Detailed Reviews
Been meaning to write this for a while but this place is ideal for those on a budget, just don't expect to have the same sort of experience as a larger or more extravagent place. The chances are, you are looking at this place because its cheap, and you'll get what you pay for. "All Inclusive" is a pretty broad term after all and there isn't very much to have.
Rooms, hotel interior and pool are all spotlessly clean and comfy, although a bit outdated and basic. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout, although often nowhere to be seen, so I'd have to go behind the bar to pour my own beer half the time. The only drink options were raki, a light Cretan lager, local wine, Freeway cola/lemonade, orange squash, tea or coffee. Literally nothing else, but the wine was good, so no issue for me. The food was pretty plain and repetitive, but edible enough. Nothing particularly Greek (unless you count the salad) and lunch was often last nights leftover dinner recycled into something else, and I grew sick of watermelon as the only dessert after about 5 days, but if you just want to fill your belly and spend your money in the bars rather than the restaurants, its great.
Location-wise, it can get a bit loud with the traffic unless you are in the rear overlooking the olive groves. Its right on the main road and the noise starts early if your windows are open. However its just five minutes walk to the nearest beach and the main strips, with an excellent cheap supermarket and the town's best gyros takeaway virtually next door about 150m away.

Hotel is suitable as a cheap place to stay, but nothing more. Food tastes the same, drinks are from the discounter and are available for self-service at the counter. All-inclusive is definitely the wrong word for it here. Room staff knock once in the morning and then still stand in the room and unlock without question simply with a master key. Air conditioning is not included and costs € 7,- per day.

Food was very poor but nevertheless edible.
The drink selection is very meager and the beer doesn't taste so good either.
The owner was not as unfriendly as described in other reviews, at least more accommodating with us.
The pool is good and they are also fine. The rooms are adequate except the bathroom (at least ours). There was no shower curtain so the whole bathroom was wet after every shower. The rooms are very warm and the air conditioning costs 7€ extra per night, which is very cheeky. The balcony is also fine.
TV corner was available with us.
The cleaning lady does not clean regularly every day.
What also bothered us a lot were the cicadas that chirped very loud and annoying all day from 6am to 9pm.
The location is quite nice and in the vicinity actually everything can be found. The beach is about 7 minutes, but it is not a pure sandy beach.
Conclusion: If you only want to stay here briefly it is fine and okay for the price you pay, but rather not recommended. We're definitely not going back here.

This place is a rip-off, especially if you book all inclusive. The lunch and dinner is yesterday leftovers brought from another hotel, and the breakfast highlight is cold hard boiled eggs with green yolks. You get an hour strict for each meal, but it doesn't matter anyway, because everything is cold within 10 minutes. The bathrooms are off putting and cramped, public toilets in town are of a higher standard than these. There is no soap anywhere, not even in the toilets by the pool/bar area, which were very smelly and the toilet seat was missing. No napkins with meals, no milk with cereal, just plain yoghurt, no table spoons, just knife and fork, no paper towels or hand dryer, furniture with broken or missing handles, and sinks in some rooms which had the tab dismantled. Cannot pay by card in the hotel, only cash, and the air-con will set you back up to €7 a day, upfront, regardless if it is actually working or not. The pool is right by a busy street, with almost nothing screening it from the traffic noise and fumes. You may even be refused alcohol at the bar, if the guy decides that you had enough of the 'free stuff'. Robbery in a daylight!

First of all do not be fooled by the pictures you see on Booking or online, this hotel is a hostel, I cannot give more than 1 star. Food is the lowest , rooms are not cleaned, staff is rude, pool is dirty. Every tourist that checked in had some issues, either with the food, bathroom or overbooking. They did not treat us like customers more like they were doing us a favor. Bathroom is not working properly. Do not eat the boiled eggs, they were smelling rotten.

Ok was aware of the type of hotel this was, arrived check in was easy but shocked no computer at hotel our room was ground floor room was clean and adquate but air conditioning is 5 euro a day. Beware they change the bedding once during a week likewise with the towels The lady at the hotel she amazing she receptionist, bar staff, waitress and kitchen staff all in one and works long hours every day but always helpful and friendly. The manager is a different story was not interested in helping us to find our return transfer time so lucky I knew the number to call from our paperwork, he unapproachable, grumpy and unfriendly. The food in the hotel is basic and there are no snacks during the day dispite being all inclusive the drinks r basic beer, wine and raki not even gin or vodka the pool area is basic not really child friendly the position of the hotel is prefect. Takes 10 mins to walk down to the centre. Also be aware there is a very busy road outside which never stops and crazy with bikes mopeds cars and buses

We stayed at Hersonissos Sun for two weeks and we very much enjoyed our stay! Great location and convenient parking. The room was basic but clean with modern furnishing. There were at least 3-4 options for lunch and dinner—the food quality is good and definitely worth for what we paid for.

If you have booked the sun, go directly to the blue, because it is firm and we will send you directly to the blue!
Very warm welcome from the staff, quiet hotel close to everything, restaurants, bars, shops are only a few meters away.
Very simple food, salad bowls of tomatoes, cucumber salad, and two hot dishes, there was enough to eat.
We had some vacationers with us who were a little “noisy” but the hotel is not responsible for that.
Swimming pool and pleasant terrace, it doesn't look like a club where everything is in exorbitant quantity and that's what I liked!
Rooms cleaned every day, clean hotel,
I will come back if I have the chance.

Do not stay here! Staff are rude except for one lady who is really nice. The rooms are dated. Our room had a broken toilet seat, no tap in the sink in the kitchen area and a mouldy shower curtain! Food is not good either. The guy who cooks stands next to the bar area next to the food smoking! Says it's an all inclusive bar but they only have rosé or white wine, fizzy drinks, tea or lager ( which you pour your own! ) Just not a very nice place at all to stay!

A wonderful week of vacation. Excellent location of the hotel - 5-7 minutes from the beach, 50 meters to supermarkets. The rooms correspond to their two stars. Rooms are cleaned every day. Very nice staff. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners are very tasty and filling. The reality exceeded our expectations!
