eldest which were lovely.

We all had a fantastic time. And have booked to return next summer.

A few tweaks would make this place perfect

Family of four with 2 boys (15 & 12). Stayed in superior room. Block 400-404. 14 nights from late June. Room was a great location in the complex. Room was ideal. Quirky separate shower and toilet set up, shower door is directly into the main bedroom area. Issue with leaking during use - using a towel at the bottom to force the door more into the shower tray limits the leaks into the room. IMPROVEMENT - slight angle to shower edge to prevent leaking into bedroom when in use.

Shower has shower gel, shampoo and conditioner provided. Handwash and hand cream provided next to sink. IMPROVEMENT- onsite shop start to sell the shower gel/ Handwash/ lotion in the rooms.

Plenty storage for clothes for 2 people and the empty cases. Plenty of power sockets and USB ports. Travel adapter plug sockets affect bedside light switches - best to use the sockets at the dressing table worktops.

Very welcoming and informative check in. First time visitors, treated like friends from day 1. 2am arrival at resort. Lovely cold plates (pasta, sandwiches, fruit) water and soft drinks in the room fridge for us. No bottle opener for the metal bottle tops provided in superior room.

Kettle with tea/ coffee / sugar/ creamer in room. No teaspoons provided in superior room.

Air conditioning easy to use - make sure sliding door and room windows are fully closed. Room safe worked as soon as we entered the room. Any issue may require safe reset by front desk (only available during the day).

Food - the food available at Stella Village was excellent. We have stayed at many all inclusive 4 and 5 star resorts. Stella is on par with 5 star places we have stayed in Tenerife. Smaller trays of well cooked food, not huge catering platters. Food was checked and replaced frequently. Salt and pepper on all tables to adjust seasoning to your own tastes. Stand outs - breakfast - omelettes, waffles, grilled veg, fresh fruit and Greek yogurt options. Lunch - pizzas/ pasta, salad offerings, gyros. Dinner - soups, roast meat and fish, side veg, dessert options. The staff in the restaurants are all friendly and work extremely hard.

Poolside bar - staff are really good fun, work extremely hard.

Pools - pool set up is organised. We tended to stay around the animation pool, where the aqua gym was held. IMPROVEMENT- if sunbeds were allocated to rooms it would prevent frustration from people who like a longer sleep on holidays.

À la carte restaurant- we had an issue with the food during our first week booking therefore cancel our second week booking for the à la carte. If staff here had dealt with this better, we may have kept our second booking. This was the only downside of our stay.

Waterpark - from our experience the staff kept strict but polite adherence to height restrictions. The set up is fantastic. The food at the water park is varied. More snack bar than restaurant style but all cooked well, can be personalised to remove items from burgers or gyros.

Animation team - the team are great but not pushy. Activities are ongoing from mid morning. Our boys loved the football (arranged for late afternoon). They met good friends from different countries.

Ice cream hut - the ladies in this hut provide our sweet treats from mid morning. Ice cream, pancakes, waffles, small selection of wraps, sandwiches, cakes. This was one of our favourite places to visit after lunch.

Cleaners - if do not disturb is selected, fresh towels and water are left outside room. If please clean room is selected, room is cleaned.

Onsite shop - the shop stocks most things you would need. Larger market outside complex and others a short walk into town.

Late check out is difficult in summer. We booked shower room. Room is extremely hot, no air conditioning. If there is an option, ask for the shower room access outside reception, not the shower in reception.

The staff throughout the resort work extremely hard and really made our holiday.

We had a fabulous holiday and have booked to return.
