We went to Greece, so to speak, with a large "Greek family", me, my husband, our parents, our 2 children and 2 nephews. We did not worry about anything, and calmly rested with our big company.

We went to Greece, so to speak, with a large "Greek family", me, my husband, our parents, our 2 children and 2 nephews. We did not worry about anything, and calmly rested with our big company. The hotel we have chosen is Ikaros. The rooms, again thanks to the travel agency, were all nearby. The hotel did not resist this desire. The rooms are all large, the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are excellent. Food! Very tasty and varied. There were a lot of us and everyone had different tastes, but none of our family said that he had nothing to choose from. All the food was praised and probably brought home a couple of extra pounds. The hotel also has swimming pools and they are all different, for different ages, children with slides. Children's animation was constantly working, the children had fun. The beach is good, sandy, the entrance to the water is excellent. The hotel proved to be very worthy, so we will definitely return here.

First, some lyrics. This trip was planned for a long time, since it was my old dream to see Greece, so I chose the hotel very meticulously. Now specifically for the hotel. The hotel stands on a rock, but it has just a unique and its own sandy beach, a very beautiful and constantly flowering area, paved with stone, with paths and arches, in the Greek style.

First, some lyrics. This trip was planned for a long time, since it was my old dream to see Greece, so I chose the hotel very meticulously. Now specifically for the hotel. The hotel stands on a rock, but it has just a unique and its own sandy beach, a very beautiful and constantly flowering area, paved with stone, with paths and arches, in the Greek style. There are four excellent pools for adults, and two more for children, all with fresh water. There are also their own shops, even a jewelry one, I could not resist and bought myself a bracelet)). From entertainment tennis courts, a volleyball court, water activities, and an amphitheater, which hosts an interesting evening animation. And there is just a chic separate area for romantic dinners and small parties. We arrived in the morning, we were immediately settled, although it was supposed to be at 14 o'clock. A pleasant Russian girl Irina works at the reception, who constantly helped us in everything, special thanks to her for her care and attention. Booked a Bungalow Deluxe with a garden view and a private pool and sunbeds. A small courtyard, lined with wild stone, a small fence and greenery. The suite itself is two-room, with a sofa in the living room and a huge bed in the bedroom. Finishing in a classic style, in white and blue tones, and wooden furniture in light brown. The room, as in principle throughout the territory, has free Wi-Fi Internet, has its own free safe, coffee / tea set, satellite TV with Russian channels, individual air conditioning and excellent shower cosmetics. As for cleaning, I can say that it is of the highest quality, and was carried out when we were not in the room. The towels are fluffy, the sheets were always crystal clean, even though they are changed on request, but this was not required. If we talk about the service, then it is of the highest level, starting with cleaning, and pumping waiters and masterpiece cuisine. I swim badly, rather afraid of the depths, and in this regard, the hotel was perfect for me here too. The beach is gentle, but not knee-deep. You can swim 150 meters, and there will be no special depth. It's great for kids to splash too. The water is such that you can see the bottom anywhere, from the shore itself, and at a depth. The beach is big, there was enough space for everyone. The cleanliness is perfect, in this regard, the whole hotel is like that. The sun loungers are comfortable, umbrellas, fine sand, in general, lovely. A separate chapter is nutrition. We took Al and it's amazing. All the restaurants of the hotel overlook the sea, well, how can you not enjoy it. Real restaurant food. Most of the products are locally produced, fresh and of the highest quality. At our request, the chef prepared a dish for us according to our personal request, excellent. We were able to dine for free in all the restaurants in the hotel, which we did with great success. The main restaurant changes its menu every day, and as it turned out, it is repeated only from 14 days, so we have not seen this. Themed evenings are held with Greek, Asian, Italian, Mexican, Cretan cuisines and even a seafood evening. A la Carte Ageri with a Mediterranean, Asian Sunset, surprised by the American-Italian En Lefko, a paradise intimate cozy corner with pavilions Prive, and two of the most stunning Uzeri sea taverns - Kafenio and gourmet restaurant Veranda. It makes no sense to describe everything that we tried, you have to feel it, but the dishes are amazing. The animation program is light, with live music and evening performances. No wild dances and noise. There is also a disco for kids, but also in a light version. The hotel has a complete relaxation, so for a noisy holiday you should not go here. It was the best holiday for me!

