La Stella Suites

"Me and my daughter were the first guests of the season at this beautiful boutique hotel. Friendly, helpful and welcoming staff (especially Mary) and clean, fresh environment. Pool area is beautiful with luxury sunbeds and the bar (with fabulous barstaff) is a friendly hub for all the guests. Room comfortable and spacious with basic kitchen area; great for sorting out lunch. Hot and cold breakfast available where they happily accommodated our vegan milk requests. Hotel is 5 minutes from good restaurants, bars and beautiful beach area with sunbeds and beach bar. Short cheap taxi or bus ride into the Old Town which is a must do. We had a great few days here and will definitely return."

"Mary and her team at this hotel go above and beyond. Always there to help and all very attentive. The hotel is spotless and the room have everything that is required. Will definitely return again in the future. Thank you Mary and team ❤️"

"We stayed in La Stella for a full week and it was spectacular for what we wanted. Mainly, this is due to the staff who are friendly, helpful and honest. They make you feel welcome and are more than happy to converse/provide advice. Mary offered multiple times to order taxis, sort out hire cars etc. Professional and courteous with extensive knowledge of the island. Booking through La Stella also gives you access to the Atermeno Hotel (5 star) upstairs infinity pool amongst other facilities. The gym, spa, steam room and sauna do have additional costs if you want to use them. Breakfast was grand although don't expect a huge selection as it is a smaller, more personable hotel. The quality was great and still offered new breakfast options every day varying from more traditional plain options to many great local options. I would say this hotel is perfect for those who want to explore the island as it is more central between Chania and Heraklion. It is also around a 10-15 minute bus from Rethymno so it is not an overly touristy area (at least in my experience.) Overall, very positive experience and great way to enjoy our Cretan experience. Big ups fae Scotland."
