Where to stay with kids in Hersonissos

🏠 Our Rooms We stayed in a Double Room with a Sea View – spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, TV, safe, and plenty of sockets. The balcony had a great view of the Olympic pool and sea

Fantastic family holiday at Lyttos Beach We had a wonderful stay at Lyttos Beach. The hotel has excellent facilities, and the staff truly go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable

One of the best resorts we’ve ever encountered: amazing food variety and quality, competent and friendly staff, excellent facilities, great beach and pools, convenient location.

The beach is amazing, the pools are very nice and clean, the staff and dining was great, we had an amazing time and we’re very happy that we booked this resort for two weeks!

The restaurants offer something for everyone, from delicious local dishes to international favourites, all cooked to perfection. The pools are crystal-clear and plentiful, so there’s always a perfect spot to relax

The bars serve fantastic drinks in a great atmosphere, and the staff are simply outstanding — warm, friendly, and always going the extra mile. We’re genuinely sad to be leaving and can’t wait to come back again

There was only one negative thing: One evening, when we wanted to have a drink at a bar, we weren't served but told the bar wasn't for children

The sea was a bit wavy but there were lots of sunbeds and around the pools as well

The tennis courts were great and facilities for children also enjoyable

The staff at the Enomy main buffet restaurant were mostly okay but many staff were rude or not attentive at all (we sat waiting for cutlery and to be asked our drinks order for ages and then had to try and find someone)

We were very lucky to revieve an upgrade on our room which had a pool!

We were guests in this Hotel for 7 days. Superior Hotel, clean and nice. Our rooms comfortable with a nice view to the Pools. Food & Beverages tasteful and always enough

I had the Cretan massage with my mum. I had Jessie and she had Albora. Both of them did an absoloutely amazing job. It was very relaxing and they focused on all the body. We both had an amazing experience.

Great food, friendly staff, drinks are amazing and the bar staff takes their time to prepare them, beautiful beach and the spa was very relaxing. My daughter and I enjoyed our facials!

The massage here was really good. I was treated by Albora, she was very friendly and polite, and the massage was perfect. The products smell amazing. Highly recommended!!!

I visited the spa with my daughter for the Cretan masssage. We both thouroughly loved this and would recommend. Albora is very good.

Very clean with spacious rooms Family and kids friendly with multiple pools to choose from and close to the beach

Our second stay this year! Amazing hotel. I'd accidently booked the wrong room type, and we were upgraded for free. Giannis provided excellent service around the pool

Just spent a week at this hotel with my family and we were blown away. The rooms were great, mini bar stocked everyday, food was fab, all inclusive drinks were branded and cocktails were top notch

Service throughout the hotel was amazing and cannot fault at all. The hotel is clean and well maintained. Beach is a pebble/rocky beach, this didnt bother us as we were happy by the pool

There's an astro pitch, tennis courts and arcades and pool table for other entertainment. Unfortunately, didn't get an opportunity to try the sushi bar but it looked really nice

The hotel itself is amazing with three pools and plenty of bars with four a la crate restaurants and a sushi bar alongside the main restaurant

What really stood out was the incredible service from all the staff. They were so kind and helpful throughout our stay. The pool food staff were particularly great, handling a special food order for us with a smile

We had a wonderful time at the resort. We enjoyed the spa. The food was very good. We enjoyed the community cats also. We will be back. Nick was a very big help to us throughout our entire stay.

Food, staff, rooms and all facilities are great. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. The swim-up was fantastic, quiet most of the time and waiter service to pool side was unexpected but appreciated

• Everything is tastefully decorated — from the stylish apartments to the elegant restaurant interiors and even the staff uniforms. • Our children absolutely loved the aquapark; it’s a highlight for families

many sunbeds are already reserved with towels (an issue the hotel could manage more strictly), and in the restaurants some parents let their children watch videos on phones or tablets at high volume

We stayed for a week in a suite with a private pool and loved it. The staff were excellent to a fault, especially the bar staff - couldn't rate them high enough

We loved our stay at Arminda Spa and Hotel, spotlessly clean, all the staff wonderful. The animation team and entertainment were so lovely with our children. Wonderful full body massage from Harris in the spa

Wonderful weeks break, the hotel location is a short walk into Stalis and on the beach. Plenty of pools to relax for adults or spend quality time with kids if a family

The pools are perfect for children and there are quiet areas for adults to relax too. There is a variety of food in the restaurant and snack bars, plenty of choice

We came to the day spa, they have a private room with saunas, pool and a shower treatment. Rafaela was the most helpful and kind!

