This Hotel is already 4*. Rested on the May holidays, two families. We got the worst rooms (under the tennis court) in the entire hotel, but it is not customary to offer money from them, but they did not refuse. We have seen worse rooms, but close to the restaurant.
The hotel itself is located on a small hill, walking up the stairs is sometimes tiring. Many different sculptures stuck indiscriminately, where necessary and not necessary, but the smell of flowering roses and pelargoniums overshadowed all the shortcomings.
The food made me happy. Breakfast - usual, as in all of Europe, no frills. You can drink coffee, teas to choose from. Eggs - only boiled (there was mistletoe twice), cheese, sausage. Cereal, milk, honey. But lunches and dinners made me happy. Meat - veal and lamb - just perfectly cooked both fried and stewed. There was also fish, but I didn't like it. Salads, herbs, sauces - perfectly cooked. The buffet is not very rich, but children and people on a diet and large men had something to offer. There was also dessert. Alcohol is served from 10.00 to 22.00. Wine, beer, brandy and ouzo - you can drink (and get drunk).

Beach. Go down a small slope - 200 meters. Shop on the way (cheapest in the village). They took: wine - 2.45 - 2.65 euros a liter, strawberries - 2.50 kg (in Kyiv at that time it cost 5.00 euros per kg), disposable glasses - 1.00 euros 50 pieces. Apples, pears, watermelons or stronger alcohol are also possible, the prices are moderate. Sun loungers on the beach - 5 euros. We took towels with us and sunbathed on the sand, deciding to spend the saved money on wine. The water is clear, the beach is clean. Lots of cafes for all tastes.
Cars for rent. The price depends on the power of the motor and the number of days for which you take the car. You can not bother and take a car at the hotel - the same money (verified). Example: Citroen, engine - 1.0, five days - 120 euros; engine 1.4, one day - 45 euros.
On the last day, we decided to celebrate our departure at the Gargona cafe, read the reviews and went. But we did not read carefully, but in vain. Warning - take one dish for two, because their portions are not even for miners, but for a blacksmith and a miner. If the soup is 2.00 liters, the same plate with salad and snails, the main dish was brought in oval plates (I put it in the same duck for Christmas). A serving of lamb consists of 8 pieces the size of a palm, french fries - at least 500 gr, vegetables, lemon. The appetizer was also brought in dinner plates and the size was huge. When you look at the menu, be aware that the scale is not sustained. After dinner (drunk and happy) they found in the room a stone of water, soaked bags with collected things and a leaking toilet bowl. Departure was at five in the morning. The hotel administration - Miro, aka Miron, shrugged and said - it happens. I had to clean everything ourselves, but this unfortunate fact did not overshadow the pleasure of the rest. Conclusion - I want to return to Crete.
