We rested from August 25 to September 8.2013. Upon arrival, we were told that they would not be able to accommodate us in a bungalow with a large bed, as we indicated, today and were offered a bungalow with "two beds". Arriving at the bungalow, we saw a good room with two beds pushed together and a good sea view from the terrace. … More ▾ We rested from August 25 to September 8.2013. Upon arrival, we were told that they would not be able to accommodate us in a bungalow with a large bed, as we indicated, today and were offered a bungalow with "two beds". Arriving at the bungalow, we saw a good room with two beds pushed together and a good sea view from the terrace. The bungalow was a corner bungalow and the sea view was direct, while neighboring bungalows in the same building had a sea view over the unsympathetic concrete roof of the front bungalows. On the same day, we turned to the reception to the manager Elizabeth and said that we want to stay in this bungalow, that the bed suits us. Elisabeth, who spoke Russian quite well, told us that this was not possible, since we had booked a bungalow with a double bed, and this room was already reserved for guests who ordered two beds and would be moved the next day. The next day, we tried to resolve the issue so as not to move (we didn’t want to pack and unpack things again) through a travel agency representative. But she failed to do this either, though the explanation for the reason was already different - supposedly this bungalow is reserved for guests who have been going to it for 20 years and the hotel values ​ ​ them very much. We got the key to the new bungalow and went to look at it. It turned out to be practically a copy of the one from which we were evicted - with exactly the same two beds pushed together. But the view from his terrace was much worse - on concrete roofs and a strip of sea above it. Realizing that it was difficult to argue with the hotel administration, we went to pack our things in our first bungalow, but our keys were already blocked and we did not get into it. Having traveled 300 meters in a 30-degree heat to the reception, we again became indignant at such an attitude towards customers, showed Elizabeth photos of the beds and asked which of them was the "king size bed"? She, of course, could not explain anything intelligible, as well as why our things remained in the blocked room. The issue with unlocking the keys was resolved in 20 minutes. Having moved, we demanded a meeting with the director of the hotel, we were taken to the director Nikos. He apologized, but said that they could not return our first bungalow to us and offered to move in from September 1 in the third bungalow by the pool. After watching it, we abandoned this option, concluding that tourists from Russia are treated here as second-class people. Thus, almost a whole day of rest was ruined for us. A few days later, the director Nikos sent us a bottle of Greek wine (you could drink it) and an invitation from the management to visit the "Cretan evening" for free (other guests paid 20 euros per person). We accepted the apology. Now about the hotel itself. Bungalows of the same price category are equipped differently. The second had no bathrobes and no mirror on the wall. Near the entrance to the bungalows, at times there was a strong unpleasant sewer smell, it seems that the sewerage is there in the form of a septic tank. Part of the large area of ​ ​ the hotel is not lit in the evening and we used a flashlight. WI-FI only at the reception and in the cafe. Not even in the hotel restaurant. Breakfast in the restaurant is not bad, but monotonous - every day the same thing. Juices are all unnatural and tasteless. We only went out for dinner twice. Dinner is not tasty, second courses are just terrible, even the fish was inedible. drinks must be purchased at prices higher than those in local restaurants. But on a paid Cretan evening on Fridays, the food was very varied and tasty, which means they know how to cook, they just don’t want to do it every day and for a large number of guests. But near the hotel there are many taverns where the food is tasty and inexpensive. The hotel is in a good location - close to everything. The hotel has its own good beach with a convenient entrance to the sea, free sunbeds and umbrellas for guests, good pools with a relaxation area around and a fitness room. In the evening after 21 o'clock the hotel is already quiet, there is no animation. The rooms are cleaned daily and clean, but the beach towels have not been changed even once in two weeks. In a bungalow on the bed there are only two small pillows 30x50, it is not comfortable to sleep.

The impressions from the rest in this hotel were the best. Of course, the hotel itself is very old and resembles a Soviet sanatorium, but: 1. Daily cleaning 2. Change of linen every 3 days. The beach is awesome! The sand is light, entry into the sea is very convenient, especially for those who are afraid of a sharp drop in depth. … More ▾ The impressions from the rest in this hotel were the best.