The facilities are excellent and very well maintained — from the kids’ club and playground with caring staff, to the beautiful pools (including a seawater pool with a sea view and fun kids’ pools with slides)

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. A 20-30min drive from Heraklion. Different pools to choose from and some water slides. Although the water was a bit on the colder side in October but we still swam

As parents with picky kids, we really liked the lunch and dinner buffets, but we also visited the snack bars frequently. You could easily walk between your hotelroom, the different pools, the snack bars and the ocean

Just make sure you have a few warm outfits for day and evening. Entertainment was ok mainly bingo which u pay 5 euros a go. Karaoke and a live pirate performance. Again low season so no entertainment at main bar

Great facilities, slow pace, great weather and lots of fun for the kids: playgrounds, pools, different waterslides, soccer field, kids activities, free ice cream and slushes (as well as a gokartplace nextdoor)

Fab time would recommend for families. Lots of parks for young children. Walked into town about 10 mins not many things open but enough to keep us entertained

We (parents with 3 kids, age 9, 6 and 3) had a great autumn holiday during this last week of October

Beds and rooms are nice they have shampoo shower gel and moisturiser but no conditioner. Spa was lovely had a massage experience for 80 euros, well worth the money. Weather hasn’t been great but was expecting it

On our last day here Asterias village hotel , been a great stay for 1 week , hotel is very clean very polite staff , breakfast was very good nice fresh food fruit and yoghurt was excellent, different teas and coffees , the breakfast staff very polite and welcoming! The pool area is very clean and has been modernised looks great , the night bar has Nicolas serving drinks with a great smile and very...

Asterias Village went above and beyond by upgrading our room. They remembered our first visit and surprised us with a beautiful balcony room overlooking the pool, which we truly did not expect

Basic, clean accommodation and a lovely pool area and bar. Unfortunately, the hotel description doesn't match the reality so we have felt somewhat short changed

There are no cookers, no live entertainment or kids clubs and no games room. The pool was also closed and cordoned off

The hotel was exceptionally clean, and the staff were amazing, friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. We felt completely safe in the area, which made the experience even more enjoyable

Set in the hills of Piskopiano, the location is outstanding, with an excellent range of restaurants, bars, and shops within easy reach

Through my travel agency business I politely asked for upgraded rooms and we were not disappointed. We were given 3 rooms at the front of the pool, which were without a doubt the best rooms in the hotel

The facilities for children were incredible, especially the waterpark, which was a huge highlight for our family

Food and drinks were consistently fresh and enjoyable, with plenty of choice, and the cocktails were excellent. Everything felt well organised and family-friendly

Before arrival, I requested that our rooms be next to each other, and the hotel delivered perfectly, all our rooms were together at the front of the pool

The hotel itself was spotless throughout, and every member of staff we encountered was beyond helpful and genuinely friendly. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and the service really stood out

I would 100% recommend this hotel to all of my clients through my travel business, especially for families looking for a fun, clean, and friendly resort. We can’t wait to come back!!

Due to its size, the hotel has a family-like atmosphere and invites you to relax. The hotel grounds, the food, and the rooms are stylish, clean, and inviting. We especially want to highlight the staff

They are friendly, attentive, and always have an open ear. We particularly want to mention Maria from the reception. She welcomed us warmly, is professional, and a wonderful person

Thank you for the amazing experience, the tasty tasty food (breakfast and dinner), the relaxing moments by the pool and your beautiful smiles! Until next time!!💕💕

Hotel Kalypso and its whole staff and service is just awesome. Family feeling. Definitely a recommendation.

The hotel is very nice and recommendable, not too big and a well-kept complex. The service is great, Maria Brazil and her colleagues are very friendly. A few minutes walk to the beach and the pool is fantastic too

The Kalypso in Malia - Crete is a little gem. The hotel is quietly located and the city center (party mile) can be reached in just a 15-minute walk

just back after a 2 week family holiday for 12 7 adults 4 kids and a baby the hotel is at best 3 stars but very clean the food for me was awful so ate out every day the kids loved the pool and most of the staff are very helpful and friendly the man that does the excursions was extremely helpful and if you need to hire a car speak to him he is cheap and does all the hard work for you entertainment...

