Hello!
Were at the Minos Imperial Luxury Beach Resort and Spa 5 *
From 29.06. 13 to 10.07. thirteen
We traveled as part of two families of 4, and 3 people (5 adults, two children, one is 9, the other is 15 years old)
We are not the first time in Greece, but we were in Crete for the first time. Before leaving, we read such reviews, especially the last ones, that the mood was very spoiled, we were a little upset ...
And so, on June 29, without any problems, at exactly 7:30 we took off, we flew for about 4 hours. We arrived, got our luggage, and at the exit we were directed by Pegas Touristik to the bus.

We traveled by bus for about 2 hours, Minos Imperial was the last one on the route, and it turns out that we brought everyone in first. Their roads are tin, in the mountains, it can even get sick, we drank pills in advance, we were sleepy, nothing like, we didn’t feel sick. We expected Crete to be a little greener, but still everything is very beautiful, the mountains, the sea, around the island.
I don’t remember how many seas, but I found on the site that there the Mediterranean Sea consists of several water areas, so it is divided into seven seas: Alboran, Balearic, Ligurian, Tyrrhenian, Adriatic, Ionian and Aegean. Thus, being in the Mediterranean Sea, the island of Crete is washed by the Aegean Sea from the north, and the Ionian Sea from the west. Sooo tired, not sleeping all night, exhausted, we were finally taken to the hotel, the time was somewhere around 12. The reception looked right in the Imperial style. )) Columns, crystal chandeliers, you can say everything in dark colors, in general, it’s quite beautiful, in photographs, and the video still doesn’t look like that! The mood began to rise, at 12:00 they have lunch there, that is, we were right in time for dinner, they were glad that we would kill time a little, put on bracelets for us.
The hotel has 2 food systems: Diamond Class (Like gold bracelets, yellow for children under 18, swamp-colored for adults) and Premium Class (this is an economy class, birch bracelets for children, blue for adults) We took Premium Class, because we were convinced that special there is no difference, they said the number on the bus that they would give it only after 14:00, so they sent us for lunch, everything they didn’t take, all the fu (fish, meat, rice, potatoes) were upset again, after lunch they went to the reception, and it already turns out our numbers were ready, Hooray! We were lucky that it was so fast, but they gave us a room far away from our parents (our room was 208 Premium deluxe room with sea/garden view, area 31 sq. m. ), promised parents to change so that they were closer to us, waited for the queue, what ? They waited until we were taken to the rooms on the Carter, a car with a canopy, friends were taken quietly, but naaaas, ahah, like on a roller coaster. First they took the parents, then us. The driver awakened vigor in us, and it was remembered; )
My sister and I went into the room, very simple, the furniture is not new, but in good condition, although our friends had a room above us, on the second floor, they had a piece torn out on the handle of the sofa, we don’t understand how this is possible. The TV is normal, the rooms have tiles, they walked in shoes, slippers, and there were no dressing gowns. All rooms have a sea view, the smell is not new, especially in the closets ...in the toilets in all rooms it doesn’t look bad, but you should use the shower, the floor will be flooded, 2 large, 2 small towels, there was no rug to lay, it was cold to step on . In our room, the hair dryer had a burnt start, and almost did not work, on the second day the parents settled closer, ran to them to dry. They settled opposite, a view of the pools, on the right side of the bar and the sea, the room had a huge mirror, there was a wall, a sofa behind the wall, and an entrance to the balcony, there was a jacuzzi. In general, it's also good.

We didn’t sit in the rooms at all, and, in fact, it didn’t matter, although we were well in very super, modern hotels. We do not understand people who make a tragedy out of this, and all the rest is ruined. Rooms were cleaned every morning. The staff with a smile on their face greeted him "Kalimera"  )))) Everything was beautiful, well-groomed, comfortable on the territory, pools, bars, towels are free everywhere, Diamond has yellow, Premium has blue. The beach, of course, disappointed, sand with pebbles, but we had special shoes with us, there were waves, the place was fenced with huge stones so that there were no waves, we didn’t lie by the sea, we swam to the pool. Therefore, in the pools, there was sand, everyone walked like that and did not rinse after the sea in the shower, but they are cleaned, one pool, which is right by the sea, completely changed the water. At this pool most often lay.
We got up early, before breakfast, in order to take normal places, the sunbeds are different everywhere, they lay only on those where the pillows are comfortable. The Greeks cleaned all the pools, and cleaned in the morning. Breakfast started at 7:30. For some reason, there was no cold milk at breakfast, only warm milk, everyone ate oatmeal, freshly squeezed juice, orange only, and only for Diamond. Also for Diamond there is a separate place where to eat, near the pool, there you can pour all the fruits and freshly squeezed juice for yourself as much as you want ...and all alcoholic drinks and cocktails are also for Diamond, And the most terrible thing is that the Internet is paid, but free only for those who use the Diamond service! Where they ate, there was a manager who kept order, and the waiters, such a kind uncle, it is impossible not to smile). There was a children's table, we liked it, we even sometimes took it from there)))). ALL pools with sea water turned out to have bleach added to some.
Once we were lying in a place where children are not allowed, but we did not make noise, they did not tell us anything, it was very quiet there. There is a fairly deep pool, near the water football. There are animators, and everyone spends, it's just not Turkey for you, they are not intrusive, and they teach dancing by the pool near the bar, and there is everything on the beach, there is a football field near the hotel, and water games and 3 water slides, but they are not very attractive . Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And in the evening, where the reception, live music plays at the bar, sooo many Russians, and enough children. By the way, after that first lunch, dinner was delicious! And all the rest of the days are fine, just at first you just try everything, and then you already know how it tastes, and you take what you like, and there are no problems. The fruits were just not tasty, and only watermelon and melon. For lunch and dinner, they make pasta in front of your eyes with whatever you want, they make delicious pizza nearby, I really liked it, but you will have to stand in line for it.
I make rolls, too, nothing, and they do grill, who cares. For breakfast and dinner they made delicious waffles and pancakes, but they are not very good, ice cream, only for dinner. Because all day long they give it at the bar. dinner at 18:30. And often at the entrance there is a queue, because of the reservation. Once we went to a Chinese restaurant, I didn’t like it, except for ice cream in dough, doused in wedge syrup, cooling, because it was very hot there. The weather when we arrived was windy, it was even forbidden to swim in the sea and in the evening we were very sorry that we did not take blouses !! ! But there was no humidity like in Turkey, for example, and therefore it was great to eat outside. They warned that because of the wind it is very necessary to be careful, you can easily get burned because it cools, and the temperature is dangerous. But in the end, it was stuffy, and we missed that breeze. On the 3rd day we went to the water park city, the largest water park in Crete in all of Greece, we drove from the hotel in a mini bus. Janet (Russian speaker at the hotel).

