All in all a good place to stay, although well unfortunately won’t consider staying there in the future. Following aspects didn’t meet our expectations/were inconvenient:
1. Pool wasn’t heated (bad in autumn/winter)

Our stay for our honeymoon was amazing. The staff upgraded us to the most incredible room, and every single staff member is extremely kind and friendly. The all inclusive food was delicious and plentiful
I stayed at this hotel for 7 days, and my experience exceeded my expectations. The staff were lovely and attentive, and all my requests were fully satisfied. The food was tasty, with a good variety of options available
The hotel’s facilities were excellent, and the atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. The only minor drawback was that the pool is quite small, but it doesn’t take away from the overall great experience
From the moment i arrived at the Palmera Spa Hotel, i knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere is the perfect blend of luxury and relaxation, modern comfort wrapped in a serene, welcoming setting
Food was well varied and always of good quality, we ate well every day, there were plenty of drink options. The garden with the sunlougers was very beautiful and was a nice place to ay in the sun and relax

We stayed in a pool view maisonette which had everything you could want for a self catering stay. I know some rooms had amazing sea views too. The pool is very small (but well maintained)
Great stay here at the hotel. The Spa team around Mikaela is awesome. If you catch a rainy day (or not) it‘s an absolute recommendation to get the full Cretan body massage - Aspasia and Ifigenia are awesome! 5/5 stars!
Spa experience with Aspasia was absolutely exceptional. From the moment the treatment began, she created such a calm and soothing atmosphere that I was able to completely switch off and relax
I took a "Sweet Love" package for my treatment option. Ifigenia, who executed the treatment, was very professional, friendly and clearly experienced at her job. Would heartily recommend the spa!
Aspasia clearly has a real talent for what she does. Her professionalism, care, and attention to detail made this one of the best treatments I’ve had
I think it is much better suited to adults (than children) as there is not so much much room for swimming but it’s perfect for cooling off. The staff are all very kind and the barman is quite funny

The only good part of staying here was their food, the kitchen staff were nice people, and I liked their pool area, but that’s it
I highly recommend staying at this hotel. They pay great attention to cleanliness, and the food is typically touristy but good. And then, something very important to me, the staff is really kind
I'm a little clumsy at times, but they were incredibly patient
Clearly the receptionist lied to us, which is not very nice if you ask me. Moreover, there was no shower gel in the bathroom (and from my experience, hotels usually give you little bottles of shower gel among others)
The hotel itself is clean and tidy, but the food variety is poor. There’s very little fruit available, and there are no snacks or fruit offered between 2 pm and 7 pm, even though we had an all-inclusive package
We went back to the reception and asked the receptionist (a young guy) if this is their standard triple room since we saw something else on their website

Pretty good place, the pools great and the food was really nice and theres amazing people there too, the only thing that bothered me were the mosquitoes but its okay.
We had a lovely stay at Heronissos! The team there was incredibly welcoming and organized, ensuring everything felt easy from the moment we checked in
The sunbeds come with tables and umbrellas, and there are plenty of lovely seating areas around the pool to relax. The staff work incredibly hard to keep the whole resort immaculate
It's the little things that count, and the staff's willingness to help really stood out. To top it off, the food was excellent. Thank you for a fantastic holiday!
We visited Crete in September and our stay at this hotel was the best. Thank you all for giving us unique experiences and we will be back soon.
We stayed at the end of September and had an amazing stay. We would highly recommend this hotel – it’s beautiful, spotless, and very well kept, offering a genuine 4-star holiday experience

Entertainment - there was a very enthusiastic guy leading the entertainment both during the day and in the evening, I honestly don’t know how he kept going! Around the pool there were games daily, aqua fit and water polo
Lovely friendly and extremely hardworking staff we stayed in block 200 which is in excellent position between the main pool and the adult (quiet) pool
The gym was very small and no air con so advise getting there before the day gets too hot! Layout - the photos always give the impression it’s quite compact but if you aren’t near the centre then it’s a long walk up a big hill! Luckily there was a van / golf cart to help out
There were other activities too such as Pilates - possibly the best view I’ve ever had doing Pilates! There could have been a bit more for teens, and it was a shame the games room wasn’t in the centre of the hotel but a bit further out, but that was only a tiny thing
If you are looking to hire a car this can be done easily from the hotel for a reasonable price, but there are also a multitude of car / quad bike/scooter hire companies on the doorstep and bus connection is just outside the hotel
When we arrived we let them know and they showed my son all the things he could have. They were also happy to prepare gluten free bread, pizza and pasta too, and it really seemed no bother

