Отдых в Орионе Vacation in Orion

Rested company from 10 to 17 July at the hotel. We went from the company Azbuka Tourism. The hotel looks like a 3k at first, but it's a 4k. Upon arrival, we first asked ourselves a question. Is it 4k? But then it began to dissipate a little, and it turns out that this is a modest cozy 4k for their little money in the season itself. The hotel is really small but the rooms are fresh and small too. It looks like they were recently refurbished. They are removed every day. If you leave 1 euro for a tip, then everything will be folded for you and the bags will be arranged if you did not arrange them after arrival. In the rooms, everything is new, air conditioners work fine, albeit from a cheap series. That is, they do not know how to regulate the air temperature, but only distinguish the temperature in the room and, depending on this, work for a certain time, so be careful with them so as not to get sick. I recommend removing the key from the key fob and leaving it turned on at the minimum temperature so that the room cools. And turn it off when you arrive. In terms of reception, only English speakers. By the way, at the time of my arrival, it was my birthday and they called from the reception to the room, congratulated me and said to take the cake at dinner, where they would congratulate me. All this, of course, in English. A trifle, but nice. So it was, at dinner they brought a cake where it was written Happy Birthday. It was a pleasure! There is also free Wi-Fi, which catches throughout the hotel, even in the rooms. The food at the hotel does not differ much in variety, but the Greeks know how to cook deliciously. And everyone will not remain hungry, because it is insipid and you don’t feel like eating at all, unlike Turkish 4 and Egyptian ones. This is the advantage of Greece, that even in a not very large hotel, they always cook delicious food and there will always be fresh food. By the way, during the day, pizza is also prepared, which you can take from the bar. Also a big plus for this hotel, which proves its stardom. Everything is always there, sometimes there are varieties of meat and different cooking methods, once they even gave mussels. There are always fruits, peaches, apples, watermelons, melons in the summer season. Minus the hotel that the juice is UPI. But in the Bar there is tomato juice from packs. The pool is more or less clean and not as much chlorine as they say. I saw many hotels where you walk by and smell of chlorine from 5 meters away. There is no such thing in this, when you swim there is no such smell. There are enough sun loungers for everyone, there were no problems in them. You don’t have to borrow in the morning, get up at 7 in the morning and put down a towel. We always came at 11 and 13 o'clock, after the sea, there were always places. Here is the beach, the weakest link in this hotel, but in terms of beaches... in Crete almost everyone is like that. It takes about 5 minutes to walk to it. You will be able to pass through Rithymno Beach only if you remove your bracelets, otherwise the guards will not let you in. As mentioned in other reviews, we tried to storm more than once... We have to go around the hotel. If you go around it on the right, then even a beach towel is everywhere 7.5 euros, there 4.5 euros. I recommend buying water for the beach. It costs 30 cents 1.5 liters. Sunbeds and umbrellas are paid, so it's easier to buy an umbrella in the same store for a couple of euros and lie on a towel. Pebble entry into the sea... The beach itself is sandy. It is still better to buy slippers for swimming and go into them. Because the bottom is still not pebbles... but something in the form of large slabs and it is not clear whether they are of natural origin or artificial. And the most important advantage of this hotel is the bar. There is a bartender Valeria, she is Russian. But she is only there in the evenings, during the day Baremin Maria and Alex, in the evening, too, Alex. They do not understand Russian, so knowledge of the minimum English skills is necessary. The bar is generally a separate conversation, because this hotel can be called 4th, only because of the drinks in it, which is rare for cheap small hotels. The bar has martinis, belis, Smironov vodka, Tequila, Whiskey, bocardi. All English production, the range of cocktails is simply unique. Everyone will find to their taste, the one they like. So if you want to go on an all-inclusive vacation, but pay attention to this VERY big plus! Because in other hotels of this level. So I strongly advise young people. The bar is open until 0.00 hours. So after that you can go to Rithymno, though only by taxi already. Because the buses don't run at this time. If you go to Rithymno by bus, then go about 5 km. On the bus, it will cost 1.2 euros per person, but it's long and there are a lot of people. Or if you are 4ro, then the best thing is to take a taxi. It costs 10 euros. So it turns out 4.8 euros, and so 10. But you go calmly, quickly and comfortably. Back if you return from the club, then also 10 euros. For the night rate, as we were told, no one else took us. All clubs in Rithymno are not big, these are 3 clubs. Rock Cafe, Metropolis. And I won’t tell you the 3rd name, but next to the metropolis. Beer in them for 4-6 euros. The entrance is free. You can move from one club to another. There is also the Siesta club, it's on the other side of the hotel. But there is Greek music and full of Greeks. We did not like it there and the entrance is another 10 euros. If you rent a car, then leave the hotel and immediately there are several rental cars. Their price is the same, they all have full insurance, they do not speak Russian. On average, a car will cost you 60-70 euros per day. Gasoline is about 20 euros enough for a day, it's about 11.5 liters, the consumption is more along the serpentine than on the highway. In general, in a day you can roll 130-150 km. If you take a car to see the main attractions, then you need to take it for 3 days. They are located in different parts of the island. About the hotel, in general, I will say that it is 4k! Much better than triplets for the price. I recommend to go there young people, for those with children. It is also suitable, the kids have a couple of slides. There are houses where to play, there is a children's pool. So you don't have to worry about your Child's rest. Animation really is not in this hotel, 2 times a week they come up with an entertainment program for the evening. I recommend to anyone who chooses among not expensive hotels.
