We went to rest with the whole family (wife and son 2 years old) for 11 days in Greece. It was the first trip to this country, I must say right away that we really liked Greece and the hotel where we stayed.
I will write the pros and cons of the hotel.
First about the pros:
1. First: number. Clean, spacious with a large even huge balcony. Air conditioning, TV, CD / DVD player, mini fridge, safe (paid) everything was there. Also, what pleased me was the free internet via Wi-Fi. Spacious bathroom, and it was not a shower like in many hotels, but a bath. The room is excellent.
2. Second: service. All the hotel staff spoke English, they spoke Russian, only a couple of people from the staff, and all the cleaners. The room was cleaned every day, linen changed every day. In the dining room, the waiters did everything quickly and efficiently. Receptionists were quick to respond to all questions.

3. Third: animation. The animators were funny guys from Italy. Every day the people were amused by various contests and entertainment. In the evenings, evening performances were arranged every two days (it was funny to tears). They also constantly gathered people for sports entertainment: table tennis, darts, water polo and aqua aerobics. In short, it was fun. I also forgot to write there was a disco once every two days, but since we were with a child we could not go there. According to the reviews of our compatriots, everything was on the level. For children there was a children's disco 6 times a week. My son cannot be torn off. Animation is excellent.
4. Fourth: conditions for children. As I said, almost every evening there was a children's disco. There were a lot of kids and they all had a lot of fun. There was also a rather large playground, a kids club from 4 to 14 years old and two children's pools.
5. Fifth: nutrition. I won’t write much, I’ll say that I liked everything. The food was delicious, varied, especially evening desserts. Everything in the restaurant is clean and tidy. Long story short, I give it a five.
Now for the cons:
1. First: the beach. It is pebbly and small across the road, for convenience there is an elevator. The entrance to the sea is inconvenient. there were big stones. I went swimming from pantone, it was safer that way. On the beach, sun loungers, mattresses: for a fee 5 euros.
2. Second: a small area. You can say no to her. The territory is completely occupied by the hotel itself, so you won’t be able to walk around too much.
3. Third: the location of the hotel. It was remote from other hotels and settlements. There was nowhere to go in the evening, but those who came with or without children could take the bus to the city of Agios Nikolaos, only 6-7 km. By the way, the city is very cozy, beautiful, clean, I advise you to go there. We rented a car, it costs only 25-30 euros for a day and traveled half of Crete in a day.
From myself I will say this: we really liked the hotel, the rest too. If we get a chance we will definitely come back. Yes, in general, Greece cannot be compared with Turkey, Tunisia, and even more so with Egypt, but this is my personal opinion. And the prices in connection with the crisis there do not bite at all, as it was 2-3 years ago.
