"The Hotel was ok, much smaller than it looked in the pictures. All the Staff were lovely and couldn't have done more for us. The room was nice, kept clean and had most amenities except towel rails to hang the bath towels inside but, it did have a rack on the balcony. The tv channels were dated and not for English speaking guests, Paralos as a chain should use satellite television. The sun beds were a bit of a problem, as there wasn't enough for everyone, the occupants of the swim up rooms, used to lay on the other sun beds, as the swim ups were all in the shade most of the day, bit of a waste, so glad we didn't upgrade to one. The hotel says it has 2 restaurants, one is hardly ever used as its across the road and downstairs next to the underground carpark with a few chairs and tables more like a overflow carpark. The food was good but the same menu every day, gets a bit monotonous and could do with maybe theme nights to break it up. The beach is a minimum 10 minute walk away, not really a beach just stones and sand that was littered with rubbish. My overall rating would at a push a 3 star."

"Amazing property, felt very high end but still authentic. The staff is very nice and ready to help. The room was comfy and always beach/pool sunbeds available. The breakfast is amazing 10/10 we looked forward to it every day. The onsite reasturants and drinks were over priced for what you got (but the dinner buffet also 10/10 at 45 euros per person). If you are travelling with a baby they have lots of high chairs at all eating places. The only thing I would say is the pool is deep (for kid swimming) and also if you are not travelling with kids this place is packed with young families (great for us, but if I was on a romantic getaway I would choose adult only resort), the town of Malia is walkable about 25 mins - only 5 min drive. But the town is geared to young clubbers and strip joints… BUT the “old town” is cute and small and has good restaurants, so I would just go into old town to dine out. The beach is nice but more rustic/with large rocks. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend."

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Amirandes Hotel and would highly recommend it. The hotel itself is beautiful, and our bungalow room was lovely. We especially enjoyed being able to walk straight out and look at the sea. The main pool is huge, with plenty of space to relax, and there are lots of activities available throughout the week. We particularly loved the padel, olive oil tasting and pottery making. I also had the signature massage, which was a full-body treatment. I love a massage, and this was probably one of the best I’ve ever had. The poolside team were always so smiley and attentive, regularly bringing us drinks and making us feel very well looked after. The cleaners were equally friendly, and our room was immaculate every day. We ate at the buffet most evenings, but we also visited Blue Monkey. If you are staying on a half-board basis, they offer a €20-per-person credit against the bill, which was a lovely bonus. The food there was delicious. The buffet staff were extremely friendly and attentive, and we especially loved the pancake lady! The morning team were also fantastic, taking our coffee orders as soon as we sat down. Every member of staff helped make our stay so enjoyable. We would highly recommend Amirandes Hotel and would love to return."

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Hersonissos is best to stay in for families?

For families visiting Hersonissos, the best areas to stay are those slightly outside the main town centre, such as Analipsi or Anissaras, as they offer a more relaxed atmosphere with easy access to family-friendly beaches and amenities.Analipsi is a charming village that boasts a lovely sandy beach with shallow waters, great for little ones to paddle safely. The promenade is ideal for a gentle stroll, and you'll find a selection of traditional tavernas offering delicious local fare with outdoor seating. There are also a few mini-markets for stocking up on snacks and essentials. It provides a peaceful setting while still being a short drive from Hersonissos's main attractions.Anissaras is another excellent choice, known for its beautiful, uncrowded beaches and crystal-clear waters. Many accommodations here are designed with families in mind, often featuring spacious grounds and sometimes even small play areas. The area is relatively flat, making it pleasant for walking with a buggy, and you'll find a good selection of restaurants serving fresh seafood and Greek specialities.Both Analipsi and Anissaras offer a quiet base for families, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty of Crete and spend quality time together by the sea, away from the busier parts of Hersonissos.
