My wife & I have just returned from Crete/Hersonossis Palace Hotel;Oct.2011. The Hotel is listed as 5 star....I would say 3/4 star. Transfer from Heraklion Airport is about 15 minutes by taxi. Location...for Hersonossis--not bad; fairly close to beach/amenities. We were... more

Just back from a great holiday in Hersonnissos. I'll provide a fair and accurate assessment of the hotel as it's my intention to inform other people and not distort the truth and to let you know i'm not in the business destroying reputations. I had read the reviews before... more

The hotel is superbly located less than 5 mins walk from sandy beaches and close to centre of town and all amenities. The staff are all friendly and professional. The hotel is extremely clean with beautiful rooms and balconies. There is a wide choice of food, and AI drinks.... more

First the bad bits. The hotel is a 3 star max not a 5 star as advertised. Little or no entertainment for children is available. Be very aware that all Brits seem to be a soft target for extra charges for your room. On arrival I myself and several other families whom I poke... more

Ok, i booked last minute through teletext online and paid £400 for a week all inc. Now once we got there (35 euros/ 20 mins) from airport we got a room with a balcony facing the pool. Room was very basic/ bathroom was horrible!. To be fair though room was cleaned/changed... more

Loved This Hotel, was Dreading Going After Reading Reviews
Was deading staying here, as read reviews after booking, but, however, went with an open mind ,I have visited many hotels in Greece, and this by far the best great location and very very clean by most greek standards, rooms spacious, towels and linen changed daily. A few minutes walk to lively nightlife if you want it, but quiet enougn at this location if need your sleep, best of both worlds! We went fully inclusive and found the food excellnt(and I'm not easy to please at the best of times re food) and actually gained 7 lbs in one... more
holiday from hell
we think this hotel is totally misrepresentd.it is NOT A 5* we have stayed in better 2*.the beds were hard, the aie conditioning noisy,the food terrible.photo of hotel very misleading,we thought we were at the wrong hotel.there was no entertainment and the babacue was extra even though we were allinclusive.the lounge bar was never open and all guests had to squash into the bar pool on plastice tables and chairs.the resort is loverly but ths hotel has put us of going to crete again mr mrs mason
Very Happy to Go Back
The hotel is not 5 star by ENGLISH standard, but who cares. Food was good, clean bedding and towels every day, nice pool,biggish bedroom, all the alchohol you could drink, beach close by, sea view from balcony, nearby sea front and plenty of bars , shops cafes etc. We will go back one day.
The Worst Hotel We Stayed In Too
We arrived very early in the morning and were expecting a lovely room and a very posh hotel with it being classed 5 star. We got a dark dingy room where the lightshades looked about a 1000 years old. The fridge ice box door kept falling off and was like an igloo. There was no rail in the fridge to stand your bottles up in. The air conditioning was not very good either and the unit started to drip making the tiled floor very slippy. The balcony has cracked and uneven tiles. The wardrobe was basic and looked like MDF lovers had been... more
Worst Hotel I Have Ever Stayed In
This is without doubt the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. First of all, when we checked in we were led down the road "to one of the other of the hotels blocks", although the sign actually said the Alia hotel ! When I complained they said there were no other rooms for 2 days. So, I went to check the rooms in the Alia, found they were disgusting and went back to complain, this time speaking to the manager. He said we could change to the "main building" at 10am the following day. However, when we did change we found that the rooms in... more

This is not a 5* hotel but a 2* hotel at the best. it is the worst hotel i have ever stayed in. it has no children's facilities, the swimming pools are disgustingly dirty making my hair green and they are over 6ft deep and very dangerous for younger children and non-swimmers. it is not all-inclusive as there are no snacks during the day except for a dried up old biscuit the size of a 50 pence piece with tea. the staff are ignorant and unhelpful and hate the english. if you are english you barely hear your own language spoken as everyone is... more
surely we r at the set of youve been framed!!!
where do i start!!! Firstly id like to point out the tour operaters in question recieved a 6pg letter regardin gow bad this hotel is! When we got to the hotel we were put in the other small hotel they owned with no security(2girls on our own) no pool really(6ftx6ft) and def no view other than that of another hotel. We were moved to the main bliudin although they were tryin to convience us not too! the food was awful, stale and curdling... many things being put out day afta day. Drinks rotten! neone eva heard of brizz cola..... u... more
dont go there!!!!
This hotel was not by any means 5 star ,we booked all inclusive for the first time and spent just the same as self catering! Therefor no goodies were bought. We went with another couple who have very good experiance of five star and all inclusive, i know if we hadnt this place would have put us off all inclusive for life!! The food was boring same thing disguised with sauces thrown over it, bar staff or any other staff didnt want to know you, not unless you were german or dutch. we were polite and curtious with no responce from staff or... more
not 5 star!
this hotel was booked as a 5 star but it clearly wasnt.if it was advertised as 3 star-no complaint,clean,food ok but a bit repetitive. overall not as bad as most of the reviews ive read here but it is not 5 star!
Fantastic hotel!!!!!
That was an absolutely fantastic hotel. I was disapointed when i read the reviews other people wrote about this hotel but when I got there it ended up to be one of the best holidays I ever had. Definetely 5* hotel!!!!!
