Star Beach Village & Water Park

Chris Petryna

We had an excellent trip in early April. The resort is very family friendly with a huge buffet that offered something for each of our kids, along with the separate Hot dog/burger/pizza and pancake/waffle and other snacks bars that were also enjoyed. The resort is well spaced so the room blocks aren't too crowded by each other. Before arriving we thought the water slides, pools and more were further apart from each other but it's a short walk all around from your rooms. It was off peak in early April so we probably avoided a lot of crowds, and got to enjoy the beaches and pools without their being crowded. I'm not sure what peak season is like though there's lots of loungers and more pools available. Good WiFi throughout, clean room. Most of the staff are very friendly. Pool water is cold as a warning, more an issue for the adults I found as kids just jump in. Limited selection of drinks can get boring after a while. Convenience store on site is expensive but you can blow up your own inflatable with their air pump so that's nice. Decent Spar across the road for your random item or other food needs. It would be nice to have a morning take away coffee option. That's about all the negatives I can find, we had a great trip.

Family holiday, with two children (4 and 1), mum, dad and grandad. The complex is very large, with a great choice of pools, play areas and bars/restaurants dotted all around. Food was pretty good, We always managed to find something for everyone. The pools are excellent and there is access to a beach which is shallow enough for toddlers but spoilt by tons of seaweed. Overall, a really nice place and a lovely holiday.

Had an amazing holiday here! The food was amazing! The pools were awesome and the staff were great! We loved the rooms also! The only issue we had was there was a private villa (not star beach) next to us and they played really loud music and sung and shouted until 2 am every day. We barely slept which really ruined the holiday. We did ask the front desk to help us but not much was done. Would stay again but asked to be moved far away next time

We had a fantastic stay at Star Beach in Crete and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing holiday. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable base for our trip. There were plenty of dining options — all the restaurants we tried were really nice, with a great variety of food. A personal highlight was the stir fry area, perfect for a tasty mid-afternoon snack. The resort is incredibly family-friendly, with loads of different pools, water slides for the kids, and fun play areas to keep them entertained. In the evenings, the entertainment was lively and enjoyable — a great way to wind down after a day in the sun. The beaches were beautiful, and it was a real bonus that sunloungers were included. The only minor downside was that the beer seemed quite weak, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience. All in all, Star Beach offers great value, a fun atmosphere, and everything you need for a memorable holiday. Would absolutely go back!

We stayed at Star Beach Village & Water Park and overall had a good experience. Pros: • The food was very tasty with a wide variety at the buffet. • Great location right by the sea, with beautiful surroundings. • The hotel itself is well-maintained and has a nice atmosphere. • The sea was amazing — clean and warm (when the weather allowed). Cons: • There were no slippers or bathrobes in the room, which is unexpected for a hotel of this level. • Service was okay — staff were polite but not very attentive. • Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great, but that’s obviously not the hotel’s fault. Overall, a pleasant stay. The food and beach were the highlights. A good choice for a relaxed family vacation.
