Best holiday

Written: 24 april 2009
Travel time: 26 september — 3 october 2008
I discovered Greece for the first time. Although I dreamed about it for a long time. We rested with a girlfriend in late September - early November in Crete. When choosing a hotel, we were guided by the same reviews of tourists. But already directly in the travel agency, to which a special THANK YOU, they radically changed their plans. We were advised by a chain hotel with a worldwide name of the Aldemar-Aldemar Royal Mare Village De Lux network. They guaranteed that we would not regret it. ))))) (a trifle, but nice) and for an unexpected gift - an individual transfer.
Without going into details, we can say briefly-Super Hotel!!! ! The territory is huge, green, well-groomed (in the morning, early in the morning, the cleaners wash the paths first with soapy water, then with a special machine and finally wipe it dry by hand !!!! ) A huge number of pools - more than 20. We lived by the sea, in a bungalow on the 1st floor , 20 steps and you are on the beach. As for the service, it is worth noting the INVISIBILITY and diligence of the staff who clean the rooms, the territory..... The rooms were cleaned, towels and bedding changed daily. Everything is immaculately clean! The rooms are not very big, but everything is cozy, in the national Greek style. Upon arrival, the rooms had fruits, mineral water, wine and flowers.
Restaurant. The main one was in the main building, We had half board, that is, breakfast and dinner. Believe me, this was enough not to lose weight in 8 days, while we led a very active lifestyle on vacation - we traveled around the island almost every day either by car or on scooters and ATVs. The range of dishes in the restaurant is simply....Chic. A large number of types of cheeses, olives, capes, salads, seafood....all kinds of fruits . . and of course SWEETS, which are a little bit oriental, but all well... For breakfast there was even CHAMPAGNE.

As for the contingent, then... for this level of hotel, it was not surprising that these were not teenagers who prefer an economical vacation, as long as there was somewhere to sleep, excuse me, "swell" and hang out. Mostly they were wealthy people, partly people of retirement age ( foreigners, Germans, Dutch, English...., young people, Ukrainians, Russians... Animation in September-October is weak there, but you will forgive me, relaxing in such a chic country and lying only on the beach, in my opinion, this blasphemy!!!
Sea....It's just a fairy tale. Beautiful, from pale blue to turquoise and green, depending on the depth, warm... The disadvantage was that the entrance to the memnoko sea is rocky and it is unlikely that you can jump on the waves... The beach is well-groomed, small with small pebbles, almost sand, but it does not get into the eyes and does not clog the mouth, nose and everything else. If you wish, you can go to the city beaches, which, it should be noted, are in perfect condition.
For a long time you can write and talk about what left an indelible imprint, positive emotions and impressions in your memory and consciousness. I recommend everyone to visit Greece and this hotel in particular.
