I vacationed at St. Constantin in late July - early August. I was pleased with the hotel - quite cozy, there were few Russians, most of the vacationers were Scots with children. Children are a little noisy, but in general the hotel is quiet. The food was not bad, a lot of local goodies - I especially liked the small olives, I had never eaten such delicious ones before. Every day they fried either fish or meat, a lot of salads, herbs, it was a pity there were no freshly squeezed juices. The hotel has a pool, even two, but I'm not a fan of swimming in the pool, I went to the beach. It takes 3-4 minutes to walk to it, the beach is small, clean, sandy, there is a shower at the exit from the beach, which is convenient - you can wash off the salt and sand.

I had a room with a veranda, quite cozy, large, there was even a kitchen, but I did not use it. True, he went out to the pool, in the evenings, companies with children gathered at the pool bar, but by 12 everyone went to bed.


The hotel offers many excursions and trips, I went to the Palace of Knossos (the labyrinth of the minotaur), the monastery and the cave of Zeus.
I liked it - the guide was Greek, he spoke excellent Russian, he spoke very interestingly. But you don’t like excursions - you can rent a car, scooter or even an ATV and explore Crete on your own, since there are a lot of rentals near the hotel and the prices are low - they ask for a car from 38 euros per day with full insurance.

I flew to Crete with Aegean Airlines. The difference compared to Russian airlines is tangible - there is a lot of space on the planes, the knees do not rest, the flight attendants are polite, the food is tasty, you go through passport control and baggage claim on the way in 20 minutes. At Domodedovo, a representative of Labyrinth helped me a lot, this is a travel agency where I booked a tour, I almost missed the plane, arrived at the airport an hour before departure, he waited for me with documents, escorted me to the check-in desk, helped with luggage, in general, attitude very pleased, flew in a good mood.
In general, I would rather recommend this hotel to those who are looking for a relaxing family vacation or vacation with children.