The beach is awesome! The sand is light, entry into the sea is very convenient, especially for those who are afraid of a sharp drop in depth. The view around is fabulous - palm trees, mountains...
The staff is very polite, attentive, they began to learn Russian, because. there are a lot of Russians there this year.
There is no animation, but for us it was a plus - peace and quiet.
In general, this is a hotel for adult couples.

Rested with his wife from July 23 to August 2.2009. Almost everything that was written about him on the Internet is true! The hotel is now 30% full. Mostly Germans, British, 10-12 Russians. There are practically no young people. Married couples with 1-3 children, and / or husband + wife + mother-in-law / father-in-law. … More ▾ Rested with his wife from July 23 to August 2.2009.
Almost everything that was written about him on the Internet is true!
The hotel is now 30% full. Mostly Germans, British, 10-12 Russians. There are practically no young people. Married couples with 1-3 children, and / or husband + wife + mother-in-law / father-in-law.
In the evening, no entertainment, after dinner - like in a morgue. 2 pools (one for children), a large pool equipped with diving towers, depth: on one side 0.8 m, and on the other 3.8 m. The water is clean, chlorine is a minimum.
Around the pool table tennis, billiards, various exercise equipment. There are eateries on both sides of the beach where you can grab something to eat or drink. The beach is luxurious! The sand is clean, 50-70 meters fine, then the bottom smoothly goes into the depths. for us, sunbeds and umbrellas are free of charge, and for outsiders - 3.5 euros per nose per day. A local guy walks around and collects to give from everyone who has towels not from the hotel. In the morning (until 10-30) there are 3-4 couples on our beach, more on the neighboring beach. No one takes sunbeds, in the sea
they swim a little, sunbathe, read, talk on mobile phones... 5% of the ladies are topless.
Food: breakfast buffet - yogurts, juices (from packages), scrambled eggs, bacons, sausages, cheeses, sweets, coffee....
In general - a normal breakfast for 3-4 stars. Lunch: less than 10% of the guests dine from almost the entire hotel, so everyone in
lunch is served by waiters. At lunch, there is practically no choice of dishes (as in 2-3 star hotels), only Greek salad or cucumbers
with tomatoes + olive oil, and stuffed tomatoes were served once, for the second or fish (one and the same)
or meat (beef one day, pork the other), watermelon for dessert (only) and ALL drinks are paid!! ! Bottle of water - 2.6 euros
(in a nearby store 7 times cheaper), beer 3.5 euros (6 times more expensive), I am silent about strong drinks.
Dinner: salads and snacks with dessert + fruits - buffet, although the choice is monotonous and does not pull on 4 stars. There is a soup (1 or 2 positions),
but for the second - a poor choice: only 2 positions every day: either fish or meat. Drinks are all paid as in lunch.
We paid half board and, having refused dinners, we went to the hotel for lunch in the afternoon, and dined in the town (neighboring) or
bought grub in a supermarket (prices are lower than in Moscow "Perekrestok" or "Auchan") and dined on the terrace in front of our room,
under a palm tree 200 m from the gently noisy sea. In neighboring taverns, 15-20 euros are taken from the nose for a salad, meat / fish dish, coffee
and a portion of "ouzo" - aniseed vodka (very good with ice). At the end of dinner - a free drink from the establishment. Portions are huge if
have been to Germany - no less!
The room (I took a picture for you, then I will send it from Moscow) fully met expectations: a bungalow with very modern technology
plasma on the wall (but only one channel on the Russian RTR-Planeta), shower and bath, large full-wall window overlooking the sea, condo,
safe (free of charge), refrigerator, telephone, large terrace with palm trees, 50 m children's pool, in which almost no one
does not swim. On the terrace there is a table, 2 chairs, 2 sun loungers, an umbrella.
There are beautiful tiles on the floor and walls of the toilet, beautiful furniture, a large (huge) bed, a table, chairs, armchairs, etc.
no hotel! I hooked on the WiFi of a nearby hotel and for 5 euros I got access to a fairly fast channel for 90 minutes.
I sit on the terrace and surf the web from my laptop. At the reception they said that somewhere (and where they don’t know) there is an Internet cafe,
in which for 3 euros per hour you can climb the Net. (Then we found 1.5 euros for half an hour). I want to emphasize that this hotel (as they wrote) is mainly for people
sedate, not seeking adventure!
It is quiet here in the evenings, there are no animators, no music, as in a small German town in the evening after 20-30.
But the neighboring "Ikaros Hotel" is full of life: a lot of young people, music plays, children and adults are "spud" by animators. He has
spa salons, shops, hairdressers, restaurants, car rental, etc. For the young and active - the way there. For 20 euros per day you can
take a quad bike and go to neighboring towns, a car for a day and 40 to 100 euros, depending on the brand and size. A solarium costs about a euro, gasoline 1.2 euros.
The sea was stormy all 10 days, there was a constant breeze and therefore it was not hot - 25-28 C. Only one day there was a calm sea, but without wind - horror! 35 C and it's impossible to breathe!
Ordered so far 2 excursions: Knossos Palace and, a day later, o. Spinalongi. Local operator Gea Travel - guides are terrible. they barely speak Russian. The booklet says more about the Palace of Knossos than she told us. About Heraklion - 10 min. along the pedestrian street, to the left is the market, and to the right is the church. For 2 hours, the bus collected people from all hotels and then it turned out that at the end of these fees, 5 people came to 1 seat on the bus !!!!!!!!! ! They sent a taxi, and there 2 mothers with 3 children barely spread out. Organization of the trip below the plinth. During the trip, the guide - Konstantin - chatted with the driver, not paying attention
no attention to us!
The second excursion about. Spinalonga is total darkness! For 53 euros from the nose! ! brought to a small bay with a beach line of about 100 m, and then another 5 sailed there!!!!!!!!! ! steamboats! Don't change clothes, don't lie down! 2 hours in the heat, and then "barbecue" on the steamer. Cucumbers and tomatoes piled on a small plate
above - a piece of meat, half a glass of sour wine, without any tables there, practically on weight, swaying on the waves. Then we sailed back, a 30-minute tour of about. Spinalonga, where the lepers lived, and then to St. Nicholas. There is very little information, 10 minutes walk around the city. and were released by the lake for 30 minutes.
On about. Our neighbors went to Santoria, the sea is rough and not everyone can withstand 5 hours of pitching.

