Top Hersonissos Hotel Reviews

Lyttos Beach - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Great hotel for vacation with kids. There are pools and a water park, private beach, different restaurants. There are activities for kids (we enjoyed the kids club during the day, family disco in the evening, there's a playground but it's possible to be there only early in the morning or after sundown since there's no shade there and everything's from metal). The foods is great - great options, very diverse, great for the kiddies. In the room, tge air conditioning was very weak ehich was hard since we stayed in August heat, and the water stream in the shower was very weak. In addition, we experienced a few power outages and a water outage in the room. But it came back quickly. Over all, great stay, we enjoyed our time. Would recommend."

Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Staff really make this place. Everyone working at Stella is absolutely outstanding! Hardest working individuals, I’ve met and super friendly. Go above and beyond. Food was great, the only thing I would say is the drinks let it down for me personally. Didn’t enjoy any drinks. Also bare in mind how cosy it is if you want to sunbathe on your deck if you have a swim up room. you literally have people sunbathing in front of you as there are no general pool just the swim up pools so people will be swimming past your room, look into it at all times."
