Чудесный о.Крит Wonderful Crete

This summer, for the second time, the family rested in Greece, namely in Crete in August. We stayed at the Gouves Bay Hotel. It took only 20 minutes to get to the hotel from the airport, which suited us quite well, because. we were with a small child. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were immediately greeted by a guide, a very sweet and friendly girl. She walked us to the reception and told us about all the organizational issues, we were pleasantly surprised by such attention. Thanks. But the downside was that we were settled with the child only at 14:00, it was hard, and we just wanted to take a shower and relax after the flight. At 12:00, bracelets were put on the hands, and the all-inclusive system began, we could already take drinks at the bar and have lunch.
The hotel itself is small, with a cozy little area, there is a fresh water pool and a children's section. Everything is compact and harmoniously arranged. There is a bar near the pool, there are free sun loungers, a playground nearby.
It can be seen that the hotel has been updated, everything is new: furniture, interior. The room is also brand new, including bed linen and towels. Beautiful, simple and comfortable. We were satisfied, there are no complaints about cleaning either, the staff worked well and in a timely manner, the room was cleaned daily, bed linen was changed 2 times a week. Internet works well in the lobby near the reception.

The food at the hotel was very delicious. I just don't understand people who complained about the kitchen in the hotel in their reviews. There was both meat and fish, various side dishes, fresh fruits and vegetables, we ate plenty of vitamins. Breakfast, however, is monotonous, basically the same thing every day. Personally, we were satisfied with the cuisine.
The beach next to the hotel is pebbly, in some places there are stones, quite uncomfortable, sunbeds are paid. Therefore, we walked to the left, there is a sandy beach and a more convenient entry into the sea.
But since we took the car for a couple more days, we drove around the island, looked at the main sights, drove into the bays for swimming, there are wonderful beaches in Crete, even those that are wild and not equipped, with excellent beaches, soft sand.
Another disadvantage is that we had a late departure, and when checking out at 12:00, bracelets are cut off and lunch and dinner are not supposed to. But this is all trifle.
If we consider our holiday as a whole, then everything was very pleasant, and we were satisfied. Thanks for the rest.
