The rest was from the tour operator Novaturas (Lithuania). We liked the hotel. The staff is very friendly. There were no problems with the language ball. Everyone who rested at the hotel was provided with a hotel guide, but I saw our guide once in the hotel and then on the flight, we spoke Russian. I can characterize his work as extremely unprofessional, since I learned all the information through third-party representatives.

I can characterize his work as extremely unprofessional, since I learned all the information through third-party representatives.
The contingent of tourists is international. A lot of Poles and Ukrainians, the rest of all a little.
The nearest beach was 15 minutes walk. Also from the hotel several times a day there was a bus on which you could get to the beach, the new Chersonese and back. All schedules are issued upon arrival. Also, all information is given upon arrival. But if you want to find a normal place to swim, you will need to walk around in search.
The hotel area is clean and well maintained. Every day the room is cleaned, towels are changed on request. You can rent beach towels. Own car rental office, but not very budget. When returning from the beach, you can find more interesting options for both price and cars.
Pleased with the kitchen. Nothing super extravagant. The fact that everyone will eat fish and meat and chicken and vegetables. Every time it's different. Very tasty and varied. Also ice cream for lunch and dinner. Fruit for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The bar also works. The bar is all inclusive, and this is beer, white and red wine, brandy and ouzo (wine is not very good, it is better to go and buy homemade in the nearest store for 4 euros???? ) Also lemonades and juices.
But water cannot be bottled, you can buy a bottle for 1.5. But we bought water once at the store for 40 cents. And they just took a glass of water and poured it in the room. (That's what everyone did)
Be prepared to pay taxes upon entry.
Also on site there is a regular pool with different depths and a children's pool with slides. Lots of sunbeds, tables with ashtrays. On Wednesdays we had dances.
They took us to the airport on a nonname and if we weren’t sitting in the lobby waiting for them, but were on the territory, then it’s not a fact that we would have found it, we were looking for the check-in desk ourselves.
Of the minuses is very weak Wi-Fi. Don't expect to catch it anywhere else. It's easier to buy a SIM card. Better at the airport. And the location - it is advisable to take a car.

The first question at the reception: Will you have coffee? -10 euros for two!! ! The remote control for the air conditioner was not immediately given. The room was not in the main building, had to look. I drowned the key to the room - they took 30!! ! Euro. All this was done by one worker, his name is Aristidis, a bad and very greedy person.

But the worst thing: the bottom of the sea - reefs!! ! I broke my finger (phalanx) and cut my heel. They are still alive. Checked out of the room before 12 noon, the plane was at 23.00. Hanging around the hotel for 8 hours - disgusting! WIFI IS ONLY NEAR THE RECEPTION, AND THIS IS WEAK.

It was my first time in Crete. Impressions from the rest - magnificent, I got everything I wanted and what I counted on for quite a lot of money. The food is good, the choice of dishes, as for the "troika" - very, very much. By comparison, in the Bulgarian four Elenite last year did not know how to feed the child.

The hotel is not suitable for lazy people, as the road to the sea takes 30 minutes. The bus takes you to the beach, but not at a very convenient time. The sea is beautiful, a lot of stones and fish. There are no crowds of people - this is the most important thing !! ! You leave the hotel and feel freedom, empty roads and streets. If you need to hustle and have fun - Hersonissos is a 5-minute drive away. And the most important thing is that my children (6 and 13 years old) for the first time did not bring any temperature, no cough, no snot from the sea, i. e. no infection... And this speaks of the purity of the air and the sea.

General impression: budget hotel, clean, 100% consistent with its ***. the staff is a bit slow and not too smiling. Oceanis is located in the countryside, it takes 15 minutes to walk slowly to the sea. the food is edible, I advise you to take AI (all inclusive). Accommodation The hotel is located "in the outback" - away from a busy road, in the middle of the village of Anissaras (focus on Hersonissos, it's very close).

