Village Heights Resort

The resort and its setting

Village Heights Resort is an independent, exchange-affiliated timeshare property built in a Cretan village style, spread across a hillside above Ano Hersonissos. The layout favours low-rise units grouped around courtyards and stepped terraces, with sea and hillside views depending on position. On-site facilities include poolside dining and a mini-golf course, and the resort has built up a strong local reputation, rated 4.7 out of 5 from over 1,300 Google reviews. It's a standalone timeshare property — there's no separate hotel brand attached, which is typical of many long-established Cretan resorts that have remained independently run rather than joining a major chain.

Ano Hersonissos and things to do

Ano Hersonissos is the quieter, elevated "old town" counterpart to the busier coastal strip of Hersonissos below, one of Crete's best-known holiday resorts for its beaches, nightlife, and water sports. The area sits roughly midway along Crete's north coast, within easy reach of Heraklion to the west and the Lasithi region to the east. Expect typical Cretan holiday staples nearby: tavernas, local wineries, beach clubs, and boat trips along the coast. Heraklion, Crete's capital, is a manageable drive away and worth a day trip for its archaeological museum and the nearby Palace of Knossos.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Village Heights Resort and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent on BidMyTimeshare.com. This is a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, write your own listing, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. No commission is taken on the sale or rental — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to post the ad, and that's the only cost involved.

Because Village Heights Resort is independent rather than tied to one of the big branded timeshare groups, resale here typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded head-office transfer process. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort: the fee for transferring the week into the new owner's name, the current annual maintenance fee, and whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resale. These details vary by contract and can change, so always get current figures in writing from the resort before finalising a sale.

A resale buyer generally receives the usage rights and obligations tied to the specific week and unit type purchased — they do not automatically inherit any loyalty perks, promotional upgrades, or banked points the previous owner may have accumulated. The resort's RCI affiliation (verified for this property) is a separate membership, and exchange fees apply independently if the new owner wishes to continue exchanging through that network.

Practical notes for buyers and renters

Renters searching for a week at Village Heights Resort are typically looking at Crete's shoulder season (spring or autumn) for better value and fewer crowds, or peak summer for full beach weather. Given the hillside setting, ask the owner about step access and views when booking. Because this is a resale and rental marketplace rather than the resort itself, always verify unit size, week number, and any fees directly with the seller or the resort's management before completing a booking or purchase.
