We rested at the hotel for 2 weeks from 07.08. 12, four adults and two children aged 9 and 14. We had: a double for 2 on the ground floor and a maisonette for 2 + 2 on the ground floor. Well, yes, the number of rooms is old, not even Bulgaria 3 *, but I’m generally silent about Turkey, but we didn’t come to sit in the room. And when you sleep, you don’t look at the shabby refrigerator. The bathroom is very pleasant. The only problem in the maisonettes is that it is very stuffy on the 2nd level, but it can be solved with a fan. And as for ants and other insects - yes they were, but who in the country does not crawl into the house? Cleaned daily and towels changed as well. The planes did not irritate, on the contrary, it was even interesting. The sea was different and calm and turbulent, but always unclear - you can’t dive with a mask, you can’t see anything. My husband and I took a boat trip for 120s for 2, so we dived and saw enough of the paintings. Only after that she regretted that she didn’t take the children to her, people swam there with 3-year-olds. The pebbles in the sea are large. If the waves didn’t knock you off your feet, it would be normal, but so my parents and I swam in slippers, the children and my husband were barefoot, young, not yet pampered. We went to the sea after breakfast at about 10, we always found chaise longues and umbrellas, despite the fact that it was the season and there were 6 of us. The territory of the hotel is huge, there is a place for children to run, and there was something to do. Big tennis, football, polo, volleyball, darts, trampoline. . . I also liked the animation, my husband even won a bottle of UZO in the competition on the 3rd day of arrival. But after 7 days it was repeated, but there was time for myself and Rhodes. There was something like a disco from 10.30 to 23.30, music played, if you want, dance. They didn’t take the car, after the sightseeing tour they didn’t risk it along the serpentine. Food is a separate issue altogether. Over the past 7 years of rest, they have not been fed anywhere. Most impressed: Dor Blue cheese, Radamer, lamb and Pina Colada prepared by Mihalas. The breakfasts are the same, but this is the first hotel where there was no queue for pancakes, and eggs, omelettes, bacon, dried apricots, raisins, dried bananas, canned and fresh fruits, by the way, there is also an abundance of fruits (apples, oranges, bananas, peaches, melons, watermelons and 3 varieties of grapes). Once there were candied cherries, sweet cherries and figs. For lunch, 3-4 types of meat (beef, pork, turkey, lamb, chicken, rabbit meat, but it was placed next to the chicken and not signed), salads, vegetables, etc. Everything is very dietary, not oversalted, not overpepped. The children's menu, as elsewhere, is not for children: fries, nuggets and something like that, it is better to choose a beef cutlet and mashed potatoes from the general table. Juices are quite decent, obviously not UPI. The range of alcoholic products pleased not only the male half of our team. Vodka, ouzo, rum, gin, tequila, brandy (it doesn't stink like metaxa), vermouth, amaretto, coconut, mint and other chemical liqueurs. The men liked beer and white wine, and especially the fact that you pour them yourself during the day, as well as refreshing drinks. In general, they were dressed up for departure. Many thanks to the representative of Belion Tour, our hotel guide Alina Verbitskaya, who was always friendly and solved any issue. In general, we really liked it, for that kind of money it’s better here than in 4 * in Turkey, and you can’t spoil your vacation with furniture. If you have ever rested in a tent with mosquitoes, or in the Crimea about 10 years ago in the private sector a la Shanghai, then Doreta will seem like Paradise to you, and if you are used to the comfort of fashionable hotels, pay another thousand two dollars. e. and ok you are in Espiridas Beach on Faliraki. Would you return? - Yes, if I liked to go to the same place. And if in the new season we do not find anything worthy in Crete, then - DORETA! Ask, I will answer. Have a nice holiday.