Oceanis is located in the countryside, it takes 15 minutes to walk slowly to the sea. the food is edible, I advise you to take AI (all inclusive). Accommodation The hotel is located "in the outback" - away from a busy road, in the middle of the village of Anissaras (focus on Hersonissos, it's very close). It is surrounded mainly by someone's vegetable gardens, and on the way to the beach (15 minutes) you can see goats, chickens, and a whole plantation of cloves. A taxi to the nearest city will cost 7-8 euros, a free bus runs to the beach and to Hersonissos at 10-0.12-4.13-0.15-45 (the schedule hangs at the entrance). Territory: small, but there is enough space for everyone. The hotel seems to "go down" down the hill. Hibiscus grow in the garden (bloom bright red), olives, pines. Swimming pool for adults: length approx. 12 m, 0.75-1.70m depth, plus a paddling pool for kids 0.45 m. There are a lot of sun loungers, you can lie down on the lawn under the trees, you can right at the pool bar, where food and drink are available on AI until 11 pm. Once a week - live music, dancing - no other entertainment. Under a canopy near the cafe - billiards, table tennis, air hockey, vending machines. We rested in August, there were a lot of cicadas on the trees. They are harmless, but they chirp very loudly, on the first day it seemed to drive you crazy, but at night they become silent. It's not about the territory, these insects live everywhere on the island. The rooms are bright, the furniture is modest but in good condition. The room has a hairdryer, TV, refrigerator, air conditioning (the last 2 items can be paid separately, for 6 euros per day, depending on the tour you bought) The bed was changed only once a week, towels (2 per person) - three. Balcony with table and chairs is in all rooms. If you do not trust the staff and locks, you can rent a safe, 10 euros - 7 days. Other information Check-in at 14:00, if there are no available rooms, you will have to wait in the lobby. If you are going on an excursion, you can order modest "lunch boxes" (sandwich, cake, water, fruit), but only until 16-00 the day before the trip, and if you are late, you can ask for a late dinner. Internet - 50 cents for 15 min. Wifi is free. The building has a spacious elevator (but the door is small). Do not take tours and cars at the hotel, the cheat is huge, do not mess with the local tour operators! better when you go by bus to Hersonissos, go to one of the many travel agencies, win at least 20 euros! rent a car in the same place or on the embankment, it costs 70 euros per day, we took it from "Romanos", but the choice is huge. I can say that the vacation went well. If you are not spoiled, this hotel is for you!

My husband and I rested for only a week in Greece on about. Crete (Hersonissos), but managed to fall in love with this country, landscapes, service, people. Pleasant impressions covered already on landing at the airport of Heraklion. - It is located near the sea. The meeting party was Join UP, a comfortable bus with air conditioning, a good guide, general information about the island was told, listened with pleasure, they gave out a map of Crete in envelopes, information brochures, where there are many answers to questions from tourists.

