“Stella Palace Aqua Park Resort makes an emphatic statement for family vacations, in my view, primarily because of the scale and quality of its included water park - easily capable of occupying children (and adults) for days. Beyond the obvious draw, I noticed the resort dedicates itself to comprehensive service, considering everything from late-night arrival snacks to specialized dietary needs. The breadth of dining options prevents monotony, while the attentiveness of the staff elevates the stay from simple convenience to genuine hospitality.”

Stella Palace Resort & Spa felt like a true second home, offering incredible amenities and friendly staff who made our stay exceptional. The water park was a highlight for my kids, and the spacious family room was perfect for our needs. However, while we enjoyed most of the meals, I found the buffet somewhat lacking compared to other places we've stayed, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, we had an amazing time and I can't wait to return next year!

The hotel has some beautiful aspects, such as the pools and overall grounds, but the experience was marred by the quality of the rooms and the dining chaos. I appreciated the friendly staff and variety of activities, but I found the dining area quite chaotic and the rooms in need of an upgrade. The location is decent, but there's not much to explore without transport, and overall, I think it's not truly deserving of a 5-star rating.

The resort is an excellent choice for families, offering a range of amenities and a welcoming atmosphere. The kids' club is particularly engaging, thanks to the staff's dedication and kindness. However, while the food service is commendable and diverse, the beverage quality could use improvement. The rooms, although spacious, are in need of some refreshment to truly match the expectations of a five-star resort.

I had an incredible experience at this hotel. The staff were incredibly attentive, and the dining options were diverse with superb quality, especially the Cretan dishes. The only downside was the occasional noise from other guests, and the location was a bit quiet for those seeking nightlife. Overall, it felt like great value for money with fantastic amenities and pools to enjoy.

Our family had a fabulous stay at the hotel, with lots of activities for the kids and ample space for everyone to relax. The water park was a big hit with the younger ones, and the dining options were very enjoyable, particularly the themed nights. However, while the service was attentive, the dinnertime experience could have been improved with a bit more variety. Overall, it's a great family destination!
