Excellent hotel for a relaxing holiday. Yes, and if you want to hang out to Malia 10 minutes, to Hersonissos 20 minutes, and there is more than enough "other" rest.

Departure: Transaero delayed the flight from St. Petersburg for 6 hours. Poor place Pulkovo-2, transport does not go to the airport, only commercial. Foreigners ride to the subway standing in gazelles, driven by their dubious personalities.

Poor place Pulkovo-2, transport does not go to the airport, only commercial. Foreigners ride to the subway standing in gazelles, driven by their dubious personalities. There is only one information board for the entire airport 20 inch TV.
Tour operator: Natalie-tours didn’t meet us upon arrival in Crete, found the same poor fellows, they began to ask in all the booths where Natalie was, pointed the finger at my grandfather, who was chatting with the Greek (later turned out to be our driver), he covered Natalie’s sign with a sheet of paper and he didn't care that they were looking for him. Approached him, he said in walnut to wait). All passengers on the plane left. Finally, Tatiana, the GEA Travel guide, visited us, *crezi* told her grandfather, she handed out booklets to us, after the Greeks had talked enough about the sun by sunset, they decided to take us to hotels.
The departure was great too. The day before departure, 2.00 no information. The girls with whom I was supposed to fly called *where travel*, they answered, we will send a fax, there is no my last name in the *fax*. The receptionist calls again, connects me with Alexandra (like data), she asks what I want, I say... a cup of coffee, she says Tatiana will call back now, she calls the same question, I say, I'm leaving tomorrow morning, I'm not on the list, Natalie made a gift for another week), 12th hour at night, I arrived from Christi Island, tired, like a dog falling asleep, asking me to wait another 5 minutes, he will call back... in short, he flew away, it didn’t bother me, I had fun, a big boy.
Otelchik: nice 3.5 in Egyptian, feeding a normal half board was enough for the day. The furniture is new. The water drains badly in the shower. There is no beach. Sisi also does not have a beach in Mali, I have not been there. But you take a can of beer from the refrigerator, Mobile with music, on the way you grab a chair and sit by the sea, full of flying away).
This is a children's camp dolphin in general from Moscow, they even have their own doctor. Due to the crisis, they are not fully loaded. I don’t know what happened during the day, I wasn’t there. The pool is cleaned, once swam the water is not clear. The room is cleaned every day, mobile tariff is expensive!! ! the Albanians work, they know Russian, there is definitely warm water in the shower, the refrigerator was broken, I asked for it, they replaced it, you can catch free Wi-Fi, you can catch the condo 7th safe 2nd package for the week 50s I didn’t take the condo turned on the next day and didn’t turn off, don’t take out the card, mosquitoes!! ! On the day of departure, the foreigner was hysterical no TV blah blah blah, I don’t look for order, I checked it, it works without a remote control. Maybe not, I didn't need it.
Prices: sissy town is small delicious how to go to the city from the left on the corner of the market, I looked at the prices, they asked me to go out), on the right the market is better and the prices and service, a branch of grapes 3 peaches and 1.5 water 2.9e. Great 10s, scooter 12s needs a license, the car depends on the engine.
Excursions: I will throw a stone in travel agencies). The best way is to take a regular bus *green* go to the highway (2 km 20 min walk you will see the real Crete) E-75 it goes along Crete from 6-21 every half hour a bus from 3-6e between cities 1-2 hours on the way will be faster than by car, they drive cars 50km for 100km, the police brutalize on the roads. 4 main cities, in small cities the schedule is less frequent, all the information at the stations is in abundance. They arrive at the bus station mainly at the port or nearby, you can also buy an excursion to the islands or around the city for a penny, the service is full of maps, schedules, better than in Pulkovo 2. I don’t know languages, I traveled almost all of Crete on a bus cheaper 2-2.5 times than excursions, for example, on about. Christy no tours. There was a GPS on the phone. Travel agencies did not get to Santorini and bought up tickets for goat ferries.
Tips: The bus does not run according to the schedule, but please be 15 minutes before departure to fill up. There are two car companies. Example: I'm going from Heraklion to Retimino changed my mind, decided to chania, while my bus is in Retimino, I take a ticket there to chania, but another company, my bus leaves for an hour waiting for another company's beads). At the end of the day there is a mess, leave early. Contact the Russians, there are no crooks there (they are on vacation), cooperate. This is Greece not the Baltic States and Poland all work for you.

