We rested in Crete for the first time.
I approached the choice of the hotel very scrupulously, because. Our one year old daughter was with us.
So, the details about the hotel:
The hotel is located next to other Aldemar hotels, all hotels have free movement.
Convenience for rest with small children:
- wonderful animators for children from 3 years old,
- playground with toys - great
- sand is not sand, but micro-pebbles - you can’t build a pnsochny castle, but it’s very nice to touch the sand with your fingers, and it practically doesn’t stick to your feet.
- Strollers are provided at the hotel. BUT - they are suitable for older children (cats sit there because they are tired of walking), they do not fold out into a lying position, in addition, they do not have a hood. Therefore, for crumbs up to 2 years, I advise you to take your own stroller.
- children's menu - there are boiled vegetables, boiled meat and fish. The staff is VERY kind. They always grinded my chosen vegetables into a puree.

- I took my soluble cereals, because My child is used to them. But there was also boiled porridge for breakfast, and oatmeal, and breakfast cereals, any eggs, fruit and natural yogurt.
- fruits - oranges, apples, grapes, bananas, pineapples, canned food. peaches (September end), watermelons and melons - available at every meal (trays with 3-4 different fruits)
- there are steps on the alleys (carriages), but there are also ways to bypass the steps, so there were no problems with passability.
- 2 children's pools. The water is very warm there : )
Settlement, cleaning.
They took a standard room, and settled us on the first line near the pool and the sea in a bungalow with access to the terrace and a lawn in the house. SUPER!
Cleaning every day with change of towels. Linen was changed as needed (we had a child, it happened, soiled the sheets)
Food.
Breakfast from 7 to 11 (may be mistaken over time, I forgot)
Buffet. The choice is excellent (not haute cuisine, but this is 4 *). A couple of varieties of ham cheese, milk, Greek yogurt, omelettes, scrambled eggs, pancakes, honey, breakfast cereals, salads, vegetables, etc. They constantly bring food to replace empty trays.
MUST try - braided bun sprinkled with almond slices - airy, amazing... aaah.
From 11 the bars near the pools open. Food (snacks - sandwiches, pizza, salad, ice cream, juices (chemistry), tea, coffee, alcoholic drinks (different assortment in different bars).
For lunch, lunch is served at the central pool bar (spaghetti bolognese, snacks, simple hot dishes)
Lunch from 12.30 to 14.30 (I can confuse the time !!! ) - everything is decent, constantly different dishes. True, the menu is weekly, so if you go for 2-3 weeks, the menu will be repeated. but the choice is so great that it's not a problem.
Alcohol in bars and restaurants - all inclusive)) except breakfast, of course))
When the main restaurant is closed, the bars near the pools are open - you can always eat! The best choice in a bar near the center. pool.
Dinner - everything is the same - a large choice, every day a culinary demo from the chef (or a pear dessert in spices or amazing deep-fried Greek pies - with the best cheese, etc. )

Upon arrival, you will receive invitations for 2 lunches and 2 dinners at the restaurant. In my opinion, nothing special, but still with a bottle of good wine, with music and dancing and with table service))
Swimming pool, entertainment.
The pools are good, the slide is great))
The animators are just great. International team - Poles, Ukrainians, Russians, Italians. . . Shows every evening. There were two times (after all, we have a small child) - I liked it))
They lived far from the stage and the venue, so the concerts did not interfere with sleep.
In addition to the show - shaping, pilates, aerobics, water sports (aqua aerobics, water polo), volleyball. . .
The distance from the airport is about 30 minutes by taxi (my husband agreed for 40 euros from a private trader). This was also one of the conditions - that after the flight it would not be long to go.
I liked everything.
Minus - we needed a doctor for the child - was in a nearby hotel. Conclusions - it is better to immediately go to the hospital in Hersonissos. Because this doctor will heal
Minus - it was written that they give kayaks for free to the residents of our hotel - they never did (((despite the calm, they said that the sea was unsuitable for boat trips.
Oh yes, the beach - the sand is large, like on a playground. by the way, our beach is better than in the hotels of the higher rank of the Aldemar group. That's why the neighbors came to us))
Well that's all. There will be questions - write and have a great rest, gentlemen!
