The hotel is located close to the sea, near the market, souvenir shops, car rental, pharmacy. The food is not with a very wide range, but everything is edible, on Thursday there was a lot of seafood (squid, octopus, mussels, various fish), there is always fruit. In the kitchen it was necessary to walk in disposable mittens and with masks.

The hotel has an outdoor pool, tennis court, table tennis.
We liked the fact that there are many rental cars nearby. On average, a car per day is 60 euros. We visited Balos - a place where 3 seas meet (incredible beauty, pay attention), Seitan Limania Beach (a real blue lagoon), the cities of Rethymnon and Chania.
Minuses.
The soundproofing in the room is poor, neighbors and even neighboring hotels are very audible. Cleaning is also bad, towels were changed, perhaps, once, despite the fact that there are no separate towels for the beach. It was possible to hide only with a sheet, there was a blanket, but there was no underclothing.
There was no curtain or partition in the shower, when there is everything around, because the room is very small. There is no drinking water in the room, you need to either take a glass from the dining room, or buy it, this is not thought out.

Good hotel. New numbers. The dining room has a beautiful view of the sea. The variety of the menu is enough to try something new every day. There is a playground and animation by the pool. But it is better to go to such places together to travel around the town and visit different beaches. If I get a chance, I will definitely go again.

We rested with my family this summer on the island of Crete, in the 3-star hotel Atali Village. The hotel is located just west of Heraklion Airport, in the town of Bali. The place is beautiful, there is a stunning natural bay and several sandy beaches. The hotel itself is favorably located at the beginning of the town and we reached the nearest beach in 5 minutes.

We rested with my family this summer on the island of Crete, in the 3-star hotel Atali Village. The hotel is located just west of Heraklion Airport, in the town of Bali. The place is beautiful, there is a stunning natural bay and several sandy beaches. The hotel itself is favorably located at the beginning of the town and we reached the nearest beach in 5 minutes. The hotel has 2 swimming pools, but we often preferred, of course, the sea! The hotel does not have its own sunbeds on the beach, and we had to pay 6 € for two, however, when we took drinks in coastal taverns, they generously provided us with their sunbeds for free.
About the hotel itself, I can only say that the food is decent for 3 stars. The menu is varied, there were always 3-5 types of side dishes, 2-3 meat dishes, salads, fruits (melon, watermelon, peach, grapes, nectarines, apples). A good selection of 4-6 types of desserts: mousses, cakes, jellies, muffins, cakes, etc. The room is brand new, quite spacious and clean. We singled out the lack of a shower curtain as a minus for ourselves, otherwise everything is fine. I warn you in advance that you will have to pay 6 € per day for air conditioning in the room, it turns out quite expensive if you have a rest for two weeks, and without it, of course, it is very hot.
In general, we spent little time at the hotel, getting to know the island was our main task, and here special thanks to our hotel guide Pavel. With his help, we visited Balos, the confluence of 3 seas, the palace of the first European civilization with the labyrinth of the minotaur "Knoss", a water park (where our son visited twice). We got a special pleasure from the Cretan evening, where we tried local drinks (crayfish, ouzo, wines). Also really liked the local lamb, which they cook on the fire for 4 hours.
Vacation was a hit! All were satisfied! Will we return again? CERTAINLY!

The hotel is located in a bay where the water is always warm. Easy to get to Rethymnon and Chania. All inclusive: children enjoy ice cream and a pool, and adults enjoy light cold wine and beer and . . a pool, it's a pity that after eight in the evening you can no longer swim in the pool. But - near the warm sea! The sea is amazing! For the sake of it, all minor shortcomings are forgiven in the form of not very high-quality tap water (we had a mini kettle with us, we had to buy water, as the local tap gave out unappetizing foams), not very organized early breakfasts and late dinners (on breakfast only coffee, roll, butter and jam, and for dinner - well, what was left after everyone.

We were embarrassed, as if we were begging for a plate of food that the kitchen workers had prepared for themselves), lack of a water pump in the toilet room, cleaning on Sundays. But the hotel staff themselves are very nice, friendly, ready to help at the first call.

I want to share my impressions about staying at this hotel and about the rest in general. First time in Crete and the experience is quite positive. We stayed in a room with a sea view. The room is modest, but given that we spent most of the holiday outside the room, everything suited us: three beds for two, an en-suite shower room, a refrigerator.

