We were in Crete in mid-May, resting with a family with 2 children (5 and 7 years old) at the Aldemar Cretan Village. They settled us quickly, there were no problems, and this is very important after a long flight, and especially when you are relaxing with children.

Separately, I would like to note the food - very varied and tasty, for children there is a special children's restaurant. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The animation is beyond praise, and especially for children, our guys were busy with something all day long. The beach was a little disappointing, for children it is better to buy special shoes, although the pebbles are small, it was still not very comfortable, we love sandy beaches more, however, there are 5 pools on the territory of the hotel, the central one with sea water - so we bought plenty. Upon arrival, we were given a coupon for a free visit to the Ala Carte tavern, we really liked it - live music, delicious dishes - it was a very nice bonus. We also went to the territory of other Aldemars, in Royal Mare there is a very good playground. Adult animation is rather weak, but this is due to the fact that there were not so many vacationers yet.
From excursions we took "Children's Fun", where we visited a park with dinosaurs, an aquarium and a foundry - for children, about the same age as ours, this is what we need! Not tiresome, interesting and informative. We also went to Spinalonga - this is an excursion for the whole family. Everyone was interested, the children were not tired at all, they did not even sleep on the bus, although the tour was for the whole day. In general, the impressions of the rest are the best, I recommend this hotel to everyone, and our family will definitely return more than once!

Hello! This summer we rested with our daughter Arishka (9 years old) on about. Crete at ? ldemar Cretan Village. Good hotel for families with children. Not far from the airport and from the village of Hersonissos. The hotel has an excellent number of rooms, we had a bungalow on the first coastline (room 156, in my opinion) - a nice bright room on the second floor, two single beds, a wardrobe, a bedside table, bath accessories, and most importantly, a great view of the sea and the beach side by side.

I will go straight to the beach, the entrance to the sea is rocky, I advise you to have slippers for swimming, but there is not a large sandy path near the pier. My daughter and I used to swim there. The sea is excellent - clean, transparent, there were small waves, but my daughter and I "rolled" on them. On the territory there are also pools with sea water, a slide and water sports, we rode a catamaran, for all-inclusive guests they are free. As for food, a good Veranda restaurant - a large selection of dishes for breakfast: cereals, fried eggs, pancakes, vegetables, yogurt, cereals - and for lunch: soups, meat, fish, casseroles, local dishes - and for dinner: a dish from chef, salads, meat, fish, grilled vegetables, desserts, ice cream. For those who like to eat a lot on the territory, past the main restaurant, there is a snack bar and a beach bar (usually at lunchtime. There are a la card restaurants: La Pergola tavern and a beach bar. My daughter and I liked the tavern, there is live music, our table was directly overlooking the sea, delicious rack of lamb and desserts. I would like to note a good animation program, the guys are just great, they never sit, my daughter participated in everything and darts and water aerobics, yoga, even volleyball. In the evenings of all we remember the fire show, sooooo beautiful. There is also a kids club on the territory, but Arishka didn’t go, there were younger kids. Wi-fi operates throughout the territory, but a bad connection, we bought for three days for 21 euros, we had We went on an excursion to the Dinosaur Park, an aquarium and a foundry, the daughter was delighted with the last place, we ourselves made an owl with her from onzy and took it as a keepsake. We didn’t go out anymore, as we were only five days away and most of all we wanted to lie on the beach. We really liked the hotel, thanks to all the staff and the host, excellent area, everything is close, we will definitely come again to get to know the history of this unique place in more detail.

For the past 3 years, my family and I have been visiting the island of Crete. And for the third year we have been staying at the Aldemar Cretan Village. In my opinion, it is the best for a family vacation!!! ! Good rooms - for a reasonable price, maids clean the room every day and change towels, the plumbing is working, although the air conditioners are junk, but you contact the reception and the problem is quickly eliminated.