In the information brochure of the travel agency Natalie Tours, we were attracted by the fact that the hotel has a sandy beach with free sunbeds and umbrellas, a swimming pool with sea water, as well as a disco and an amphitheater. What did we actually get... On the first day, we sold through the territory of the calving in a shocked state. firstly, the hotel itself was located on settlements, behind it there was only a wasteland, so it was unrealistic to take a walk at night (since there was little lighting). But it's not so scary, most importantly, there was no sandy beach near the hotel. After long conversations with the staff, we found out that the beach is 500 meters from the hotel, it was municipal (umbrellas and sunbeds are paid).
Second, the wait staff were terrible. The owner recruited students from nearby countries who can't do anything but want to have fun. It was clear that they had come to rest. We had the impression that they were vacationers, not us.
Thirdly, the food did not differ in variety. We were fed cheese and sausage + eggs for breakfast for 14 days. By the third day, we were tired of it. Since we arrived nevertheless to rest, and not to shake our nerves, we tried to find a way out of this situation. I HAD TO SHOULD GET AWAY.
Since there was no normal beach (what we were offered turned out to be a bay into which ships constantly entered and all living creatures swam), we rented a car and drove to the beach in the neighboring city of Malia. We did not swim in the sea water pool at all, as it had not been washed for a long time. When we started asking, the staff pointed their fingers at the information sheet of the hotel, where it was written that it was washed every day. This was clearly not the case. We were also constantly told that they were out of season, so everything was in disrepair, no amphitheater, let alone a disco we did not find. Here it had to pay for the car and food. If you are traveling with a man, you will definitely have to bribe food. When we came to the end of dinner, there was almost nothing left, and they did not put any food.
We had no complaints about the rooms, the rooms were spacious and comfortable.
In general, the holiday was a success, but I don’t want to go anywhere else from the company NATALIE TOURS, as they provided false information in their booklet, using a couple of trite PR tricks.
In general, the hotel is not so bad, if you come there only to sleep. BUT THERE IS NOTHING TO DO WITHOUT A CAR.

Were there from 08/08/2008 to 08/22/2008. The owner is excellent, they left full of gifts from his personal farm for the production of olive cosmetics / oils! The hotel does not have a sandy descent to the sea, but having bought a mask and special. shoes = 7 euros, you can dive well and get acquainted with a bunch of fish and crabs. … More ▾ Were there from 08/08/2008 to 08/22/2008.

The food is excellent, we rented a car at the hotel for 5 days, they gave us a discount of 50 euros! Very satisfied, thanks to all the Sun Village staff. Marina did not use the services of a guide, they immediately sent her to ignore : )
p. s The owner loves animals very much, so he has both donkeys and special horses. allotted territory : )

We were in this hotel from July 15 to July 26.2008. At first glance, everything was fine. At the FIRST LOOK, the owner of the hotel seemed good and hospitable, but later we learned his true attitude towards RUSSIAN !! ! he was indignant in a hysterical form in in the presence of other tourists, he did not like that the Russians drink and eat a lot (despite the fact that they had ALL INCLUSIVE !!! ) THERE IS NO PROMISED BEACH AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWN TO THE SEA NORMALLY! Huge and sharp stones! We went either to the bay or to the far beach (20 min walk). … More ▾ We were in this hotel from July 15 to July 26.2008. At first glance, everything was fine.

THERE IS NO PROMISED BEACH AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWN TO THE SEA NORMALLY! Huge and sharp stones! We went either to the bay or to the far beach (20 min walk). people rented cars in order to drive to normal SANDY beaches, while cars rented elsewhere at more reasonable prices than at the hotel, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PARK NEAR THE HOTEL!
if the meeting party is the Millennium Tour (guide MARINA!!!!! ), Do not take excursions (or check the voucher for the tour very carefully). She "threw" our friends for 500 euros, accused them of inattention and then disappeared without returning the money!
stated in the booklet: playground, volleyball, mini market, tavern, restaurant - NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

San Villac.....great hotel. . was with my brother and sister!! ! The beach is really stone boulders and it takes 10 minutes to go sandy. since it was a local entertainment and really a Cretan Evening until 12:00 they began to arrange Russian open air on their balcony . . thereby disturbing the sleep of the French neighbors)))) the attendants are mainly from Slovenia, so they quickly found a common language with the Slav brothers ( given the fact that they prepare food for the restaurant, they are also better friends with them))) (they thump, by the way, almost like Russians)) Take it inclusive . … More ▾ San Villac.....great hotel. . was with my brother and sister!! !

Take it inclusive .....!!! ! The owner of the best hotel is a man called George (a couple of times he was at our open air ....he also drank)))) The best hotel for a family vacation is quiet and calm (I advise) ))) All RESPECT!! !