I want to share my impressions about staying at this hotel and about the rest in general. First time in Crete and the experience is quite positive.
We stayed in a room with a sea view. The room is modest, but given that we spent most of the holiday outside the room, everything suited us: three beds for two, an en-suite shower room, a refrigerator.
The food in the restaurant is decent, for 10 days we have not become tired of it. Delicious donuts for breakfast, plenty of vegetables and fruits, meat and fish dishes. By the way, the coffee is decent here. I was pleased with the hospitality of the staff: the restaurant manager welcomed and wished you a pleasant appetite. In general, hospitality is apparently in the blood of the Cretans, because they are happy to greet everywhere and still smile, even if you don’t even go to their store or cafe.
The sea is nearby. The path is a bit uphill, but it didn’t upset us - so we didn’t move much... The beach is excellent - sandy, small inclusions of pebbles that you don’t pay attention to. The entrance is gentle and, which is nice, the water is clean - at the bottom you can see everything.
The hotel has a small massage room. Nothing unusual, everything for relaxation - massage with various oils, an interesting program for those who are "roasted" in the sun. This is the place to relax on vacation.
Cons: unstable Internet - constantly breaks down. Not suitable for remote work.
The organization of the rest was at the highest level. Thanks for this to our operator and the representative of the company: they notified us in time, picked us up, told us. The representative at the hotel always answered questions of interest and was always in sight.
We hope to visit this place again. Thanks!

We had a great rest, the only thing for the last couple of days was very, very hot, we didn’t know where to hide from this heat.

Good evening to all those who are going to go on vacation to Crete. We rested there in July, from 15.07 to 29.07 at the Atali Village 3 * hotel. We had a great rest, the only thing for the last couple of days was very, very hot, we didn’t know where to hide from this heat. The sea was excellent, warm and there were never waves during our entire vacation. The hotel is not bad for a triple, located in the village of Bali, in the bay and from the hotel, namely from the reception and some rooms offer beautiful views of the bay. But, unfortunately, it was not our room))) We lived in room 472, a room with access to the terrace and right next to the path along which they travel with suitcases and walk all the vacationers. The window also looked out the same way. On the other side of the room, behind the wall, was the pool. Accordingly, the room was always noisy . . We turned to the reception with a question about resettlement and two days later we were moved to room 612. Very cozy and quiet.
The food is not very varied, but everything is very tasty. During the day you can drink tea and coffee, eat ice cream or order a drink at the bar.
Walk 150 meters to the beach, there are no beach towels. 2 sun loungers and an umbrella on the beach costs 6 euros. For the last 3 days we took the air conditioner. Paid 18 euros for 3 days as it was very hot. The safe costs 20 euros for a week, for two 30 euros.
Animation only in French and Czech, for almost the entire day. Someone may not like this, because again, all day long music plays on the territory of the hotel and it is very noisy. They take a short break for lunch only. But this did not bother us in the slightest, despite the problem in communication, we took part in the animation.
In general, if you want to relax not so expensive, but comfortable in the top three, then you are here.

We thought about the rest back in February, reviewed a bunch of sites, everyone was looking for a cheaper hotel, but not quite a simple one. We opted for Atali Village 3*. We saw that Mouzenidis had this hotel cheaper than all of them, so we decided to contact them without hesitation. To be honest, I have never regretted it.

We thought about the rest back in February, reviewed a bunch of sites, everyone was looking for a cheaper hotel, but not quite a simple one. We opted for Atali Village 3*. We saw that Mouzenidis had this hotel cheaper than all of them, so we decided to contact them without hesitation. To be honest, I have never regretted it. At the airport, we were met with a company sign, escorted to the counter, and then to the bus. We have been to many places, but this is the first time we have seen such service. On the way to the hotel, the girl was nice and interesting talking about the island and its sights.
At the hotel we were met by a hotel guide (which again pleased and surprised) and helped with the check-in. When we were brought to the hotel, and we saw this hill, which we had to climb, to be honest, we were upset at first, since my husband and I are no longer young, almost 60 years old, and we thought it would be hard for us to walk back and forth every day . But, of course, by the end of the holiday, we didn’t think so, because after such delicious food, which was offered here for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we were only glad for the additional gymnastics. The hotel looks like new, always clean and nice. The rooms are cozy, there is everything you need to relax, except for a refrigerator and a TV, but we didn’t need it, we came to relax !! ! We took the air conditioner for the whole vacation, as we rested from June 15 to June 25 and it was already pretty hot during the day, but in the evening we slept without air conditioning, we just opened the window. Paid 60 euros for 10 days. We spent whole days on the beach, visited animation, exercises, water gymnastics several times... Here, the knowledge of the language did not prevent us from joining everyone and relaxing. The animation was all in French. By the way, there are no beach towels in the hotel. We didn’t take it with us, so we had to buy, if I’m not mistaken, we paid 8 euros for one towel. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas at the hotel on the beach. We once paid 6 euros for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella, and then we bought a rug and rested on the rug on the sidelines. Of the excursions, we only went to the confluence of the three seas, or, as all local Greeks say, "the kiss of the three seas. " My husband and I liked it, we even climbed the fortress. Tired indeed, but it was worth it. What stunning views from above, there are no words to describe everything seen. Thanks to the guide Daria, she is so young, and she already knows how to tell so interesting. She went up to the fortress with us, told everything, showed us everything. Very caring and attentive, and most importantly, it is clear that she loves her job very much!!!
Efcharisto Crete!! ! We will definitely be back!!! .