Good rooms - for a reasonable price, maids clean the room every day and change towels, the plumbing is working, although the air conditioners are junk, but you contact the reception and the problem is quickly eliminated. Green area, there is a place to walk and frolic for the kids. Children's pools, a water slide that does not leave any child indifferent. The beach is not bad, the main thing is to stock up on swimming slippers to make it more comfortable to go into the sea. The sea is gorgeous, clean, no sea urchins, and this is very important!!! ! The animation program is different every day: live music, fire shows, various performances, karaoke, and for the little guests a daily mini-disco. There is also a kids club where you can leave your children (4-12 years old). Or if you are going on an excursion, the hotel has a babysitting service (13€/hour). The food is normal, although the breakfast is monotonous, but for dinner there is always a choice between several types of meat and fish. Very tasty desserts! We visit this wonderful place every year and I'm sure this year was not the last!!! !

Go and don't listen to anyone. The hotel is European but with the manners of Turkey. Close to airport, Free shuttle to town! (taxi 7 euros). You can freely enter the territory of neighboring hotels. The long beach has enough space for everyone, there are 8 pools !! ! (including 3 for children) a long slide 75m (whoever loves will understand me).

If it weren’t for our people occupying sunbeds from the very morning with towels, although there are so many places and sunbeds...... that everyone would probably get two for sure. Food. . . a lot of things, but the variety did not suffer much. fruits strawberries eat as much as you like, olives. Beer, wine, pour yourself..... I repeat a huge green area. Excellent hotel .

Far from the first time we have a rest on the island of Crete. Perhaps one of the best hotels for a good rest with the family. Very tasty and varied food. Special thanks to Chef Manolis for this. Very friendly staff. All other details can be seen on the website, it is completely true. Nicholas.

The hotel is very close to Heraklion airport, only 30 minutes by bus (with 2 stops at other hotels). We were settled pretty quickly (there were free rooms, May is not the season). The room is very strange! And that's putting it mildly! The double bed is about one and a half meters wide, really little space if one is used to a normal wide one.

The hotel is very close to Heraklion airport, only 30 minutes by bus (with 2 stops at other hotels).
We were settled pretty quickly (there were free rooms, May is not the season).
The room is very strange! And that's putting it mildly!
The double bed is about one and a half meters wide, really little space if one is used to a normal wide one. She's also up against the wall! And the walls in the room are concrete and plaster - it is very unpleasant to be near it, and since there is not enough space, you touch it all the time and wake up at night. The pillow also lies on the same concrete (the bed itself is only slats and there is a mattress on them). It’s also a problem with an extra bed, we were with a child and wake up several times during the night to move him away from the ice wall. Instead of a bedside table, too, CONCRETE!!!
With the light in the evening, the trouble is a couple of lamps and it is very dark. The safe is paid, but it does not matter - 20 euros for 7 days and you get the key.
The bathroom is normal clean, cleaned normally, a hair dryer (for some reason not in the bathroom, but in the main room) dries quickly.
For whom food is important, you are traveling with a child (ours is about 4) and have been in other normal hotels, it is better to stay at home!!!
The food is very monotonous, for breakfast eggs (burnt scrambled eggs, burnt scrambled eggs and boiled), sausages, bacon, barley and rice milk porridge, pancakes and muesli. There were days the omelet was not burnt and they gave the baby, sausages are not tasty for the child. There are good biscuits (their pastries are generally delicious).
At lunch we ate soup, meat and cucumbers!! ! With salads they strained!
There were strawberries and watermelon - delicious!
In the evening, too, but without soup.
I don’t know who might like this food, probably people who have vacationed earlier in Turkey. We are in Greece 3 times we have something to compare! This is the worst hotel we've been to.
The territory of the hotel is good, large, there is where to walk. The playground is small, but there is a nearby hotel, the same Aldemar chain, 2 minutes walk and you are on a large playground with slides and a pool. The beach is large, but covered in dry algae, gobies, sugar bags. Even a broken plastic spoon was seen. Maybe they haven't cleaned it yet after the winter, but it's very dirty!
Car rental at the hotel is more expensive, but there are a lot of offers nearby from 50 euros, with a machine gun from 60.
We rode on a local train (a machine with wagons) in Hersonissos - the child was happy, 1.5 hours on the way 10 euros per person.
We went to the a la carte restaurant - it's something !!!!!
We got a call and were invited to dinner at 19.00.
We clarified what main dish we would eat meat or fish, ordered meat and fish for me and my husband.
They said that there is a children's menu: cheeseburger, hamburger, french fries!!!!!! ! I'm in shock, because I'm trying not to feed my child like that yet.
We ordered potatoes, she was with chicken, we decided that she would eat from our plates.
They came at 7, and there was a queue, they went in already at 7.40 the child was reimbursed why they were not allowed to eat ???
We were seated at tables (one at a time and very slowly)
At 8.40 !!!! ! brought a snack - RISOTTO!!! ! The poor child ate a bun before that and lost interest in food!
Risotto with mushrooms, and the children too, an hour later the child will have potatoes (after reminders), and later we will have food. At this time, simple SOVIET PEOPLE managed to pretty much eat wine and began to dance, so the music was lively and good, one citizen with a St. George ribbon on his jacket almost dropped his companion on our table))))
And, finally, for whom it is important that in the hotel 80 percent of Russian-speaking vacationers (Russians and Ukrainians) behave accordingly after 100 gr. brandy, go to another hotel!!!! ! When you look ashamed of your compatriots, you get the impression that you only came for a drink.
If you have already bought a ticket, then do not worry too much, nothing bad will happen to you!
But if you have a choice, then the Grekotel hotel chain is better!!! ! (there are more foreigners resting, behave more decently)!!!
Good luck! There will be questions about holidays with children - write!

