I want to draw the attention of all who choose this hotel to the level of service. The surprises start right away. Instead of a pre-selected room, they put you with a smile into the darkest, most uncomfortable, with a dreary look, it’s not clear what. Naturally, we go to the reception to understand. The manager swears by all the most sacred that this is what is needed, and there is nothing else. We make a polite but persistent scandal, as a result of which, after about 1.5 hours, we achieve accommodation in a normal room. The mood is ruined. In the process of dismantling and waiting, we met a young family of compatriots, they arrived 2 hours earlier, got the same situation when placing, they advised us to stand to the end. There were a lot of places in the hotel, but, apparently, they are trying to shove us Russians far away in order to have a reserve for Europeans, a kind of hidden discrimination. On the day of departure, a similar picture was observed: a young Russian woman with 2 children and a mother, who bought a tour from a well-known tour operator, with an expensive, large room, with a good view, stood at the reception in shock at the proposed small, dark room. How could I help with advice. I could not get the terrace to be wiped with something wet. In the period from 13.30 to 15.30 they tried to rest in the room from the heat, it was not always possible - cleaning was going on. Day 3, the lock on the door when closing worked only with a strong, loud slamming. They repaired it only after 3 repeated appeals, but rather, after complaints from neighbors. Otherwise, everything is fine: food, an atmosphere of complacency and slovenliness (in which the Greeks are very similar to us), weather, beach, crystal water and, of course, the island itself, which is a must to drive around (our rights are valid without international confirmation). The trip to Santorini is generally amazing. Mountain warm lake Kourna Lake is wonderful! Comparing with Cyprus, I will say the following: it is hotter there, the service and attitude are better, in my opinion, but Crete is more beautiful and interesting, and I explain the gouging of the Greek service by the fact that the influx of tourists from Europe is large, and some minor problems will be swallowed up in the process . In general, no matter what - all in Crete!
