Spa Hotels in Gouves

Beautiful hotel building, right on the beach, very nice and helpful staff.

We stayed in Gouves Bay for 10 days from 21/05/2023 until 01/06/2023. The place is simply fantastic !! Everything was perfect, I can not find any disadvantage. The staff of the hotel is very professional, polite, friendly and helpful. Since we had a 1.5 year old baby with us, who could be loud and messy sometimes - waiters were all the time there trying to help us feed and entertain him. The food was just great, the huge variety of everything - sea food, meat, pasta, vegetables, soups, salads, fresh fruits etc., deserts were amazing - could not stop eating ! Reception girls were smiling all the time and were very helpful when we had some small issues. There were snacks/coffee/tea in the room and a bottle of delicious red wine in the room upon arrival. The Restaurant Maitre Mr. Panagiotis was always there checking if everything goes smoothly, always smiling to all the guests. Waiters were always very polite and very quick, tables were always clean despite that the place was full. Very good organised service and well trained hotel staff. A big 'thank you' for a waiter that had a birthday during our stay and his colleagues brought him a cake in front of all restaurants guests - that was really warm and sweet. Unfortunately I do not remember his name. The Barman Nikos was very helpful. Great cocktails, positive vibes and great sense of humour. Some nights were animation programme, the best for us was a Rock night. Location of the hotel is perfect if you don't search for a loud music clubs. Shops, restaurants, super markets and beach is located next to hotel. 15 min from Heraklion and 10 min from Hersonissos (by car). All in all, our stay in Gouves Bay happens to be above our expectations. A big Thank you to all the hotel team, you are doing a great job !! We hope to come back again !!

The hotel is amazing. The food is awesome. The yoga and Pilates was very very good & challenge . Thanks to the amazing teacher.

Food was very good, especially Isla restaurant which you could use free once during a week stay. Pools were nice, but littlebit cold in October (for kids). Cleaning every day. All the personal was very helpful and friendly. You have to check out from rooms at 11, but you can stay in hotel and still use pools and eat during the day

From the moment we arrived, everything felt so warm and welcoming. The hotel is Pinterest-vibe beautiful, new, and spotless, very close to the nice beach. The food was delicious and varied, and drinks were amazing. But what truly made our stay special was the amazing team — from Lia at the reception to the restaurant staff, waiters, bartenders, housekeepers, and spa staff — everyone was incredibly kind, friendly, and always ready to help. It felt very cozy and comfortable. We’ll definitely come back again!

I stayed here for one night because I needed something close to the airport and the exhibitions center, and it turned out to be a great choice. The room was renovated, comfy beds with a nice view over the pool. The staff were super friendly and the breakfast was really tasty. I also rented a car through the hotel, which made getting around really easy. Overall, the location was very convenient.

Lovely hotel by the beach. Staff super friendly and rectified any issues we had.

The food have a different themes everyday, our room and more...

There is so much to say about this hotel. To start we travelled as a couple and even though it is mainly a family-oriented hotel, it worked perfectly for us! Let’s go in depth for the ones that want to read: FACILITIES: The room we got was fantastic, double room with a balcony and separate toilet and shower. Mini fridge with new beverages almost every day was a nice touch. The pools scattered around the hotel were good, there were separate pools for Stella Village and Stella Palace. One Village pool was separated from the more children-focused ones and was great for us. The bars around were easy to find and use and the drinks and snacks were solid. Restaurants were clean although the main one had seating inside only which made it loud and not too comfortable. The waterpark was also very good, but maybe more for the children (we enjoyed it too :) ) COMFORT Beds and pillows were great, so were the sunbeds, both at the pools and by the beach, which also was a 2 minute walk from our room! LOCATION The hotel is right by the sea, and the beach is more than enough. Nearby is Analipsi, a town with many restaurants that held a super high standard with extremely good service. The service everywhere was really great! Supermarkets are nearby and souvenir shops too. Buses can be found close and the closest car rental was next door, can be recommended since we used it to rent a car for 2 days (50€/day) cheapest was 40€/day. CLEANLINESS The rooms were cleaned daily, the pools were also very clean and so were the restaurants. You could get new towels daily so to stay clean wasn’t a problem at all. VALUE FOR MONEY We booked quite far in advance and paid a good price for 8 nights. All in all I don’t think you could go wrong with the price we paid, the location and the experience we got! STAFF Unreal. 10/10! We first got a room on the ground floor which we thought was a bit unfortunate.

The everything is included , except spa. Order restaurant is to make a reservation on the Maris app, the other buffet and bar is available. Location is good and environment is nice.