To begin with, in short, the hotel is a solid four. There are few cons. We were at the beginning of September 2013 a company of 7 people with 3 children (9 years old, 7 years old and 3 years old). Fly with peace of mind to this hotel. You will be happy! Now everything is in order.... Tour operator Coral Travel-buses you guys killed is quite mildly speaking.

Now everything is in order....
Tour operator Coral Travel-buses you guys killed is quite mildly speaking. Take an example from Mouzenidis travel (they flew last year).
Flight "UTair" - every time I fly with this company - constant flight delays. How can I not want to fly them next time, but apparently I have to... but the takeoff and landing is soft - respect to the commander of the aircraft Ponamorenko Dmitry !!!
The island of Crete itself was little impressed. Bald. Big and it seemed dirty to me. There were many places. The farther from the resort, the dustier and poorer the areas. But it’s still interesting. .
Sea-sheep))) I would even say sometimes))) but we knew that Crete is a windy island, so I won’t get too excited. The entrance to the sea at the hotel is not ice. ! drives a lot of algae - about several tons a day - so they are raked by a tractor))) if you move away from the hotel a little to the right to Aldemar Royal Mare, then right in front of it there is an artificial slab - it's calmer there, but the slab itself is hefty slippery - be careful after a liter) ) fly away into the depths of the sea)))
We flew to the hotel in the evening and the rooms (we had two of them) were given to us immediately. 302 for 4 people and 355 for three people. The rooms were in the same building. stone. oldish. dark. bathroom is more or less fresh. but my wife quite liked the room... the fridge is empty (by the way, they didn’t bring more than one bottle of water throughout the rest! ) There was wine on arrival, but it remained there. we do not drink dry))) The hotel area is beautiful, green, clean and well-groomed.
Cleaning in the room is very conditional, I would say. But this is not the main thing in the rest. .
Food, well, I don’t know damn it... adults left restaurants like penguins! Everyone recovered in 11 days. All those who go to a 4-star hotel to eat free lobsters, I’ll personally tell you this - “you didn’t eat them at home, don’t eat here either! "For this does not happen. And in Gretana they are fed very decently. Meat is delicious. Pasta. Fish. Lamb. Rabbit. Pigs. Pastries and. Fruits. Everything is in normal abundance. Greenish melons, yes, but this is not fatal. minus one for me in food is a lot of uncleaned dirty tables (there is service in restaurants and they work quickly and well, but there are obviously few of them for so many people) sometimes you come and sit somewhere, but not because people are sitting, but from for the fact that the tables are with dirty dishes. the problem is solved in this way - you approach the staff and point your finger at the table you want to sit at. 2-3 minutes and the table is cleared. if you come half an hour before the end of the meal, you may not try some dishes - they simply don’t put them on anymore. Once there were snails, but I personally didn’t have time, within an hour and x is no more ((and this is perhaps the only complaint from me personally to the hotel. well, it’s not nice for me to eat when there are dirty tables around !!! )
The pools are clean. Cleaned with us 2 times. And the fact that the children go from the beach with ops in the sand like their parents and with a sense of peace plunge into the pool, not deigning to wash off the sand before that, then this is sorry, not a hotel problem . in such cases, I always advise like this - if you are a redneck, then nothing will help you. sea like all normal vacationers.
