We rested at the Peninsula Resort & Spa with a friend at the end of May last year. Soon it will be spring again, so I want to write a review and recommend this hotel for spring holidays. I must say right away that this hotel is more suitable for families and people who are looking for a more relaxing holiday. We traveled more to hang out and miscalculated a bit. The very location of the hotel, and the neighboring village is very beautiful, especially the gorgeous view from the hotel to the village at night, when all the buildings built on the mountainside light up.
The drive to the hotel is not long from Heraklion, the capital of the island, a shuttle bus runs directly to the hotel reception. A bus ticket costs 2 euros, the schedule can be checked at the reception, where they speak English, or from a Russian-speaking hotel guide. Victoria helped us, thank you very much for her good advice and valuable tips. We rested in Crete for the first time and did not even imagine that this is such an amazing beautiful island and there is so much to see here. In general, instead of clubs, we went on excursions and never regretted it. We especially liked the towns of Chania and Rethymno, original, medieval, I advise everyone to definitely go there. I was also very impressed with the excursion to the island of Spinalonga, I never thought that somewhere I could be surprised by such a beautiful color of water and a gorgeous view from a medieval fortress. In general, we spent three days out of seven on trips, and never regretted it. It was possible to order breakfast at the hotel, we were fed on excursions, and in the evening we had dinner at the hotel. I also really liked the food at the hotel, the only thing is that the breakfast was a bit monotonous, I don’t eat scrambled eggs, except for Greek yogurt with honey, I didn’t try almost anything. But lunch and dinner is a completely different matter: there was always a choice of several types of meat, something from seafood, a variety of salads, fruits, wine. Once we got to the evening of sea cuisine, I, as a lover of fish, was very pleased. The chef at this hotel is Italian, I, unfortunately, did not remember his name, but I would like to convey special thanks to him. The risotto and pasta have always been excellent! And in general, he liked to arrange a culinary performance at the bar in the evenings and cook something tasty on the grill? In the evenings, we were also always entertained here, though only in French or English. In general, we were satisfied with the rest, although initially we were counting on a slightly different format.
