Rested from 06/13/2011 to 06/24/2011.
We went to a three-ruble note and did not expect 5 stars. Therefore, they were very satisfied. The village itself is very calm and quiet, there is no evening entertainment, but we did not need this.
The staff is wonderful. Administrator Miro (Bulgarian speaking Russian) is a GREAT person!! ! Always ready to solve any problem. The waiters Sasha (from Latvia, Russian speaker) and Mario (Miro's son, also Russian speaker) are great guys. We also got acquainted with the owners (only English and Greek) and their grandchildren. Everyone is wonderful and accommodating. We chatted a lot with them, even exchanged Internet addresses to exchange joint photos. Everything is very democratic and homely.
Another bonus was that the hotel had free Wi-Fi (though only at the reception). It was convenient. They called via Skype to Russia and to home and cell phones (very cheap).

The hotel is conveniently located in my opinion. It is not high, it is very easy to pass from the sea, there are no steep climbs (as in the middle of the village). In a 4-minute walk there are 3 supermarkets, a doctor, rental cars, and in the opposite direction - a bus stop on the national road (tickets are also sold there)
The hotel itself is nice, beautiful architecture, lots of trees. The pool is painted, but it does not overshadow. The nearest beaches are comfortable, sandy, a little to the right are more interesting rocky ones - you can swim with a mask. drive octopuses, crabs, etc. There are many nice taverns on the beach with comfortable sofas, Russian-speaking staff, free Wi-Fi and excellent cuisine (by the way, we didn’t like Gargona praised on the forum, it was much tastier on the beach)
Hotel.
Yes, there are several rooms (under the tennis court), roughly speaking not very much. Especially the very first one. At first, my husband and I were put there, and our friends got a good room (with a balcony, sea view, odorless toilet, etc. ) in the building opposite. We arrived late, so we didn't argue for a long time. The next day they began to ask to be relocated. They promised in a few days, but when they saw my tears, they took pity so much that they moved us to apartments (the studio was paid) WITHOUT additional payment! After the closet under the tennis court, I was completely delighted! nice bright two-room suite with a balcony and a good view. our friends lived behind the wall in a studio, also very wonderful. The difference was only in the absence of a second room, and also a nice bright room. The furniture is not new, but quite suitable, very good hard mattresses (those who have back problems are just a joy, since in hotels the mattresses are usually soft and sagging, but here they are super). We had linen, cleaning and towels on time. The only thing was that there was no hot water early in the morning (apparently because of the solar panels), but we swam in the evening or at night. You can hear the road, but not hard.
Food.
We liked it. I have a poor appetite, but here I ate to satiety and with pleasure.

For breakfast there was butter, margarine, ham (normal, not like in Turkey), cheese, oranges, boiled eggs (good, like homemade, with a yellow yolk, not blue like in Russia), yogurt (if you add jam to it - very tasty), fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, some pastries (sometimes cakes, sometimes pies with cheese), well, a bunch of some kind of cereal for breakfast cereal lovers, 2 types of jam, honey, chocolate paste. From drinking: 2 types of yupi, instant coffee (you make it yourself, so everyone can make it to your taste), tea (sometimes bad, sometimes lipton), and milk (apparently powdered - it doesn’t look very good, but I only needed it in coffee, so there are no complaints) For lovers of cereals and other dry rations, of course, no luck with milk, I think it's better to buy in a nearby supermarket or put them in yogurt. Yogurt is more interesting than ours... it is thicker and more tender.
For dinner there was some hot meat (there was always meat, usually 2 types, sometimes there was also fish - quite tasty). The side dishes were interesting, and once even buckwheat : ))) There were 2 times mashed potatoes: the first one was delicious, and the second time it was powdery. Different salads (cabbage, beans, rice, etc. ), obligatory dza-dzyki (to my joy, I really liked it), cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese and olives - always. For dessert every day watermelons, sometimes + melons, once there was ice cream. Drinks at dinner are paid, but if you have a watermelon, you can not drink.
I saw how our compatriots unceremoniously collected mountains of food on plates and dragged them to their room. like hamsters in a hole! The staff did not react, they only looked at them in surprise : ))) Well, cattle, there are cattle, let them chew. Only now, if you return to the hotel by the end of dinner, then you won’t always get fruit because of our shortage hamsters : )))
The food, of course, is not like in a tavern, but quite tasty.
The hotel has a rental car. For living large discounts (bargain). We ran around other rental cars and took them at the hotel. Prices from 30 euros, no extra charge for a second driver. Very comfortably. Only if you take a Jimik Kubrick, do not leave things in it when parking in cities. They are easy to uncover, our neighbors in Chania had all their belongings taken out. We didn't have any difficulties. We traveled a lot, we saw a lot. Excursions are expensive, you will see more by car and it will be cheaper (even despite gasoline at 1.7 euros). You can go to Rethymno by bus.
Rest were very satisfied.
Special thanks to Miro!!!

P. S. Somehow they were lying by the pool and an elderly couple came to the hotel to visit Miro. They sat next to each other at a table and we heard their conversation. This couple, it turns out, was vacationing in this hotel that year, but this year they did not have time to take a tour in the Marais. They said that they live somewhere in the neighborhood (it seems like some kind of Rose or something like that), they spat on their hotel and said that they would very much like to move to Miro. I don’t know where they settled there, but they praised our hotel very much and regretted that they could not get into it and even asked us in which month we booked the hotel. Well, that's right, by the way, that to each his own... well, whoever is lucky with the number. From our plane there were 4 couples in this hotel and everyone loved it. just don't expect anything supernatural for a small fee. The hotel is worth the money (in my opinion)