Animation-everything is fine. no complaints. the guys work with a bang! feel the team spirit. someone said they will send! yes. it happens. but only after the children's disco. the problem is solved simply-you get up and leave the performance in any other corner of the hotel. good area big and there is a place to go. fire show-respect! Mr. Gretan Village - I liked it! Sometimes we went to water aerobics in the neighboring Aldemar Royal Mare 5 stars - I liked it very much! the girl "CHEF" burns! ))) Then the cocktail game is cool and fun. animators, as I understand it, almost all are common in two hotels. but the bar is paid there. beer and cocktails are much tastier than in gretan (well, of course) beer glass-5 euros. cocktail-8 euros. the hotel is also very beautiful and big. but there are more relax. BY THE WAY, THE SPA IN IT IS VERY GORGEOUS. WE VISITED BUT NOT FROM CHEAP I SAY IMMEDIATELY! were in the same hotel for a cooking lesson from the chef. It takes place on Saturdays at 12 noon.
Excursions - I have not been on more than one. my parents were on a trip "Orthodox Crete" in the Lassithi valley. I liked it. rented a car - from 40 euros and up to 300 per day for a Mercedes Cabrio in a new body. The cars are mostly worn out already. So before you take it, take a closer look. Rent a scooter from 25 euros. !! ! do not rush to take a car right away - the choice of rental is huge! I recommend that as soon as you leave the hotel, go through the first rental on the right (grandfather sells junk at crazy prices) and go up the hill to the intersection and on it to the left. You will see the sign for the car rental "Master" . here there are better cars. the owner Misha (similar to our Galustyan) speaks Russian no worse than me. cheerful. navigator in Russian is only 5 euros plus. from 50 euros for 15 min. Parachute-1 person 60 euros. 2 people 90.3 people 120. photo arashut 20 euros per disc. We rode to the village of Miriokefala (Greek. Μ υ ρ ι ο κ έ φ α λ α ) is a village in the municipality of Rethymno, for an Orthodox holiday. far, but interesting. mostly only locals. I think several thousand people come to the holiday a day. some walk several kilometers in the mountains !! ! such a custom)
Crete-aquarium-can be visited. Not far by car. Waterpark water park is also nearby. We were also in Aquaplus-water park a little smaller, but also liked it. minutes! ) for little ones, and for parents, we highly recommend a labyrinth game (you need to collect all the seals and find a way out) mini golf, mini safari for small ones (electric cars) and a mini zoo. It is inexpensive.
Hersonissus city-life is in full swing. Especially towards evening. A bunch of shops with cosmetics, souvenirs, supermarkets, etc. , etc. From the hotel, by the way, a train goes to the city. The schedule can be seen at the entrance to the lobby. There is also a bus schedule to Heraklion. We were in the city of Heraklion. I liked it. embankment. Well, of course, shops and all that!
There is a right next to the hotel. church for anyone interested. 200 meters from the hotel up and 300 to the right down and in place. service at 8 am local time.
Extension of the room is possible - 40 euros. but if there are free rooms. the hotel is just crowded !! ! but we were lucky, one room was extended to us. what time did you arrive in the morning. the hotel is full and no one will be evicted from the room instead of you !!! ! so calculate your arrival at the hotel by lunchtime)))
Heraklion Airport is small. Someone scared me with bad duty free nonsense. Excellent, on the second floor! buy everything in it. the choice is huge.
NOW THE MINUS OF THE HOTEL BEHIND THE DIRTY TABLES.
IN THE LOWER PART OF THE HOTEL WHERE WE HAVE ROOM IS A VERY COZY AND BEAUTIFUL PLACE, BUT THE STAKE OF THE SEWER IS INCREDIBLE IN THE EVENINGS.
In all other respects, there are no complaints about the hotel. To the staff too. ! ! FOR THE MOOD!! ! FOR THE CARE!!!
Will we return again? -no) but not because we didn’t like it, but because we don’t go to the same places))) especially in Greece there are a lot of them !! ! will we go to any other hotel of the chain Aldemar? -Yes!
P. S. BELOW I APPLY A PHOTO FROM THE RECREATION, AND ALSO INFO ON RENTAL AND EXCURSIONS WITH PRICES.
And advice to all the Counts Kozyavkin, who write all sorts of crap about the hotel, and indeed to everyone, before flying on vacation, do not forget to take a good mood with you and, as the Animators at the Aldemar hotel say, "Smile)" !!! ! and you will happiness!!!
Have a good rest everyone)

