Хорошее место для семейного отдыха с детьми Good place for families with kids

General impression. The hotel is perfect for families with small children. In general, the hotel is good, everything is at a decent level. We were very pleased with our stay! Disadvantage: when compared with hotels in other countries, the price for the same (or similar) quality is higher. When we talked to other Russian tourists, some said that they expected more for the money they paid. But this is probably not a problem of a particular hotel, but of Greece in general, as well as the pricing of our travel agencies...
Advantages:
Territory. Large landscaped area with beautiful trees and flowers, several pools, beautiful sea views. It is quite difficult to get an impression of the territory from photographs: the hotel stands on a hill, and it is impossible to photograph the entire territory. In general, it is pleasant to walk, you can take a walk in the evening (everything is beautifully lit), beautiful views open up from different points. Birds sing, in the mornings lambs graze on the territory adjacent to the hotel, the children really like it. From the point of view of nature - everything is fine.

Bathing. The sea is wonderful - clean, calm, warm. The hotel has its own sandy beach, but small, there are sun beds very tight, and a lot of people. At the entrance to the sea, where it is shallow, of course, there are many children, and adults can sail away and have a great swim. There is also a platform with sun loungers and umbrellas, which is located on the terrace about 50 meters from the entrance to the sea. We always sunbathed there, few people, quiet and calm. This terrace offers a very beautiful view of the sea, you can safely lie down and enjoy nature. On the western side there is a small bay where you can also swim, but there are stones, so almost no one swam in this place. But it's nice to walk around.
Nutrition. There is a lot of food, it is quite varied and, in general, tasty. Well presented Greek cuisine, excellent children's menu, a large selection of dishes for vegetarians. The disadvantage is highly diluted juices. For all inclusive the choice is good.
Activities for children. For small children, the program is good - there is a playground, swimming pools, games, children's discos, a party with clowns, etc. But teenagers are bored, there is practically nothing for them (it was announced that there is a teens-club, but we did not find any events).
Now for the disadvantages:

Rooms. I would like to talk about the rooms separately, since the description of the hotel in the travel agency catalog and on the website does not quite correspond to reality. What is called a bungalow is not a bungalow at all, that is, not detached houses in the garden for 2-8 rooms (as, for example, in Vietnam or the Dominican Republic). In this hotel, "bungalows" for some reason are called ordinary buildings of 2-3 floors. These multi-story buildings stretch throughout the territory, they are built in the form of a village and are quite dense. We took a garden view room, and at first we were settled in room 605, where there was no garden at all, from the balcony there was a view of the wall of the neighboring building! After we went to the reception to swear, we were moved to a normal garden view room, there really was a nice view and a garden, you could even see the sea. The room itself was quite decent, the air conditioning worked well. It should be noted that the buildings are built with high density, so about 15% of the rooms have a bad view from the "garden view": they go straight to the path that everyone walks past, have a view of the walls, etc. We felt very sorry for those people who took the suites. The territory of the hotel is divided into two parts: below (closer to the sea) - the main territory, and above (across the road) - suites, children's pool with mini-slides, tennis courts. This small area with suites is quite remote from the sea and is located between 3 major roads that cars drive on (one of the roads is a highway that includes buses and trucks). It's pretty noisy in there. Moreover, several rooms have a “beautiful” view of the car rental office and the unfinished house. In front of the hotel building there is a garden about two meters wide, then a low fence, then the roadway immediately begins! It was necessary to come up with the idea of ​ ​ ​ ​ making suites in such a place...
Sports and fitness. Pretty weak. The free gym is small, there are 2 tracks, 1 exercise bike, 6 weight machines and dumbbells. The gym has poor air conditioning, it is very hot, you can work out only early in the morning. The spa center has a hot tub with sea water, costs 8 euros per day. During our stay, we hardly saw people there. From group classes - only aerobics and volleyball. You can do exercises or yoga on your own in the morning, for this there is a large grassy lawn with palm trees and a beautiful view of the sea.
