Star Beach Village & Waterpark

“BEST TIME EVER! 🙌”

We had a great time! The food was delicious and there was many options on what restaraount you wanted to go to! When the kids were to hot they would go down to the water park on the plenty of slides! There was the main water park which I’m pretty sure had four big slides? And then the kids splash park well the first one which had 5 slides and along with that there was a pirate ship in the pool that also had some slides! And the other splash park for older kids (8-13) Had lots of slides big and small. The only thing that wasn’t great was the rooms.. our friends had to get a room moved because the roof was damp and the second one wasn’t great either. But other than that we all loved it! I would recommend

“Great time at Star Beach”

Hey all, just got back from this place and just to reassure people, we all had a great time. A group of 9 family members ranging from 3 to 79 over the October half term. The site is huge with the reception, main restaurant, a few pools, the entertainment area and the majority of rooms on one side of a service road. On the other side is there are more rooms, more pools, bars, places to eat and the water park. Also access to a number of little beach areas and the sea. The site is what you'd class as a village. Lots of separate blocks containing up to 30 rooms. We had a sea view which was nice. Cleaned and fresh towels every day. 3 beds and quite a large room with a nice balcony. Really comfy bed. A word of warning with the rooms. Depending on what room they allocate you might effect your holiday, depending on what you want. There is a go kart track next to the hotel running until 11pm and there are lots of rooms that overlook it. Also there are lots of rooms overlooking the main pool which is also the main entertainment area so if you want a quiet night this is not where you want a room. Friendly, hard working staff. Never experienced any issues with the staff. Food was awesome. So much choice, fresh cooked omelette, steak, fish. I put on half a stone and I was eating pretty healthily, just lots of it! Snack bar on the beach side doing fresh stir fry noodles. Drinks were good too. Branded vodka and whiskey plus some local spirits and beer. I watched them open new bottles of Absolute Vodka and there were some very very long pours but it still didn't have the effect it would have had in the UK so I'm not sure if it's somehow watered down like in other posts. AI cocktails were good too. Too much ice in everything though. Some of the bars are not on the AI so ask if it's not obvious. Lots of pools with little slides for small kids and the water park at the far end. I believe the water park is having a makeover for 2025. Pools are not heated. Even though it was half term there were no queues for anything, it was quite quiet. No problems getting sunbeds and no need to towel reserve. Speaking of towels get them at the main pool on the reception side of the hotel. If you like to walk then if you stand facing the sea and turn left you can walk along the sea front to the harbour and then back along the main street with all the shops. If you face the sea and turn right you can only get so far before the hotels stop you walking across their private areas. There's a few shops on site and just over the main road opposite the hotel. We did find the entertainment a bit poor but maybe that's just our taste. And the entertainment is around the main pool area and this area is way too small for this size of hotel with people having no choice but to stand as there's not enough seats and tables. The gym was OK if you can adapt your training for your stay. Not how it looks in the adverts. Some of the equipment was broken and dirty. It needs replacing ASAP. Overall we had a great time and I'd go back there. Enjoy.

We stayed at star beach over the October school holidays and honestly loved every minute. Room- We stayed in the Apollo block, a one minute walk away from the pool most appropriate for little children. The room itself was spacious, clean and had a lovely side sea view. The shower was particularly fab in this room! The cleaning was to a good standard each day we used the service including fresh towels. I would definitely request this block again should we return. Pools- The pools that we used were fantastic, understandably busy with lots of children, but they were clean. My little one (age 5) loved the pirate pool with the smaller slides and they have really catered to everyone in regards to the different pools and appropriate levels of slides and interactive bits. The only real shame here was that the pools were all freezing! It was cloudy a few days of our stay and so the pool was a no-go for most people over the age of 15! Additionally, some of the bottom section of the hotel such as the adults only area was closed, you are able to use the sunbeds and pool free of charge but the pool bar and snack bar in this area is closed. It was only a 2 minute walk to an alternate bar/snack bar though so this didn't really impact us. We did not use the waterpark, but the slides looked epic and were quiet each day we passed! Kids club- The kids club was a brilliant addition to this hotel! Our little girl spent lots of time making friends, colouring, playing mini-golf and generally hanging out in this area. this is also where the mini-disco takes place each night for half an hour at 8:30pm before the main entertainment in the bar round the corner. The staff were really positive and welcoming. Beach- The beach was lovely, small and you would have to get up early to get sunbeds that face the sun all day, but it is clean, quiet and the sea is stunning. Not to mention it is only 30 seconds away from the kids park and a selection of pools and slides. Food- The food was a real highlight. Different options each night without the horrible oily taste that you get in lots of all inclusive hotels. Each of us were able to find something that we enjoyed each meal including freshly made omelettes for breakfast, a delicious salad bar and freshly cooked chicken and pork for lunch and whole sides of salmon for dinner- one of many many options! The fresh pasta station and kids section was clearly a hit for the little ones and the help yourself chilled bottles of wine station was definitely a hit for the grown-ups. We were very impressed. Staff- For the most part the staff were brilliant, our cleaner in particular was lovely and always took the time to say hello. The bar staff were courteous- if a little tired- but this is understandable at the end of a long season. We only had an issue with one member of staff manning the towel drop-off/pick-up area, as he was notably rude grunting at my partner and myself before shouting at us when we called him out on his rudeness. This was mentioned to reception and we were unsure if this complaint was adequately received- however again, at the end of a long season we understood that staff may be ready for a break! Area- Star beach is in a great area! it is about a 15 minutes walk into central hersonissos where bars, restaurants, and shops are all available, we walked back along the coast-line which was really beautiful. Overall, we had an excellent holiday and would have no qualms with booking again- likely for high season to guarantee the weather and to see the difference with everything open! Four star only to reflect our experience with staff rudeness and the non-disclosure online that some of the areas of the hotel would be closed!

Our family enjoyed our holiday here with very good pools, slides and right on the beach. The food was great with a good selection at the buffet and excellent snack options throughout the day. The room wasn’t what we were expecting. The pictures from EasyJet were different when we booked to what we got…..and this has been highlighted in other reviews. It was fine, it was just a bit underwhelming to what was advertised. The room was cleaned to a high standard daily and the beds were comfy. We would have rated this 4 stars out of 5 if it were not for the attitude of many of the staff. We went at the end of the season and it was clear that many of them no longer wanted to be there, or wanted to interact with guests anymore. There were some exceptions….George and Diana in the main restaurant were wonderful and made us feel very welcome. The main pool bar and snack bar staff made a good effort also. At all other bars we were made to feel like we were an inconvenience, and I would go as far as to say the general attitude around the beach front areas was rude. A lot of other negative comments for families mention the party area being noisy and non family friendly. This was all closed down when we were there so no issue for us.
