Suited to families and couples alike, the attractive upper-middle-range Village Heights Golf Resort offers excellent value in a time-share style village resort. It has ample facilities including a mini-golf green, two restaurants (variety of meal plans available), two outdoor pools, two bars, and a decent spa. Its isolated hilly location gives beautiful sea and mountain views. Two hundred apartments are homey, and come with 40-inch TVs, DVD players, full kitchens, and furnished outdoor spaces with sea, mountain, or pool views. However, air-conditioning is centrally controlled. Good kids’ facilities, daily evening entertainment, a free shuttle to Hersonissos, and a cat cafe where guests look after local strays round out the features. Such well-maintained facilities and beautiful grounds are hard to top, but a similar option to consider is Amazones Village Suites.

With plenty of palm trees and colorful flowers decorating its lawns, the grounds at Anissa Beach Hotel are lovely. The all-inclusive, mid-range resort has a sandy beach area with umbrellas and loungers as well as a large outdoor pool area with a children’s pool. There’s also a spa with a free indoor pool and an animation team organizing tournaments and activities, but overall facilities are a bit run-down. There isn’t any Greek food on the hotel’s dinner buffet, but guests can dine at the on-site Greek tavern once a week. There’s not much within walking distance of the hotel, but it's still a suitable option for those looking for a relaxing beach holiday on a budget.****

An eclectic collection of two older buildings grouped around a newer main building with two medium-sized heated freshwater pools, Elmi Suites is centrally located for the attractions of the lively resort area of Hersonissos. It attracts guests with its location and low rates; though it has a couple pools and beach access, the property overall is in need of an update and there are multiple problems with rooms (namely that they can be loud and some have no views). Budget-minded couples and families, however, will likely appreciate those with kitchenettes.

Not much is going for this property despite its incredibly low rates. Nice property features include a small pool and an on-site bar and restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, but rooms are drab and often dirty, with bare walls and dated decor. The entire property shows significant wear and tear, and many guests have complained about the limited options available with the all-inclusive packages.

The 344-room, three-pearl Aldemar Cretan Village is a family-friendly hotel located along a private beach. It offers a solid list of features for kids, including multiple pools, a waterslide, playground, kids’ club, separate buffet and eating area, and engaging activities. Adults appreciate the multiple restaurants, sports facilities, and stretch of beach -- though the rocky ocean floor is a challenge for some. Rooms have dated decor, but they're cheerful and outfitted with flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges. The surrounding area leaves little to do, so those preferring a livelier neighborhood should check out Silva Beach in Hersonissos, though on-site facilities are not as extensive.

The Hersonissos Village Hotel is a whitewashed, village-style property sprawling across a steep hillside, a 10-minute walk from a long sandy beach and 20-minute walk from the resort of Hersonissos. There is a big outdoor pool with panoramic sea views, a tennis court, and pretty gardens on-site. The restaurant and bar serves a buffet and drinks; it also offers serene terrace seating. Rooms are simple and clean, some have balconies with sea views, but the walk to the beach includes a steep hill and some rooms near the pool can be noisy.

This all-inclusive resort sits along a (small) quiet beach, and the property boasts features such as numerous pools, tennis courts, and a spa area. Clean, bright rooms and suites have balconies with sea, pool, or garden views, but can nonetheless be disappointing due to bland decor and tiny bathrooms. Upgrading to a maisonette, however, can get you a private pool and extra goodies like free fruit and wine. There is also a small sandy beach below the property with a beach bar serving a range of drinks and ice cream.

A hit among budget-minded party animals and families seeking a basic place, Hersonissos has a central location. Close to the resort town's main strip, bars, and beach area, the hotel has little on-site beside a pool, restaurant, and dated, spacious rooms. However, the rates (all-inclusive is available) are often among some of the lowest in the area.

An extremely basic, hostel-like property close to all of lively Hersonissos’ attractions, Vasso is a budget option with a small outdoor pool. Reception staff is helpful but often absent. Rooms are dingy and drab, resembling institutional dorm rooms; some guests have complained about moldy bathrooms. There is a restaurant and 24-hour pool bar on-site, but the location is on a noisy main road and many guest have reported repeated cleanliness issues.

There’s no pool at Evelyn Beach Hotel, a dated, budget property steps from the beach, where fees are imposed for everything from towels to safety deposit boxes. Half-board and full-board meal options are available, and the hotel prepares a lot of Greek salads for the buffet, with terrace dining overlooking the beach. The 76 rooms are kept clean but have an outdated feel. Still, guests recommend getting a room with a balcony overlooking the ocean. Visitors looking for a lively location may want to check out Pela Maria, a value hotel on the area’s main street with an outdoor pool.****
