There’s a really mixed set of reviews for this hotel so I wasn’t sure what to expect when we arrived, on the most part the hotel and our stay was really good, there’s just a few things that could be improved in my opinion. Rooms We stayed in the annexe across the road, room was spacious, a few people mention the size of the bathroom but I didn’t think it was a problem. The room did smell faintly of stale cigarettes on our first day but not much the hotel can do if people don’t obey the smoking rules. Beds were comfy, didn’t hear any noise from the beach club or the road. As a few people have mentioned there’s areas of the hotel that could do with a bit of TLC but it’s all clean and well presented albeit a little dated. Food We ate at the buffet lunch and dinner, also at La Strada and prime burger which you’re allowed to visit once each week stay. Food was really good, as you’d expect with all inc buffet it can get repetitive but the quality of food was always really good. We ate out for either lunch or dinner each day, there’s so many lovely restaurants around hersonissis it really would be a waste not to try some of them while you’re here. There are queues to get in the buffet restaurant at lunch, I think the hotel would benefit from a snack bar type option for food throughout the day. There are snacks in the romantic bar late afternoon but these are a very limited buffet selection. Drinks The cocktail menu could be better, there’s “Premium” cocktails you have to pay extra for. In my opinion they should just all be included (the ingredients for most could be ordered as separate drinks if you could be bothered DIYing your cocktail), just seems unnecessary to charge extra on all inclusive. Entertainment We didn’t see any of the evening entertainment so can’t comment, the guy around the pool works really hard all day getting everyone involved in the daytime activities. Staff All staff throughout the hotel have been amazing, they work so hard and are polite and can’t do enough for you. Bar staff, restaurant manager, receptionists, waitresses all a credit to the hotel. Gym/Spa Didn’t use these, would have used the gym if there had been a decent free weights section but was just cardio equipment. In summary I’d come back here, the resort is fabulous, the hotel is good, a few small changes and I’d rate it 5/5.
