Well I really can not believe it, before I went here, after reading the reports on this hotel I really didn

The Vassos hotel is quite small but has a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere because of this. Me and my friend were there in June for a week and it was very quiet around the hotel which was nice because all the entertainment you need is only a 10 minute walk down the road to the main resort Hersonissos. (Watch any dangerous drivers on the way!) There you'll find loads of resturants, bars and clubs at night and the beaches to relax on in the day. The hotel swimming pool wasn't massive but it was enough to cool down in, although if you're not a good swimmer it probably wouldn't be too good because the ladder going into the shallow(er) end has only 2 steps which means you have to do a little jump, so this definitely wouldn't be any good for young children!

Our room was quite small but all clean, with a view of the pool so it was ok, although the cars passing on the road outside are a bit noisy! The bathroom was tiny and gets pretty flooded after showering due to the Greek tradition of no shower curtain!

There is a little bar downstairs which is quite nice, with a TV and pool table and the barmen were always chatty and friendly. One there is called Costas, he speaks really good english and is a good laugh! U can sit and have cocktails or whatever, and when you want something livlier just pop down the road.
The breakfast is not really breakfast to be honest, with just bread being available to toast and tea, coffee and juice, so we usually got something to eat at a bakery down the road!

It wasn't a bad hotel for the money we paid and if you like an informal, friendly atmosphere you will like it! I think there are bigger rooms available aswell and air conditioning at a price.

I'd also recommend you do the Cretan night trip which is lots of fun, greek dancing, greek food and as much wine as you can drink! It was good! (from what I remember!) Also visit the waterpark in Hersonissos, it's nice, the water slides are quite tame so if you prefer the high impact ones go elsewhere!
