The hotel was chosen at an affordable price and the advice of his agent, tied to a place near Rethymno. This was our 3rd trip to Crete. We liked the village of Adelina Campus even on the 1st visit. Excellent sea and beach, there are a lot of different shops nearby, a ceramics gallery nearby and also nearby, 15 minutes by bus, Rethymno, a Venetian-built town, very cozy.

The hotel was chosen at an affordable price and the advice of his agent, tied to a place near Rethymno. This was our 3rd trip to Crete. We liked the village of Adelina Campus even on the 1st visit. Excellent sea and beach, there are a lot of different shops nearby, a ceramics gallery nearby and also nearby, 15 minutes by bus, Rethymno, a Venetian-built town, very cozy. Near our hotel, 1.5 minutes walk, a store in which everything except meat and cakes . Meat 5-7 min, cake near the bus stop))) Bus stop-3 min. In the hotel itself, rooms that have everything for relaxation, we only had breakfast, but lunch and dinner in the studio room were prepared by me for half an hour from fresh products that my husband brought from the store (remember 1.5 minutes) But if you really don’t want to get involved with a kitchen, you can eat for two with wine for 20-25 EURO. There is also a feature: a special offer. Please note that each restaurant on the billboard near the entrance exposes a set lunch or dinner with a special price. (Used in Chania in the port - a huge mix of fish and Greek salad, 200g of rakia and 2 ice creams - 16 EURO) We were fed breakfast in the basement, very clean and neat, but it is difficult to call it a restaurant. The food is all fresh and tasty, but like any European breakfast, the assortment is not particularly different. The hotel administrator is Ukrainian Maria, who will tell you everything about the location in the area.
I would especially like to note about the most beautiful places that we surveyed. First: the Cretan evening in Anopolis, somehow I didn’t really want to, and then I didn’t even need dinner, I was so struck by the color of the dance and the pros performing it. This action is the history of Crete, from the thread of Ariadne to the Olympic Games. I highly advise.
Second: Elafonisi is a pink beach, a very beautiful sea.
Third: Balos-white beach.
Fourth: Chania and Rethymno.
Fifth: Agios Nikolaos.
We did not take a car, we went by bus. If you have a map, you can plan everything.
Elafonisi and Balos were taken from a Greek tour operator (cheaper).
The weather is wonderful, 1-2 days fell on the siroka (southern hurricane wind), from which there is nothing to breathe and a lot of sand.
I am not a lover of luxury, but a lover of nature. In this sense, Crete gives you it to the fullest (sea, beaches, sun, delicious food, almost not poisoned with chemicals, delicious water, vegetation (even thorns), very comfortably planted flowers in pots , the brightness of all the colors of nature. I especially want to note Chania. The port and the streets nearby in the old town have a special charm and flavor.
Also in favor of the hotel: you feel at home thanks to Maria's attitude towards tourists. Before leaving, we bought face and foot cream (really cool), homemade olive oil for salads, and very tasty honey (believe me, I understand honey), honey is expensive, but you can try a little for yourself, we thought.
And perhaps the last thing: we came across nice people in Crete, both locals and tourists, not a single rogue, which gave us complete enjoyment of the island.
I wish everyone to get a lot of pleasure from the rest (the main thing is the right attitude and understanding of what you want)

Very good hotel, despite the solid 3 ***. Rested with children-8 years and 10 months. The hotel management went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful holiday! Steve (the owner) himself looked for food for the baby, provided a children's table, a crib, walkers, a potty, a stroller (! ). It was also very convenient that the hotel was located away from the road and cars.

It was also very convenient that the hotel was located away from the road and cars. Children run all over the territory and nothing threatens them. In 1 minute walk there is everything you need - a supermarket, a bus stop, car rental, excursions, the beach! And the price tag is quite reasonable.

The experience of the Bella Casita in Platanias is quite good. From the pros: -well located if you are going to travel around the island; -good breakfasts, everything is fresh (buffet + hot breakfast to order. Usually it is an omelette, potatoes with sausage, pancakes, stewed vegetables). Freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh yogurt from the farm are in the assortment.

