10 days since we returned from Crete, me and my husband. I want to write about everything, it seems I can scribble a book. But in order. We flew through Pegasus, the host side of the Millennium - they worked perfectly! Hotel Palm Beach 4*. Everything as stated on their page is true, it was renovated last year, the hall, dining room, veranda and some of the rooms were renovated, some of the rooms will be renovated, one big minus is excellent audibility. Food - does not shine with variety (especially breakfasts), but since we are not particularly whimsical, we were tired of everything. Sometimes there were amazing desserts, especially donuts. Wine is normal, beer is bitter (for my taste). Because we went on the all-inclusive system, often visited the bar, the impression was that the bartender was a little scoffing, because. if you ask for a glass of water and coffee, I heard one thing, and as soon as I ordered cocktails (for a fee) from 4 positions I was not mistaken in anything, but these are trifles. In general, the staff is friendly and smiling (as well as everything in Crete). Although the towels were changed only after you throw them on the floor and you had to ask for soap (again, little things).
From the excursions they took Fr. Santarinia is the most expensive, but it's worth it, I won't write about it. Much has been written about Santarinia (Fira). They took a car for 3 days, but not in a row, so that the vacation would not resemble the pursuit of novelty, they alternated. For this, we were given tickets to the Water Park, as a result, out of 11 days of our stay in Crete, we devoted only 3 days to the pure beach. In my opinion, after the Egyptian temples (they were in Luxor), the Cretan palaces and forts are rather boring (they were in Fort Rethymnia, the Palace of Knossos and the Malian Palace), it’s better to walk around their towns. I was very impressed by Agios Nikolaos, Rethymno and Agia Galinia (in the south of the island), unfortunately they did not have time to Chania. But we got to Palm Beach - a palm paradise..... impressive. In general, if someone had advised earlier, I would not waste time on palaces, but it would be better to walk along the streets.
From the local cuisine, I was impressed by frappe coffee (cold with ice), octopus, moussaka and chev salad. Although the taverns are not often visited because of the all-inclusive (on the eve of the trips, they ordered a lunch box).
Finally, I will say. In Crete everyone will find what he likes. If you are a TRAVELER, settle in the city, take excursions and cars, go and explore. If a beach holiday is closer to you, choose a hotel outside the city and enjoy the sea and the beach (by the way, about the beach), it is often rocky there or interspersed with stones. But the sea is interesting, of course it does not reach the Red Sea, but it is clearly more interesting than Turkish. T. Ch if you are not averse to diving with a mask, there you will also have something to see.
Well, you can also hang out there, there are discos, they start working from 01.00, but before 01.30 there is nothing to do there, admission is free, for some reason the prices bite there.
This is how I briefly threw it, but in general there are a lot of impressions and all are POSITIVE !!! ! If you have questions, you can contact

Rested in Golden Beach from 11 to 22 July 2011. The first impression of the hotel lobby was deceptive, perhaps only the hall corresponds to a 4-star hotel, for what merits and from what binge this hotel was awarded 4 stars, in fact, it remained a mystery to us!

Rested in Golden Beach from 11 to 22 July 2011.
The first impression of the hotel lobby was deceptive, perhaps only the hall corresponds to a 4-star hotel, for what merits and from what binge this hotel was awarded 4 stars, in fact, it remained a mystery to us!
Entering the room, and it was located on the 1st floor right next to the restaurant (although the restaurant is too strong a word! ). The firmly planted smell of mustiness and dampness did not leave us any chance to close the balcony door even for a minute. Another surprise was the bathroom - it was not just an old shower, but just a curtain with something in the form of a sink on the floor from which the water stubbornly did not want to come out, in order to wash your hair and not flood the bathroom, you had to take 2 to 3 breaks of 5 -7 minutes.
In such conditions, we lasted exactly half the time, the last straw was the tile that fell off the wall while taking a shower, which fell a centimeter from my foot!
After that, we were nevertheless generously moved to a room with more acceptable conditions, although there were broken bulbs and an air conditioner pouring water on the table.
It's also worth mentioning about the cleaning - cleaners have a habit of forgetting to change towels, so you have to gesture to remind them of this!
Food... with an assortment of the most TROUBLE! Fruit for breakfast and meat, grilled fish (well, or at least not stewed! ) - turned out to be an unaffordable luxury! On most days, the main thing is me “a la Beryozki boarding house” somewhere in Melekino. Although goodies are rare, but still met.
Also, do not expect to find a shower, toilet, changing room or even foot taps on the beach.
Of the pluses, it is worth noting the operational work of the staff, in case of complaints, problems were eliminated quickly, and the location is 3 minutes walk to the sea. EVERYTHING!