Atali Village is located in a very beautiful place, surrounded by mountains in the resort town of Bali. Showing pictures to friends, my husband and I joked that we had just arrived from Bali (Indonesia), they are so colorful, saturated with the green color of the surrounding nature and the azure color of the sea.

Atali Village is located in a very beautiful place, surrounded by mountains in the resort town of Bali. Showing pictures to friends, my husband and I joked that we had just arrived from Bali (Indonesia), they are so colorful, saturated with the green color of the surrounding nature and the azure color of the sea. But in fact, in our Bali in Crete, we had enough impressions, delight, and flying is much closer and cheaper)) So the hotel is very conveniently located. Near taverns, restaurants, bars, cafes - this was our main requirement for the hotel. But at the same time, they wanted the hotel to work on an all-inclusive basis, so that if you want to arrange a lazy day for yourself, you can bask on a sun lounger and not look for where you can dine.
The rooms, of course, are simple, but the main thing for us was that there were no problems with hot water and the beds were with comfortable mattresses. In principle, the style of the room is minimalism, nothing superfluous, on the other hand, there was no strange picture that could strain)) We had a superior room, they are new, they were built only last year. So everything worked without interruption. Free internet was only in the lobby. Another disadvantage is air conditioning for a fee.
A few words about what you can do in the hotel itself. Of course, the most important thing why people go on vacation is the beach. It is nearby, 100 meters away, sandy, the sunset is good, there were almost no waves when we rested. We were generally lucky with the weather. Umbrellas and sun loungers as usual for a surcharge. We often played ping-pong. For children there is a swimming pool and a playground, animation for children seems to be quite good. We got acquainted with the family, their child spent a lot of time in the mini-club, he was all surprised that the baby, not knowing the language, found many new foreign friends for herself, the children generally quickly adapt.
In general, we had a good rest, the second time in Crete, and I think not the last. But next time, for a change, Crete and a couple of days in Santorini are probably compatible.

Visiting Minos. For the May holidays we went to Crete. Of course, we booked the tour in advance, as holidays for the May holidays are usually taken in advance. We arrived early, they explained to us that check-in was after 14 and we had to wait. The hotel is very simple, but for 3 * it’s not even bad - there is animation and food according to the system - all inclusive, which was a big plus for us.

The hotel is located in the village of Bali, there are very beautiful landscapes and lots of greenery. The rooms are simple like everywhere else, it turned out that for some reason not all rooms have a mini bar and a TV, but it doesn't matter. The hotel has a very lively animation, the guys are very funny and you don’t want to sit in the room. The food at the hotel is quite varied and tasty, as for 3 *. There were fruits and meat, we always ate enough. Near the hotel there is a shop - Fresh Market, where we bought sweets and wine, very tasty and not expensive 3-4 euros. A couple of times we went to eat at the Petrino tavern, which is located in the bay. For food, we were served fruit slices and an alcoholic drink Rakia, as a free compliment) The beach is relatively close to 250 meters, the hotel is located on a hill - this must be taken into account, the city beach and sun loungers are paid - 6 euros, but you can take something at the bar and calmly use sunbeds. If you go left to the very end of the village - there is a very beautiful lagoon, where there are no sunbeds or bars, you feel alone with nature. We took the tour from our company "Mouzenidis Travel" and did not regret it, the guides know their work 100%! We went to see the Palace of Knossos and Heraklion, and our second tour was "Cretan Evening". It was an unforgettable holiday! We were very tasty fed, the wine was unlimited. During the reception of the dishes, there was an interesting entertainment program about Greek culture and the crown of the evening was the dance - sirtaki, which we all danced together (a couple of hundred people). It was unforgettably fun, we felt the spirit of Greece. Many thanks to Mouzenidis Travel for a wonderful holiday!

