Just got back from an amazing stay at Palmera Beach Hotel & Spa in Crete! The hotel was very clean and well maintained, and all the staff were super friendly and polite.
The food was honestly incredible – something different every day with loads of variety, so there’s definitely something for everyone. Breakfast was the only thing that stayed the same (the usual eggs, beans, bacon, hashbrowns), but they also had fresh fruit, cereals, and the pancakes and waffles were so good. The desserts were out of this world – not only delicious but beautifully presented too.
The bar was another highlight – the bartender made one of the best mojitos I’ve ever had, and his signature cocktail was absolutely perfect. Just be aware that not all alcoholic drinks are included in the all-inclusive package – cocktails and premium spirits are an extra charge, which is worth noting.
If you have a late flight after check-out, the hotel provides a luggage room, showers, and toilets so you can freshen up before you leave – a really thoughtful and helpful touch.
Only downsides: the pool is very small (we didn’t use it at all), and our room, while clean, was quite tiny – more like a single than a double.
That said, everything else was fantastic. The location is ideal – right on the main strip of Hersonissos, surrounded by great restaurants, bars, and clubs. During the day, there are plenty of sunbeds by the beach available to rent just across the road.
Would definitely recommend – great food, great atmosphere, and great mojitos!

My stay was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by an extremely polite, attentive, and helpful team. I especially want to highlight the front desk staff — they are truly a 10 out of 10! Always friendly, available, and ready to assist with genuine kindness. Every team member showed great care and attention to detail.
The room was beautiful, very well-lit, cozy, and absolutely a 10! Everything was spotless, and the toiletries had a lovely fragrance — I loved every detail. Everything was perfect: the atmosphere, the service, and the attention to detail. A wonderful experience!
Just as a suggestion to make things even better: it would be helpful to have clearer internal maps or signage, as the hotel is quite large and I got lost a couple of times. Also, having a small sign next to the room phone with useful numbers like reception would be great.
I had an amazing two-day stay and will definitely return. Highly recommended — congratulations to the entire team for the outstanding work!

A truly charming hotel. The staff was warm and professional and the location is ideal-right by the beach and close to the town center. We especially loved enjoying breakfast and dinner in the hotel’s peaceful garden with delicious food and good wine. Special Thanks to Vasyl, who treated guests with great respect and showed true dedication to his work - a real gem. He truly added a personal touch to our stay. We would love to return.

I recently stayed at Palmera Seaside Hotel for four nights at the end of June, and honestly, it was such a lovely experience from start to finish. The hotel is perfectly located right next to the sea, and the view from the room terrace was absolutely stunning—especially in the evenings with the cool sea breeze. It made every moment on the balcony feel special.
I chose the half-board option and I’m so glad I did! The food was amazing—both breakfast and dinner buffets offered a great variety, always fresh and delicious. I really looked forward to every meal.
The room service was excellent—timely, clean, and attentive to details. What really stood out, though, was the warmth and friendliness of the entire hotel team. From the manager to the reception staff, restaurant team, and cleaning staff—everyone was genuinely kind, humble, and always ready to help with a smile.
I truly loved every bit of my stay here and would happily return. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a relaxing seaside getaway with great service and a wonderful atmosphere!

I wouldn't go back to this Hotel. The food is about the only thing that's great. All-inclusive Drinks not good at all. The pool is a plunge pool. And was very Dirty until I complained. We had a ground floor room. And no foil to the window so people can see in. Black out curtain had to be closed all the time. So very Dark. We had a curtain fitted by the manager. But it was still very dark. No Cocktails o the All-inclusive. The hotel location is good. We have had a great time. As you just make the most of it.
