My husband and I stayed at this hotel at the end of May - beginning of June. Overall impression - a wonderful hotel! And don't believe the bad reviews. Of course, the one who wants to see the negative will always find it, and the one who has good emotions with an open heart will certainly notice only the good.
In principle, the hotel is a family hotel, i. e. more vacationers with children and older. This is especially noticeable during animation. But it didn't bother us at all (I think young people and not only will find something to do if they don't like animation or disco : )). Children are allowed everything. Everyone there just loves them. The restaurant even has specials for them. chairs. Near the children's pool near the main building - a playground, pencils, paints, plasticine, a designer, drawing boards, etc. you can not take with you.
Regarding nutrition. I just can not imagine what kind of "gourmets" could not like the food. Probably fried!
Seven types of meat (chicken, rabbit, lamb, pork, veal, turkey... ). At least three varieties per day. You might think it's better to eat at home. The chef has always been present for breakfast (fried eggs, pancakes, donuts... ) and for dinner (either shish kebab, fries fish, or cooks spaghetti). And he always greets everyone and wishes you bon appetit. Salads immeasurably. Do not like it - do it yourself (there are also a lot of chopped vegetables, and spices, and 4 varieties of olive oil). I can't figure out what's the problem? We did just that. On a plate of tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, olives, onions, sweet peppers, feta cheese (by the way, it was always in unlimited quantities), seasoned - and enjoy! Always fish (sometimes fried, sometimes steamed, sometimes baked, sometimes in sauce). Of the side dishes - potatoes are different, pasta, spaghetti with sauces, rice, beans, peas, etc. t. I’m already silent about all sorts of sausages, meatballs, casseroles, vegetable stews ...
From fruits - apples, watermelons, melons, bananas, kiwi, tangerines, oranges, grapefruits. At the expense of sweet - just bliss. For 14 days, each time something new was tried. Ice cream in the restaurant and by the pool. Also near the pool at the bar - pizza from 11, sandwiches, muffins, milk necks ...By the way, for children in the morning there was always a healthy breakfast (oatmeal, semolina). Among the drinks: alcoholic - ouzo (aniseed vodka), crayfish (grape moonshine), beer, red and white wine; hot - tea, coffee, hot chocolate, latte, cappuccino; cooling - water, fanta, sprite, cola, juices (orange, grapefruit, apple). We just didn’t get to bread anymore (many types). In short, the "gourmet" will not remain hungry: ) The only negative is that already at the end of our vacation, somewhere in early June, flies began to get out: (including in the restaurant.
The staff is just wonderful. Always smiling, friendly. And it’s not a problem to explain yourself in Russian, especially with Viktor.
And George (he is the chief administrator there, as we understand it) simply struck with his attitude towards vacationers. Always greet before breakfast, lunch, dinner. And thank you at the end. It is also surprising that if necessary (for example, the waitresses near the sweet sometimes did not have time to clean up after children's adventures: ), then they will wipe the floor. At the same time, in a white shirt and tie: ) And so everything - no one looks at the boss or not.
And what a view from the hotel, especially from the restaurant! The spirit is captivating! The hotel is on the mountain, and you look directly at the sea! And the territory of the hotel is always clean, quite large, everywhere there are palm trees, green spaces.
We had number 309 in the main building, although we bought it in the annex building (i. e. , a remote building. If I'm not mistaken, there are 3.1 of them - on the territory of the main building, and 2 more - across the road. By the way, it's also good there. Not so noisy, the bar is almost always free near the pool, sun loungers too.
We went there - to the one along the central road - in the morning, after 11 am, after the sea). The windows overlooked the main pool and the area where the animation was held. At first they were upset, they wanted silence. But you can adapt to everything: ) And given what the sea view was from the balcony (and the sunrise)! ! ! And a plasma TV. By the way, you can take a flash drive with movies or cartoons for kids. Russian channel 1. Cleaned every day. However, we did not leave a tip. Towels were changed 3 times.
For excursions. We didn't take them. We decided to rent a car (and this is not a problem at all, on every corner. The hotel is much more expensive). We took for 60 euros for 2 days. It is possible for longer, but still it is tiring all day long on serpentines and in the heat. I especially liked the Palace of Knossos, the lassithi plateau, the cave of Zeus, the resort towns of Mattala (they swam in the Libyan Sea) and Elounda. And in Rethymno (once it was a Venetian town, i. e.
very narrow intertwined streets), as in the "Diamond Hand" got lost: ).
And of course the beaches. All beaches are municipal. Near the hotel there are 3 of them:
1. The one that is closer (mononaftis) we did not really like. The entrance is rocky.
2. Psaromuro is a little further, but great. We chose him. So clean, cozy and the entrance is better, there are fewer people.
3. Beach in the village of Agia Pelagia. 25 minutes walk from the hotel. In principle, not bad either, but a lot of people. We went there if we needed to buy something or call, usually after dinner.
In general, we really liked the hotel, and the staff, and the inhabitants of the island, and the island itself. We went for a good mood, emotions, inspiration, and we got them! ! !
