Отдых на Крите Holidays in Crete

We rested in CORALLI BEACH APARTMENTS APART 4 ​ ​ * in August 2011. The hotel does not pull more than two stars. Of the pluses, it is quite clean bed linen and always warm water. And also the proximity of the sea (you can swim and sunbathe on a lounger by the pool or on the balcony after dinner). The beach opposite the hotel is cozy and has a good sandy entry (during a storm it was almost completely flooded, we had to walk a little further). We were not lucky - the storm was 10 days out of 14. Of the minuses, this is a dirty room (we bought a jar of liquid with bleach and everyone washed the toilet, sink, bath, table and chairs on the balcony). There is nothing in the bathroom - no soap, no shampoo, no hair dryer declared in the advertisement (And this is a 4 * hotel). The dishes were for two persons (and there were three of us), barely through the guide they asked for another fork and spoon. I had to buy my own frying pan, because nothing could be fried in their frying pan, everything burned. They saw a microwave at the neighbors, we didn’t have it, it seems that tourists themselves buy appliances for a normal life, so they leave everything to them. They took out the trash themselves. Another of the minuses is the planes coming in for landing, just above our balcony (the landing gear is visible). EVERY FIVE MINUTES!!! ! Fortunately, they do not fly from 24 to 6. And the screaming cicadas are something (I really wanted to buy dichlorvos). There is a gap under the front door cm 4. audibility is perfect. Once we saw an advertisement for a barbecue in a hotel for 30 euros per person. We didn't go because we were tired after the tour. The staff speaks only English (although almost all Russians were in the hotel). There are markets near the hotel (products and just small things), and a 20-minute walk from a SPAR supermarket and some other opposite, there are normal products. We went several times to the cafe "AMBROSIA" - I liked it, it's delicious, but every day it's expensive to eat there. Not far from the hotel is the Cretan Aquarium (15 minutes on foot). There are almost no people in the evening at 19, you can safely see everything. Very beautiful! We rented a car for 4 days, traveled (Chania, Ierapetra, Spili, Lassithi, Agios Nicholas, Vai beach) and escaped from the storm on the Libyan Sea. We are the second time in Crete, (were in the Rethymno area in a 3 * apart-hotel), there is something to compare with. I won't go to this hotel again. And I highly recommend presenting this hotel as a 2 * - self-catering rooms.