I think several thousand people come to the holiday a day. some walk several kilometers in the mountains !! ! such a custom)
Crete-aquarium-can be visited. Not far by car. Waterpark water park is also nearby. We were also in Aquaplus-water park a little smaller, but also liked it. minutes! ) for little ones, and for parents, we highly recommend a labyrinth game (you need to collect all the seals and find a way out) mini golf, mini safari for small ones (electric cars) and a mini zoo. It is inexpensive.
Hersonissus city-life is in full swing. Especially towards evening. A bunch of shops with cosmetics, souvenirs, supermarkets, etc. , etc. From the hotel, by the way, a train goes to the city. The schedule can be seen at the entrance to the lobby. There is also a bus schedule to Heraklion. We were in the city of Heraklion. I liked it. embankment. Well, of course, shops and all that!
There is a right next to the hotel. church for anyone interested. 200 meters from the hotel up and 300 to the right down and in place. service at 8 am local time.
Extension of the room is possible - 40 euros. but if there are free rooms. the hotel is just crowded !! ! but we were lucky, one room was extended to us. what time did you arrive in the morning. the hotel is full and no one will be evicted from the room instead of you !!! ! so calculate your arrival at the hotel by lunchtime)))
Heraklion Airport is small. Someone scared me with bad duty free nonsense. Excellent, on the second floor! buy everything in it. the choice is huge.
NOW THE MINUS OF THE HOTEL BEHIND THE DIRTY TABLES.
IN THE LOWER PART OF THE HOTEL WHERE WE HAVE ROOM IS A VERY COZY AND BEAUTIFUL PLACE, BUT THE STAKE OF THE SEWER IS INCREDIBLE IN THE EVENINGS.
In all other respects, there are no complaints about the hotel. To the staff too. ! ! FOR THE MOOD!! ! FOR THE CARE!!!
Will we return again? -no) but not because we didn’t like it, but because we don’t go to the same places))) especially in Greece there are a lot of them !! ! will we go to any other hotel of the chain Aldemar? -Yes!
P. S. BELOW I APPLY A PHOTO FROM THE RECREATION, AND ALSO INFO ON RENTAL AND EXCURSIONS WITH PRICES.
And advice to all the Counts Kozyavkin, who write all sorts of crap about the hotel, and indeed to everyone, before flying on vacation, do not forget to take a good mood with you and, as the Animators at the Aldemar hotel say, "Smile)" !!! ! and you will happiness!!!
Have a good rest everyone)

