I came to this hotel for the 4th time, since the hotel was very good and everyone came there and waited to communicate with the bartender Gena, this year the hotel administration changed and the general manager drove tourists out of the territory near the pool in the evening, but let the locals in there, some residents in the last day, personal belongings from the room disappeared, I, as a permanent settler of this hotel, did not hide anything, and on the last day my daughter’s new belt and my 5th iPhone were stolen from me, when I demanded an explanation, one “representative” of the hotel immediately appeared and said, if I will tell someone about this again, they will call the police for slander, and in the evening they called my room and said: if you want to safely fly away from this island with your daughter tomorrow, then sign the papers that you have no claims against us, I did not sign anything and I advise you not to go to this hotel even for a surcharge

The hotel is full g. . no. There is no question of any 3 stars. Wasted money on food at the hotel. It is not possible to eat there. I have never seen such a terrible hotel. If not for the rented car, he hung himself on his own belt.

I am writing in hot pursuit. We returned from Crete 3 days ago. Feeling as if something was left there and the soul is torn back. The hotel was shocking at first, everything seemed small and uncomfortable. The picture did not match the one seen at the agency. But no wonder they say that a person gets used to everything.

I am writing in hot pursuit. We returned from Crete 3 days ago. Feeling as if something was left there and the soul is torn back. The hotel was shocking at first, everything seemed small and uncomfortable. The picture did not match the one seen at the agency. But no wonder they say that a person gets used to everything. Indeed, after a couple of days we did not notice these inconveniences (small shower, uncomfortable bed, tiled floor). Loved the staff at the hotel bar. Despite the "all inclusive", my husband and I almost every day rested in this bar. They have already talked a lot about the bartender Gena, he deserves this attention, believe me)) He was an indispensable translator for many tourists, which, of course, is a minus for the hotel's policy. Obviously there is not enough Russian-speaking administrator. The atmosphere of Crete is truly magical. It's hard to put into words. You become infected with the freedom and philosophical attitude of the Greeks to life. I highly recommend visiting the uninhabited island of Chrissi. There is no tour as such, but it is not required there. This is heaven on earth. The Bounty advertisement conveys those landscapes. Hersonissos, as already noted, party. This is one of the most "non-sleeping" areas of Crete. Therefore, it is really not worth going there with a child. For young people it's perfect. I'm already making plans to return.

Rested with children in July-August. nature and weather are great. the sea is clean sandy, since the open sea is almost always either large or small waves.

For the first time in Greece rested on the mainland. this is the second trip to GREECE ONLY to Crete. The sea is emerald, it feels like the ocean. not the Mediterranean. Rested with children in July-August. nature and weather are great. the sea is clean sandy, since the open sea is almost always either large or small waves. The service in the hotels is very good, ESPECIALLY thanks for the warm attitude of Tiuri (she meets guests, in general, in the household part in hotels, she is from Georgia, she speaks excellent Russian, she told all the questions of interest. And a huge THANK YOU to Stella, she also understands Russian (she is from Bulgaria) a very nice girl, we immediately established contacts with them. The fact is that the owners of the hotel do not understand Russian. Well, if you know English, then it’s not a problem. Cleaning is always on time and good, food is continental breakfast and dinner ( cereals, fruit, boiled egg, jam, bread, sausage, milk, juice alternates every day, Dinner is always varied and tasty (cape, salads, fruits, dessert) drinks for an additional fee. The hotel is located very well, and to the shop, and to the road, and to the sea, there is where to go. In the evening, the street comes alive, the evening lights are all walking, walking around the shops and shops. If you want to go to McDonald's or to a Big supermarket (like Okya, Ashana), it's in Malia (you have to go up the street for about 30 minutes, either by ATV, or by taxi, bus. It's worth a ride on a train, you will see it goes there from early morning until late evening rides for almost 2 hours (it’s better to go in the evening, it’s hot during the day, although it doesn’t matter to anyone, so he will take you through all the streets, you will see shops. It cost 10 euros. Prices in Greece are not cheap, just like in Russia, who wants to save a little, take take tea, sweets, etc. to chew something (of your native Russian) A quad bike rental costs 10 euros for a day. 8 if not more. Well, of course, it’s better to study everything on the Internet in advance before leaving, well, even if it doesn’t work out (we didn’t succeed), everything is intuitive. The Greeks are very friendly. And we also meet our compatriots who moved there. Helped ut tell. In general, I wish everyone to get great pleasure and joy from the sea and the sun.

