Glaros Royal Beach Hotel

Lovely hotel. Rooms excellent, large room with good hairdryer, kettle and cups but no teabags, milk etc. Small balcony. Our room overlooked garden so views poor, didn’t spend any time on balcony. Food nice .. everything you could want for breakfast, limited choice at evening meal. Staff excellent especially Ernest and lady on reception. Went out of their way to help. Ernest always found us a table at breakfast and is very friendly. The hotel has a restaurant overlooking beach which is very popular, you get 25% discount there instead of evening meal at hotel. Food there very good. Be prepared to wait a very long time if you want a drink in hotel, the staff are rushing up and down steps looking after guests in restaurant on beach and hotel guests are forgotten. Would be better to have separate staff . Pool only a plunge pool with 8 beds on rooftop so lucky if you get a bed! Rooftop cocktail bar nice but a shame more people don’t use it .. each time we went we were the only ones there so no atmosphere! Beach’s nearby always busy. You can use sister hotel pool but again was busy however we found a pool with beds further along near done studio apartments which we used and just bought drinks from the bar there. Short walk to harbour where we got a small train and went up to old town. Plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance of hotel. WiFi only in lobby, when we asked at reception told we had to pay €3 per day if wanted WiFi! And €3 per day for safe in room. Hotel would be 5* with some adjustments but over all we had a lovely time .

Stunning room.. shame about view and small balcony. Rain and small shower, hairdryer, daily housekeeping and towel, amazing lighting system. Extremely friendly helpful staff on reception and housekeeping. Roof top pool with 8 sun beds. Cosy cocktail bar on am evening but no draught ales. Don't expect to drink at the hotel...you'll wait forever.. waiters are extremely busy serving food to the general public. Paying guests food was ok but very little for vegetarians but I didn't starve..the country/lemon potatoes were the best thing I ate.. delicious. Plus good salad choice. Very busy and tightly packed beaches. Quieter beach nearby is at the open air museum where you can get 2 beds and a parasol for 7 euros plus a meal and a drinkbrought to you by a very pleasant man. Also worth a visit is the little sea life centre.. v friendly staff and creatures 😁 Had I done my homework and not had to rush the finding of a holiday then I wouldn't ever have come to hersonissos as it's too busy for me but as hotels go I can't fault it.. shame about some of the staff.

Clean room, interesting design, spacious bathroom. We had full sea view room so even staying in room satisfies you with amazing sea view. Pool is small (on the roof of the hotel), but you get great view from there. Food rate: average good. Breakfast about the same everyday, lunch a bit different every evening.