Good day to all) I went to Greece with my mother and her friend. we were deeply impressed. we all really enjoyed it! Of course, nothing is perfect, but there are much more positive emotions. The grounds of the hotel are amazing! everything is fine, clean and tidy. the staff is polite and helpful. food is completely different.

Good day to all) I went to Greece with my mother and her friend. we were deeply impressed. we all really enjoyed it! Of course, nothing is perfect, but there are much more positive emotions. The grounds of the hotel are amazing! everything is fine, clean and tidy. the staff is polite and helpful. food is completely different. I want to try everything at once. everyone will find something to their liking. many sweets, meat assortment is very extensive. fish though not local, but still very tasty. The animation team was amazing! guys are amazing!! ! very friendly and sociable. none of the guests were deprived of their attention. Every evening there are different shows. musicals or humorous sketches. The guys are great at dancing. numbers are very interesting. we were also lucky enough to get on their fire show! it left an indelible impression on us! do not have professional training animators work with fire. very beautiful and effective! it's hard to forget that. animators have always been involved with small children, so the children do not interfere or annoy. True, we had a small problem, which became the only negative in our vacation. one evening we returned to our room, and then in our room. immediately contacted the receptionist. there were no Russian speakers at night. but I know English well and easily explained the whole situation. The master came to us in a couple of minutes. Unfortunately, the problem could not be fixed. we were immediately given another room. As soon as we collected our things, the porter came and helped us move them to another room. The whole problem was solved in a maximum of half an hour. this is the only thing that spoiled the holiday. beach for an amateur, under the feet of large stones. we got used to them after a few days, and sometimes we swam into the sea from the pier. if this is a problem, you can wear either special slippers or take a walk to the neighboring beach, where the entry is without stones (10-15 minutes walk) for those who do not like the sea, a huge number of pools. the contingent is very different. many Russians, there was someone to talk to. the sun was gorgeous, the weather whispered. in general, we were very pleased with the rest. did not want to leave. when leaving even tears welled up in my eyes! I really want to go back there again.
P. S. Have a good holiday to all future vacationers

Greece has exceptional nature! We got off the plane in Heraklion and wanted to live! And breathe! The air is saturated with ions! Not far from the runway / runway - the sea. Those who do not tolerate the heat very well - go to Greece! The air is humid and it is very easy to breathe, and it is + 35 outside. We arrived at the hotel quickly (we took a taxi), we were also accommodated very quickly (maybe because we arrived earlier than everyone else and a clean room was waiting for us).

