Despite the very beginning of the season, the hotel was packed to capacity. Apparently, because half of the hotels in the area had not yet opened by the summer. The location of the hotel is excellent: it stands right on the beach, around all sorts of taverns and cafes, shops and rental offices. Unfortunately, there is no beach, you can sit on your towel for free or pay for a sunbed and an umbrella.

Despite the very beginning of the season, the hotel was packed to capacity. Apparently, because half of the hotels in the area had not yet opened by the summer. The location of the hotel is excellent: it stands right on the beach, around all sorts of taverns and cafes, shops and rental offices. Unfortunately, there is no beach, you can sit on your towel for free or pay for a sunbed and an umbrella. The sun was already brutal at the end of May, so an umbrella is strongly recommended. Again, due to the very beginning of the season, the tax collectors for sun loungers reached us only once out of four days. Two sun loungers and an umbrella - 8 euros. The beach is excellent, the water is incredibly clear, I am very glad that I chose Bali. After lunch we went to Heraklion (45 minutes by bus) and Rethymno (30 minutes).
The hotel rooms are spacious and well equipped. The bathroom needs additional shelves and hooks, there was nowhere to put your bath accessories and cosmetics. Plus, there is no rim in the shower. Since it does not close completely, water leaked. Cleaning usually happened after dinner, cleaned cleanly, but for some reason hotel shampoos and gels were not replenished.
There are two pools with sun loungers on the territory, but there was no desire to swim in the pool, the sea is somehow more pleasant. Breakfast is good, but there was no natural coffee, brought only for an additional fee. And you had to wear a mask and gloves while you take food from the buffet (they gave you at the entrance).
The staff at the hotel is strange - at the reception it is either empty, or completely left people are sitting. The maids do the cleaning of the rooms in their own way, only they understand. At breakfast, everyone is also too relaxed. The rest of the hotel is good, but I would not strongly recommend it.

The hotel is good. The room is simply huge! (I traveled alone). Sliding door to balcony. View to a pool. The mountain view is amazing! The room has a tile for two burners, a refrigerator, a TV, all the necessary utensils, a kettle. Everything is very cool! Sea at the doorstep. The beaches are great! (There are several of them).

The room has a tile for two burners, a refrigerator, a TV, all the necessary utensils, a kettle. Everything is very cool! Sea at the doorstep. The beaches are great! (There are several of them). Had a great rest. Didn't take food. She cooked breakfast for herself, and dined and dined in taverns. There are plenty of them and they are delicious everywhere.
As for the staff, you will not see him there. Except a maid. (Cleaned by the way very well).
I was a little annoyed by the lack of security. Perhaps because I was alone. On the second day of my arrival, at 6 am, there was a knock on my room. I got used to the fact that wherever I rested, it was safe everywhere. Opened immediately. Some drunken young Greek in the trash tried to explain to me in slurred English that I had problems with water in my room. My confrontation came to nothing. He pushed me away with his paw, entered the dignity. knot and fell next to the toilet, sort of like he was going to fix it. I rushed to the reception, but of course there was no one there. (There is never anyone there). From there I heard the young man plaintively yelling: "Madame, madam. "
As I understood from his drunken babble, he is a hotel employee. Apparently there was an application for problems with plumbing, and he mixed up the number. But I survived a few unpleasant moments. I waited for them to apologize, in vain.
Then one night a drunken team (4 people) wandered to the pool. Just passed by and walked in. Began to kick sunbeds into the water.
Why am I telling this for so long? Because I won't go there again. I love security. So that when I sleep in the room, I know for sure that there is someone to look after here.
And the rest - everything is fine.

Hello. Rest him Bali for the second time. The first time was in Troulis. Everything is chic, no questions about accommodation or rooms. Breakfasts are in the middle now, but this is not a problem - there is a kitchen and a lot of taverns. In 2013, Nostos was chosen because of its proximity to the sea. We are 4 people, adult children.

Hello. Rest him Bali for the second time. The first time was in Troulis. Everything is chic, no questions about accommodation or rooms. Breakfasts are in the middle now, but this is not a problem - there is a kitchen and a lot of taverns.
In 2013, Nostos was chosen because of its proximity to the sea. We are 4 people, adult children. We wanted apartments, but they were not available. The operator offered us a studio - according to the description, a room with a sliding door to divide the room into two parts.
In fact, it turned out that there were no doors and never were. The studio is designed for 3 people. 3 chairs on the balcony, 3 cups, etc. On the balcony in four it is crowded, there is no place at the table. That is, in our case, we would simply not consider this hotel as an option.
Further: wifi in the room and on the balcony does not catch. The TV broke on the 3rd day. The next day, when installing the key with sparks, the stove burned out... And the electricity went out. Refrigerator - understandably dripped. They only fixed it in the evening.
Rooms are cleaned every day, towels are changed every 3 days.
In my opinion, the hotel only deserves that they rest in 202 and 203. Only they have a sea view (you can hear the surf). But again - no more than 3 people.

There really is usually no one at the reception - everything is in the bar, I don’t know how night tourists are accommodated. We arrived in the afternoon, the owner was waiting at the reception (he and the hostess understand a little Russian), after 3 minutes they settled. Room (110) got in a new building overlooking the pool.

