We rested in Anissa Beach from May 25 to June 3, two couples with children 1 year old, 8 months old and 6 years old, upon arrival it rained for 3 days, but this did not overshadow our trip. we took a car and drove to Hersonissos, Heraklion, Rethymno, I’ll tell you right away for those who are going to drive a car, the cost near the hotel along the beach promenade is 20 euros more expensive than in Hersonissos, but we took it from the hotel. didn't know about it. The rest of the rest, the weather was magnificent 25-27, we even burned out, the sea was 21.
Hotel: wonderful with a beautiful green area, which is written a lot in the reviews, very clean and well maintained. Calm, there are no entertainment events during the day, they turn on music, only on the beach, it’s very quiet, but if you rent a car, you won’t be bored, there is something to see. Animation every evening in German, my husband even participated, it was fun and mini disco every evening.
For children: children's shallow pool, my child just did not get out of it, the water in it is warm. There is a playground, a mini club, but we did not visit it. With a stroller, you can safely move around the entire territory of the hotel, there are no steps on the street, as they say in the reviews, but only to the hotel, you don’t need to carry a stroller on yourself; there is an elevator for this. Well, if your child walks, then why does he need a stroller - let him move more

Room: very basic but clean, cleaned every day, towels changed every other day. Shower, hairdryer, TV (there are Russian channels), refrigerator (empty), terrace with table and chairs, 2 single beds connected together and 1 folding chair against the wall. Cons: air conditioning only works since July, it was very stuffy at night, safe 20 euros per week - I think it's expensive and most often it's free.
Food: at the highest level, and we have to compare with what we were in Turkey, Egypt, Croatia, Italy, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Cyprus. The food in the restaurants is fresh and delicious. Breakfasts are standard scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages, cereals, canned fruits, yoghurts, cottage cheese, cheese and meat cuts, tea, coffee. There is no porridge, but my child didn’t suffer from this in 10 days, but there were pancakes with champagne, it’s a pity that only on Sundays. For lunch and dinner, they cook meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, cheeses, fruits (watermelons, melon, apples, pears, oranges), ice cream, wine, beer, fanta, cola sprite, mineral water, juices, but something diluted. There is no special children's menu, but you could choose what to feed the child. They provide high chairs for babies. We had no problems in choosing food for the child - he ate everything !! ! For dinner there was always soup, a delicious child ate with pleasure, for lunch pasta with meat or stewed vegetables.
The beach is wonderful. The entrance to the sea is small pebbles, further sand, quite fine and clean. The beach is wide, sandy with normal sunbeds and umbrellas. Sunbeds, umbrellas, free of charge, but they were not always enough, if you come after 10 o’clock everything is busy, but it’s only on the beach, and on the territory of the hotel for vacationers sunbeds are everywhere on the grass, and not just around the pool and they are free. Beach towels are issued against a deposit of 10 euros at the pool bar. The sea is just great! Calm, warm, of extraordinary beauty, clean and transparent, and there were no waves. You entered without problems and swam.
Alcoholic drinks in the bar are of good quality, cocktails are safe to drink. We took mostly tequila, martini, gin tonic, and some interesting local drink “Pushkin”. In the Lobby Bar and in the Garden Bar, you don’t have to approach the counter at all, but sit down at a table and the waiter immediately comes up and you can make an order, and as soon as the drink is drunk, the waiter is right there and asks for a new order. Apparently due to the fact that there are a lot of Russians 80% of the rest of the foreigners are mostly Germans, There were no problems explaining themselves, there are always staff in the hotel who understand Russian. Everyone in the shops speaks Russian.

In conclusion, I want to say that those who are going to this hotel do not hesitate, the hotel is perfect for relaxing with a child or a fun company.