TUI, I do think you’re missing a trick with a pool part for teenage kids as the resort is massive and you need to do is add the signs and you’re done. 👍🏻 overall a decent place if you have young children
Amazing hotel in a great location. Beautiful and clean, nothing too much trouble. The staff were really helpful and the rooms well equipped with everything you need
All inclusive includes a fridge of drinks which are refilled each day including fizzy drinks, water and beer. Sunbeds were a little difficult to get around adult pools mid-September but not a major issue
Certainly lives up to its 5* rating. Thoroughly clean & cleanliness maintained in all aspects of the complex. Excellent quality bed linen & bathroom towels
Every evening he brought us excellent drinks and was always so nice and friendly! The cats in the Hotel also were very friendly and nice! 🐱
The Jacuzzi was not heated, unfortunately, even though they said so
All food was presented impeccably, freshly prepared, presented & cooked. High standard of food presented was maintained throughout holiday. All staff were welcoming, very friendly & professional
Everything was spotless — cleanliness is clearly a priority here. What really stood out was the staff: always kind, helpful, and truly attentive to guests’ needs. Their warm hospitality made us feel very welcome
It was amazing, from the beginning we arrived until we checked out, everything was beyond exceptional. The staff was always very polite. The hotel is very modern and has everything you need for a good stay.
A serene boutique, with first day discounts
If you go check it out! The whole atmosphere and energy is uplifting throughout the hotel. No details are left out and lots of intrinsic detail throughout to add character
The services were excellent, from well-kept facilities to smooth, hassle-free arrangements throughout my stay. Everything felt thoughtfully managed and designed for comfort
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better
I had a wonderful stay at NEMA Design Hotel & Spa. The location is perfect, set in a beautiful and relaxing area that makes it easy to unwind from the moment you arrive

One particular evening, his favourite dessert was not on display and the chef asked if everything was alright, when I joked there was no jelly, he appeared with a few jellies for him
Outstanding customer service! Waiters and cleaners were also extremely attentive, the waiters joked with our daughter calling her 'Max' as she looked liked Max from Stranger Things and the cleaners always left our rooms spotless, leaving sweets on the pillow or displaying our pjs on the bed
They then went out of their way to ensure their was lots of variety of foods for him to choose from each always checking in with us each evening to ensure he was ok
Beach was small with paid sun-beds and umbrella, but last day we just stayed around pool where beds are free and went for few dips in the see from there. Inflatables are free to use and stacked by the pool
Victoria was fantastic, I've had many massages and she was by far the best
Pool area Lovely comfy sunbeds however you need to reserve early to get a spot by the pool. At times it is quite a shady area with the trees and the building itself. Restaurant Plenty of choice of food

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel!
The staff was welcoming, friendly, and always available. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped
Please don't take glasses (in case U don't order) from table on diner time
All staff were first class, Stefanos the Restaurant Manager was five star and personable in attendance to us and it was a joy to chat with him.
The pools are all amazing and accessible beach made the stay enjoyable.
The only food that was tasty and appropriate for the hotel level was the food that was paid extra in the restaurant on the beach/pool
Room was kept clean, the cleaners are so friendly as were the pool/bar staff as well as spa. Emma the spa manager was lovely as was our therapist Dimirta
The hotel should give guests complimentary late checkout especially when they are not so busy. The hotel is beautiful and the food did not fail during our half board stay
The lady who checked me in was super friendly and l liked that they actually took you to your room when you first check in that is a nice touch
And the bath towels were not big enough, they were just medium size hand towels
I booked this hotel through jet2 package holidays! It was my first time staying in Greece
I stayed for a week!
Pros:
• The hotel staff are lovely, that is everybody from the house keepers to the kitchen and wait staff to the people at the front desk
I would especially like to thank two amazing people at the pool bar: George and Costas. They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional
The pool area is ok but definitely has the feel of it having once been a car park or something. Breakfast is just ok, food selection is broad but the quality is really quite poor
I have stayed at multiple JW and Ritz hotels and the service here is at that level if not better. The hotel itself is immaculate. Our room was always super clean with fresh towels and sheets
The breakfast was perfect, so much choice! The hotel is well located with a huge amount of restaurants and bars on the doorstep, and lovely places like Koutouloufari and Stalis just a short distance away
There are also rental car agencies near the hotel where you can rent a car for a day and go hike Timios Stavros (the tallest mountain on Crete and another Unesco heritage site)
We had the best time at Vasia Boulevard. The staff were amazingly helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The room was spotlessly clean and fresh bedding supplied everyday
Two minute walk to the bus stop where the local bus can take you up and down the coast for a couple of Euros. This is important because the local taxis are $$$$
Even though you are on the other side of the island from Samaria Gorge, you can still arrange a tour with an agent in town (highly recommended)

