This 435-room, upscale beach resort offers a restful atmosphere and solid list of on-site features for both couples and families.

The 500-room, all-inclusive Nana Beach Hotel is a family-friendly resort with a village-like setting along the northern coast of Crete.

The 305-room, three-pearl Mediterraneo Hotel is a family-friendly property located an eight-minute drive from Hersonissos. The hotel has a relaxing atmosphere and plenty of amenities for families, including multiple pools, waterslides, a spa, and sports facilities. However, some areas, such as the kids' club, are showing age. The buffet restaurant serves a variety of tastes, but some guest find the food is so-so. Contemporary, neutral-tone rooms have flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges, but no Wi-Fi. The buildings do scale a steep hill, which is challenging for those with mobility issues. The surrounding area is quiet; those seeking a livelier neighborhood should check out the slightly pricier Star Beach Village and Waterpark, which is on the beach.