The experience of the Bella Casita in Platanias is quite good.
From the pros:
-well located if you are going to travel around the island;
-good breakfasts, everything is fresh (buffet + hot breakfast to order. Usually it is an omelette, potatoes with sausage, pancakes, stewed vegetables). Freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh yogurt from the farm are in the assortment.
- friendly attitude of the staff, cleaning of the rooms is normal;
- there is Russian-speaking staff - Maria, who will patiently explain everything, tell you (for example: where and what to buy, in which restaurant they serve really fresh fish, how to get somewhere, etc. );
- the territory is quiet (the hotel is located not on the highway and on the side of it), green, the sound of the surf is heard in the rooms;
-the room has a kitchenette (two burners, a sink, a refrigerator, shelves, simple dishes and cutlery, a corkscrew, knives, forks). This is especially convenient if you came from the beach and made yourself a cup of coffee after a shower, or if you are tired after the tour and you are not drawn to the tavern, you just want to sit with a book on the balcony. And very close to a supermarket where you can buy everything you need;
There is a powerful hair dryer in the room, so you do not need to drag your own on a trip. The TV is also normal, there are a lot of programs, incl. Russian channels. Is there a safe in the room;
- private beach, clean sea, swimming pool.
About the sea separately:
the beach is loose sand, but at the edge of the surf, quite small stones are washed up. Such beaches are not uncommon in Crete.
And not everyone likes to walk on stones. But if you buy special slippers (5 EUR), then this is not a problem. Shallow about five to seven meters (everywhere in different ways) from the shore, then a rather sharp cliff. If you can swim, then this is not a problem, but if you want your little child to splash in the sea, and you will lie and watch him, then you most likely will not succeed. But for children there is a paddling pool next to the sea. It's definitely safe there.
Minuses:
- really not a very good bathroom in the rooms, the shower leaves much to be desired. But in general, it's clean, they clean the bathroom every day;
General summary: 3 * hotel with a plus, almost 4 *. I want to return to the hotel, the atmosphere there is somehow homely, warm. Yes, this hotel does not have pomp, exquisite luxury, but there are very good conditions for recreation and travel. All rooms have balconies where it is convenient to drink tea and dry swimwear.
Additional Tips:
1. There are two hotels on the territory: Bella Casita and Motakis village Trefon. The manager of the Bella Casita Hotel - Steve explains that the name was stolen from them (the hotel was previously called Motakis Village) and they had to change it. In general, the story is dark, either the hotel was really divided in two, or something else happened. The hotel Motakis Village Trefon, standing nearby, looks good, but for some reason there are few guests there. Rumor has it that they went bankrupt and the service to the guests is minimal. I had a scandal with Russian tourists, whom the tour operator settled in this hotel, but the tourists later realized that they had been deceived and demanded to be relocated to Bella Casita. So be vigilant.
2. There are mosquitoes on Crete. Buy a fumigator (5 EURO) in the nearest supermarket or bring your own.
3. Do not rush to buy excursions from a tour operator. Walk down the street of the village, find the tourist offices. They offer excursions, incl. in Russian. And these excursions are no worse than those of a tour operator, but cheaper by 40 percent. In general, ask more questions about this, at the reception they will tell you how to find agencies.
4. At the reception, you can additionally ask for a beach towel (so as not to drag your own).
5. It is not necessary to leave a tip for cleaning the room, this is everyone's business. I left (1-2 EUR), but not every day. In Greece, it is generally accepted to leave a tip (about 7-10 percent of the bill).
6. Around the pool (and it is located 100 meters from the sea) sun loungers are free of charge. On the beach, a sunbed will cost you 3 EURO. When it's stormy, it makes no sense to lie near the sea at all, but on the lawn next to the pool it's very good.
7. If you go to Rethymno, it is better to buy bus tickets in advance in the supermarket (1.2 EURO per person). The fact is that not all buses have cash desks and some drivers without tickets refuse to take passengers. Check the bus schedule at the reception. The interval of movement is 30-45 minutes.
Signal to the driver that you want to get off the bus in advance. Not 2 minutes before the exit, but at least 5 minutes and several times. I came across drivers who skipped my stop and said that I pressed the button too late, although this was not so.

Finally got around to writing my review. Rested with his wife and child (7.5 years) in July (from 15 to 29).