I didn’t like only: a bath or a shower (I didn’t understand what it was), there were no “do not disturb” signs, and the worst thing was the acoustics, you could hear every rattle, shuffling in the corridor, but after local discos this was no longer a problem. In general, it was good, the view was of the mountains, the room had a balcony, an air conditioner, there was a TV, a mini-fridge, cleaning every day, nothing was missing from the room.

In July 2010 rested in Crete city of Hersonissos hotel "Golden Beach" 3 * hotel justifies its star rating and even more. The hotel is located on the beach, 2 minutes walk, its own beach. On the roof of the hotel there is an excellent deep pool, and although it was written that it is open until 20:00, no one thinks to close it, so you can safely come to swim at least at night! The food is very good (buffet), we took breakfast and dinner.

On the roof of the hotel there is an excellent deep pool, and although it was written that it is open until 20:00, no one thinks to close it, so you can safely come to swim at least at night! The food is very good (buffet), we took breakfast and dinner. Of the free drinks, local beer, wine (which seemed strong to us), Coca-Cola, soda, fanta. For dessert there were always melons and watermelons. The hotel rooms are simple but good, cleaning was done daily. Our room overlooked the main street, at first I thought it would be noisy, but the double-glazed windows performed their function 100%. In the evening on the balcony (on which there is a table and two chairs) it is very pleasant to sit looking at the vacationers. The room has a shower room, a double bed, a regular TV (one Russian-language channel "Russia") and, of course, air conditioning. There is a magnetic key fob on the room keys that activates electrical appliances (it is forbidden to remove it from the keys) when you leave the air conditioner turned off, and in order to come from the heat to a cool room, we removed the key fob from the keys and left the conder on. I do not advise you to do this in the morning, as the rooms are cleaned before lunch. Not far from the hotel there is an entertaining youth beach "Golden Star" where a lot of entertainment including Jumping on an elastic band from a crane mast. On the bad - Expensive excursions that your professional guide will sell you. We took only one to Grmvusa as the object was very far away. We paid 150 euros for a guide for two. The guide hurried us, referring to the possible lack of places on the ship, since this excursion is by sea. Upon arrival at the port, we wondered how much a trip on a ship costs at the box office, we found out that the cost is 22 euros. Throughout Crete, car rental, motorcycle rental is very developed, the cost is from 15 euros per day, depending on the engine size. The arithmetic is simple 22 euros for a ship + 30 euros for a car and that for two people 74 euros, if you are relaxing with your family, the benefit is obvious. All excursions were visited independently by renting an ATV for 4 days for 27 euros (with full insurance) + gasoline. We visited Knossos Palace, Losseti Plateau and Peshara Zeus, Agios Nikolaos, Spinalonga. Most importantly, we didn’t drive along the central roads, which allowed us to see not a resort, but rural Greece and many such places where excursions are not carried out (a map from the water park’s advertising booklet that you are given upon arrival is enough to travel). There is no need to be afraid of getting lost. There are signs on the roads even in the middle of nowhere and along the way, signs to the sights. The local population is friendly, hospitable and friendly people! If you have a driver's license, feel free to take transport and visit all the excursions on your own, you will see much more than sitting on the bus. Almost every place of excursions has a Russian-speaking guide. I will not describe the places of excursions, since their descriptions are enough, I will say one of the greatest impressions was the trip to the Losseti plateau, driving for a long time along the serpentine among the rocks and cliffs, a view of the paradise plain surrounded by mountains. Filled with greenery, it meets you with clean cool air. It feels like the mountains separate this place from the surrounding world from its worries, problems, fuss and life here flows slowly like pure spring water and time seems to have stopped. I am very pleased with the trip and received a lot of impressions. For those who will take an ATV for two, take it with a volume of at least 150 cubic meters (they took less weak pulls).

