The hotel is really nice and the staff is super friendly. Overall it was a great get-away but just a few things that I think would have made it better: - they had different events every night that went until late so it would be really loud if I didn't want to participate and made it hard to sleep - they advertise that they have parking on the premises. This I would disagree with because I had to find parking along side the road and sometimes circle many times or park in areas that I wasn't entirely sure was legal to park in then I would have to move it when a spot opened up. - I wish that there was more variety in their breakfast selection. After day 2, it just got kind of old because it almost the same thing every morning. That being said, we had a pretty enjoyable stay here and if we came back to this same area, we would stay here again.

Fantastic hotel, going above and beyond
Fantastic hotel, very close to a choice of great beaches (I recommend Palm Beach in particular which is a 15 min walk away, but there are closer ones also). The food for breakfast and dinner was spectacular and choice full, both veggie and meat options and different types of cuisines (Greek/cretan, Asian etc). The hotel offers free of charge events such as wine tasting, Greek food cooking classes, Aqua aerobics and DJ night. Excellent service too, everyone very polite and helpful. There is a cocktail bar next to the pool where you can order drinks from via the app the hotel grants you access to during your stay. Fab experience 10/10!!

👍👍
I booked a last minute stay at Albatros to extend my stay in Crete. It was the best decision! This property has everything you need. Amazing and helpful staff, plentiful buffets, 2 swimming pools, pool bar and ice cream shop (gourmet gelato for only 2€), evening activities and AMAZING spa with great deals! I built my own 90 minute spa package for 60€ (hydrotherapy, back massage & facial). The resort is very close to the beach and boardwalk as well. I loved every minute of my time at Albatros. No problems at all.

Excellent stay, but do NOT book a standard room!
Whatever you do, do NOT book a standard room or you will be very disappointed. The hotel is split into a few buildings and their standard rooms are in the old part of the hotel. We were there for the 1st night and got very upset with the overall standard of the room. It was clean, but think 1980s style of dark furniture, yellow AC unit which barely worked, crappy fridge, etc. Based on the pictures, this is not what I was expecting when I booked the room. Luckily, the lovely staff at reception were able to give us an upgrade for the 2nd night so we got moved to the nice part of the hotel: it felt like a different world! I finally understood why the hotel was rated 4-5* because the standard rooms barely scraped a 2*. Breakfast and dinner were included which was great seeing the variety of food on offer. What I definitely cannot fault is the staff working there. Every single person we came in contact with was very professional, friendly and willing to help. We will come back here but we will book a superior room from the get-go.

Great holiday here
The hotel staff could not have been any more friendly and helpful. Location is great we could hear the waves from our lovely big balcony, the buffet breakfast was full of choice. There was a better beach heading right 8 minutes away, ours was rather rocky near the waters edge. Entertainment great. Only niggle was the bed mattresses were too hard for us but then again we didn’t report it so perhaps something would have been done. Rooms were very clean

Hotel with tired main building but with nice staff
Hotel has 3 building - 1 old and 2 new. Old one is very very tired. I stayed there and wasn't happy even my standart room was upgraded to juniour suite. But staff in the gotel was nice as well as the food in main restaurant. The whole area of Hersonnisos is touristic hell - thoudans hotels and touristic shops, no beach, no pleasant landscape. Never come back there!

Like staying in a 24 hour nightclub
This hotel is not all bad - their lunchtime food is delicious, and inexpensive. The swimming pool is ice cold but very refreshing on a hot day. Rooms are very, very clean; all the communal areas too, and especially the pool. The location is fantastic - near some lovely restaurants. There are lots of sunbeds, but only around 1/3 are comfortable ones with padding - you need to get down to the pool by 8:15am to bag your bed. The reason for the rating is the volume of music around the pool area. If you enjoy your sun holidays with Euro-pop and rock sumping out of the speakers at eardrum-breaking levels, this is the hotel for you! I thought something had gone wrong on the first day when the speakers were cranked up at around 11am to deliver 'Mr Bombastic' and 'I Like to Move it Move It', but after a while another couple asked the music to be turned down, and it was. For about an hour. Then it was cranked up again. And so began our five day stay. Every couple of hours, the music, gradually growing louder, would reach the point where I'd read the same sentence in my book seven times and had a thumping headache from the thumping bass. I'd ask them to turn it down, and they would; for a time. Then it would creep back up. But by the second day, our requests were largely ignored. They'd claim they had turned the music down, but it really did not seem like it. Indeed, we were told: ‘everyone loves the music!’ I admit, music is a largely personal affair, but I would guess that rare is

Good hotel, not too expensive
We stayed in room 227, it seemed that that room was in the original built of the hotel as the fixture and fittings were a bit dated. The other buildings within the complex seemed newer. The tv was on a small size and instead of being in the wall, it was placed on a small table. You were watching the tv with your head turned at 45 degrees to the left. Free WiFi most of the time was very, very slow. I don't agree with paying 18 euros (for a week) to have access to the faster internet. The faster internet during our stay was faster than the free of charge one, sometimes not by much. We used an app to measure the speed. We noticed that there were a lot of pensioners in the hotel. The beach near the hotel wasn't brilliant but you can walk a bit from the hotel to get to nicer beach or take a bus to the other beach. Hotel is close to the center of hersonissos. Staff was very pleasant, coffee was always topped up at beakfast without fuss. You can stay there if you fancy it.
