Cook's Club Hersonissos

As someone who lives in the area, I can say that Cook’s Club Hersonissos adds a fresh and modern touch to the local scene. The atmosphere is relaxed yet stylish, and the staff are genuinely friendly and attentive without trying too hard. The food is consistently good, with quality ingredients and a creative approach that still stays true to Mediterranean flavors. The bar is also a highlight — well-made cocktails and a great vibe to enjoy them. What I like most is that, although it’s a hotel, it still feels connected to the community. The music, the people, the overall energy — everything fits naturally with the rhythm of Hersonissos. It’s a place where locals feel just as comfortable as visitors. Overall, Cook’s Club Hersonissos has become one of those spots I’m always happy to recommend — modern, lively, and genuinely welcoming.

I stayed here on my own for a week and had an incredible time. The hotel is really stunning, modern, and you can tell it's ran efficiently by management. Housekeeping also cleaned the rooms daily and the hotel itself was nearly always spotless. The reception staff were really helpful and explained everything clearly during my stay. The spa staff were kind and great at explaining their treatment list and the treatments I had were very good. Magda behind the bar was the stand out as she would always serve with a smile, friendliness and nothing was too much for her. Location was excellent - Close to local shops, beaches and the strip. The food was outstanding, perfectly prepared/cooked but not enough local cuisine on the menus. The only other minor negatives were: 1) On arrival I was upgraded to a better room for one night, then downgraded for the following 6 days after. I appreciate having the upgrade, however it's not the best look to then take that room away from a guest after a night. 2) The sauna/steam room were out of order. (I know this happens, but it didn't seem like there was any effort to rectify the issue).

The most amazing place ever, so many activities and things to see and do, the most amazing and friendly staff and any questions are always answered and explained, service with a smile always 😊 rooms and room service was always good and clean, pool was cold but always good when it warm. Defiantly coming back next year I have it booked already 😊 HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Location was excellent, room good with nice shower. Took a while to work out why the Aircon wasn't working as it switches off every time you open the door to the balcony. Bar staff were good and the bean bags around the pool are very comfy so not a problem if you don't get up early enough for a sun bed. Everyone in our party enjoyed the stay the only complaint we had was around smoking. It is very difficult to get away from it as ash trays are places everywhere around the pool and bar, people were even vaping in the breakfast room. Otherwise a good holiday was had by all and the location was perfect it suited everyone in our party from age 19 to 52.

I travel a lot and have been to many parts of Greece, including Crete, but honestly, this has to be one of the rudest and most pretentious places I’ve ever experienced. It’s called a 'club hotel,' yet the only ones allowed to have fun—or make any noise—are the hotel itself. Sunbeds are impossible to get, so you’re left trying to catch some sun on a beanie bag. Music is on blast and the hotel looks nothing like its photos. Definitely won’t be coming back.