Rested from 05.09 to 13.09. 2008 wonderful hotel, took all inclusive. Food is ok, no frills. But I do not advise anyone who will travel. We took the car and skipped lunches and dinners. Opposite the hotel there is a shop, many cafes and souvenir tents. Not far from the hotel, on foot it’s true to go uphill, and in the heat it’s uncomfortable, the lake. … More ▾ Rested from 05.09 to 13.09. 2008 wonderful hotel, took all inclusive.

Not far from the hotel, on foot it’s true to go uphill, and in the heat it’s uncomfortable, the lake. There is a wonderful cafe with a Russian-speaking waitress and a Pole Tom, I definitely recommend pies with goat cheese with honey, just class. But what was surprising, there was no free tea in the hotel, a small cup for 2 euros from a bag and it turned out half a cup ((And on the lake they gave me a huge cup of tea with lemon, for me it was a gift. So tea lovers, take a kettle with you and you will be satisfied. Excursions are expensive and not worth it. It is better to travel around on your own. Elafonisi beach is cool, pink sand, but the sea is cold. The Cretan evening was not very successful, a lot of people, 300 people, very little food, not much fun. Once again, it’s better to repeat yourself we took a car for 2 days to drive everything and regretted the money spent on excursions, it would be better if we traveled a few more days. . in Chania there are many shops where everything costs 1.5 euros, they bought souvenirs for friends there. And so opposite the hotel there are many souvenir shops and at a price cheaper than in cities. The market in Chania is also good. I advise everyone to Crete!! ! Next time only there and in this hotel! !
