Май 2013 СУПЕР ОТЕЛЬ, РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!!!! May 2013 SUPER HOTEL, RECOMMEND!!!!

May 26 returned from Greece, Crete, the village of Sisi near Malia. Been there since May 17th. For a long time they tormented the tour operator with the choice of a hotel, and settled on Grecotel Meli Palace 4 *. We went for 10 days, it would be better for 2 weeks: cry_ing:
I chose a quiet and family hotel, for children. I am delighted with the country and the hotel. We traveled together with my daughter Mashulka 4.5 years old, so very good. worried about getting lost, etc. I met a girl with a Millennium sign at Heraklion airport, they said which bus to go to. We arrived well, looked at other hotels along the way =) We met super at the hotel, Andrei is a Russian-speaking guy, took the suitcase to the room, Anna-Maria, an amazing girl, also Russian-speaking, told and showed everything. I was very worried about the fact that the settlement was at 2 pm, but we arrived early, somewhere at 9-10 in the morning, while we ate, the room was already ready. And so the rest began : p_a-r_t_y: .
Room: 222 on the 3rd floor, overlooking the sea (on the right) and mountains (on the left and right), well-groomed, clean, the furniture is normal, the double room had one huge bed and one one and a half. The room was cleaned every day. The bed was also changed daily. There is a hair dryer and shampoo and shower gel in the room, a refrigerator with a bottle of water, which can then be replenished in coolers, a safe, I gave 10 euros, they gave me the key to the safe, returned the key at the end of the holiday and returned the money to me. TV, table and chairs on the balcony. Satisfied with the number.

Restaurant and food. :
Meals breakfast 7.30-10.30
lunch 12.30-14.30
dinner 18.30-21.00
something like this, there was always a place to eat during the day
The restaurant is the main one, the food is varied, there are a lot of fish, various meats, fruits, vegetables, milk, cheeses, etc. a good choice. A 4.5 year old child can be fed. I didn’t see baby food separately, there was a table, but there was no food there, maybe later I don’t know. But my child ate. You can almost always have a bite to eat in a bar near the beach. Ice cream is very tasty : co_ol: , ate and ate, expanse for children. The pie is very tasty, in general, a feast of the stomach =). There is also another restaurant, you need to order a table and food on Tuesday or Thursday, we didn’t get in because I rushed in late. But I didn’t get upset =)
Beach, territory and weather: ] Nice beach, clean, pebbles on one side, sand on the other, the entrance is first sand, then stones, a little stones strained but did not spoil the impression of the rest. I was very worried that we were going early. We were very lucky, not a lot of people, the hotel is not crowded, it's hot, the sea is warm and clean. Sometimes it stormed but not for long. The beach is located in a bay, so it's generally cool, the water warms up faster. Masha is my thermometer, she almost did not climb out from the sea. Sun loungers and towels free of charge. The territory is not large, clean, well-groomed, moderately green, which gave a feeling of comfort and were not afraid to let the children run around the territory, the children were in sight.
[b] Animation team [/ b] just SUPER, I'm just delighted, almost all Russian speakers, my child was delighted with the kids club and animator Christina, mini disco, I am delighted with the evening programs in the amphitheater. Costumes, programs, super, very talented guys. Throughout the day, fitness, beach volleyball, dancing, etc.

The hotel is located in the middle of nowhere, there are no hotels nearby, 2 km to the village of Sisi, about 5-10 km to Malia, 45 km to Heraklion. That's why you don't really go to the store =))). But we didn’t need it, there is a mini market on the territory of the hotel with creams, hats, shoes, etc. Who travels with a family and drives a car is not a problem at all, car rental is 40 euros a day and if it’s cheaper for more days. But for some reason the beauty around the hotel, the mountains and the sea, class. The hotel is quiet, not for parties, family, children. [b]The hotel staff is just SUPER[/b], hospitable and always helpful, very helpful.
The people in the hotel are from different countries, Germans, Italians, Americans, Ukrainians and, of course, Russians. But everything was civil and good. Somehow she left the camera at the concert "Greek evening" (singing mmmmm and playing : co_ol: ) on the territory of the hotel, returned and gave it to me. Holidays in Crete with children are the best, many villas and apartments are for rent. I am very satisfied with the choice of the hotel and would like to visit again. Leaving my vacation for a long time, I didn’t cry, this time I sobbed aaaa that I say goodbye to such a vacation and new friends
]Who travels to Greece without children, I advise you to visit Santorini, an island of unusual beauty. We got to Malia by taxi 15 euros, (to Heraklion a taxi 60 euros, I decided to save money =)) took a bus to Heraklion at stop number 33, my daughter was free, I paid 3 euros. In Heraklion, they came to the port, bought a ferry ticket, a round-trip ticket for me 120 euros, my daughter is free (4.5 years). I planned to go back the next day, but there were no tickets for the ferry. I had to gallop....The ferry sailed for 2.5 hours, with a child in general a very tiring road. We arrived at Santorini, beauty, where we were met by friends, and they also took us to the city of Oia. How beautiful it is there . . despite our fatigue and heat, I got a lot of pleasure. You need to go to Santorini on an excursion only in May or September, even in May it was VERY hot for us. We looked at the beauties and went with my daughter to Crete, well, we were very tired, but I was very impressed . . Masha, of course, is still too early to watch this =).
I'll post a photo later
Greece left a very big mark in my heart.....and the choice of the hotel played a big role, of course, I recommend. . .
