Сам отель замечательный, но до хорошего пляжа придется пройтись The hotel itself is great, but you have to walk to a good beach

We rested at the hotel in June, with a young man. We arrived late in the evening, settled quickly, asking me to fill out a questionnaire and giving me a beautiful rose - a nice little thing. There are several people at the reception desk, there is always Russian-speaking staff, which is very convenient.
We were given a room on the first floor. A delicious cake and champagne awaited us at the table. But! About the room separately : ) I liked the room itself: quite spacious, nice, good for a couple. The bathroom has a shower (just part of the bathroom is closed with a curtain), the bathroom is also large, with all the necessary cosmetics and a hairdryer, sliding doors, without a lock, just a romantic, what's there. The view from the room to a beautiful garden with palm trees, birds singing loudly in the morning) which definitely gives the room a zest, BUT! The same first floor was the reason for us to change the room. The first and most unpleasant thing for me was the presence of a too open balcony. It's just a very small step - and you're on the street. Exactly the same way back. In general, come in - whoever you want. It is clear that outside tourists are unlikely to do this, but sleeping with open windows (which are also panoramic, like sliding doors) was uncomfortable. With the window open, anyone can enter the room from the street. Plus, it's just uncomfortable when tourists and gardeners walk around the garden and see everything that happens in your room. For example, in order to comfortably change clothes, I had to either run to the bathroom or draw the curtains and create a cellar effect in the room)) The second problem of the room, or rather, all the same first floor, is insects! Climbing into the room was not difficult for either people or insects, which, in general, is logical. Ants, small spiders, etc. , etc. - all this crawled on our floor like at home : ) But all these problems ended for us the very next morning, when we asked to change our room to something then higher. It didn't pose a problem. Without further questions, and even, as it seemed to me, the hotel staff, somewhat concerned about our dissatisfaction, quickly found us a free room on the second floor. This room was designed for a family with a child, with a bed and a sofa. It seemed to me that the number is a little smaller than the first. The bathroom instead of a shower cabin was already with a bathtub and was locked, and was also smaller. To be honest, I was even a little sorry to leave our first room with its exotic, but still the floor played a role. From the second floor, the sea was already visible, and the palm trees, although not so close, but also looked very good from the balcony. The downside of the room was poor wi-fi. He only caught on the balcony, at a certain angle of the tablet and the correct arrangement of the stars in the sky. In order to communicate with relatives in the evening, I had to splash with anti-mosquito spray. But in general, it was possible to use wi-fi in the hotel lobby, so I can’t say that this greatly spoiled our impression.
Walking around the hotel in the morning, we immediately appreciated its beauty: the garden is really big and beautiful: many palm trees, flowers, different alleys. The hotel is located in a small separation from other settlements, on a rocky shore, overlooking the sea from above - very beautiful! On the territory there is a small outdoor sports ground with horizontal bars and bars, those who wish not to turn into jelly during their vacation will have such an opportunity) But there is, in my opinion, a rather significant drawback - there is no normal beach near the hotel. A small bay, surrounded on all sides by artificially poured cobblestones - not quite what I, frankly, expected. You lie on a deck chair on a concrete slab and look at the same slabs and stones opposite. The sea is almost invisible. In short, there is no beach from the word. Immediately we looked after a good little beach a little further, with a normal sea and sand, quite cozy. From the height of the territory of the hotel it will be visible, so it will not be difficult to find it. There is a swimming pool on the territory of the hotel, at first glance it’s pretty good, but we never went to it, we like to splash in the sea) for those who plan to rent a car, there will be no problems with the beach, you can go anywhere. Nice beaches close to Rethymnon. In general, for two weeks of rest, we almost never repeated ourselves with the beach.

The cuisine of the hotel is beyond praise, the variety rolls over, I think everyone will find something for themselves there. I won’t even paint for a long time, otherwise drooling will flow) I can only say that the kitchen will not disappoint you.
Near the hotel there is a car rental with parking. The staff will not only help you choose a car, but also write down interesting routes on the map. It helped us a lot, because as usual we were not very well prepared for the trip)
In general, we were satisfied with the rest, without hesitation we would return to this hotel again. We definitely recommend the hotel, especially to those who plan to visit Crete by car.