I want to share my impressions of the hotel. After returning, there was no time to write a review. Now I had a free minute, and I decided that I would definitely write how we spent time in Ikaros Beach. We rested with almost all of us. Mom, me with my husband and two children. We drove from the airport in about 40 minutes.

Now I had a free minute, and I decided that I would definitely write how we spent time in Ikaros Beach. We rested with almost all of us. Mom, me with my husband and two children. We drove from the airport in about 40 minutes. As soon as you get to the hotel, it seems that you have come to visit the VIP village for wealthy vacationers. The hotel is designed in this style. Instead of one building, many stone bungalows with their own streets. Lots of flowers and neatly trimmed greens. They settled us without waiting for the standard 14 hours. Our room was a family bungalow with access to the sea, with its own pool and sun loungers. Everything is just super organized. The hotel has good friendly staff. Everyone is polite, smiling and always trying to please you in everything. The bungalows were cleaned daily. Cleaning quality, regardless of the tip. The furniture is not loose, with comfortable mattresses. Folding sofa and extra bed for children. There was enough space for the whole family. Two rooms, shower. There is free Wi-Fi, safe, minibar, several Russian channels. The towels in the room were changed every day, and for beach towels you have to leave a deposit of 10 euros for each. We are not the first time in Crete, but we got to this hotel by accident.
The hotel has its own beach. Pleasant gentle entrance with soft fine sand. On the beach, sun loungers and umbrellas are free, but we often sunbathed next to our bungalow. The sea is friendly and warm. The waves were only a couple of days, but did not bring algae and jellyfish. Also, in addition to its small pool, there are many common ones on the territory. There are adults and children, as well as an indoor jacuzzi. The hotel provides excellent relaxing spa treatments. I tried almost everything with my mom. There is also a beautiful little church. You can also have fun playing tennis, or go to the sauna and gym. This is especially true after hearty lunches and dinners, as I was worried about extra pounds. I didn't want to bring home. As for the food, I can say that all the products were of very high quality, fresh and insanely delicious. I think there is no need to say that the tables were bursting with food. Ripe fruits, several types of meat and fish, various salads and vegetables, delicious cheeses and, of course, a wide range of seafood.

The hotel, as always, was chosen carefully and did not fail. We took a room with a shared pool for several rooms and a bungalow overlooking the garden. The sea was restless for 2 days, big waves, so the pool with the entrance directly from the terrace of the room was very handy. The hotel is generally quiet, the animation is modest.

I really liked the tennis coach Marek, a pleasant, active, cheerful young man. If you have older kids, be sure to give it a try. Special thanks to the chef, everything that is served to guests is not just tasty, but very tasty. Every day is themed. Great taverna on the beach. For those who love good food, this is the place for you!

The first hotel in which we went for the second time and did not regret it again. Perfect for families with children, clean sandy beach, minimal animation, polite staff. When it comes to nutrition, keep in mind that everything is prepared unsalted and not peppered, everyone adds it to taste. Big respect to Natalia at the reception, very nice to talk to.

Big respect to Natalia at the reception, very nice to talk to.
But the most important thing is a super SPA center with a sauna, a hammam and a swimming pool.
Therapist Michal (Michael) - highly recommend.
Solved the problems of my chronic sores with the shoulder girdle in two sessions.
Graduated from medical school in England.
What he does cannot be called a massage - this is a targeted definition of muscle problems and an impact on problem areas.
As a side effect of his treatment, snoring disappeared : )
The cost of the session is 85 euros.

I want to draw the attention of all who choose this hotel to the level of service. The surprises start right away. Instead of a pre-selected room, they put you with a smile into the darkest, most uncomfortable, with a dreary look, it’s not clear what. Naturally, we go to the reception to understand. The manager swears by all the most sacred that this is what is needed, and there is nothing else.

