Hello everyone. Before flying to the Creta Residense 3 * hotel, I did not find a single fresh review, so after visiting it I decided to write. I went with my wife, compared it with previous hotels in Turkey, Egypt, Cyprus, there is one "but": there were hotels not lower than 4 *.
In general, we were there from 06/01/19 to 06/08/19, meals - all inclusive, arrived at about 20.00, met us normally, settled in, fed dinner.
Upon arrival, payment of some kind of tax fee of 1.5 € per day.
Beach towel 1 € per day (optional, you can bring your own).
Safe at the reception 1 € per day. WiFi is free, it catches normally throughout the territory. Restaurant opening hours: 8-10.13-14.17-21, bar until 22.00. I would like, as in previous hotels, at least until 23.
Menu:
in the morning - scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs, salad, pastries, cheese, sausage, cereal;
lunch - a couple of types of meat, sausages, stewed cabbage, pasta, potatoes, rice, lasagna (not all at once, but intermittently, usually 6 hot dishes and about the same number of cold appetizers), salads;
dinner - about the same as for lunch, sometimes + soup (for some reason in the evening, not at lunch);
beer, wine, vodka local at lunchtime and in the evening. Here I immediately want to write (I don’t drink alcohol at lunch), when in the evening you go for a beer for the third time (0.33), then the bartender somehow pours it (there is an expression on his face - as much as you can already... ).
When we went on an excursion early in the morning, they gave a dry ration in a bag (you need to warn in advance in the evening), but when we left the hotel also early in the morning, they didn’t give anything, they said "you can drink coffee with a cupcake on the spot. " Because we were counting on dry rations and there was no time to drink coffee, I asked to take a cupcake with me, they didn’t give it, we were upset.
Interior:
rooms about 12 m2, bathroom with toilet, balcony with a table and two chairs, a small refrigerator, air conditioning, TV with regular periodic freeze programs, hair dryer (better to take your own). There is no iron in the room (I had my own, so I did not ask at the reception).
The room was cleaned every day, no complaints.
Exterior:
a neat three-story building with about 50 rooms, a small restaurant - about 20 tables inside and about 10 outside, a small pool about 10? there are 4-5 meters of pebbles in the sea, there are no chaise lounges and an umbrella on the beach, but there is a discount for nearby hotels: two chaise lounges under an umbrella 5 € per day, this is cheap for Crete, walked along the coast a little further, there 6 € one sun lounger. The nearest cafes in the village are 5 minutes away. It takes 15 minutes to get to the city of Rethymno by bus, the cost is 1.3 € per person. Around the mountain, the view is beautiful, but at the entrance to the hotel, on the contrary - a wasteland with dry grass.
In general, the hotel has 3 stars and the rating is also 3, there are pluses, but there are also minuses: service in the bar and a bad attitude when leaving (i. e. since you are already leaving, then they are no longer interested in you....).
By the way, just for information (the hotel has nothing to do with it), the transfer landed on the road without approaching the hotel 500 meters, a very narrow road, parked cars interfere. And yet, we did not find any nightclubs and cafes with loud music and dancing in the village, only light, quiet Greek music. There is a supermarket not bad in 10 minutes, for comparison: beer 0.5 liters. in a cafe 3.5 €, in the market the same 1.5 €. Water is not expensive: 0.3 € - 1.5 l. , 1.1 € - 5 l.