The hotel is for democratic-minded tourists. For those who care about the fountain in the foyer, he agrees to pay for it, not here. There are household imperfections. The cuisine is good, you are in Greece! people with an incorruptible soul and at the same time Europeans. Pay attention to the confusion about this hotel.

The information that it is 6 km from Rethymnon is about another hotel! This one is in Hersonissos and the photo with a small bay-beach is right here. I must say that there is tension with the coast for the beach in Crete. In Chersonesos, that's for sure. There is a problem for the Russian soul accustomed to open space. In this sense, Rethymno is advertised. I will definitely go. fell in love with this divine land where everything breathes grace

We went in July 2007. This was my first trip through a tour operator, usually I prefer to organize everything myself. After a long conversation with the operator, I chose this hotel on the recommendation . . The hotel is something with something, especially the staff. The location is good, near the sea and direct access to the main street. On this, all the advantages of the hotel ended for me. There were 4 of us, we took 1 doble and 2 singles, the numbers did not differ in principle. The most slow-moving rooms are on the 1st and 2nd floors, which we got, as it turned out later, there is also a basement floor. where only standing you can see the line of the sidewalk. After 3 days, some managed to change rooms and having received rooms on the top floor, they were incredibly pleased with the view of the power poles. The rooms are dirty, especially the bathroom. curtains with mold on the soul, a pallet in the sand and a ceiling in black spots. The food is tasteless, they ate mainly watermelons. The beach next to the hotel is small, during the day it is already difficult to find a free place. At any appeal to the staff did not receive intelligible hotels.
Despite these small troubles, thanks to the company and the program, the rest turned out to be superb. At 7 minutes from the hotel there is a large hotel complex where fun discos are held on the beach with foam, and behind the main street a number of discos for every taste and color.

Travel agency: "Neva"
Hotel: “Golden Beach” in Hersonissos

Hotel "Golden Beach" in Hersonissos (I emphasize, it is in Hersonissos; there are 2 hotels with this name in Crete, and in general 3 in Greece) - a good, solid C grade. The people who visited Turkey before the trip to Crete had a lot of complaints, and we, the newcomers, were completely satisfied with it. The main thing is to decide what you want; after all, Hersonissos is not a place where you can stay in a hotel all the time.
The hotel has a swimming pool located on the roof, a couple of meters by a couple of meters, we never swam there. Table tennis and billiards are available, both are paid.
The rooms are clean, cleaning every day, change of linen - every two days. The room has:
• An air conditioner that is set so that when you lie on the bed it blows on your head.
• A small TV, about 14 inches, which broadcasts the ORT channel, the rest are in Greek.
• Phone, which is only convenient to contact friends from other rooms, since calling from it to Russia is expensive.
• Small refrigerator for beer.
• Toilet and bath or shower - combined. The bath itself is very small and uncomfortable, you can not lie in it. Much better if you come across a shower stall.
The disadvantages include the lack of ventilation in the room, for some reason it is customary in Greece.
Now about food.
Schedule:
Breakfast: 7.00 – 9.30
Dinner: 18.40 – 21.30
The dining room is cozy, and the most important thing in it is the presence of a terrace overlooking the sea, but with a limited number of tables. Meals - buffet. The food is good, despite the monotonous breakfast. For breakfast, they give either eggs, or scrambled eggs, or scrambled eggs, sausages, cheese, sausage, cake, tea, coffee, juices (powdered). Crete has delicious bread. For dinner, depending on the number of visitors, the variety of dishes varies. There are pasta, potato dishes, meat, fish, stuffed tomatoes, always a few salads, a sea of vegetables and something tasty for dessert. Tea, coffee and other drinks are chargeable. But we brought it with us - no one objected, the main thing is not to get too impudent and at least sometimes buy from them.
The staff, as in all Greece, friendly and sociable.
Almost everything on the territory of the hotel is paid:
• Billiards, table tennis: 4.5 euros per hour, 2.5 euros for half an hour
• Safe: 2.5 euros per day, 17 euros per week
• Sunbed: 2.5 euros per day
That's all about the hotel. A full review of the trip to the island of Crete is available at http://www. nakrit. by. ru.