She organized, prepared a lunch box for us, and in the morning we went, had a good time, but on the map the slides are 2 times larger) We ate there, and went online for the first time, in our opinion, only we have such rules with the Internet ....Very often, instead of lunch, we went to the village of Milatos, where we dined at the very tasty Panorama Tavern at Olga's. (there is Internet access) For lunch, because we considered it not as tasty as dinner. And it’s so hot to go, 1 time we just went for dinner, we didn’t regret it, even better. Olga, who speaks Russian very well, advised us and showed us places on the map that are worth visiting. Due to some inconvenience, we wanted to purchase the Diamond service. And rather at the Janet hotel, she offered to go to Sitia, to another hotel for a day, from July 3 to July 4. At the same time, we are given 2 cars, we must pack our bags, leaving them in the room, taking with us what we need, and by 9 pm on July 4 we must return the cars.
After that, they change our bracelets for the Diamond service, and move us to the best rooms, naturally they open access to the Internet. This is due to the fact that the hotel is full, and more people choose the Premium service. They explained, showed how to go to Sitia, marking on the map where the hotel, hotel Sitia Beach City Resort and Spa 5 *
It is located at the other end of the island, it's like an advertisement for the hotel, there are no Russians there at all, because our planes do not fly to the airport located there. We drove there for 2 hours, made a stop near the Canyon, on which the road is being built. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with juices, how beautiful it is there! Everywhere! Immediately settled, the rooms are wonderful, bright, pleasant, new, everything is there!! ! The view of the sea, and the Internet, got bored there with him. We settled in, went to dinner, went nuts, there is not much choice, but everything is sooo tasty, they probably scored the main thing there. ))) In our hotel it’s not right, everything is in quantity, but not only was it delicious, but there is not enough, but it’s very tasty!
Dali towels took us to the beach. White clean sand, blue sea, buzz! We swam, and decided to go to the places that we were advised. This is on "vai" the confluence of 2 seas (but this is not noticeable there), and on "bai". The Greeks joke that the Bounty advertisement was filmed there, when we arrived there, we didn’t expect it, but this place is considered very unusual, because it is the only place where it is not clear where the palm trees themselves came from. And in general, in Crete, they die, and they cannot understand the reason. We took pictures there, the pictures turned out very unusual! )
On the way back we stopped at the Monastery for Men, did not go in, because the entrance is paid. We went up there, on the roof, and took pictures there.

We arrived and began to prepare for dinner, where it starts later. Enjoying delicious food again! And then we went to the city of Sitia, it’s very close there, we looked around, but didn’t manage to do anything, because they close early there.
We sat near the Bar, and in the rooms, the next day we had a delicious breakfast, and dispersed. Mom and sister went back to the city, and we went to an awesome beach! Until 12 had to have time to vacate the room. Released, did not have lunch, and on the road! Forgot to take the pills for motion sickness, it was terrible! We stopped by a friend, had lunch in a tavern, nearby, there was a beach with black sands. We had lunch, and went further to the hotel. We arrived, we were immediately put on the gold bracelets of the Diamond service, we were given a password for the Internet, and we were given numbers. The rooms are the best, my sister and I are on the first line, in the evening there were problems with him, the electricity was cut off, but we learned how to cope with this, but we were in the sea itself. And parents and friends had rooms in the tower. From that moment on, we had everything, and the Internet, and everything in the room (slippers, bathrobe, full bar). Breakfast began to go downstairs, near the pool, there are all fruits, and they themselves poured juice as much as they wanted.
by July 10, before 12, we had to vacate the room, only dads were swimming, and we were packing our bags.
While we were waiting for the bus to go to the airport, more tourists were brought with us, everyone was arguing that they had not been given a room for sooo long. Who cares apparently.
Rest will pass exactly as you want it, and nothing can spoil it for you.
We had a great rest, let your rest be great!
