Hersonissos Palace

Good hotel in convenient location

We have recently had a week stay at this hotel which has turned out to be a great experience. Hotel is well situated 2 minutes from beach and main town. We particularly enjoyed the know bar which is a bar on the main strip which the hotel owns and offers all inclusive drinks up till midnight. You can also dine here one evening during your stay. A cocktail night was enjoyed with live music and food also. Food in this hotel is probably the best we have had at any hotel abroad we have visited and we are fussy eaters. Loads of choice , 2 live food stations and something for everyone. Different food themes each evening. The restaurant manager is very accommodating and on hand to ensure smooth running of restaurant. Thanks very much to all the chefs for such high standards. All in all a truly amazing time. Thanks very much and we will return to this beautiful island.

If your looking for all 5 stars of luxury…..then this is not the hotel for you , however, if you are looking for an average 3 star, comfortable and clean hotel then you’ll be just fine! We have just checked out after staying here for 4 nights. The rooms themselves are what save this hotel. Incredibly clean, lovely 4 post bed with a nice sized balcony. Cleaned each day to a high standard and all you need, with a nice size bathroom and shower. The food is your average all inclusive selection, we didn’t eat in the evening here as chose to eat out however did make use of the breakfast selection and lunch. It was ok. Not wonderful but served it’s purpose. The drinks are awful!!! Very watered down and cocktails just taste….odd!?!! I didn’t find one drink that I liked, even the soft drinks at breakfast were not nice. My partner said the beer was ok. Wine is very watered down and almost vinagery tasting! For one night of your stay you can eat at the beach bar included in the all inclusive, which we were looking forward to and you pre-book your table. There’s one choice of starter, 2 deep fried mozzarella sticks, 2 onion rings and 2 deep fried chicken wings. Then you have a choice of two salads, which to be fair the goats cheese one was very tasty. Then you can choose a burger, I chose the chicken, expecting a chicken fillet. I couldn’t eat it, it was just a processed chicken burger, soggy and tasteless, straight out of a freezer! One option for desert, all the above was quite dissatisfying and left feeling quite yucky! The pool area near the bar is kept nice and clean and so is the rest of the hotel, the cleanliness is the main positive. Sunbeds go very early and not many around the pool, there is a second pool but we didn’t go to this so can not comment on that. Location is close to the beach and slightly out of the main stretch, which is nice. We didn’t find noise to be a problem at all. We rented a car and found some lovely places to visit so overall had a really nice stay, hotel was adequate as a base for the few nights we were here but not sure how it’s gained a 5 star rating, we have stayed in nicer 4 star hotels. With a few improvements, this hotel could be much better than it currently is, however it’s not terrible either!
