1. Sea. clean. mostly calm. quite shallow - the depth "up to the neck" begins after 50 steps) there are no lifeguards, only a man-whistle, periodically driving people out of the sea if the waves are high. This, however, did not bother the Russians) the entrance is normal, I don’t know what the previous commentator didn’t like. wooden gangway, sandy bottom. on the beach itself there is a thin strip of pebbles and in the sea there are several large and clearly visible stones.
2. Nutrition. very good. Of course, there are no 30 buffet rows, as in Turkey, but this is not necessary. always a choice of pork / chicken / fish / veal / lamb. sometimes seafood. fruits: watermelons, melons, apples, peaches, pears, kiwi, apricots. the first - only dinner and only one puree soup. tea / coffee only for breakfast, or in the pool bar. drinks to choose from - all sorts of cola sprites, tasteless juice concentrates, beer, dry wine, water. every Thursday barbecue evening is generally a celebration of the stomach.
3. Staff. very friendly and welcoming. Receptionists are always ready to help. they know Russian poorly, English, German, French, Italian - well.

4. Entertainment. rotten. animation is not very good, designed for sedate and calm Germans. Russian music at the disco is retro and reluctant, because the Fritz are unhappy. but we asked for a DJ and he set) there are several sporting events, rather sluggish aqua aerobics. The pool bar offers board games and cards. tennis tables and court. gym. FREE WIRED INTERNET IN THE ROOMS!! ! take notes!
5. Numbers. good, no frills, cleaning every day, linen change every 2 days. decent linen - not washed. mini bar is empty - i. e. if you want, fill it out yourself. small 2 soaps and shower gels - once a day of arrival. hairdryer. air conditioner. TV - one Russian channel. there is a big BUT: very fig soundproofing. very very bogus. newlyweds, keep in mind, the hotel is family) ask for rooms away from everyone, although it is unlikely to help)
6. District. boring. the tourist village is a 15-minute leisurely walk, which is not at all stressful, the weather there is now better than at home - up to 30 degrees at our 40-43. in the village there are souvenir shops, supermarkets, shops "for those who have forgotten something", a lot of cafes, a fur shop, but the quality of the products is very poor. there is also a sightseeing train station - visit, choose something. tour operator tours (Tez) are expensive, especially in terms of the most popular and interesting excursions. car rental is an option, but you have to fiddle with guidebooks. taxi 1.5 euro kilometer. Another option is to take a bus to Chania or Rethymnon and take a sightseeing bus there, where you will be given headphones with excursion information in Russian.
in general - a very good family hotel for a family holiday with a good area, especially in comparison with nearby ones. If you haven't cleared up a question, please ask.
