We had an amazing holiday!! We have only just arrived back & wish we were still there!! Lovely hotel with nice rooms & we had a fantastic view. Nice swimming pool again with a great view of the mountain behind and the sea in front!!
If you have walking difficulties we wouldn't reccommend it as it is on the top of the hillside. We thought it was a great location nice and quite with a few restaurants & bars nearby. The nearby town of Hersonissos was within walking distance if you wanted the nightlife but again is an up hill walk back to the hotel. Overall we had a fantastic time & would definitely go back in the future!

The rooms were very spacious with all the amenities for self catering although we preferred to eat in the local restaurants. The maid was very quick and efficient, even washing our coffee cups to keep the place spick and span. The breakfast was delicious with los of choice to suit all tastes. A really good place to stay

We stayed here for 8 nights and enjoyed every moment. Our room was the Aristomache (H1) which had an excellent view of the sea and the village. Katerina was the lovely lady in charge, and was helpful when we had any questions regarding our stay. Breakfast is included and they set out a range of excellent food for all tastes. Someone comes in everyday to clean and change our towels, except Sundays. There is also a pool on site, however we spent our time on the beach. Surprisingly, many people staying here chose to hang out at the pool everyday. We will be definitely be staying here next time we are in Crete.

In the evening, you can relax here and enjoy happy hour or walk to the village of Piskapiano where there are lovely restaurants, and if you walk a further 6 minutes you enter in the village of Koutalafaria (sp) where there are also some more shops and excellent restaurants.
The closest major city was Hersonissos if you are looking for more of an obnoxious night. In my personal opinion, my husband and I did not enjoy our evening there. There are too many early 20 yr olds discovering the ill effects of alcohol. You could smell it on the streets. Didn't find many great authentic Greek restaurants; however we didnt want to stay there too long to explore any further. Also the town is over run by young men on the quad bikes. Chav fest, really. But this sort of ambience may float your boat.
Overall, to experience the hospitality of the greeks and the amazing traditional food, explore the island and you will discover many beautiful beaches. Trek through the mountains to the south part of the island, and visit the many palaces and other historical sites. The best thing to do is to rent a car in Crete. This truly made our lives much easier and we saw a lot more.
Enjoy your trip!

Have just returned from the most idyllic holiday in Crete. Stayed at the Amazones Village Suites in a village on the outskirts of Hersonissos (not Stallis - although they are owned by the same group). The views were fantastic, the hotel of an exceptional standard with spacious rooms that were spotlessly clean. The maid even did your washing up if you left it(thank you). Air con included, fresh linen/towels daily. The pool is beautiful, again with fantastic views and very rarely that busy that you can't get a lounger (which are made of wicker not plastic). The staff can't do enough for you and everything is done quickly and efficiently. There is a buffet breakfast with plenty to offer (although no fry up for those of you who can't do without) but it was so hot that fruit, croissants etc were far more digestable. (There are tavernas in the village that do offer a fry up if you have withdrawal symptoms). Piskopiano village and Koutalafari next door are wonderful places to eat with traditional cretan dishes. The town of Hersonissos is a 15 min walk away but noisy and packed in comparison. The hotel bar is friendly and many a night we sat drinking till late. There is no evening entertainment but that did not matter as it meant we were all able to sleep without being disturbed . The only point I would make is that you need good walking shoes as it is very very hilly, but its a good way to work of all the lovely local food. Am already planning to go back next year!!!!
