Very good

The main restaurant buffet had so many choices – Greek, Mediterranean, and even international options. Every meal was a treat, and the quality of the food was consistent throughout our stay.
This hotel offers the perfect blend of relaxation and activities.The wellness center was a highlight, providing excellent massages. A truly rejuvenating experience.
The people working here truly made the difference – warm welcomes, helpful tips, and quick service. You could tell they cared about the guests, and it made us feel really welcome.
Every single staff member we interacted with was warm, helpful, and always smiling. From the cleaning staff to the restaurant waiters, they all made our stay feel special and stress-free.
Our room was immaculate and tastefully decorated, providing a cozy ambiance. The hotel's charm is complemented by its attentive staff and well-maintained facilities. We felt relaxed and well-cared-for throughout our visit.
We booked a night at the à la carte restaurant and it was totally worth it! The service was impeccable, the food freshly made and beautifully presented. Highly recommend for a more intimate dinner setting!
Dining at the à la carte restaurant was an absolute pleasure. The menu was creative and full of flavor, with dishes beautifully presented. It felt like dining in a top-tier restaurant – without ever leaving the hotel! Excellent wine list, too. Definitely a must during your stay.
The pool was the highlight of our stay at Sunshine Village. Clean, spacious, and surrounded by sunbeds, it became our daily retreat. Whether for a morning swim or afternoon lounging, the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. The kids had a blast, and so did we!
One of the most memorable parts of our trip was the Greek-themed night on the 15th – music, dancing, and so much food. We met other guests and danced under the stars. Absolutely magical!
We had dinner at the à la carte restaurant for our anniversary. The setting was calm, the food exquisite, and the service very attentive. Felt like a fine dining experience – a lovely escape from the buffet routine.
The moment we walked into the fresh, renovated reception, we felt like we were in a luxury resort. The upgrades are impressive, and I can’t wait to see if more areas are being updated too!

Heronissos stay
This is little suites based hotel with few swimming pools, all inclusive food and drinks and free shuttle ti the beach. Room was spacious with big balcony and sea view. Predominantly, most of the guests were from French speaking countries and there was animation team, but french speaking.
I e read lots of bad reviews about it but I decided to give a try.
Food is good lots of veggies and meats, something for everyone, Appartament very clean, 3 pools one situated half way going towards the beach. Very good customer service, speak to Julia and she will sort everything out.
Down side: toilet seats across all resorts need a bit of fixing same as toilet flash systems. Too much French music by the big pool. Overall very good.

Not a 4 star hotel
Nice hotel, but the pictures on website of hotel looks a lot better than realitty.
In my opinion not a 4 star hotel but 3 star.
Very friendly and helpfull staff.
Good location with walking distance to beach.
The hotel area could really need a cleaning hand. Some areas looked really tired and not well maintained. Maybe because of Covid19??
3 pool areas but the one for small children was not cleaned at att during our stay and there were small rocks and dirt on the ground so our kid hurt them self when walking around the pool area.
Asuggestion for improvement is tobadd toilet facilities and small bar or similar the kids pool ares so you don't have to walk 5minutes to nearest toilet and bar.
We had all inclusive in our stay and i'm a bit dissapoikted about selection of food made available, especially for the kids.
For breakfast there was very little selection of bread available, not even toast bread.
For lunch/dinner there where spaghetti bolognese and fish every and a small variety of greek food, but I would consider all meals more or less the same for all days.
Some days with fries and maybe even burgers would have been nice. Our kids could not understand why there was no french fries, and I don't think I have ever sgayed in a hotel who did not serve this at all.
An old VW shuttle bus took you from one end of hotel to the other end in 2 minutes and worked fine, but driver goes really fast greek style 😉
Les programmes du soir étaient vraiment amusants – spectacles en direct, karaoké et soirées à thème. Les animateurs faisaient vivre le resort chaque soir et veillaient à ce que tout le monde participe et s’amuse.
Η διαμονή μας ήταν απλά εξαιρετική! Η πισίνα πολύ καθαρή και ιδανική για χαλάρωση. Το εστιατόριο μας εντυπωσίασε με τις γεύσεις του και την εξυπηρέτηση. Όλα ήταν προσεγμένα στην παραμικρή λεπτομέρεια. Σίγουρα θα το επισκεφτούμε ξανά!
Le personnel du Sunshine Village a rendu notre séjour inoubliable grâce à son hospitalité sincère. Les offres culinaires étaient variées et savoureuses, mettant en valeur aussi bien des plats locaux qu’internationaux. Chaque repas était un vrai plaisir.
Nous avons adoré l’ambiance – un endroit sûr, propre et animé. La présence d’un maître-nageur à la piscine nous a rassurés, et le buffet a même satisfait notre enfant difficile. Un lieu vraiment adapté aux familles.
Nous avons été époustouflés par la qualité et la variété du buffet. Chaque jour réservait de nouvelles surprises, et tout était bien assaisonné et fraîchement préparé. Ne manquez surtout pas les plats crétois locaux !
L'équipe d'animation a apporté une énergie incroyable chaque jour – des jeux à la piscine, des spectacles amusants le soir, et plein d'activités pour les enfants comme pour les adultes. Ils étaient présents et dynamiques sans jamais être envahissants. Bravo !
Το Sunshine Village μας άφησε πραγματικά τις καλύτερες εντυπώσεις. Η θέα στη θάλασσα ήταν απίστευτη, ειδικά την ώρα του ηλιοβασιλέματος – απλά μαγεία. Οι εγκαταστάσεις ήταν εξαιρετικές και το προσωπικό τόσο φιλικό που νιώσαμε λες και ήμασταν στο σπίτι μας. Περάσαμε υπέροχα και θα το θυμόμαστε για καιρό!
À notre arrivée, nous avons eu la agréable surprise de découvrir que la réception avait été récemment rénovée – elle semble toute neuve et moderne, bien plus belle que sur les photos en ligne. Une première impression magnifique !
Nous avons séjourné à l’hôtel à la mi-mois et avons eu la chance d’assister à la Soirée Grecque : musique live, danseurs et cuisine grecque authentique. Tout le monde a participé à la fête. Ce fut une soirée inoubliable et un véritable voyage culturel.