My husband and I rested for only a week in Greece on about. Crete (Hersonissos), but managed to fall in love with this country, landscapes, service, people. Pleasant impressions covered already on landing at the airport of Heraklion. - It is located near the sea. The meeting party was Join UP, a comfortable bus with air conditioning, a good guide, general information about the island was told, listened with pleasure, they gave out a map of Crete in envelopes, information brochures, where there are many answers to questions from tourists. We were taken to the hotel in about 30-40 minutes. The Oceanis Hotel 3 * is 15 km from the airport and tourists are one of the first to be brought there. We were placed at the hotel immediately upon arrival (although it was still 2 hours before 12), at the reception they gave a room with a sea view (without additional payment and asking for additional), the organization was clear and understandable.
Oceanis Hotel 3 * is very good! By European standards, an excellent C grade with 4 * food. The first thing to note is the food.
An excellent chef, special thanks to him for the rest, and for the fact that my husband recovered by 4-5 kg))) Breakfasts are varied, lunches, dinners too, you can always choose what to eat, everything is fresh, they bring new things to those who come later . If you have a choice, take all inclusive or HB-in this hotel, take the first one !! ! Our friends took the second option - lunches, of course, are not included, no drinks are included for dinner, except for pure water, and mineral water, juice, cola, tea / coffee for 2 euros per cup, not to mention alcohol. Shops are far away and you can’t run for water and drinks if you really want to. When buying a ticket, the difference between options 1 and 2 is not big, but on the spot if you want to pay + 10 euros per day / person (surcharge is not profitable). And AL and I were not even allowed to treat them with cola, the bartender counted all the glasses that we take out from the bar, so that by chance they would not give away to the guys whose drinks were not included. This is the worst part of the holiday. About the bar, let everyone know: it works by the pool from 11.00 to 23.00.
You will find the only unpleasant employee of the hotel right here, he is always tired, he fell into pouring 2-3 glasses each, when the time comes to the end of AL, they didn’t take cocktails and paid drinks in principle from him, since what he poured for free, as if from his pocket.
The rooms are clean, you can trust the reviews on different sites, they themselves chose according to the reviews. The bed is double, comfortable, there is a dressing table, armchairs, a toilet and a shower cabin together (closed with a curtain, there is no holder for the shower, you need to keep it when you wash, the floor is wet after bathing, it's not scary, you can wait until it dries, or until they clean it the next day maids). Cleaning is wet every day, the bed is changed every other day, towels can be 2-3 times a week, we have not determined, since we always took our beach towels to the beach.
Everything is clean and beautiful, the furniture is intact, everything works - the wardrobe is large, there is a TV with Russian channels, a refrigerator (10 euros / 7 days) in each No. we were told to take out the key periodically at night if we freeze from 20 degrees, and if we want both light and air conditioning in the evening, we climb on the table and turn it on / off ourselves. ) It was such a physical education! Although to be honest, we used it very little, because the breeze always blew, and if the balcony is open, then day and night it is not hot and fresh sea air. The hotel is designed for tourists of all ages. For children and those who like to actively spend time on the territory there is a swimming pool, tennis and table tennis, billiards, darts, there are no slides. For girls and those who like to lie and sunbathe, there are free sun loungers under the trees near the pool (shade from the trees during the day).
The beach is local (pebbles, stones with sea urchins in the water, I didn’t really like it, there is a second beach - small pebbles, where water bikes, renting 2 sun loungers and an umbrella from 6 euros). The beach is far away 500-600m from the hotel, along an asphalt road or local streets, but it didn’t bother us (those who want to take a bus back and forth for free from the hotel, it goes to Hersonissos, there are a lot of beaches, there are sun loungers from 10 euros a couple and an umbrella / day and wild on towels, with your own on the ball, on the same bus you can get to the highway, where you can transfer to the local route and drive 14-15 km to the capital Heraklion). There is an internet room (for a fee) and computers for games near the reception. Even the doctor from the hotel comes 2 times a week, we did not need an office near the reception, and we wish you too. There is no massage room, sauna, etc. , this is a trio, do not demand more than it should. In the city
Hersonissos has beauty salons and manicure / pedicure with fish, there are also bars, restaurants, nightlife is 2 km from the hotel))) There is no entertainment program, animation, dancing in the hotel (but we danced ourselves, there is music, even with the staff we danced sirtaki and plates bili ), you need to go either to Hersonissos or Maya by bus or taxi from 8-10 euros, or rent a car. At the reception they offer a car rental, our friends took it, they didn’t complain: for 3 days they paid about 130-140 euros + 1 day the fourth received as a gift (Fiat Panda small car, full insurance), gasoline 1.8E / liter. We met another couple at the hotel and for 4 we rented a car near the beach in ANNA cars - for 1 day renting a car from 40 euros (depending on the model and number of days of rent - more days - cheaper). You can leave on the same day when you sign the contract, you can leave the next day, they ask you to return the car by 19 pm on the last day when the lease ends.
We had 2 drivers, we drove every day (we traveled all over Crete up and down, the entire excursion program), they asked us to indicate in the contract that the insurance extended to the car, there were no problems. When they parked near the curb, they hit it with a bumper (it turned out to be high) - they didn’t even look at the delivery of the car, they just checked the trunk and under the seats, if there were any things we forgot and joyful tenants with the words “OK, OK !! ! ' wished us good luck. In general, the people there are very pleasant, they will always prompt, help, no one fools and begs for money, unlike some countries (Tunisia, Turkey, Egypt). It is customary to leave tea, as everywhere in Europe.
Excursions can be taken from the tour operator, the girls in red from Join UP explain everything very beautifully, help to find a common language with the staff, resolve all issues for those who do not know English (by the way, the staff spoke well in English, Russian, only some words, and from Ukrainian after we were remembered only "Budmo! Dyakuyu". ). Excursions are not cheap, but Crete is worth it. And do not believe those who say that who has not visited about. Santorini, he was not in Greece. We didn’t take excursions, but we saw even more on our own, swam in 3 seas in 1 day, were in the city of Rethymno, fresh lake Kournas, Bali or Balos bay, Hersonissos, Maia, Agios Nikolaos, swam on about. Spinalonga from the port town of Elounda.
The rest was a success, we will go to Greece again!

