They don't speak Russian, so without knowledge of English or German it will be difficult. You can’t hear the noise from the road at night, all the equipment in the room is in working condition, although not new, breakfasts are European-style monotonous (muesli-jams-toasts-eggs (I thought I’d cackle on the 5th day)), but you won’t go hungry, dinner worthy, only they don’t know how to cook fish at all. 4 chlorinated (but everything is disinfected) pools on the territory, although one of them was occupied around the clock by the ever-drunk German-Polish horde worse than any "tagil". WiFi in the room. From the animation in the evening: a magician in a paper top hat, a disco of the 70s with a tape recorder, melancholy Cretan tunes to the accompaniment of "minus one", and belly dances of blonde Slavs who have nothing to do with the East. I consider the location of the hotel a huge plus: Adelianos has everything you need: shops, taverns, car rental offices, tour companies - everything is relatively inexpensive, the availability of transport (a bus to the city of Rethymnon stops opposite the hotel every half an hour), To Rethymnon (I managed to fall in love with this beautiful, original town) 6 km. To the beach 5 min. vegetable gardens, but in front of the hotel it’s bad to swim - stone slabs, so it’s better to go 200-300 m to the left and opposite Aquilla to choose from: sand, small pebbles. The beaches, as elsewhere in Crete, are municipal, if you come with your mat and don’t want to take sunbeds (6-8 euros - 2 sunbeds + umbrella), no one will mind, even if you sunbathe at a super star hotel. To see Crete in all its glory, you need to take a car 100% (Nissan Micra 1 year -35 euros / day. It was quite suitable both in the mountains with serpentine and on the highway - they took it from Yana - they were satisfied) - do not visit Balos Bay and Elafonisi I consider it a crime. Will we return to this hotel? I totally admit it. Do not hesitate to recommend to friends. Clean, green, cleaned regularly, the furniture is a little old, but does not fall apart, the refrigerator in the room is small, but cools, the air conditioner worked perfectly, nice and comfortable for evening and night gatherings with his beloved wife, there is a balcony with wine, hotel workers with their own rules to your soul they don't climb, the service is unobtrusive. In general, a hotel in Crete is needed only for spending the night and having breakfast, because everything is the best in mountain villages and small towns, on beaches and in mountain valleys, in caves with mythological heroes and in olive, lemon, orange groves. Have a good rest.
