We choose the Anastasia because of the reviews given and were not disapointed.
On arrival you are greeted by a friendly receptionist and are shown to your room by a member of staff not just given keys and a map.As we had arrived after the restaurant finishing time, a cold buffet meal had been prepared and left for us to eat when we were ready.
The staff at this hotel have to be some of the most helpful, polite and friendly we have ever met.Within a couple of days we had struck up good rapour with all and were always greeted with a smile and friendly conversation.Remember to attempt some basic Greek and they open up to you even more.
The food in the restaurant is plentiful but does not cater too much towards those who only enjoy British cooking. You have to be able to try different dishes, but there was always a large selection of salads to fall back on if the main dish selection is not to your taste.
The hotel grounds are kept very clean and with a gardener looking after all the shrubs, the area is very pleasant to walk through. The maids clean the pool and bar area each day before cleaning the rooms and make an excellent job of all.The pool is a good size and was never overloaded during our stay.At 17m long you are able to get a good swim, and there is a smaller pool for todlers a few meters away.Entertainment was tailored more towards the British guests, and was fairly basic but it gave you a good laugh if you were willing to get involved.
We opted for the bigger family room which had two sinle beds and a double and appreciated the extra room. Air conditioning and a fridge are provided at no extra cost which is a great bonus( this was a first as it's normally something else you need to pay for on arrival).The bathroom also had a hairdrier provided as standard.
This has to be the first hotel we have said we would go straight back for a second holiday without any hesitation, and it was mainly due to the friendliness of the staff.

I have been many times to this hotel. Last year i took ill and michel could not have been more helpful and his dad. The staff are great. Food also great and it is spotless clean. We are all going back on july 22 cant wait to see everybody and bills new baby. I would just like to say thank you again for everything you did for us and we will see you soon

I must agree with all the comments made it is a very clean very well run hotel with excellent and polite staff perfect for families.I feel i must warn poeple
who are traveling to this area it is the most dangerous
place i have been to when walking in town the motor bikes are everywhere do not leave your children unattended there should be somthing done to restrict the movement of the bikes and quads by night.For this
reason i would never return to Crete this is in no way a reflection on the hotel that was excellent.

i would defenatly go again

thankyou for a wonderfll holiday bill and michel

Fantastic Holiday Location for Families. This hotel was clean, welcoming, friendly, great for kids, with great food and great staff.

The rooms were large by standards we have seen elsewhere. We can't praise this hotel enough. Brothers Billy and Michael (Watch out for their karaoke performance) run the place (and their family and children are often on hand and enjoying the facilities) with their fantastic team of staff (especially the waiting staff) make sure your holiday was perfect.

A small complex of about 60 rooms, just a 10 minute walk to the resort and beach via an underpass which ran under the main road.

The whole place is washed down daily and is spotlessly clean as are your rooms which are cleaned on a daily basis.

There is no noise from surrounding hotels just some from the road when poolside, but cannot be heard from the rooms. Bus stops are close by and we took regular trips on the local buses which are cheap and efficient, most of the conductors spoke sufficient English to get by, but remember to buy your tickets from the office if you start at the bus station.

We went half board and the food was varied and plentiful. Everyone soaked up the friendly atmosphere. The Entertainment run by the excellent John from Leicester (previously seen on X-Factor) was low key but there was something on most nights e.g. bingo, quiz nights, karaoke.

The complex was safe for kids to roam and make friends leaving parents to sit, relax and enjoy.

Just returned from our second visit to this brilliant hotel. Once again we could find no faults at all with this hotel.

All areas of the hotel are spotlessly clean.

The food is excellent with plenty to choose from at both breakfast and the evening meal. Very attractivly presented.

A great location, near enough the resort centre without having any noise during the evening.

The staff are all great and can't do enough for you. The owners are always available and join in the entertainment.

We will be returning again next year if not before.

The Hotel Anastasia is lovely. I took my two girls aged 14 and 9, we had a great holiday.

The rooms are spacious and clean-daily. They have a useful fridge, air conditioning and plenty of hangers! There is a safe deposite box in every room (fee charge-well worth paying for).

The pools are clean and very nice with a small childs pool and a larger pool. The sunbeds are free.

The food is exceptional with a very varied choice. It is a buffet self service. They have a barbacue night once a week which also has a very varied choice of food.

The entertainment is good and is on most nights - the best night being the Greek night. The Greek night was very profestional and great fun.

The staff are very friendly both staff and managment. There is a kids club which is very well run.

I hope to go back to this Hotel in the not too distant future. A1 Hotel.

The Hotel Anastasia in Stalis is probably the nicest and friendliest hotel we have ever stayed in. Every member of staff was extremely friendly and efficient and nothing was ever too much trouble for anyone.

The food was superb with a large variety each day for everyones taste.

The entertainment was just enough, nothing rowdy, just a friendly evenings entertainment for all.

We have always said we would never go back to a holiday destination but we would certainly visit Hotel Anastasia again without question.

It is brilliant

The Hotel Anastasia is a small family run hotel that makes you feel at home from the minute you arrive.

The staff are excellent and nothing seems too much trouble for them. They go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Room spotless every day.(even folding our clothes up)
Food, top notch and pleased all tastes.

Location, just a little too far from the beach for our liking.

Staff, five star especially Niki in restaurant.

Entertainment, okay.

Stayed at this hotel with my husband my mum and 3 children well what can I say had a fantastic time at this hotel the rooms were cleaned every day wasnt over impressed with the breakfast but the eveing meal was quite good even though sometimes you would have to heat the food up in a microwave.

The hotel staff were very friendly.

Entertainment wasn't brilliant but if you walked in to the town there was plenty of karaoke bars bingo and quizzes etc

I would definitely go back to this hotel.