I was in the hotel this year. It is impossible to sleep because of the disco, which is located on the first floor of the hotel. rooms are bad. The walls are stained, the closet doors are broken, the furniture is shabby. Traveling with children is strictly prohibited. You can't put them to sleep at night with endless music.

The hotel staff is rude. They refuse to move to another room in a rude manner. The food seems to be normal. But my advice to you - if you want to have a normal rest - choose something more decent. Waste your nerves for your own money. As my friend said, leaving this hotel home, "We got exhausted. " Do you need it?

We were in Crete for the second time. I chose the hotel. Hotel Malia Beach 4+ refused me twice (I chose different accommodation options) documents for visas could be submitted until 15 pm and even though I chose Pela Maria 3 * (the hotel was the first line in Pegasus in the 3 * category) I only specified that the hotel was downtown.

We were in Crete for the second time. I chose the hotel. Hotel Malia Beach 4+ refused me twice (I chose different accommodation options) documents for visas could be submitted until 15 pm and even though I chose Pela Maria 3 * (the hotel was the first line in Pegasus in the 3 * category) I only specified that the hotel was downtown. I don't really expect a positive response. After 3 hours the hotel was confirmed. I didn't even know what to do to be happy or. . . We've arrived. I was glad that 17 people came from our plane to the hotel. I perked up. I liked the food at the hotel. I was with a 1.5-year-old baby, he ate everything except pureed soups, there were porridges in the mornings. There were barbecues every evening, the eldest son liked it. I would like more fruit, the hotel served daily watermelons, melons, oranges, one thing for breakfast, something for lunch. In general, when you wanted melons, they gave you watermelon, etc. When you exit the hotel, there is a 2-storey supermarket on the right after a 15-minute walk. You can buy everything inexpensively there (olive oil 5l-22-23 euros, rubber flip flops 1.5 euros, beach umbrellas 4.5 euros, soap, etc. , including fruits and water). Also next to the hotel is a car rental (there are cars with a variatr box and an automatic). There is parking right behind the hotel, which is very convenient since the hotel is in the center. Excursions were taken on the spot from the Greeks. In the city of 3 local travel agencies, we asked the cheapest price for excursions at the touring club. What does with the purchase of 2 excursions 3 as a gift. There are Russian-speaking guides on excursions, double-decker buses with air conditioning, and prices are half the price of our Pegasus. They also offer Santorini for 2 days (including a hotel for the night and breakfast) for 160 euros, a Cretan evening 34 euros, a spinalonga 34 euros (I recommend taking a super beautiful place after an excursion to the white sand beach). I do not recommend an excursion to Chrissi Island. It is a long way to go, but there is nothing that is advertised there and there is no white sand and there are no cedars either. I also advise shopping lovers to have fun and buy an excursion to the Gypsy market of Heraklion + a sightseeing tour of the city for 19 euros. You will not regret. Tour only on Saturdays. The market sells things ranging from 50 cents to 12 euros. There are large tables on which things lie in bulk. There are people digging. I looked at all this with disgust until I saw a beautiful swimsuit made by Greece for 1 euro. And suddenly I saw a blouse that I bought for 22 euros, there it was for 5 euros. In general, the summer collection is taken out of stores there at bargain prices. And then Ostap suffered. . . Overweight by the way at the airport 3 euros per 1kg. In general, those sundresses that I carried with me were not useful to me. So do not take a lot of things from home. Females in the city of Hersonissos, look carefully, mostly leatherette. I also advise you to buy locally made leather slippers. That year I bought for 15 euros and took 2 seasons at sea and in the yard and in the garden, I can’t take good ones. Hotel Pelamaria has a good location for 5+, the food is good, the staff is good-natured at the reception every day Agnia works, she speaks Russian, but she works either in the first shift until 15 o'clock, then in the second after 15 o'clock. All questions can be solved with her. In front of the hotel there is a bus stop by the way, which is also very convenient. A ticket to Heraklion costs 3 euros. The final stop in Heraklion is located near the promenade. Turn towards the sea and go left and a little higher you will find all the ancient sights. Have a nice rest. I recommend the hotel. I will go there myself next year.