There really is usually no one at the reception - everything is in the bar, I don’t know how night tourists are accommodated. We arrived in the afternoon, the owner was waiting at the reception (he and the hostess understand a little Russian), after 3 minutes they settled. Room (110) got in a new building overlooking the pool. Rooms on the 2nd floor with a sea view. Near each of the buildings there is a swimming pool with a paddling pool. The hotel is located almost on the beach, the beach is sandy, without stones. The beach is the best in Bali. There are many taverns along the beach, I recommend trying grilled seafood - 30 euros, we didn’t eat together, the rest was enough for dinner. We did not take food at the hotel - the hotel does not have its own kitchen - they bring it. The room has 1 double bed and 1 single bed, 3 bedside tables, a large dressing table, a refrigerator with a large freezer, TV (80cm), a huge wardrobe, a hairdryer, a kettle, a kitchenette with an extractor hood and a minimum of dishes - we sometimes cooked. The new building is only a year old - everything is new and freshly renovated, but the old one is no worse. Cleaning daily and the first hotel I saw - daily (! ) mopping, including the balcony! Change of linen and towels - every 3 days. Tipping was not left, but this did not worsen the cleaning. Soap, shampoo is not given! To the bus stop 15 minutes on foot. 2 times a day there is a fruit machine.

if you arrive early in the morning or at night, get ready to spend the night at the reception desks, you won’t find anyone at the hotel, there is a telephone at the reception to contact the owner, but it’s better not to call, you will run into rudeness. check-in at the hotel from 12 o'clock, but do not think that from that moment you will be given a room, in the understanding of the hotel, from this time cleaning begins in the rooms.

In my case, the cleaning lasted 2 hours, that is, the check-in took place at 2 pm, you probably count on clean dishes, you are mistaken, go to the neighboring store for fairies right away, everything needs to be washed. In the room 1 pan, 1 frying pan and 1 Turk will be enough for you. If you are unlucky and the sky is covered with clouds, there will be no hot water in the room, the owner saves on Russian tourists and does not turn on the electricity, and if you suddenly complain to the host travel agency, wait for the owner to visit, think with apologies, you made a mistake again, I was offered to change the hotel, but no hot water. Another nuance in the hotel there are 2 pools, do not think about swimming in them in the evenings, the fact is that in the evenings the hotel employees pour bleach there, and the time for falling asleep bleach is not defined, there are no warnings, as follows, one of the hotel employees passing by the pool pours a bunch of chlorine and goes further. There will be no soap, gel, shampoos in the bathroom. In fact, it’s a pity I was in this hotel 2 years ago and didn’t expect such a regression, apparently Russian tourists are not very demanding and don’t know how to defend their rights, as a result, the owners have a good income with a boorish attitude towards guests

Bali in Crete is the noisiest place at night. If until 2 am the music from the roof of the club hotel does not yell, then a local singer howls folk music from the tavern next to the microphone, if it doesn’t, then a freshly built open-air nightclub pumps its music. In the best case, everything falls silent at 2 am.

In the best case, everything falls silent at 2 am. Then everyone starts to creep out loudly from the above places. But the most interesting thing is that it seems that in the morning you can sleep longer, but it wasn’t there! The local people need to start work: deliver vegetables and fruits, loudly announcing this, pump the sewer, wash the territory. If rest and sleep is NOT in your plans, you are here!

The hotel justifies its price. Despite the tiddly territory - there is green and cozy. The rooms are bright and spacious, whether on the first floor or the second. The hotel will be expanded. Construction is underway, but it does not interfere. I think if completed - the price will be an order of magnitude higher.

The beach is very close, literally, in the truest sense. We really wanted to go to Bali Star (who doesn’t want to go there? ), but it didn’t work out, but we didn’t regret it.
The bay with Nostos is the first and largest of all four in Bali. There are many cafes, but, I don’t know, is it always so empty there or only in September? On Sundays, bikers gather in cafes near the beach, I think they didn’t choose this spacious bay for nothing.
The beach is spacious, there are enough sunbeds, the contingent of vacationers is different. On the hill there is some kind of, it seems, 4-star, so the Germans and the French all looked into our hotel.
We took the tour without food at all, for several reasons: a) the breakfast reviews are terrible, the reviews of vacationers with us confirm this, b) we planned dinner not within the hotel, so as not to become attached to the area, we traveled a lot. Travel details below.
We dined and dined in taverns (I recommend Gorgon in the neighborhood - very tasty, cheap and friendly host; Karavanastazi - in the fourth bay, behind the port, the road is not close, but it’s damn comfortable there, the most delicious white wine in Crete, home cooking and, again, a friendly host ). An average dinner with wine cost an average of 16 euros for two.
By the way, the rooms have electric stoves - so we cooked to the fullest, there are many supermarkets in the neighborhood.
It is more profitable to take water in a large package - 6 bottles of 1.5 liters each cost 1.45 euros.
I recommend taking only tea and coffee with you, where they leave much to be desired, as well as packaged juices. We also ran for (breakfast) honey and yogurt to the third bay (behind Bali Star, behind the church), there we also took homemade red wine in plastic bottles and cheese, if you go further - then there is a good supermarket, with olive products and nuts, the most big choice. If you go even further along the same road, almost to the port - there is also a shop there - good honey and homemade white wine, cheese, a friendly owner.
In the city of tyry it is cheaper - but check the language of the tour. We paid 150 euros per person for Santorini. and then they saw 70 euros each, regretted it a little. There, all excursions are two times cheaper than the guide.
On the first day, we took Gramvousa and Santorini from the guide, went to Arkadi on our own (there is a bus stop not far from the hotel, you can get to Rethymno, and then transfer to the bus to Arkadi / Preveli or somewhere else).
Then we found a VIP guide (type "Crete" in classmates), wonderful excursions by car along two routes (but there are more routes): "Golden Step" Monastery - Elafonissi Beach - Chania - Lake Kournas; Knossos - aquarium - Gortyna - Matala beach - Spili - night Rethymno.
They were satisfied.

Pretty good hotel for a family vacation. The rooms are clean, cleaned daily, linen changed every 3 days. The staff is friendly, but speaks English and is just starting to learn Russian, so without knowing a minimum of English, you will have to explain yourself with gestures. To the sea 30 meters, the beach is clean, sandy.