Chose a hotel based on photos of tourists, having a choice of 5-6 options. This one seemed the nicest. We did not expect unnecessary ponts a la snow-white bathrobes in the bathroom, so were not shocked : ) The first thing that catches your eye - TOO MANY KATSAPS! already on the second or third day all this "akannya" and "chYokannya" caused almost vomiting.

Chose a hotel based on photos of tourists, having a choice of 5-6 options. This one seemed the nicest. We did not expect unnecessary ponts a la snow-white bathrobes in the bathroom, so were not shocked : )
The first thing that catches your eye - TOO MANY KATSAPS! already on the second or third day all this "akannya" and "chYokannya" caused almost vomiting. There are a lot of signs in Russian in the town, shop assistants know a few words in Russian and try to use them all, but we spoke only Ukrainian and English, even with Russians.
Upon arrival, it turned out that the hotel does not have its own rooms and we were accommodated in rooms at Talea beach (closer to the sea), but the reception, bar, restaurant - all in Attalus, so we were even better. At the reception, one of the girls speaks Russian, the rest - English. Air conditioning should be taken immediately, the first night we tried to sleep without it - bad, so do not squeeze).
The safe is worse, it is not in the room, and there is no reception, we had to pick them up a bit, but still we installed a safe, though - at the reception, but free: -).
The room is small, 9 squares, the room has a bed, bedside table. table, mirror, large closet, telephone, telephone. The bed is VERY creaking: - On the balcony table, two chairs. Rope and clips for hanging clothes should be taken with you or bought in the supermarket. There are no shower gels, etc. There is no hair dryer, the sides of the shower are low, so the floor in the bathroom is wet.
The food is normal, tasty, but without delicacies.
Morning - traditional continental breakfast (eggs, omelet, sausages, fruits and vegetables, bread, jams), lunch and dinner - more common.
Very tasty desserts (pastries, panna cotta, etc. ), fresh fruit every time: watermelon, melon, peaches). Drinks include tea, coffee (for lunch and dinner - at the bar), bad white and rosé wine (the Greeks have tasteless wine, tested and different in bottles - the same effect), bad beer, local analogues of colifantsprite and jupp-like juices, so on breakfast we took orange juice (2 euros), for lunch and dinner - cola, beer, apple juice (the only more or less decent).
The beach is quite dirty (after all, so many Russians are resting! ), But the water is just a fairy tale: clean, transparent, nice! The first days the sea was calm, then the waves rose. The sea is shallow, so there are a LOT of children! All kinds of water activities are quite expensive, so at any hour you can find a free catamaran and jet ski.
Sunbeds and umbrellas were also free, but they were never used, sunbathing on the bedding. Bathed at night - clean, warm, no one drove.
Buying tours at the hotel is very stupid, because the same tours can be bought for 10-30 euros cheaper from independent offices. We are not interested in that: renting a brand new Nissan Micro for two days cost 85 euros. Took in the Rental under the hotel, between "Frozen yogurt" and "Zeus", by the way, all souvenirs can be purchased in the same Zeus, the choice of rates and prices are adequate. In two days we spent 55 euros on gasoline. We drove near the bay of Balos (not by ship, there is a normal road up the mountain, do not believe the dude from the car rental), Chania, Rethymno, the cave of Miladoni, the palace of Knossos, Heraklion. in four days you can really travel around everything interesting in Crete, but the economic benefits are only for the travels of four!

Sunbeds and umbrellas were also free, but they were never used, sunbathing on the bedding. Bathed at night - clean, warm, no one drove.
Buying tours at the hotel is very stupid, because the same tours can be bought for 10-30 euros cheaper from independent offices. We are not interested in that: renting a brand new Nissan Micro for two days cost 85 euros. Took in the Rental under the hotel, between "Frozen yogurt" and "Zeus", by the way, all souvenirs can be purchased in the same Zeus, the choice of rates and prices are adequate. In two days we spent 55 euros on gasoline. We drove near the bay of Balos (not by ship, there is a normal road up the mountain, do not believe the dude from the car rental), Chania, Rethymno, the cave of Miladoni, the palace of Knossos, Heraklion. in four days you can really travel around everything interesting in Crete, but the economic benefits are only for the travels of four!
