Good day!
I worked at the Creta star Hotel for 1 month as a waitress and the other 2 months as an animator!
Those were unforgettable days!
having 1 day off a week, I can say I traveled around the whole island.
Since they write comments about the hotel here, I'll start with the location.
1. Location in Scaletta village about 14 km from Rethymnon. by taxi about 8-11 euros one way, but every 30 minutes there is a bus - a ticket for which you can take in the store (it’s better to take it right there and back) for 1.5 euros.
and go to the White church stop and you will find yourself right at the gates of the Old Town where there are many shops. the main street there is Arcadio Street. the most valuable thing we found there is the JLo store =)
For young people, of course, it will be boring, although on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays - animation holds a disco in the hotel until 2 am.

2. There are literally a couple of steps from the hotel to the sea. there are no locals on the beach, only vacationers of the CRETA STAR & Royal Hotel. there is also a CORALY hotel nearby, you can use the Internet if you have a laptop and have WI-FI (only so that the owner does not notice - he can turn it off - the Internet), although why, if in KRETA STAR in the lobby you can also sit quietly and use the Internet )))
3. The beach is sandy, although the entrance is not very good - there are plates there... but after walking along the beach to the left (closer to KORALI) . . there is a beautiful entrance - sand) small fish swim - you can swim with a mask - I caught a small little fish - and released it
And if you ride a bike or a taxi in the direction of Heraklion, literally 3 km - there is, as we called it Cave Beach (Cave Beach), something like a lagoon, a small pebble beach - but there you can catch gorgeous waves, jump off a cliff or swim into a cave )
The best beaches are Gramvousa in the northwest, Elafonisi 0 in the southwest, Vai in the northeast and in the south of Plakias - in good weather you can see the coast of Africa, at this point the river flows into the Libyan sea and you can take a catamaran and swim inland, and palm trees grow along the banks)
4. Excursions can be purchased across the road to the Voyage tour, a Russian-speaking guy works there - Roma (if you say that Christina from Krasnoyarsk advised and say HELLO.
and also on the beach to the right of the hotel you can ride a boat along the coast, a cute uncle will show the unimaginable beauty of the cave)))
If you are going to go to Knossos, it is better to do it yourself. if you rent a car, it’s easier, but if not, then you go to Heraklion and there you can ask if buses or taxis go there. entrance costs 8-11 euros without a guide. and you are not limited in time as much as you want and walk there)
5. Animation.
At the time when I was working, the animation consisted of an Italian, well, we are 2 Russian girls.
Many guests returned precisely because of the animation.
every day Show - programs. during the day, standard activities - gymnastics, ping - pong, water pollo, water volleyball, beach volleyball, Bocha u003d), football, archery, darts, on certain days Latin lessons - Limbo, bachachi. There is a mini club and a mini disco.
Amphitheater - where the show is held.
tennis court - extra charge fee.

6. Diverse food - system - all inclusive. on certain days barbecues on the veranda, and an a la carte Italian restaurant! Drink for extra fee. If you have a birthday - warn at the reception and you will be congratulated in the restaurant at dinner with Champagne or Cake !! ! with thunderous applause)
The Greeks themselves, who work there, say that the service has decreased a little since the Romanians mainly work there, but still it would not be in vain that the Europeans would return there))
If you are there, say hello to Manolis - the metro hotel in the restaurant, Kharitos - the Senior waiter, Ikram - makes the best pizza, and Babbis - the bartender works when the disco))
