Europa Beach Hotel

Just back from a two-week stay at the Stella Blue, and we had a lovely holiday The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are spacious, modern, and very comfortable. The showers are amazing, although the glass is clear, so there's not much privacy if you're sharing with friends. A frosted section on the glass would definitely be a good addition.

During your stay, you can visit both the Ocean and BLE restaurants once per week, and we really enjoyed both. BLE offers a snack bar menu where you can sit down and order from a menu, as does the Asian restaurant by the other pool. The food at both was excellent.

The main restaurant was nice too, although it did become a little repetitive after two weeks. I'm quite a fussy eater, but I always managed to find something I enjoyed, especially the desserts!

I was pleasantly surprised by the entertainment. After reading some reviews, I expected the evenings to be very quiet, but the hotel is clearly making an effort to offer more activities. There was a beach party on Thursdays, saxophone and violin performers, a DJ by the pool, and water aerobics during the day.

The pools are lovely, but just be aware they're saltwater rather than freshwater, which I hadn't realised before arriving.

The sea views and sunsets from the hotel are absolutely stunning.

If you walk to the right of the hotel, you'll find a few bars, restaurants, and supermarkets on the way to Analipsi village. If you fancy eating out, I highly recommend Sirtaki Tavern in the village. It's a family-run restaurant where they make you feel so welcome, and the food is amazing.

If you're looking for a bit more nightlife, ask reception to book you a taxi. It's around €15 each way for a 10–15 minute journey into Hersonissos, where you'll find plenty of bars, restaurants, and a livelier atmosphere.

Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would happily return. If you have any questions about the hotel or the area, feel free to ask—I'd be happy to help

My partner and I had an amazing 1 week stay at Stella Blue and honestly didn’t want to leave. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome and pointed us straight to the buffet so we could eat before it closed.

The buffet food was delicious, and there was always something simple, like bolognese, if you didn’t fancy anything else. I liked the variety of dishes available, although I do think there could be a few more options in the evening. Breakfast was really delicious —I thoroughly enjoyed it and definitely had at least three hash browns every day! 😆

Both à la carte restaurants were fantastic, and the food was amazing. I’d recommend booking your slots as soon as you can because they fill up quickly. The views from both restaurants are gorgeous and really add to the overall experience.

Our room was spacious, modern, and clean. People highly recommend the swim-up rooms, and while I do think they’re probably worth the extra cost if you don’t want to go far for beds, they’re definitely not essential if you’d rather save some money. We stayed in a standard room and thought it was perfect. We also never had any trouble finding sun beds, even when leaving our room around 10am, as there were still plenty available.

The bed in the room was incredibly comfortable, and the shower was brilliant. The only thing to note is that the shower door is completely transparent, so if you’re travelling with family or friends, there isn’t much privacy.

The whole resort was beautiful and perfect for aesthetic photos, with some lovely (saltwater) pools and a relaxing atmosphere in the evenings. The cocktails were delicious too, so make sure you try as many as possible! The staff were always attentive and helpful if I had any questions.

If you want to go for a walk along the beach, turning right takes you to a small strip with a few restaurants and cocktail bars. We also recommend going to Sirtaki Tavern if you’re looking for a nice meal away from the resort. The food there was beautiful. Just ensure you make a reservation early as it fills up quickly.

Overall, we had such a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, and Stella Blue exceeded our expectations. We would definitely return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic place to stay. If you have any questions or want some more pictures just let me know! I hope this review helps!

The best hotel my husband and I have been to in 10 years! From the moment we arrived to leaving, the staff couldn’t do enough for us! The hotel room, (we had a luxe swim up room) was amazing, the food in the buffet restaurant and the two al a carte restaurants were out of this world, delicious! The cleanliness, facilities, everything was definitely a 5*. We have been to many all inclusive hotels from Lanzarote to Mexico but this was by far the best! We will definitely be returning again.