The rooms fit every budget, and cleanliness was excellent in our experience daily tidying, frequent towel changes, and fresh sheets twice a week Breakfast was good with plenty of choices, including local dishes, hot options, desserts, coffee and juices
The rooms suit all budgets, from simple studios to more luxurious apartments, and ours was kept very clean, towels replaced every couple of days (sometimes even daily!) and sheets changed twice a week
Breakfast was tasty and had a nice mix of local foods, hot dishes and sweets
Friendly staff, clean room, nice pool, a lot of young people , you have luggage room to leave your luggage until your room is ready to check in, billiard table and a nice view from balcony
Agrabella Hotel is such a gem in Hersonissos! The location is spot-on, just a short walk (2–3 minutes) to tavernas, supermarkets, the bus stop, and the beach, but tucked away in a quiet spot, away from the late night noise you usually get right by the sea
It’s a family-run business, and you can really feel the care
Some guests complain it’s “the same every day” but in reality, it’s more of a Mediterranean spread of starters, and we enjoyed it. Only minor downside… don’t expect sea views unless you book the luxury top-floor rooms
The location is perfect, just 2–3 minutes to the sea, tavernas, shops, bus stops, and even the local aquarium (which we definitely recommend visiting), yet still quiet and peaceful at night

Mrs Christilo was such a gem! ❤️ The whole team is so helpful and has the best hospitality! We really really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is located slightly sheltered from the nightlife noise and has great views
Anna Maria made us feel very cozy, always with a smile and ready to assist at all times. We really enjoyed the tasteful breakfast at the roof top bar/restaurant, overlooking the amazing sea and the clear blue sky
We stayed for 14 days at this beautiful and cosy hotel. We booked two rooms with sea view and the rooms were clean, comfy and had all the amenities you need for a pleasant stay
Robes, slippers, beach towels, Scandinavian Skog ( lush hotel amenities!!). Loved it!! The breakfast was on the rooftop , and had all you need to kickstart the day. So delicious and great variation
A great holiday right on the coast way of Hersonissos! Excellent "adults only" concept, very clean with amazing people and very convenient to enjoy the busy life of the city
Booked an economy room (atrium) for a great deal, we stayed for 4 days and decided to continue for 3 more days at a Sea view room. Both types really worth every cent

Any query we had was dealt with perfectly by the front desk where whoever we spoke to was more than happy to go above and beyond to help. Pool staff were really lovely and bar staff too
The music in the day was not too loud which was great and almost sunbeds were in sunlight most of the day too which was great for October! The pool was always very clean and not too busy even though the hotel was fully booked, and rarely had reserved sunbeds too
Our stay at Cooks Club Hersonissos was amazing. Firstly the staff were all incredible
With half board, you get a credit to spend — which is actually a clever system — and the food itself was very good and delicious. But having to pay extra for a cappuccino at breakfast is just absurd
That should simply be included 🤷🏼♀️
The location is great too being only a 5 minute walk from most busy restaurants at the seafront

Pool area is very quiet and doesnt really get much sun in the day time until later, I only spent my first day around the pool and was alone most of the time, the rest of the time I went to the beach or excursions
It does mention that towels are only cleaned once every 2 days, but in a 7 day-stay, I think my bedding was only changed twice, so the cleaning schedule is a bit sporadic
Special shout outs to Genti the barman, who was really funny; friendly and helpful, Elli and Yannis at reception, and the waiting staff at breakfast and dinner all lovely, friendly and helpful as I was travelling solo
We stayed in this hotel for 7 days in July of 2024. Here is a short recap and a recommendation:
-location: 3 minutes walking distance to the main street, 5 minutes from first beach, still always so quite and peaceful
Otherwise, the rooms are always very clean. The location is ideal, the walk to the shopping street is very short, and the beach is just behind it. You can reach everything on foot, but we didn't experience any noise
I went across to the reception, and someone came over to fix it right away! They had also saved me some light salad/ cheeses/ meats as it was past the dinner time, which I thought was really nice

