We had a great vacation! The hotel is fully consistent with its category and fully justifies its cost. Pleased:
1. fresh and clean bed linen and towels. True, they changed them somehow strangely, unsystematically. could change linen one day only on one bed, and the next day change to another. but we are not in a claim, we go to rest, and not to look for cobwebs in the corners.
2. good food. You won't leave hungry, even though the selection is small. there was always meat, fish, which did not end even with the end of the meal. the range of alcoholic beverages, of course, is rather weak. All includes: beer, red and white wine, ouzo, crayfish (local moonshine) and cognac. Cocktail lovers don't come here. there are no juices either, only gas drinks like cola, sprite, etc.
3. bartender Sokol - out of competition!! ! Super positive person! succeeds in everything! and at the bar, and in the restaurant, and entertain guests.

4. silence in the hotel. ALL inclusive is open until 22.00, then the bar closes and the area near the pool too. We had a room overlooking the pool, so it was possible to put the child to bed without closing the balcony.
5. full bathroom, where everything worked and there were no problems with draining the water.
6. friendly staff. Big Well done manager from Le Grand Tatiana!! ! The first guide, who did not want to be called GAD! Excursions are not vtyuhivali, but helped in all matters. sincere thanks to her!
From what future tourists should pay attention to:
1. mosquitoes in June - clouds! take creams and fumigators.
2. clothes dryer is completely missing. rope and clothespins brought from home are rescued.
3. razvlekuh in the hotel - no, not counting billiards and football. therefore, it will be necessary to look for entertainment outside the hotel. fortunately, the location of Dimitrion for these purposes is very good.
4. the beach right in front of the hotel, the one right under the hotel Kahlua - teeming with sea urchins. without slippers for rafting, it’s better not to go there. if you walk to the left 30-50 meters (facing the sea), there is a wonderful sandy beach. if you go to the right - there is Starbeach, where there is a lot of entertainment, ranging from bungee and foam disco, ending with children's pools with slides. Swimming pools, children's slides, foam disco - free of charge. Entrance too.

About excursions. did not take. rented a car for 4 days. Peugeot 107. cost 120 euros + gasoline. Gasoline is not cheap - 1.75-1.8 euros / liter. Interestingly, entrance to all sights is 6 euros. Were in the Palace of Knossos, on excavations in Malia, in 2 caves - Sfendoni and Lassithi, where Zeus was born, went to Rethymnon, to Agios Nikolaos, swam in the South Sea near Ierapetra, wandered around Heraklion. We visited the Acqua Plus water park. he is a child, there is no extreme there. our 9 year old child rode all the slides except for the kamikaze. the water park is very small. tickets were taken at the Serapis agency, it cost 56 euros for 2 adults and a child (the child was issued free of charge). There were also 2 aquariums: one is quite large, where even 3 sharks swim. and the second (private) is located behind the Spar store (10-12 minutes walk to the left from the hotel). with children is very interesting. There is such a trick: you pay 1 time 6 euros for an adult, 4 euros for a child and you can walk on these tickets every day for 14 days without paying anything extra. the aquarium itself is tiny, but in the terrarium they give you to hold boas, agams, spiny tails, you can feed the turtles. and focus - unlimited! children are delighted! and many adults too.
In general, the rest was a success, which we wish everyone!! !