This hotel was only a day, but the impressions remained for a long time. We were supposed to go to a completely different place, but we were put on a bus at the airport and sent here. The first impression is good - clean, many people, a beautiful pool. The area is small. There is even one palm tree. The rooms are nice, tidy, freshly renovated.

This hotel was only a day, but the impressions remained for a long time. We were supposed to go to a completely different place, but we were put on a bus at the airport and sent here. The first impression is good - clean, many people, a beautiful pool. The area is small. There is even one palm tree. The rooms are nice, tidy, freshly renovated. Although red-language traces of fomka have already appeared on the gate near the castle. After changing clothes and resting from the road, the child asks a classic question: "Dad, where is the sea? ». From the window the sea can be seen, it is even so beautiful in the distance, as in the paintings of novice artists from the Odessa Art School. Went. Start at 11 am. The sun is shining like a light bulb in Yanukovych's toilet. Heat. We go. In short, lowering literary metaphors and non-literary mothers, to the sea 1200-1300 m. And to the beach. . l a couple of hundred meters more.
Because the sea in Crete is the same bitch, harsh as the Greek men and only real Greeks can swim in it ignoring the deadly bites of sea urchins. The whole coastline is an accumulation of fireplace blocks that are impossible to walk on, even in special shoes. Even if you haven't smashed your feet against the stones, you're sure to slip and smack your ass straight at the needles of these fucking needle creatures. Even before reaching the beach, we return to the hotel. Heat, dust, no soul around. After walking in such heat for a kilometer we fall into the room on the bed. The room is better than on the street, but there is no distance from the air conditioner on the bedside table, you have to go to pay for it. After such a trip, it's too much.
We only had half board, so at lunch we have to go eat and feed the baby. Well, like, "Let's try now. " There are no cafes or restaurants around. In all, we didn't see a single person outside of Oceanics during the day.
It seems that this is the last refuge of human civilization. . la apocalypse and now gets drunk by the pool and yells Russian pop. The only place where life is a little hot is a cafe and a cult goods store near the beach. (You already know where the beach is. ) If you want a drink during the day, you can buy water at the bar (or drink from the pool), given that the price is 1 liter. ordinary water 2 euros (In stores in Heraklion, it costs 35-50 cents). There is a true way that the guests from St. Petersburg suggested to us. - You can rent a car and go to Hersonissos for shopping and lunch, it's only 5-8 km.
Maybe you like to just walk around the picturesque Cretan villages, immerse yourself, so to speak, in the atmosphere of simple rural life, socializing with friendly villagers and admiring the scenery, relaxing in the shade of an olive grove. I will say right away - this is not an option for you. The locals have long since deprived this cursed and God-forgotten hole.
As evidenced by closed hotels, cafes, houses. The whole area is fenced with netting, so you can walk only on dusty asphalt and not everywhere paths. Behind the net you will see the sad atmosphere of hard rural work - cities with zucchini and melons, olive groves and piles of garbage. However, in one place we saw a barn in which two huge red goats lived. The goats moaned plaintively and asked to be killed. In short, the depression is complete.
Due to the low price, the hotel itself is used by intricate travel agencies as a settling tank for gullible tourists. These are the ones who paid the full price of a good hotel, in a good place, and they are moved to this ass. Even during our 24-hour stay, we received two groups of people from Russia who, like us, were relocated here against their will. The poor people who had just arrived and were still under the influence of alcohol, prudently brought from the harsh North.
It's even scary to think what will happen to them when they find out. that in order to get drunk they will have to go for a cold beer for several kilometers. By the way, during the day we also did not find any tourists from Europe.
I don't even know who to recommend this hotel to. Misanthropes and hermits will be uncomfortable here because of the crowds of Russian tourists who came here to escape in full. Homeland with children? I can't even imagine why you can hate your own children so much. Retirees? But the pensioners were already on vacation in 1967 in the village of Zalizny Port, Skadovsk district, Kherson region, but let's go again - the impressions will be the same or even worse.
Lastly, for those who have already paid for everything - the staff is friendly and the food is just great.