On the same street there is a supermarket where, among other things, you can buy bus tickets to Rethymno (1.20 euros one way).
The room is quite decent, the second room, combined with the kitchen.
Beach towels are issued once and free of charge, replacement - 1 euro. At the reception there is a computer with Internet for free, Wi-Fi is also free.
In general, the location of the hotel is very convenient. Too bad it wasn't possible to rent a car.
He came to the meeting with the guide, gave the number of the return flight and left. Although this could not have been done - they already have all the information. The obligatory meeting with the guide is a lure to sell excursions.
Near the beach there is a bar with its own territory, where umbrellas and sun loungers are free (on the beach itself for a fee, and they try to steal money for sunbeds even at 18 pm : -)) From the bar to the sea - 50 m and 100 m to the hotel in the opposite direction. The sea was often slightly stormy (2-3-4 balls, judging by the weather site), because. The bay is very wide and there are no breakwaters. Therefore, at this time, the sea near the coast is unclear. The beach is pebbly, but I rarely saw people in special shoes. The entrance to the sea quickly gains depth, which may not be convenient for everyone. And the sea is like a sea.
We had breakfast at the hotels - quite decent, among other things, a choice of scrambled eggs, baked vegetables, pancakes and something else. I took pancakes and poured them with chocolate (nutella). I dined with what I bought in the supermarket (watermelon or melon to choose from). For dinner we went mainly to Sky-Park, which has a lot of good reviews here. From myself I will add that Sky-Park has the best combination of price and quality. At first I planned that I would dine in different places (there are enough taverns), but after several visits to other taverns, I left this idea and went only to Sky-Park. Prices are approximately the same for everyone, portions are large everywhere, but Sky-Park is still larger and definitely tastier (IMHO, of course). Least liked in the Finikas tavern near the hotel. You can still go and Garden, which is located opposite the Sky-Park, is also not bad. In principle, it’s not bad in a tavern with a parrot, but the prices there are higher and the portions are smaller. In Rethymnon, prices are generally higher. Need to look for it.
The bus stop for Rethymno is located near the Sky-Park. At the entrance (and you need to enter through the front door), hand your ticket to the driver, he tears off half of it - like punched it.
The bus schedule is available at the reception, you can also look at the website of the carrier KTEL.
I started to explore Rethymnon from the fortress (it so happened that I passed a stop in the city center, and the next - the final - bus station). From there it is a 15 minute walk to the fortress. Opposite the fortress - the Archaeological Museum and the city center 10 minutes on foot. Arcadiou Street runs along the waterfront and is full of boutiques. From the Venetian city gates, Etnikis Antistaseos Street begins, on which there are many souvenir shops and expensive taverns. In the old harbor (aka Venetian) there are a concentration of fish taverns. And full of Russian-speaking barkers : -)
We went to Knossos with an excursion from the street agency Klados Travel (excursions are sold at many car rental points). It turned out cheaper. The guide was a Greek woman who spoke Russian well (as for a person who had never been in a Russian-speaking country). We were on the bus with half of the English-speaking passengers who had their own guide. Both guides in the bus gave information in turn, and in Knossos and Heraklion itself, each led his own group. We stayed in Knossos for about 2.5 hours - everyone walked around, told about everything. There are an incredible amount of people roaming around. I think that it is better to take a car and come yourself when there is no one there, or even better to go to other palaces of the Minoan era, where excursions are not taken (Zakros, Festus, Malia). And in Knossos just for show. We visited the exposition from the Archaeological Museum in Heraklion, which exhibits the famous frescoes from the Palace of Knossos (copies in the palace itself), the Phaistos disc and much more. The Archaeological Museum itself has been under renovation for three years.
Also from the street agency we went to the WaterCity water park. The agency also offers to other water parks Limnoupolis and Acquaplus.
You can ride the Yellow Train and Talos Express sightseeing trains - two different offices. With the Yellow Train you can ride to different villages in the mountains. We went to the monastery of Arkadi - we liked it. True, we spent only 1 hour in the monastery - not enough. The attendant speaks several languages, including Russian. There are only four excursions in Talos Express. I chose Lake Qurna. In fact, we travel the entire route by bus and only 3 km from the lake to Georgioupolis by train. The escort speaks several languages besides Russian. In Georgioupolis, the guide dragged everyone to some kind of tavern, after which he gave everyone coupons for free access to the beach (umbrellas, sun loungers, the beach is free, but there is nowhere to leave things - there is not enough space, and the sun loungers are in dense rows). The food is disgusting. In Georgioupolis, the beach is sandy, but small. Very shallow - you get tired of walking to the depths. Despite the fact that it was shallow - the water was cold (why would that be? ). In general, the tour is not very good, but I liked the lake - it's very beautiful.
You can also go to Chania and back for 15 euros from a street agency. Like a shopping tour: they brought you in the morning, they took you away in the evening, but no one runs after you - this is not Turkey : -) In the same way, you can go to Heraklion with a visit to Knossos, but without a guide.
Bought homemade honey and olive oil from Maria. Satisfied.
All said IMHO. Maybe I wrote all this for myself, so as not to forget : -)
Sorry for the many letters.

The hotel is worth its 3 stars. Small area surrounded by greenery. Located in the village of Platanias - 15 minutes from Rethymnon (by bus - 1.2 euros one way ticket, stop - a stone's throw from the hotel). The hotel has free wi-fi (it worked only at the main building - where the bar is), in this building itself there is a computer with free Internet access, in the room there is a free safe and air conditioning, a kitchen, a refrigerator.

In the direction of the sea - a swimming pool with free sunbeds, to the sea at a slow pace - three minutes. Pebbles and sand - just enough. The sea was stormy - then calmed down. The water is just great! But deep enough. Sunbeds on the beach are paid.
Breakfast is monotonous, but everything is edible and fresh. Cleaned so-so, but the linen was changed, towels - if thrown on the floor. There were no problems with mosquitoes and ants. The place is generally quiet and peaceful. A lot of resting families with children of different ages from different countries.
Maria - the administrator - speaks Russian, can stick with a "requirement" to buy honey and olive oil from her (it's expensive) - we didn't take it. Steven - the owner - only speaks English - always ready to help!
We went from Biblio Globus - very satisfied!! !
