The 154-room, mid-range Hersonissos Palace Hotel is conveniently positioned on a quiet street, a two-minutes walk from the pebbly beach and nightlife. Its advertised five-star rating sets expectations too high, but guests with basic needs find this hotel an enjoyable stay. Rooms have some outdated decor, though they're generally clean and all come with flat-screen TVs and furnished outdoor spaces. Bathrooms are worn and in need of a refresh. The restaurant and its food are adequate, and all-inclusive rates include drinks at the beach bar. Multiple pools and a tennis court are welcome features, but the gym is tiny and ill-equipped and the indoor pool lacks chairs. Those seeking fresher decor and more on-site activities might prefer the nearby and similarly priced Silva Beach.

This all-inclusive property stands out from others nearby because it doesn't require wristbands and it is within easy reach of Hersonissos' attractions. Formerly an adults-only property, this mid-range now caters to children with family-friendly entertainment and numerous pools. Adults will likely enjoy the wellness area and the formal vibe created through evening dress codes. However, bland, small rooms leave plenty to be desired with hard mattresses and tiny showers.

Located a ten-minute drive from old town Hersonissos, the 265-room Annabelle Beach Resort is a family-friendly property on the Aegean Sea's Anissaras Beach. The hotel has an excellent beach along with water sports, several pools, and tennis courts, though modern-but-basic rooms don't live up to the hotel's luxury claims.

A relaxed apartment-hotel with a hippy vibe, built around a pool and a plant-filled courtyard, the Papadakis Villas is located a 10-minute walk from Hersonissos’ restaurants and nightlife, and is especially popular with British holiday-goers. Its quiet location and low-key feel attract older couples and families with older children who plan to spend most of their time at the beach or sightseeing nearby. Rooms are bare bones, but breezy and pleasant. Some, though, are particularly small and dated, and there are few amenities beyond the pool and cafe.

Older and less luxurious than some nearby properties, Semiramis Village is a clean, no-frills hotel with fairly basic facilities. Set on a hill above Hersonissos bay, all the hotel’s 151 rooms have balconies, most with panoramic views, but the price for this pleasant setting is a fairly steep hike back up to the resort for guests who choose to visit the beaches below. There's a lovely saltwater pool and a restaurant which receives mixed reviews.

Chic, white interiors are a romantic delight at the upscale Insula Alba -- an adult-only beachfront option located a 10-minute drive from Hersonissos. The stylish pool area with a large pool, poolside bar, buffet restaurant, and spa are the main attractions, while the lobby bar and beachfront alfresco lunch spot have seasonal openings. The 190 rooms are light and modern, and feature furnished outdoor spaces. Over half of the units have private individual or shared pools, but few have direct sea views. The beach is across the street, and lacks sunbeds, but a more comfortable beach is free at the sister hotel. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, along with free private parking. For a polished five-pearl stay with sun loungers on the beach, try Amirandes, Grechotel Exclusive Resort -- but rates are higher.

The hotel provides a free shuttle into town, or guests can walk there in around 20 minutes. Those looking for a hotel with a slightly more central location may prefer the family-friendly Star Beach Village, though prices are higher.
