Village Heights Golf Resort

Beautiful complex with stunning gardens & clean, comfortable apartments, beautifully furnished. Two beautiful swimming pools. Our favourite was the one at the snack bar, where you could have a selection of coffees, cold drinks, ice-creams and tasty lunches.

There were some great entertainment options at night time, after dinner. There is an animation team, who put on some evening shows but, let's just say, they need to seriously polish their act! Sorry guys!

Kind staff, flexible with check-in and check-out, exceptional service at reception, restaurant and housekeeping.

This beautiful hotel awakens all of the senses the moment you arrive. From the sights and smells of the beautiful landscaped gardens, to the sounds of the birds from dawn to dusk, the feeling of the light breeze and the warm sun on your face and the incredible views across the hills down to the sea....it’s just so stunning. I couldn’t believe how big my balcony/terrace was and I pinched myself every day at the view I had - ocean from one side to the other. It was incredible and I was so lucky to have been given such a lovely space to unwind in. I travelled alone and my aim was to find a place where I could relax and de-stress. This place is perfect and there weren’t many other holiday makers there. I can’t speak for high season but I’d imagine it will still be very quaint and relaxing owing to the style and layout of the architecture. But there are activities and an entertainment team for families if that’s what you want. Very chilled ambience by the pool and not too noisy. The sun beds are set amongst olive trees which is so lovely. I had a self-catering studio which was perfect for me. There is a well-stocked shop on sight, but the shuttle bus to the main town of Hersonissos drops you right near a big supermarket, so I stocked up on fresh Mediterranean food for the week and didn’t need much else. I ate on the balcony terrace every day, it was lovely. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The cleaners, including Maria and Marilena work so hard but always have a smile on their face and were lovely to chat to. Thank you to the kind man who rescued me at gone midnight - when I found a big spider and called reception as I couldn’t sleep haha! I had some incredible spa treatments. The spa staff are very attentive and personable. Thank you to Martina, who was very kind and worked out a package for my personal needs. Thank you to Ana who gave me a free fifteen min massage to assess how tense I was and what treatments would be good.

Whilst it is lovely being away from the main tourist town, you ideally need a car to explore the real Crete. The free shuttle coach to Hersonissos is useful, but Hersonissos is very touristy and a bit tacky, so without a car, it can feel a bit isolating. There is a stop at the old village though - which is very pretty, with stunning little houses and tavernas. Visit Maria in her homemade ceramics shop - on the site of her great-grandfather’s house. A lovely place to buy authentic Greek presents. My terrace was huge! It would have been lovely to sunbathe on there instead of walking up to the pool every time, but there was no sun lounger. Just a couple of chairs and a little table. I think a sun lounger would make a perfect addition to the huge terraces in this hotel. No other negative issues :). It was lovely! Thank you to Village Heights :)

The studio is fully equipped so it makes you feel at home. The surroundings are wonderful, the location peaceful and only 15 minutes away by car from the beach in Hersonissos. There is a free shuttle that takes you to the city centre which is very convenient. The staff is absolutely fantastic and is doing their best to make your stay perfect. They even offer the possibility to rent you a DVD to see a film and there are around 300 films you can choose from. The food variety is amazing, including freshly squeezed juice, fresh season fruit, local cheese, salads, omelette, boiled eggs, fried eggs, 5 types of bread, nuts, local honey, dried fruit for breakfast and for dinner any dish you could think of, from mousaka to lamb chops, pasta bolognese, pizza, cooked vegetables, salads, fresh fruit, cake etc. The animation team is really enthusiastic about their jobs and you can see it reflected in every activity they do for adults and children alike, from stretching classes to dance classes. We spent the Orthodox Easter there and we had a traditional dinner on Sunday night and the restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holiday. The hotel provided us with a free shuttle to the local church to join Easter mass and see the fireworks. Every single day of our holiday was a blessing. It was the best hotel we ever stayed in. Thank you!

The free 15 minute massage was in fact a 5 minute massage and you were suggested to try one of the massages the spa was offering so you could get 15 minutes extra then. The indoor pool is very small and there is only one shower in the changing room. The drinks are not included in the price of half board, only coffee and fresh juice for breakfast.

every thing was perfect. the room, personnel, pool, equipement... everything...

the food of the restaurant was terrible and the hotel was far of the city so there was no restaurant around