The only thing that we could complain about was the pool area - the pool itself is stunning and overlooks the golf course BUT there are too few loungers and too few towels!!! So we arrived on one occasion to nowhere to sit and nothing to dry ourselves with - not ideal, one family with little children were all sat on one lounger! The pool area is not manned in any way so once the towels are gone they...
There were only a few people and we extended until 2 p.m. because of golf at 10:20 a.m. and we were charged a day use at €30, not very commercial, plus no rate on the Green Fée as a hotel guest... golf hotel not great
The room is very luxurious and spacious. The food was delicious and overall a great place to stay after a round of golf! I would reccommend staying here when playing golf or just if you look for some time to relax!
Staff went above and beyond our expectations!
Lovely, friendly and helpful people.
Once again, thank you guys! Hope we can come back in September.
Hotel is quiet, classy and very comfortable.
Highly recommended it.
The hotel was absolutely superb, we were there for a 3 night stay at the end of a weeks villa holiday and it was perfect. Rooms were massive, food was excellent, staff were so friendly and helpful
The hotel exceeded all our expectations. The room was impeccably clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. The view during breakfast was breathtaking, like something out of a painting

This is our third time there, after twice in 2012+2013, and now again in 2025! What can I say - it was such a wise choice to return! Everything that made it a magical paradise in the past has stayed the same, and on top of that, some things were even upgraded (the new pool and renovated eating area are beautiful)
Perfect accomodation, very clean and spacious, also the furniture is very modern and new. The best is the private outdoor area with a private pool. There is a fence around this area, for a maximum of privacy
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff in particular Mike and Babis were so welcoming and looked after us in the restaurant. The villas are well equipped and the private pools a really good size
Nothing was too much bother for the staff. Genuinely happy staff that cared about their customers visiting. We look forward to returning to this hotel/resort
I can't say enough about the exceptional hospitality! Eleni and Pol, along with the entire staff, are the friendliest and most welcoming people you will meet anywhere in the world
It was like a family :-) At least, the price is European average and very OK for the overall quality. For us it is a rating of 100%, we come back :-)

Room service comes everyday and a good supply of fresh towels are never a problem. There has never been a race to the sun beds. 2 pools have enough for most sun bathers
Although the pool around the back is cold compared to the main pool. The bar staff are fantastic, well done to George, Paulina and Manos for having a smile and a joke with us. You helped make the holiday enjoyanle
Two small/medium sized pools, with plenty of sun beds (for the size of the hotel) but pools are not heated, with how cold they are they may even put ice in them! The rooms are ok, more than good enough for me but some may say they could be a tad cleaner
Other benefits: an air conditioner, a balcony with chairs and table, 2 large mirrors, a tea set with electric kettle (but why is it connected in the closet?), and a fridge that unfortunately gathers a bit of water inside
Rooms 🏢
Spacious, clean, no complaints regarding the standard. Medium-sized bathroom – for bigger people it may be hard to manoeuvre, e
Fantastic location, nice and close to the beach and the main strip with all the bars and restaurants, also very close to the hills which are great for a nice hike! Loads of cats in and around the hotel, we loved it but some may not like that!

Housekeeping and towel replacement were only every two days. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice, relaxing atmosphere and a pleasant pool area
We had the most relaxing time at this beautiful modern clean hotel. every single member of staff made our holiday so special. The receptionist on our arrival personally showing us our room
The lovely cleaning ladies with their friendly kindness every single day. The restaurant staff were all friendly and food was outstanding. Breakfast was superb with eggs cooked as you desired
The breakfast buffet is out of this world and the restaurant was also delicious. The hotel is located just across the road from the beach which is great for swimming and relaxing
Everyone we came across throughout our week there were so friendly and answered any questions we had. I'd emailed many times prior to arriving and my emails were answered within hours
even the residents were friendly so nice we didn't feel we wanted to go anywhere! We had exactly what we wanted a beautiful relaxed chilled happy time

The indoor pool in the basement was small and cramped. Many places to eat or shop in close proximity, although most of the restaurants along the beach were similar in menu. Decent availability for trip pickups nearby
The hotel is simply charming, everything is new and lovely, the rooms are very comfortable and very clean, there is a lovely spa and a pool on the roof and it is really wow
Cleaning time was also wildly inconsistent, anytime between 12pm-5pm, making it hard if you just want a few hours inside without being disturbed. The pools were exactly as pictured, and was cleaned regularly
First of all, the staff is amazing, they welcome you with a welcoming smile and provide excellent service
The room itself was fine, bigger than what I originally ordered, but mostly empty and had no indoor table, only a sofa that wasn't great to sit on. Rest of the room was fine, as expected
Breakfast was the biggest disappointment. Some bread, half cold eggs and bacons, a bit of fruit, yogurt, and cakes. It would be more appropriate for an average 3 star hotel, not 4 stars