I want to draw the attention of all who choose this hotel to the level of service. The surprises start right away. Instead of a pre-selected room, they put you with a smile into the darkest, most uncomfortable, with a dreary look, it’s not clear what. Naturally, we go to the reception to understand. The manager swears by all the most sacred that this is what is needed, and there is nothing else. We make a polite but persistent scandal, as a result of which, after about 1.5 hours, we achieve accommodation in a normal room. The mood is ruined. In the process of dismantling and waiting, we met a young family of compatriots, they arrived 2 hours earlier, got the same situation when placing, they advised us to stand to the end. There were a lot of places in the hotel, but, apparently, they are trying to shove us Russians far away in order to have a reserve for Europeans, a kind of hidden discrimination. On the day of departure, a similar picture was observed: a young Russian woman with 2 children and a mother, who bought a tour from a well-known tour operator, with an expensive, large room, with a good view, stood at the reception in shock at the proposed small, dark room. How could I help with advice. I could not get the terrace to be wiped with something wet. In the period from 13.30 to 15.30 they tried to rest in the room from the heat, it was not always possible - cleaning was going on. Day 3, the lock on the door when closing worked only with a strong, loud slamming. They repaired it only after 3 repeated appeals, but rather, after complaints from neighbors. Otherwise, everything is fine: food, an atmosphere of complacency and slovenliness (in which the Greeks are very similar to us), weather, beach, crystal water and, of course, the island itself, which is a must to drive around (our rights are valid without international confirmation). The trip to Santorini is generally amazing. Mountain warm lake Kourna Lake is wonderful! Comparing with Cyprus, I will say the following: it is hotter there, the service and attitude are better, in my opinion, but Crete is more beautiful and interesting, and I explain the gouging of the Greek service by the fact that the influx of tourists from Europe is large, and some minor problems will be swallowed up in the process . In general, no matter what - all in Crete!

I really liked the hotel, of course there were little things that caused inconvenience. I'll start with nutrition. The breakfast buffet is rich in fresh pastries, jams, cereals. Lunch - I don't know. we had half board. For dinner there was a rich selection of meat and fish dishes, fresh fruits and vegetables, and desserts.

Lunch - I don't know. we had half board. For dinner there was a rich selection of meat and fish dishes, fresh fruits and vegetables, and desserts. The only thing is that we once ordered tea and waited for him for 20 minutes for some unknown reason.
Service. Towels were changed only 1 time in 10 days (((They cleaned every day, clean, made the bed. No complaints about this.
Entertainment. This is where the biggest problem was. The hotel has a team of animators who know how to provoke the audience, which they did successfully during the day (near the pool) and in the evening (on the stage). Every day there were some new programs. But there was nowhere to go outside the hotel - there were only bars with half-drunk youth around. We did not find normal discos there.
This is a fairly quiet hotel. Suitable for those who want a romantic getaway or a quiet getaway with the family. I don't recommend it to everyone else. : )
The hotel is made in the form of buildings of 1 and 2 floors. There are rooms with balconies and pools. Here for the design of the hotel I put a solid 5! It was a pleasure to walk around during the day and at night. Everywhere is very colorful and beautiful.

We rested together as part of the Santorini-Mykonos-Crete tour. The hotel is located on a wide sandy beach, very reminiscent of Anapa. For a long time, shallow, but very pleasantly, the water warms up and the sand is very gentle. 2 sun loungers and an umbrella - 5 Euro. By the pool - free of charge, towels - for a deposit.

The food is delicious and varied. Good coffee is served at breakfast. The rooms are interesting and stylishly furnished. But there is one big BUT. The hotel has a disgusting air conditioning system. You can get into a bungalow where the air conditioner only drives warm air, because. there is not enough capacity of the system to supply cold water. We had to change a great big family bungalow overlooking the sea for a small house with a view. . . July after all. The air conditioner worked there, but from 3 am to 8 am they turned it off, apparently to save money. I had to get up and open the window. Here is such a thing. If that doesn't bother you, then everything else is fine.
