"Villa Eugenia delivered everything we hoped for and more. It’s a beautifully maintained, spacious home with views of the hills and sea. Inside, the villa was clean, stylish and very well-equipped. Every corner felt thoughtfully arranged, creating a luxurious yet comfortable vibe. The addition of poolside cabanas was a thoughtful touch—offering much-needed shade during the peak heat. Whether escaping the midday sun or lounging post-swim, they added to the sense of comfort and luxury. We were lucky to find two fantastic local restaurants just a short drive from the villa. Both offered authentic Cretan cuisine and warm, welcoming service—the kind of places you revisit more than once. They added a whole new layer to the experience, and were ideal for relaxed evenings out without venturing far. Our host was responsive and discreet, with genuinely helpful suggestions that made exploring Crete even more memorable. A quick tip: having a car is essential if you want to visit Crete’s main districts, beaches, and historic sites. The villa is tucked away, but mobility gives you access to everything the island has to offer. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-appointed base to discover Crete."

"Staff are supper friendly we had such a lovely time. It was my husbands birthday and they even sent a cake to the room as a surprise and the cake was so nice. Thank you for a lovely stay. "

"Hersonissos is very chill. My hotel was fabulous- did not see a need to go out to clubs, etc., except for excursions, as it was all inclusive. There was nightly entertainment, 5 pools, several restaurants, and my own private beach. Very kid/family friendly as well as singles. "

"This was a 1 night stay prior to a longer booking, in a basic room. I was also here last year. Don’t be scared of a solo trip, the people are fantastic and you will be made to feel very welcome and not alone. The guests are hit and miss, some are a bit rowdy, some doing photo shoots the whole time but it’s easy to find some quiet space. Most are couples in their 30s. The rooms are soundproofed, I stayed on a top floor and couldn’t hear any neighbours which was a relief, food is fantastic but large portions. All inclusive is a must so that you can relax and let the wonderful people bring you drinks and snacks. I had a wonderful massage to start my trip, and a meal in the lovely Greek restaurant. Outside gym has some really cool equipment. I think the resort is non smoking, which is a relief as many Greek people smoke (there are mostly English people here), there are a lot of vapers. I travel to 5 star hotels for work, and I cannot say enough good things about the staff here, they are without exception friendly and helpful and in a resort like this, they make the difference between a 5 star trip and a less decent holiday. I will definitely return next year. I also stayed in the grand bungalow which was easily the best hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. I’d advise anyone to book a swim up room at least, to avoid sunbed wars at the pool. "

"Gorgeous hotel with wonderful staff in a lovely village full of charm and delightful restaurants and bars."

"For me this was a near perfect set up if you want to relax and unwind, having a collection of villa's rather than a single building means it doesn't feel cramped, likewise being spread out over a big site meant you rarely felt you had to worry about getting a space by the pool like you can at other places. The staff could not be more helpful, most of the extras food and drink where good value and a mini market onsite meant you could top up any supplies easily. No real negatives other than the "mocktails" were incredibly expensive compared to normal soft drinks but that is a choice I made equally the local town is VERY touristy and so don't go there expecting an authentic Greek experience. If I want to chill for a week by the pool in the sun this would be top of my list."

"Was very happy with my stay, managment and Ramona from client relations were amazing and made my stay that much better. Would return to any accommodation they are at in the future. Thank you! Ryan from Canada :D "

"Love the hotel, chilled out music playing during the day, pool area does get busy at weekends but not oppressive. Really great food in the restaurant here, definitely recommend going half board. Hersonissis for me isn’t somewhere I would visit again, I don’t like the vibe in the strip. However, Koutouloufari is a ten minute walk from this hotel and is wonderful. The staff at the hotel are really very nice, Erika in particular is a great host and an asset to this hotel."
