Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and palm trees, the elegant and modern Stella Palace is set on a private beach in the traditional village of Analipsis on the northern coast of the popular holiday island of Crete. The luxurious hotel offers stylish accommodation and features two gigantic lagoon-style swimming pools, a wide range of sports facilities and many entertainment options for children. The cosmopolitan town of Hersonissos with its famous nightlife can be reached within a short drive. An ideal hotel for couples and families with children for a beach holiday.
Pamper yourself with a visit to the spa, which offers massages, body treatments and facials. After dipping into one of the 2 outdoor swimming pools, you can spend some time at the private beach. Additional amenities at this hotel include complimentary wireless Internet access, concierge services and babysitting (surcharge).

Best experience for the kids in the kids club
wonderful place!, spotlessly clean, fantastic food, lots to do, all the staff are so lovely, would definitely come here again.
This is our 8th successive visit to Stella Palace and I feel compelled to write this review to share our experience at this establishment in case you are contemplating a visit to beautiful Crete.
We have stayed at a number of hotels over the years and God willing, there will be plenty more holidays in store for us. There’s daylight between what we had at other hotels and resorts compared to Stella Palace.
For me, the staff are the heart and soul of any business. It is within their gift to “make or break” your holiday and for this reason, I want to acknowledge Nefeli and her husband Alexi, Eleni (the lady who is in charge of food preparation in the Poseidon restaurant), Georgo (formerly from the Elia Restaurant), Agapi and Nonda who is a recent addition to the Stella Team. These are just but a few people who I personally identify as individuals who have a genuine desire to make your holiday a memorable and special time.
As a Greek myself, I no longer have any family remaining in Greece however, I am pleased to call these people and many others at Stella Palace as my lovely family in Crete.
The hotel is modern, clean, extremely well presented & maintained, offers a great variety of activities for families, couples and individuals alike. The food is exceptional and you will not be disappointed by the variety and most importantly, the quality and fresh produce on offer. I am certain you will experience the very best Greece can provide at this hotel.
It has indeed been a pleasure to continue visiting the hotel and to catch up with the great staff that work there and I am delighted to be able to share my personal viewpoint with you.
Wishing you all safe travels ahead.

We went to Stella Palace on 13th September travelling with our 21 year old daughter & 16 year old son & had the most fantastic week holiday. All of the staff were excellent particularly at the bars & pleased to serve you each time with drinks. The buffet in the poseidon restaurant was excellent both for breakfast & evening meal. We went to two a la carte restaurant mexican & steak one which were good. The waterpark is great for everyone to enjoy & the cafes & bars within the park are excellent & well equipped to serve you quickly so no time lost sitting down for lunch. Entertainments team are the best we've met at a hotel & very good at encouraging you to join in- we enjoyed the morning volleyball & afternoon waterpolo & daytime music at the bar was good to suit everyone. We went to Heraklion on the bus which leaves outside village hotel each morning at 9.30am & pre ordered 4 pack lunches with restaurant which were good. The only aspect that disappointed slightly if there is one is the showering facilities for late check outs is poor with only 2 rooms available which you have to pre-book & you only have 30mins to shower & change irrespective of the number of persons in your room but overall we had fabulous holiday & would certainly return
