Cook's Club Hersonissos Crete

Great Experience!

Just at the airport ready to fly back to the uk. Cooks club was amazing . We booked for b&b for two weeks but on our second week we upgraded to half board . The food was amazing 5* all the way . The portion sizes were huge and probably only need one of us to upgrade . The hotel itself is very clean and the staff are fantastic and always smiling . Marianna ( with the dreadlocks ) in the cantina was lovely , and always explained what the food was as I’m a fussy eater and am a pescatarian. The room we had looked over the pool and was not large and the double bed we had was two beds put together . Would have rather had a bigger room and a double bed as this was my special birthday holiday . But we made do . The rooms have a small fridge but no kettle . I asked reception if they had a kettle and they arranged for one to use the whole stay which is brilliant . Unfortunately I fell unwell after the first week with a throat infection and lost my voice .. my throat was so sore and all I wanted to drink was water or hot honey, lemon and in hot water . Most of the staff were very good at getting me this as it was the only thing that soothed my throat … except for one bar tender ( small guy ) don’t know his name .. it was just to much trouble for him and said he was to busy to make this me. The gym at cooks club was ok but not the best . Needs to be music and maybe the treadmills need servicing as the belts weren’t smooth and jolted . Smith machine was great and lots of free weights . Overall I would stay again and don’t let the music distract you from booking . We are a couple who are 60 years old and loved every minute .. the cinema nights , the bands that played there and the whole atmosphere was fab

Been so many times and never lets us down Warm welcome from old and new staff Everyone is so friendly and nothing is too much trouble Thanks again to the new manger Stavros doing a great job and good team player I see All the staff work well together My wife and I love the accommodation and the food is so good and freshly prepared If I could give more than 5 stars I would Thanks to Dimitris for arranging our booking and quick visit by Iraklis the group manger but still had time to welcome us back with a smile and big hug .. Looking forward to future years at this amazing hotel

Firstly, I would like to begin my review by saying if you are a group of friends, going on a friends trip with your guys/girls this hotel would be absolutely brilliant for you! The hotel plays very loud music throughout the day so if this is your vibe we would absolutely recommend this hotel. However, unfortunately this hotel was not what my boyfriend and I expected as we were looking for a more relaxing holiday rather than a party one. We love some music throughout the day around the pool however, when read previous reviews saying the music was “very loud” we didn’t expect it to be this loud. The room that we were given was very spacious, clean and had some nice elements of interior to it. It was also nice that our bathroom towels were changed daily. However, the room we were given did not have a private balcony and there were a couple times that we were sharing the space with others guests. This may be okay for people who are open to making new friends or socialising, but for my boyfriend and I this was not ideal. The breakfast was okay, there was a large selection of food but I wouldn’t say it was the best buffet we’ve experienced, especially as we have stayed at the cooks club Iayassos where their breakfast was amazing. The pool seems quite nice in the morning as they don’t start playing loud music until midday, however by the afternoon the pool is extremely busy and it’s almost impossible to get a bed. If there are no beds, we would recommend ‘Lukas Beach bar’ in Stalida where 2 beds were €10 and the food and service was amazing! For any couples who are thinking of coming for a more relaxing get away, we probably wouldn’t recommend as it is located in a very party area and the hotel follows the same vibe. However, as mentioned if you are a group of friends or a couple who enjoys this, we’re sure you’ll love the hotel!

Visited cooks club with friends and had the best time, the location is great, close to the beach. We had half board and the system was great, it didn’t waste food like buffet style hotels. Dinner was absolutely delicious every time, never had a problem portions were huge so we were all well fed. Pool area was lovely and they played music through out the day great vibes. 10/10 would recommend

We arrived late at night and were checked in quickly and given all the relevant information. The hotel app and E wallet were new concepts for me but invaluable during our stay. Our room was a junior suite which was very spacious, immaculately clean and a beautiful modern decor. The kitchenette had a fridge, 2 ring hob and cupboard space. Only downside was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. The reception, bar, restaurant, spa and cleaning staff were all very helpful and friendly. A special mention to Erika who informed us of the daily activities and entertainment. Erika also went above and beyond to provide information to help us plan excursions, nothing was ever a bother. Various areas around the pool to enjoy the sunshine, never had an issue getting a sun lounger. The DJ's played a good variety of music with upbeat, fun vibes. Had the best week and would definitely recommend to anyone looking a central location.

Myself and 4 other friends have just returned from a week long stay here and we absolutely cannot fault it! The staff are fantastic and made us feel so welcome! Special thanks to Jonathan, Leon, Stratos & Erika! The food is also amazing and reasonably priced! They don’t allow people to reserve sun beds and are very on top of it, which means you don’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn to get a bed! The whole vibe of the hotel is immaculate, good music, delicious frozen cocktails and lots of different areas to hang out! Such a lively & fun place to be! Thank you for a lovely stay we will definitely be back!!

Great hotel. Pool is fantastic with lots of comfy sunbeds and beanbags. Only negative about the pool is you have to wake up early if you want a good spot. Room was modern and clean and the maids come every day which is great. Breakfast was okay, choice of fruit could be better. However, lunch and dinner options were unreal! The massive projector was great to watch the footy on aswell. Awesome hotel, would defo recommend if you’re a young adult!

We stayed at Cook’s Club in mid-June 2024, I was travelling with my husband. The pool area is fantastic, there is chilled music with a DJ playing through the afternoon and evening and chilled music on speakers the rest of the day. I felt at times this was a little loud but that’s just a personal preference. There are plenty of sun beds with good availability if you head to the pool before about 11am. The pool staff are friendly and attentive; there is someone to tell you about the activities occurring at the hotel every day and staff giving massage samples to promote the spa. There is also a bar by the pool with good quality reasonably priced drinks. Activities that happened during our stay included a movie night, a DJ and violinist and a saxophonist. There was entertainment most nights. The guests at the hotel are generally in their 20s and the atmosphere is fun but not rowdy. The breakfasts were lovely with lots of choice. The rooms are basic but a good size, clean and comfortable with excellent air conditioning. The only slight negatives are that there are no facilities in the room eg water or tea and coffee facilities, and the double bed was actually two singles pushed together and there were two single duvets which was a bit strange! The surrounding area has lots of bars and resultants and the area by the sea is bustling and lively. There are also plenty of shops including supermarkets within walking distance. We were also able to be picked up for a number of activities that we booked from the hotel making it an ideal base to explore. Would definitely stay again.