You know what you are going for when you take 3 stars. You will not find luxury apartments there, BUT: the rooms are good, they clean every day, the cuisine is for every taste, the wonderful bartender Gena, who speaks Russian! The city is youthful, parties, bars, clubs. With children, it is better to go to a more peaceful place.

For those wishing to rent a car, I advise you to contact Alex from Motorplan, which is located not far from the hotel. I highly recommend the youth hotel! You will not regret and never forget)))

Hello everybody! Just returned from vacation. We had a rest with the wife in the beginning of June. Hersonissos is a very beautiful town with many shops and restaurants by the sea. The Greeks are really very friendly. The hotel is normal for the money. We had a room overlooking the street, it was a bit noisy, but very cool in the evening to sit on the balcony with a glass of beer and watch the night lights of Hersonissos, the hotel is right in the center of town.

We had a room overlooking the street, it was a bit noisy, but very cool in the evening to sit on the balcony with a glass of beer and watch the night lights of Hersonissos, the hotel is right in the center of town. In addition, you save money by buying beer in the store, because in bars 0.33 costs from 2 euros. They fed very well, every day there was meat, pork or veal, chicken, always fish. For dessert there was ice cream, various creams, jams, canned peaches, apples, in the evening watermelon, in general, fed very cool. The sea is about 50 meters from the hotel, but always hung out on the coolest beach Old Beach, there is a sandy beach and sunset, a lot of young people from all over Europe, music, foam discos and open air all night.
Bombs.
We rented the car at the Panavia office, which turned out to be the cheapest. For Fiat Seicento per day we paid 25 euros with full insurance. We took for three days. By the way, this is the only office we found where you can buy retail. We took enough for 1 day and a day later for another 2. And this office has its own water park, and we were given two more tickets for free. That is, we saved at least another 30 euros. The office is just to the right of the hotel. They speak Russian. We went to Knossos, where we paid only for the entrance, but fell on the tail of a Russian-speaking guide and the tour was free. Tickets for Spinalon have been ordered in Agios, by the way the ship sails there at 12.30, so don't be late. We also went to Lasita and the cave of Zeus, I highly recommend it. We also went to Vai, the only palm beach in Europe, where bounty commercials were filmed, also a very beautiful beach, it is worth seeing.
It's not scary to drive a car, the roads there are much better than ours, I haven't seen cops, everyone drives as he wants, but all cultural ones miss each other. The only thing is to put the car in the parking lot, not to spare 2-3 euros, because they can write a fine, and the fines there are large, for the fact that not fastened 500 euros. I don't know what to write anymore, by the way, the beaches there are free everywhere, only deckchairs for 2-3 euros and umbrellas for 2 euros are paid. That is, you can lie on a towel and no one will tell you anything. And in the afternoon no one takes money at all. So I recommend to everyone and wish you a pleasant stay! ! ! ! ! ! !