They really are the heart of the hotel. The hotel has two large pools with plenty of sunbeds, and best of all, there was no need to rush down in the morning to reserve one

We also hired a car for a week (€315), and it was brilliant – hassle-free, no push for extra insurance, and a great way to see the island, which is huge. Highly recommend getting a car if you want to explore properly

No matter what time we went, beds were available, which made things much more relaxing. There could be a few more umbrellas, but you can easily pick one up from the mini market on site if needed

The food was the only real let-down. While there was variety, it would be nice to have some more simple options. It’s not terrible, but it is the one area where the hotel could really improve

The hotel itself is a little secluded from the main resorts and shops, but everything is still walkable, and there’s a free shuttle to the beach three times a day which is very handy

location good let's itself down with zero entertainment for the adults and the 2 pools not 3 are not large however the low-level large pool was great. could not have stayed here with a family of 4

We stayed here in August as a family of four and absolutely loved it! The rooms were spotless and comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home

The location was perfect — close to the beach and local restaurants. It was the ideal mix of relaxation and fun for both the kids and us. Highly recommend it for families!

The staff were very helpful on arrival as there was only a double bed & nowhere to sit. They moved us to a room close to pool,restaurant etc. We quickly realised we were the only British there & the resort was 90% German

We had such a wonderful stay at Meropi Hotel & Apartments! The place is super clean, cozy and very family-friendly

We decided to stay in an all inclusive hotel for our friend group trip and Meropi did not disappoint. The staff has been very helpful and friendly for anything we needed. Food is amazing and has options for all tastes

Pool not so big but nice beaches walking distance which you have to pay for sunbeds. Bus stop to any city 10 min walk and trust me everyone is very nice and willing to help

The hotel has been partially updated and is generally clean, however the upgrade has been done to general areas around pool and partial in rooms so photos do not reflect the full hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful

The room was cleaned regularly and fresh towels were provided every other day. ▪️The pool was clean and there was plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas. They also allow inflatables which is great for the children

We have just returned from a 7 night stay at this hotel So we will start with the positives first ▪️upon arrival at around 10:30pm we were greeted by a helpful man on reception who checked us in quickly and offered us food for us and our 3 children

These were delicious and what we pretty much lived on (see negatives) ▪️we found the location to be close to the beach which was handy with 3 children

▪️The room we found to be clean with good air-conditioning and nice shower facilities, yes the kitchen area is a little dated however serves the purpose with a good sized fridge for our water

There are 5 swimming pools, including a mini waterpark for children, making the resort perfect for families, fully reflecting the SOL by Meliá brand standards

As in many parts of the island, toilet paper cannot be flushed in the WC. Finally, we would like to sincerely thank Ms. Fani from the Guest Experience Team, who made us feel like part of the family

The resort also offers mini golf, a bocce court, table football, table tennis, a games room and an entertainment program with activities for both adults and children scheduled throughout the day

We stayed in a spacious bungalow, perfect for a family of four, with a nice outdoor area as well. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom featured a modern new shower

Lovely hotel,fantastic staff john is a lovely entertainer, only thing we found is not much english food too much French. Rooms cleaned daily, clean hotel and pool

The only small downside is that the indoor pool, open during the colder months, is unfortunately not heated

Great place for a family holiday. I would recommend getting a room with a pool patio otherwise you may struggle for a sun lounger. The food is great, the service is excellent and the hotel is aesthetically pleasing

My family and I had a lovely holiday at Gouves. The staff were excellent, particularly Maria at Poseidon Bar who could not do enough for us

Food was excellent: I have two fussy eaters and they could always find something to eat at the Buffet

We didnt try the restaurants and stuck with Buffet which a wide range and variety of dishes - even Chinese! The cakes and desserts were exemplary! Drinks wise kids were happy with sodas and we drank the Minoan Era lager which we really liked

We came in April and it majority of facilities as to WHY we chose this hotel are closed and not available - play area for kids, indoor pool closed due to construction

Shout out to Manos the lifeguard who was so friendly and chatty with our kids when they were in the slides in the waterpark ❤️ The food was your classic AI buffet (daily salads, bread, cheese, meats, pizza, pasta, some themed dishes) and we all found something to eat and nobody had any stomach issues (except me being bloated from all the naughty choices I made!!)

This is our last full day at Serita Beach hotel. We have been here for 9 nights and was here the same last October 2024! After having such a lovely holiday last year we came back with the family and grandchildren

The food is excellent and rooms very clean I would definitely recommend this hotel it gives a family atmosphere

Theres a spa we have had massages which were lovely. Sunbeds and pools are nice and the beds are very comfy

Very helpful and friendly staff from cleaners, reception, bar staff, restaurant and especially animation team who struck the right balance between encouraging you to take part without being pushy

I missed having music playing by the pool throughout the day

We recommend this and say look beyond any negative reviews as it lovely!! Theres a lovely jewellery shop inside hotel with the man that makes the jewellery his name is Thanossis and he is lovely, i bought an earring and pendant set handmade that is beautiful!! All in all for the price we recommend this hotel as a lovely stay , relaxing with nice surroundings, beach and bars! Hope to see them again...
