Мнение придирчивого туриста и бывшего работника турагенства повидавшего многое The opinion of a picky tourist and a former travel agency employee who has seen a lot

Really good infrastructure, but it would not hurt to invest in refurbishing the rooms, as they do not correspond to the declared 5 stars. The host's guide did not bother to tell us who and what time would arrive to take us back to the airport.

The kitchen is good, the room service too, if you do not count the maids who come for dirty dishes the next day at lunch. Italian animation is very weak (as in a bad pioneer camp), a disco from the same series.

And now about the good. If opportunities allow and there is a desire, rent a car at the hotel and see the island, it is very different. Take a trip to Chania (an amazing mixture of cultures), I advise you to stay at the hotel "Porto veneziano" (a room with a view of the bay is a must).

And most importantly, go on an excursion to the Samaria Gorge (it’s very beautiful, I haven’t seen anything like it anywhere), the main thing is to stock up on a camera or camera.
And yet, do not take half board (unless of course you are with children), take only breakfast, in Hersonissos and Heraklion there are wonderful restaurants and good shopping, and taxis are cheaper than in Italy. Have a nice holiday!