A week ago we returned from Crete, rested at the Sun Village hotel. The hotel is geographically in a good location, 5 minutes to Malia, 20 to Elounda, 40 to Heraklion, and in general Sisi is a good village - there are souvenirs, rents, supermarkets, restaurants. Therefore, the most pleasant thing in the hotel is peace and quiet (good for those who go for this), and the most unpleasant thing is food and BEACH, or rather its absence. … More ▾ A week ago we returned from Crete, rested at the Sun Village hotel.
The hotel is geographically in a good location, 5 minutes to Malia, 20 to Elounda, 40 to Heraklion, and in general Sisi is a good village - there are souvenirs, rents, supermarkets, restaurants. Therefore, the most pleasant thing in the hotel is peace and quiet (good for those who go for this), and the most unpleasant thing is food and BEACH, or rather its absence.

The rooms are spacious with a balcony, paid air conditioning (6 euros per day, we didn’t take it), a refrigerator (it didn’t work well), a TV (there are no Russian and music channels), cleaning every day (like making a bed, by the way, it was changed only once in 2 weeks , and sometimes they completely forgot about towels), there were no soap and soap accessories in the bathroom, as well as hot water after 18.00, but there was a hairdryer and even toilet paper.
In general, there is nothing to do with children there, as well as without a driver's license!
The pool is small, dumb and stinky (very stinky) because there are goats, donkeys and horses behind the wall!

Food - HORRIBLE! The men could not stand it already on the 3rd day, because from the same squids, half-eaten on one day, they prepared another dish on the second day, etc. Breakfasts are God's shit (poor mothers with children!!! ) I think homeless people in bunkhouses feed better. In general, the hotel would be nothing if there was no food and there was a pontoon in the sea, you can close your eyes to the rest!
We paid 1280 euros for 12 days with visas for two, but in reality I would not give more than 900 euros with visas

The hotel is excellent, for its category - more than. The most pleasant thing is the attitude of the hotel staff to the guests, and especially to the Russians. Neat spacious rooms, cleaning every day, always of high quality, regardless of whether you leave a tip or not. In general, Sun village can hardly be called a hotel, it consists of two-story buildings descending to the sea and is run by a family. After a few days, it seems that you have come to visit relatives, there is such a warm attitude towards tourists =).

On the first day, the location of the hotel is shocking - the fact is that it is far from all entertainment centers, the nearest city - Malia - 6 km, you can’t reach it on foot. In general, Sisi is a small village where you will not find clubs, but shops, cafes, restaurants, rental offices - as much as you like.
Near the territory of the hotel, horses and donkeys graze, very nice =)) But even the distance to the cities will not be particularly frightening if it is possible to rent a car. If not, you will have to take a taxi in the evening, which costs about 1 euro per km. (double rate at night), or by bus - they call in Sisi 2 times a day: at 9 am and at 4 pm, but they don’t follow the schedule, you can wait for the bus for 30-40 minutes. Also, every 30 minutes, buses run along the highway, which is about 10-15 minutes from the hotel.

In general, if you do not plan to take a car, but want to see more sights - still count on the fact that you will have to book excursions (from 35 euros). We rented a car and we had no problems getting around the island. It’s also surprising that everywhere in Crete the water is heated by the sun, so you don’t have to count on a warm shower in the morning and evening. Very refreshing in the heat =).
In general, when relaxing in this hotel, after a few hours all dissatisfaction disappears, if you had it at first: excellent attitude, excellent cuisine, including Greek (not all hotels have this). feta cheese, yogurt, salads, toast, cold cuts, cereals, jam, honey are always served for breakfast...for dinner, the choice is also wonderful. Of course, it cannot be compared with a Spanish or Italian buffet - the choice of dishes is less, but the quality of their food and the unique taste of Greek dishes captivate. The hotel always gives a choice of meat, fish dishes (different every day), side dishes, salads, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, and everything is always fresh.

By the way, for some reason, this is not written anywhere in Moscow on websites, but their air conditioners are paid - about 5-6 euros per day. The sea is really nearby, our view from the room was just on it, it's about 200 meters to go to a small sandy beach.
The hotel also has its own small sandy beach, where there are sun loungers and you can sunbathe, but it is difficult to enter the sea, especially when there are waves, because the sand ends and large boulders begin.
In general, the impression is excellent - next time I will definitely go to the same hotel.

The only thing that may not really like it is young people who do not have the opportunity to rent a car or scooter and who do not want to spend money on a taxi - they will be bored. In other cases, you can safely go - you will not be disappointed. For those who like a quiet measured rest - the option is generally ideal.