We went on a burning ticket. Before that, I asked a hotel in travel agencies that a modest room, not far from the sea, but good food, so as not to get sick and there was a choice. Everything that was offered inexpensively, according to reviews, was complete crap and I did not risk going there with a child. So I went to the Crimea, rented an apartment. And then we were lucky with this burning one. Reviews in the i-no also turned out to be normal and we went. Of the shortcomings - cramped (we had 3 beds in the room, with two it would have been better), a cramped shower (somewhere around 60 to 60, you beat with your elbows), the entire bathroom is cramped. We didn’t have a shelf under the mirror (the tooth of the brush was placed on the toilet bowl), the girlfriend didn’t have curtains in the shower, but there was a shelf. Our 515 is a great number. View of the pool and the sea. There are 321 of them - a view into a deaf well - the wall of another house. If someone has a view of the street, it's terrible. Traffic is active around the clock. 515 - this is called the 3rd, but really the 5th floor. In the same rooms, but below you will no longer see the sea. Our room is very cool. that the sun sets on the balcony (not in the room) only after dinner. The wind blows from the sea. We turned on the condo once, before the thunderstorm it was very steamy. The TV caught only ORT, it seems, we did not turn it on.
If the first floor (and the second) with a balcony immediately to the pool - all day screaming and cigarette smoke in the room. Just close and breathe. At 22, the exit to the pool is closed. Silence.
Attention: the wooden floor around the pool is splintery, though you can't tell. The boy was taken in a taxi to remove three splinters from his leg. And the parents pulled the girl out of the hand. FREQUENT cases of "entrance" into the glass between the pool and the dining room. the staff, apparently, for fun, because they didn’t do anything (at least stick strips with opaque adhesive tape) even after the girl was taken away on insurance with suspected concussion and a blue bump on her forehead. A day later, the girl with the tray fit in, all the food was glass on glass. The waiters silently wiped off.
At the reception is a wonderful girl Agnia. Very pleasant, speaks good Russian, helps in all matters (up to what brand of oil, soap to buy, which excursion is easier on our own, and which is better through an agency). As elsewhere, it is cheaper to buy from travel agencies on the street. All agencies, shops work until 23. In the evening after dinner, everything is bought and solved without any problems. Russian is spoken everywhere. In English too. And in car rentals, and in shops, and in travel agencies.
The food is good, but not suitable for kids. The potatoes are tasty there, but they are in greasy (delicious) gravy. If you wash it off with boiling water (you can take it in the machine next to it), then you can also use it for babies. But there is no boiled or steamed meat, there is no lean fish. From fish all the time pangasius, sometimes breaded fish sticks. Meat: fried chicken, pork, lamb, beef. A lot of vegetables. Sweet pies, jelly, puddings are baked. Ice cream for free (tasteless).
Bar from 10 am to 10 pm. In Kyiv, half a glass of wine is enough for me to lightly intoxicate. There I drank a glass or two and nothing. Just a nice white wine. And in the local (not cheap) cafes, I didn’t get drunk either. Only after two full glasses was there any hint in my head that I was drinking.
Iron and background, in my opinion, one for the whole hotel. I once asked for an iron: it was busy. Received when released.
The maids are friendly. Almost no Russian is spoken. Indeed, I saw that they were smoking along the corridor between the rooms. But our room did not smell of cigarettes even once after them.
The beaches are all free. But on the beach near the hotel there is no toilet, changing rooms, shower. Until lunch we walked side by side with our umbrellas and bedding. And after 17, without umbrellas, we went to Star Beach (10-15 minutes). There is a bourgeois island : ) There are many children's pools with slides. Everything (except the big slides) is free. Paid, as everywhere, umbrellas and sun loungers.
In Hersonissos all the time is calm, and in Malia (we went several times to Ikaros Hotel) there are waves all the time.
The mountains and the sea in Crete are very beautiful. The sea is always transparent (in Crimea only when the water is ice cold). There are a lot of hedgehogs on the stones - be careful.
I liked Hersonissos very much. Night life starts after 12. By one o'clock they are already dancing. At 23 - only a few people near the bar, no one is dancing.
It is interesting to walk along the embankment to the lighthouse, to sit near it.

We rested together with a girlfriend in June 2011. The hotel is a normal "troika" European, the food is very tasty, the interior is normal. In Crete, life mostly boils at night, clubs and bars are all class! We rented a car in "Carera" very friendly staff. Thanks to them! (The Greeks are very friendly! ) In general, if you are a normal person and go on vacation, then feel free to take an inexpensive hotel.

(immigrants from the CIS work there) I advise you to go to "Matrix" I wish you a pleasant recreation!
