The day before yesterday I returned from a holiday in Hersonissos (I had a rest for 8 days at the end of June). And was satisfied with everything:
1) check-in - the hotel has English-speaking staff, so when checking in, be prepared to ask / answer questions in English (in this case, perfect command is not necessary). If English is very tight, then ask to connect you with a representative of the tour operator by phone at the reception. By the way, the representative of the tour operator is not in the hotel all the time, because. Serves several vacation spots. During the welcome meeting with the representative (usually the morning after the day of arrival), check the time of the visits at your hotel.
Our settlement went off with a bang. After reading reviews about living in the basement, we immediately asked for a higher room (our tour packer included accommodation in the Anex double room). What was our surprise when we opened the doors of the room: 2-room premise of approximately 40 sq. m. , one of them is a bedroom with a large LCD TV, 2 air conditioners, a large wardrobe, a dressing table and bedside tables; the second room has a single bed, refrigerator, LCD TV, air conditioning, dining table and chairs. Each room has a balcony overlooking the sea. Our 3-story building was across a narrow, uninhabited road. In general, we were satisfied with what we saw. As it turned out later, people who purchased more expensive rooms lived in conditions that were inferior to ours (smaller rooms).

2) beach - all beaches in Hersonissos are free, sun loungers on the beach are for an additional fee, beach towels are not provided (provided only for visiting the pools (there are 2 of them with sea water in this hotel). The beach at the hotel is sandy, but entering the sea not very convenient, because the bottom is rocky (the stones are large, slippery, and sometimes sharp). The water in the sea during our stay did not exceed 22 degrees. The sea was constantly stormy. But it was possible to swim.
3) the territory of the hotel is always clean and well maintained. The pools are cleaned every morning, because during the night they get plastic glasses)). Lots of greenery and flowers, the music plays quietly in the bars, so you can take a nap near the pools. It is worth noting that the hotel does not accept tourists with children under 14, so it is always quiet and calm there. The main part of the tourists - the British, Germans, French, Italians, Poles. Russians and Ukrainians were 20 percent (but quiet and calm). Animation is not particularly active and relaxed.
4) meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner are held in the main restaurant, there are no queues, the choice of food is quite extensive, during the week the proposed assortment changed daily. In the intervals between the main meals in bars, you can drink unlimited amounts of beer, carbonated drinks (cola, sprite, fanta), water, tea, coffee, and ice cream in bars.
In general, the rest corresponds to the money that we paid.
Of the minuses, I can note that during the period of our stay, air conditioners and a refrigerator did not work well in the room (but it was not hot outside), there were a lot of mosquitoes.