As evidenced by closed hotels, cafes, houses. The whole area is fenced with netting, so you can walk only on dusty asphalt and not everywhere paths. Behind the net you will see the sad atmosphere of hard rural work - cities with zucchini and melons, olive groves and piles of garbage. However, in one place we saw a barn in which two huge red goats lived. The goats moaned plaintively and asked to be killed. In short, the depression is complete.
Due to the low price, the hotel itself is used by intricate travel agencies as a settling tank for gullible tourists. These are the ones who paid the full price of a good hotel, in a good place, and they are moved to this ass. Even during our 24-hour stay, we received two groups of people from Russia who, like us, were relocated here against their will. The poor people who had just arrived and were still under the influence of alcohol, prudently brought from the harsh North.
It's even scary to think what will happen to them when they find out. that in order to get drunk they will have to go for a cold beer for several kilometers. By the way, during the day we also did not find any tourists from Europe.
I don't even know who to recommend this hotel to. Misanthropes and hermits will be uncomfortable here because of the crowds of Russian tourists who came here to escape in full. Homeland with children? I can't even imagine why you can hate your own children so much. Retirees? But the pensioners were already on vacation in 1967 in the village of Zalizny Port, Skadovsk district, Kherson region, but let's go again - the impressions will be the same or even worse.
Lastly, for those who have already paid for everything - the staff is friendly and the food is just great.

In Crete for the second time and both in the area of Hersonissos. About the area: there are no beaches there, the exception is the bay in front of the town under the mountain. Even 5rocks of Aldemarovsky have solid stones on the beach. About the hotel: good 3k, cleaning every day, rooms are ordinary, no frills, shampoo and soap were added every other day, a normal breakfast, lunch and dinner for three rubles are good.

In Crete for the second time and both in the area of Hersonissos. About the area: there are no beaches there, the exception is the bay in front of the town under the mountain.
Even 5rocks of Aldemarovsky have solid stones on the beach. About the hotel: good 3k, cleaning every day, rooms are ordinary, no frills, shampoo and soap were added every other day, a normal breakfast, lunch and dinner for three rubles are good. From drinks red, white local wine, beer, brandy and brandy, tea, coffee, etc. Ice cream for lunch and dinner. Swimming pool with bar, awnings, sun loungers, everything is fine.
Now about the problems: the hotel is on the mountain, incl. really to the embankment about 20-25 minutes downhill, back, respectively, 30-35! it's up to the waterfront, it's better to swim at Aldemar, right behind the breakwater, it's right across the sea, another 10 minutes. Three times a day, a bus runs from the hotel to the beach and to Hersonissos.
They asked for money for air conditioning and a mini-fridge, although we took an all-inclusive, Coral's representative could not explain why.
This is probably all the minuses of the hotel. If you are ready to walk a lot in the mountains, then this is a great option for a relaxing holiday. All entertainment and excursions in Hersonissos and Heraklion.
Who needs details: beaches, excursions, prices, write, I will answer.

rested family in August 2010. chose a budget hotel, because. planned to devote time to relaxing at sea and traveling around the island itself. therefore, if you need a hotel just to spend the night, then Oceanis is your option. of course, 20 years ago, when this hotel was built, it was magnificent, but, unfortunately, it has not been modernized to already modern requirements.

rested family in August 2010. chose a budget hotel, because. planned to devote time to relaxing at sea and traveling around the island itself.
therefore, if you need a hotel just to spend the night, then Oceanis is your option.
of course, 20 years ago, when this hotel was built, it was magnificent, but, unfortunately, it has not been modernized to already modern requirements.
Pros: a free bus runs daily from the hotel to Chersonissos and back, where you can make sea excursions and water attractions. for example, in Anissaras on the beach, a double water parachute costs 85 euros, and in Hersonissos the same for 50.
Cons: 1km to the sea, but 2km to a good beach (go left along the road beach). air conditioning in the room for an extra charge. the rooms themselves and the condition of the hotel building are VERY used (eg curtains faded from age, peeling corners and paint). we didn't like the food and the stagnant unventilated smell in the dining room. we recommend taking BB or maximum HB to eat in other places. By the way, we HIGHLY recommend the MILOS family restaurant with excellent fresh cuisine and drinks on the seashore, opposite PARADIS BEACH, it is inexpensive and VERY tasty!!!
but in general, if you are going to travel around Crete, and not sit in a hotel, then you will enjoy your vacation, because. this is an amazing and beautiful island with clean and warm sea. and if comfort is important and necessary for you, then choose another hotel.
anyway, have a nice holiday in Crete!! !
