Just returned from the wonderful island of Rhodes. Stayed as a family of 4 for 2 weeks. Impressions from the rest are extremely positive.
1. Pylea Beach Hotel.
Everything that was stated by the tour operator regarding the hotel is true.
The hotel is on the first line, 10 meters from the beach. To get there, you need to walk through the garden of the hotel, cross a narrow promenade, and here it is the beach. In time, the journey takes approximately 1-2 minutes. The hotel service is decent, no one is imposed, but your wishes are always fulfilled very quickly.
The rooms are clean, it can be seen that cosmetic repairs are regularly done, TV, refrigerator, telephone, air conditioning, hairdryer, safe - everything works properly. The beds are comfortable.
Cleaned well, towels honestly changed every day, bed linen - twice a week.

We only took breakfast. Every day the set is standard: different cereals, boiled and fried eggs, two types of cold cuts, cheese, feta, tomatoes, cucumbers, oatmeal porridge, muffins, tea, coffee, "juice" like zuko, milk. Everything is edible, although variety would not hurt (Now I don’t even want to look at eggs).
The hotel bar took a milkshake - very tasty!
The pool is always clean, does not smell strongly of bleach, there has never been any garbage at the bottom. The sun loungers by the pool are always free, you can also lie on the lawns under the palm trees. We never took sun loungers on the sea, we went swimming from the hotel.
The hotel is quiet, the animation from the neighboring hotel can be heard only during the day.
All rooms with sea view. One body is a direct view, the second is a side view. Entertainment, except for billiards, there is no. But behind them you can go outside the hotel. The place is very quiet.
Near the hotel there is a semblance of an aqua park.
2. Beach.
Sandy, but when entering the sea, large pebbles. On the shore about 1.5 meters and the same in the sea. We went in corrals, otherwise our legs hurt. Next is sand. Depth comes gradually. There are always waves! Paradise for athletes. With small children, it is somewhat annoying, because. sometimes even large men were knocked off their feet. But basically the wave was quite comfortable, swinging on it and jumping is also a joy.
3. Location.

It is 7 km from the airport (they spotted it on the speedometer). In principle, it is 1.5-2 kilometers to the declared village of Kremasti. In this place there is a group of hotels (there is only one three-ruble note, the rest are 4 and 5 *). There are supermarkets, taverns. I especially want to recommend Zorba's tavern. It is run by an elderly couple, the food is really homemade, the owner is just lovely. If you are interested, write, I will explain how to find it. There is live music and karaoke every evening in the Ideal cafe-bar near the supermarket. the guy is very good. True, we ran into the "musical numbers" of the Germans a couple of times - it's a disaster!! ! Fortunately for us, there were almost none of them, so it didn't happen often. I don't advise you to have lunch and dinner there, it's not very tasty. On the way to the village has a large supermarket "Proton", prices there are lower than near hotels, and there is more choice. The village itself is full of eateries and enough people.
4. And now fly in the ointment.
I'm talking about planes. In principle, they fly almost over the head, even people can be seen in the window. For me, who lives between two Moscow avenues, the planes did not cause any negative emotions. On the contrary, it's fun to watch them come over the sea to land. They fly well. And it happens at night, although not often. It is very unpleasant when ours fly, because. they are very huge, even the windows in the hotel cafe are trembling. They fly twice a week. It is useless to talk at this moment - nothing is heard. And the rest of the planes are an order of magnitude smaller, although the noise, of course, is still not bad. On the third day, we stopped noticing them at all. But there were people in the hotel who bounced on sunbeds when another plane flew. We were ready for this, so we did not experience the shock of the first plane.
5. A couple of words about the operator Natalie tour. The guide came to the hotel regularly, a very nice girl. We rented a car from the operator, because on the street they went around all the nearest rental offices - there are almost no cars (they explain that the season is) and more expensive. There are no complaints about the transfer, everything is clear, without delay.
In general, the holiday was a success. Rhodes is very beautiful, green, there is something to see, where to go. The island is small. So once is enough for me personally. I want to return to Crete (although we have been there more than once). Probably not here.
Have a good rest everyone.
