Good day to all! Passions have boiled over, all relatives and friends are gifted. . . I am writing a review about the hotel, and, of course, how not to say about the wonderful island of Crete!!!!
It's good that I decided to start getting to know Greece from Crete. No, I don’t judge the mainland, I can’t, because I don’t know. BUT. . . Crete is an island of adventure, it's adrenaline, it's "Oh and Oh" every day!
We rested at the hotel in the first days of September. The bulk of vacationers: couples, couples, families with kids and pensioners. Let me warn you, this is a family vacation. Young, looking for discos, dating - not there! Although, there are a lot of discos, taverns nearby, you can go there))). Bali Star is located in a village with 4 bays. Waves occur only with a westerly wind. And is it the waves! Which is a priority over the rest of the beaches of Crete. 3-sandy beaches, 1-pebble. The hotel was renovated in April. Everything is new, clean, after a good repair. The rooms are small, hair dryer, plasma TV, condo, refrigerator, safe for a fee (in this hotel it was not needed). We left euros for the cleaning lady, but probably not necessarily. There is shampoo, soap (I took my own, because the hotel would not be enough for me, they do not change every day). Bed linen, well. . . a little surprised. There was no whiteness, there were spots, which is not entirely pleasant. But this is a three-ruble note and I measured... (although... I still remember this now with disgust). I wanted rest, sun, sea. I didn't pay much attention to it then. Food... from the belly, although almost the same thing. Fruits always. For a change, we ate in taverns. After all, we came to the room and fell dead from outdoor activities! Crete is a MUST TO TRAVEL!! ! The car was taken in the agency "Happy days". They have the most favorable conditions, but the cars are in great demand! There is a Russian-speaking bartender / waiter. At the reception, a nice girl, speaks English, the hostess and the owner are almost always there. Oh, I forgot, the hotel has a wonderful olive garden. We caught b/pl Wi Fi there in the evening, and many sunbathed there, and it took 2 minutes to go to the sea, sunbeds in the garden b/pl. On the beach 2 euros per unit of equipment (tobish: sunbed, umbrella). Well, the hotel is no longer thought. Go, you won't regret it. Just do not sit in it from morning to evening, travel. What is good about the village of Bali is that it is almost in the middle of the island. We traveled it far and wide. Be sure to visit Elafonisi, Balos !!! , Knossos, Prevelli, Melidoni Cave is very close (not everyone knows), Matala, Malia, Zeus Cave. Develop routes. A road map will be given when renting a car, the first time is difficult, and then you will deal with the roads. I assure you, it is not so difficult to look for routes of interest, read the signs, ask the residents (better at gas stations, they will understand you, and you will understand them). In general, the hotel did not upset me. As in a private good hotel stayed.

Yes, I forgot... I'm not satisfied with the work of the guide from Pegas-turistik. I don’t remember what this lady’s name is, we became uninteresting to her, maybe we were going to travel ourselves, and she us! Yes, we became so uninteresting to her that she even bothered to send the lists about the flight home only after the hotel administrator called at 21.00 !! ! ON THE EVE OF DEPARTURE! Well, from the hotels, the same tour operator took sooo many people. They circled, circled the mountains, that 30 minutes before departure they just passed all the check-in at the airport !! ! This is not Greece, this is a tour operator organization, and Greece is cool! Write, if I can, I will answer your questions. Have a nice holiday!