We arrived at the hotel quickly (we took a taxi), we were also accommodated very quickly (maybe because we arrived earlier than everyone else and a clean room was waiting for us). The gentlemen from our flight arrived later than us and were sent to a nearby hotel to spend the night (but I would keep quiet if I were them - the neighboring hotel is a cool five !!! ). It even seemed to me for a second that it was Aldemar's policy to show an excellent five to tourists - maybe they will like it and they will come again next year, but immediately at 5 *. The territory of the hotel is very beautiful, blooming and landscaped, the paths are located very conveniently, so from any place - you will come where you need to and not get lost. Our room was on the first floor (family room) - I went with three children. Near the room there is a small space - a terrace with a table and chairs. I liked the food and so did the kids. . The selection of drinks is also nice. The entrance to the sea is not entirely successful - there are huge and smaller boulders and stones, but if you walk 10-15 minutes along the seashore to the right of the hotel - an amazing bay, there are not even waves! And walking along the seashore on a hot summer day is a pleasure! Animation for children liked the children. Every evening, the youngest was taken to the Mini Disco - right from dinner. Near the hotel there are supermarkets, there is a car rental, a shop with fur coats. I advise you to take a car in Hersonises, there the offers are more interesting, the cars are newer, the prices are cheaper. To the town of Hersonises, take a taxi for 5 minutes - 7 euros or by a free bus that runs from the hotel. Fur coats are also best to choose in the town, and do not listen to the sellers! Until the last store, look through everything and buy without headlong - the first thing that came across - but carefully choose and think and make a purchase only the next day. I chose a fur coat for two days. I went around all the shops and found in the last one (in my opinion - the best store) - Angelo, the owner of the store Janis - it seems that he lives right there. )))) Who loves good music - go to a disco in the town there is a very nice club - New York. Didn't want to leave. Everything was interesting and everyone liked it. We went with children to Aqua Park Aqua Plus - also by taxi without any group, it turns out cheaper. We also went on an excursion to the Palace of Knossos: the Platanos Origtalis tree, which is 2.200 years old, a small church in the village, the cave of Zeus (formed in the mountain after a volcanic eruption), a donkey drove us to this mountain, after - a pottery workshop, where children sculpt with a master on clay vases on a potter's wheel and take them home, then lunch in a tavern - very tasty !!! , after a convent, in honor of the icon of the Mother of God of the Heart. And finally, the Palace of Knossos itself! A very interesting tour, for three it cost 365 euros, but it was worth it! I advise everyone to Greece, they are very kind to the Russians, an Orthodox close-knit country, they treat each other and their guests with care. And two small flaws about the hotel - Wi-Fi does not catch well on the territory of the hotel, if you are waiting for an important email, you will connect every time you pass by the reception. And two times out of ten, the floors in the room were not washed very well - a lot of sand. But if the sand on the floor is so annoying - you can call 09 - and they will send a more experienced maid, she will fix everything. In general - everything is very very cool! I'll stick with Greece.

Good afternoon ! We rested with my family at the Aldemar Cretan Village at the end of July, bought a tour from Mouzenidis in Rostov . . We took the hotel on the advice of the manager, it turned out to be a very decent family network four, there is something to compare with. It was the first time in Greece, Crete was advised by friends - they were not disappointed! Be sure to go to Santorini, but not by ferry, but by air tour - much faster and more enjoyable.

It was the first time in Greece, Crete was advised by friends - they were not disappointed! Be sure to go to Santorini, but not by ferry, but by air tour - much faster and more enjoyable. The guide suggested that we visit Athens again, but in a week there were already many impressions put off for the next trip.
About the hotel - the territory of the hotel is not very big, but cozy.
Children have a place to run and frolic. We really liked that each pool had a separate section for children. Also, my child was delighted with the slide - all she needed.
I want to note the cons right away - firstly, the beach. The beach is sandy, but the entrance to the sea is stones, large stones. We immediately went and bought special slippers, but I still always worried about Alice so that they would not hit these stones. I highly recommend swimming from the pier, which is located on the left. There are steps on the pier that you can go down into the water. The water is clean, transparent, it was just gorgeous to swim with a mask, a lot of fish)) not Egypt, but also interesting.
I want to note the good animation of the hotel. The animation team consists of several people, and during the day and in the evening it was interesting to watch the program they presented. And of course the mini disco.
Every hotel has its pros and cons. The rooms are small and the beds don't move. The air conditioner worked intermittently.
The girls at the reception did not respond to all our requests to call a technician.
Also, of course, I would like a larger selection of dishes in the restaurant. Of course, in any country in the world, the same food is boring every day, but I would like the chefs to put more soul into cooking. Saved by taverns, tasty and not expensive.
In any case, we had positive impressions from the rest. We recommend this hotel for families with children and as a good economical option for holidays in Crete.
