Cooks Club Hersonissos Crete

When we was dropped off on a Main Street and informed to walk a few hundred meters , we could not see the hotel . It was on the Main Street, I nearly cried , it felt like Blackpool with the sun . However, once you walk through what’s like a shipping container entrance the hotel is there . Fast checkin, not showed to room or carried bags . Corridors very narrow and plain , but very clean. Room layout sink in bedroom with shower seperate and toilet on opposite side of room . Never not had a bathroom before , but we got used to it . our room was over looking the back , very narrow balcony just enough room to sit forward but can’t stretch legs. Fridge and air con in the room , free bottle of water on arrival . Room cleaned daily with fresh towels . Breakfast we loved , plenty variety although I had the same each day I was happy with the fruits , nuts section . My husband tried the omelettes and had no issues . Staff friendly and clean pots away off tables quick . Coffee nice . Sunbeds deep and comfy , however no umbrella s near the pool but beds on the garden area , with little tables . We had lunch most days and sampled many dishes competitive pricing to the local places , and good quality food and presentation , we sat on our sun loungers to eat , drinks brought to you . The staff work hard , and pleasant . The music starts off a bit softer in the morning probably from about 11 am . We loved the music in the afternoon and DJ on his mixing decks ., some entertainment mainly focused around music or the big screen , we was happy with that . We found the area a bit Blackpool on Main Street and the beach is a short walk down any side street about two mins , more bars and restaurants across from the sea . The beach we thought was awful and didn’t step foot on it , was slim 2 sunbeds deep , very choppy sea . Not for us . The villages a 15 min walk behind the hotel we found much nicer and I even did some dancing and plate throwing . I wouldn’t go back to this area of Crete , we did a couple of trips and nice to see other areas of Crete . we spoke to other tourists who had been going for 10 plus years .plus I would go and make your own decision . As for cooks club , if you like clean , modern good food and music then go , it wasn’t roudy , nice friendly guests . I’m just looking at the one in Rhodes for May we will be back 😍

have just returned home after a lovely 10 day stay (aside from miserable weather last 3 days😭) I agree with the below review regarding the area, definitely not the prettiest , but handy and only 5 mins in taxi to the old village and koutalafari which were lovely. The hotel itself is great, the staff work so very hard and constantly maintain the cleanliness and aesthetic look of keeping everywhere top standard- i’ve never noticed that at anywhere i’ve stayed before ! so friendly and accommodating too Loved the music and vibe, was a little nervous after reading reviews earlier on in year , we are in our mid forties so not too over the hill 😬😂 but was fab plenty of choice at breakfast we ate a few times at bar and food was so nice , and reasonable too.
rooms were great, again cleaners do a great job , comfy beds , would be handy to have a full length mirror and some hooks on back of doors etc would definitely return to a cooks club chain in future , thankyou for a lovely stay ☺️
