отель для семейного отдыха family friendly hotel

Rested in June 2011 three of us (mother, father and child 7 years old). We chose this particular hotel, since the Chania region is open to "ours" only recently, since there is a NATO base nearby. You need to choose a transfer Kyiv-Chania, (if there is Kyiv-Heraklion, do not agree).
We arrived at the hotel at about 10 o'clock in the morning, and were settled after 12, but there was no discomfort about this, since the all-inclusive bracelets were put on immediately, the luggage was left in the luggage room and went to explore the surroundings. At the reception, no one except Yulia talks. Yuliya special THANKS. She came up, told us, explained, and for all 10 days she came up and asked how we were resting.
We were settled in the Olympus corus in room 2050 on the first floor with access to our own pool. This is great!!! ! We didn’t even check the locks, taps, etc. , but immediately began to unpack so that they wouldn’t inadvertently be taken away. Along the way, we had the best number from our group.

The room is not big, but cozy. A large double bed and a sofa for a child. the room has a free safe, very easy to use, although we managed to block it, but there was no problem, the master came and fixed everything. Sunbeds near the sea are free!
Nutrition.
We. tourists who have already passed Turkey, Egypt, Montenegro and Croatia, we are not very positive about all-inclusive food, but when compared, it is definitely better than Egypt and Turkey 5 stars, but worse than Montenegro (at least where we were). I do not agree with the reviews that everything is very tasty and varied. There was practically no seafood, there was only one type of fish and fish sticks of unknown origin. everything is bland and not tasty, on the 3rd day I wanted terribly borscht or okroshka : ). But they pleased with their cheeses, that's what was delicious, because they are of different varieties and for every taste. Drinks are all local free of charge in any quantity until 24-00.
Accommodation.
The hotel is located between two villages: Platanias and Gerani. We didn’t go to the geraniums, but to Platanias it’s about 1-1.5 km, about 15 minutes on foot. There are many cafes and shops. We went there mainly to find a cafe with wifi, because the internet in the hotel is paid with poor speed.
Environment.
90% foreigners: pensioners and couples with children. Sometimes there was not enough communication in their native language : )
Rest.
The hotel does not have very good animation, at the level of a pioneer camp, animators are young girls and guys from Belgium who do not speak Russian. But it's ok for kids. Near the Caldera Beach hotel, where we were allowed to watch their entertainment programs, but there you have to pay for food and drink, which is not very convenient.

We did not go on excursions, since the minimum price per person is from 50 euros, so we rented a car. This was an active learning experience! During the day we managed to go to Elafonisi (pink sands), stopped by, had lunch at our hotel and drove to the other side of the island to the fresh lake Kournas. this is the only way to get to know Crete with its small villages, friendly people. We also traveled by bus to the city of Chania. Also oh. liked the old town with small winding streets and a large promenade in the Venetian style.
In general, we liked everything about the hotel, the room, and the service is not intrusive, the sea and the beach are clean, the weather is great. You need to go, though lonely and without children it is better to find more fun places : )
