Отдых для престарелых Rest for the elderly

I would like to share with all my impressions of the rest in this "wonderful" hotel. Rested in early August 2008 together. And so, everything is in order:
We arrived at the hotel at 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon, the heat was over +40, the hotel manager Nicoletta handed out the keys to the rooms. Finally finding ourselves in the room, of course, we first of all ran to turn on the air conditioner and, oh horror, the air conditioner blew hot air. We did not really understand this joke and decided to wait, but the situation did not change. In the end, I had to go to the reception and explain the problem. Then the master came to us, checked everything and said that the air conditioner was really malfunctioning and that we needed to change the room and called the reception himself and reported how things were. We went back to the reception, after which we were given another room. Arriving in the next room, we did not find any changes in the operation of the air conditioner + the room itself was much worse (the walls were shabby, the sockets barely stayed in the wall, the toilet had no comments at all). We were already quite so on edge and shocked by the 4* hotel. But we decided not to give up and went to find out how it is possible to exist here with such “cool” air conditioners, to which they explained to us for a long time that the air conditioners all work and they need some time to get back to normal, and what time is unknown. In general, for people who have air conditioning at home, such circumstances were shocking to say the least. We stayed in the room and decided to act through our guide, who was later told the following: “At first I gave them a normal room, they didn’t want to, now they will live where I settled them. ” To be honest, this is the first time such “Greek” hospitality and understanding for tourists has been encountered. It is clear that she did it all out of spite, she apparently did not like that people came and something else did not suit them. Then we called Moscow and asked to resolve this issue. The result of all the negotiations is this: we were told from Moscow that they called and agreed that they were promised that we would be relocated, and Madame Nicoletta told our guide: “Yes, they called me, but I said that there would be no relocations. ” We didn’t communicate with this madam in tattoos and with a smoky voice anymore, it’s too much honor to spend your vacation on showdowns. We just decided that we would write a detailed review about the hotel and its management.
And now about the hotel: the hotel itself is apparently already old, nothing has changed for a long time. The rooms are not cleaned very well, the towels leave much to be desired, they are also not always changed, it is not clear on what basis what is changing. They are cleaned at an inconvenient time, when many are hiding from the "very hell" in the rooms, we did not find signs like "do not disturb", which is very inconvenient.

Food: breakfasts are very monotonous - scrambled eggs, bacon, muesli, chopped fruit, bread, tomatoes, cottage cheese, yogurt, tea or coffee is poured, though they are made on local water, so it turns out to be "poison". Dinner is basically normal, for 2 weeks we even managed to try moussaka once, once - sulaki. At dinner, it is customary to order water, 0.5l - costs 1.5 euros, 1.5l - costs 2.5 euros. For reference, in a nearby supermarket, a 1.5l bottle of water costs 0.60 euros. You can also order beer and wine there.
Entertainment: entertainment at the hotel is funny, on Fridays there is a Greek evening by the pool - these are two boys and two girls jumping in tight leggings and trying to cheer up the audience, forgive the Greeks, but this is still a spectacle. There is a beautiful place next to the hotel where you can have a drink called “Petra” in the evening. And in general, there is nothing else to do at all. In the evening there is such silence that all this reminds of Soviet times, rest for the elderly. The only salvation for those drowning in this boredom is car rental. You can rent a scooter from 17 euros with category B rights and ride it somewhere, you can take a car, mostly mechanics from 40-50 euros minimum (the smallest car), automatic from 80 euros.
You can go to the city of Kerkyra (Corfu) for a walk, a free minibus stops near the hotel and takes you uphill to the city bus stop. In principle, you can catch it at 10 am and at 10-30 a bus arrives to the city. But we observed such a situation that a lot of people stood on the minibus and everyone did not fit, so there is a chance not to leave, and it goes very rarely. Of course, you can climb on foot, if everything is fine with your health, we climbed 2-3 times. At first it’s hard, and then you probably get used to it, in 20 minutes it’s real.
Upon departure, a young girl at the reception gave us a check for 3.5 euros - as our duty, it was very interesting, there was not a word in English and she explained it just like that - for the restaurant, although we took water there and always paid for it right there. Fun, we no longer began to find out where we were credited with this amount and just gave it away, but the fact itself . .
We regretted that we went for 2 weeks and ended up in this hotel. We rested in Crete - it's just heaven and earth. After such a “warm” attitude at the hotel and such a “fun” place, to be honest, I lost the desire to visit this country in the future...
