Vasia Boulevard is centrally located in Hersonissos and offers rooms with views to the picturesque port, a bar, and a café. A bus stop is 100 metres away.

The hotel has beautifully decorated internal spaces, including a lounge and dining room where buffet breakfast is served each morning.

We came to Crete for our Honeymoon, firstly I would like to thank George and his team as he went out of his way to make our stay beyond special from upgrading our room to greeting us every single morning. One of the main reasons we will go back to this beautiful hotel is because of George's Hospitality and kindness. The breakfast was amazing and delicious. The location was excellent because as you walked out of the hotel you were a few steps away from the beach and main strips of restaurants and bars. Thank you for making our stay so special we cant wait to stay again at your hotel soon.

As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.

    My husband and I travelled to Crete for the first time and stayed at Drossia Palms and let me say this property FAR exceeded our expectations. I wish I could give it 15 stars. We stayed in the suite with a hot tub on our deck and our room was absolutely beautiful! This business is family owned and they were all so welcoming and accommodating! I cannot recommend this property enough

    The family run hotel leans over backwards to make the break five star. All nationalities rub shoulders in a fantastic friendly way. We met people who return year after year, time after time. Facilities are excellent, and the site is convenient for maximum sunshine, two excellent pools, and very close to an excellent bakery, supermarket, and lots of other great facilities

    Amazing place!!! Before booking we really didn't expect the level of this little diamond boutique hotel. Much better than any of our expectations. Nikos is 24/7 available, service is great, rooms are excellent, the the value for money is superb. 100% recommended and for sure we will visit again.
