Four of us (all of us aged 21 – 23) recently stayed at the hotel Mediterraneo in Hersonissos, on an all inclusive board basis for a week.

We stayed here from 29th May 2009 for 7 nights.

First impressions were good – we were delayed by 4 hours, so got to the hotel around 1am, and were greeted by Manuel – the night shift receptionist, who gave us some dinner, and explained about the hotel, dinner times, etc…

All inclusive isn’t as you would expect:
Air conditioning is charged at extra €6 per day
Fridge is also an additional €6 per day.

The drinks are the real let down. The only ones available on all inclusive were:

• White / red wine
• Rosé
• Brandy
• Mythos (beer)

That’s really the only bad point about this hotel, but for 4 guys, out for a good time, it was pretty restrictive.

The food on the other hand, more than made up for it.
Breakfast was from 7am – 9:30am, lunch i think was from 1pm – 2:30pm and dinner from 7pm – 9pm.
A lot of other reviews moaned about the food, which I’m sure the hotel must of taken note of, as I couldn’t fault it.

There are two pools: One, on the left of the hotel, and one on the right.
We spent every day by the one on the right, as it was much less crowded, less screaming kids, and more sun beds available.
The pools are however, saltwater, which was a bit annoying.

Our rooms were a decent size, double / single beds (one of each in my room – resulted in time share for the double bed)

Malia

The main resort for young brits is Malia.
This hotel is located a fair way out of the town, which didn’t prove a problem to us, as we simply got a taxi there and back each night. This cost €15 each way, which wasn’t too bad, as somehow we always managed to stay together.
