The hype
Guests love the 'village' feel and the sheer number of pools, but often complain that the rooms feel stuck in the late 90s.
Mitsis Royal Mare Thalasso Resort
$180-350 / noapte
Rezervă dacă You want a sprawling, village-style resort with endless pools and a world-class thalasso spa, and don't mind being a taxi ride away from the party.
De ce o iubesc oamenii
- 25+ pools scattered throughout the grounds create a private, uncrowded vibe
- Exceptional a la carte dining, especially the Pan-Asian 'Royal Palm' and South American 'Pacifico'
- The Thalasso Centre is a legitimate wellness destination, not just a hotel massage room
Privire rapidă: A massive, water-centric playground that feels luxurious until you look closely at the dated bathrooms or hear the planes roaring overhead.
Evaluat de @nawfanurie: I felt like royalty wandering these gardens. The sunset from the beach was the perfect end to my days here. If you need a serene escape where every corner is picture-perfect, this is it.

Reality check
The 'sharing pool' rooms are the only ones that truly feel 5-star; standard garden bungalows can feel dark and dated.
- You love swimming but hate fighting for a pool chair—there are pools everywhere
- You are a wellness traveler specifically coming for thalassotherapy treatments
- You want an all-inclusive where the food is actually edible and varied
Curățenie și Întreținere
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally thorough, though some guests report 'missed spots' like under beds.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean but dated. Grout lines show age, and some bathtubs have peeling enamel.
- Maintenance: Grounds are manicured to perfection. Rooms show wear and tear (scuffed furniture, older AC units).
- Linens & towels: Clean and crisp, but pool towels can be a bit thin and scratchy.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh flowers. Some older rooms have a faint musty smell due to humidity.

Întrebări frecvente și sfaturi ascunse
Tot ceea ce vrei de fapt să știi înainte de a rezerva.
Is the beach sandy?
No. It is a mix of pebbles and rock. The water is clear, but entering without shoes is painful and slippery.

No. Access to the Thalasso pools and treatments is an extra cost (approx. €28+ for entry/medical consult) unless you book a specific wellness package.
Can I walk to Hersonissos town?
Technically yes (2.5km), but it's a long, hot walk along a road. A taxi is recommended and costs about €8-10.
Is there a heated pool?
Yes, the indoor pool in the spa is heated, but it may require a fee or treatment booking to access depending on your package.
Are the drinks branded spirits?
Mostly local brands for the standard all-inclusive. Premium international brands often require an upgrade or extra payment.
Is there free WiFi?
Yes, high-speed WiFi is free throughout the resort and generally works well even in the rooms.
Sfaturi de Insider
- ✨
The 'Pacifico' South American restaurant serves the best brunch in the resort—book it instead of the main buffet.
- ✨
There is a hidden 'creperie' near the main pool that serves excellent gelato and sweet crepes all day for free.
- ✨
Walk 15 minutes west along the coast to find 'Saradari' fish taverna for a break from hotel food.
5 lucruri pe care trebuie să le știi înainte să pleci
💡The blue paint in the pools can rub off on your skin and swimwear if you lean against the walls too long.
💡The 'garden view' often means 'looking at the back of another bungalow'.
💡You have to pay for the tennis courts unless you have your own equipment.
💡The main buffet can get chaotic at peak times; the 'adults-only' sections are not always strictly enforced.
💡The 'mini-bar' is refilled daily for free, which is a rare perk.
