The hotel is located in a very pleasant resort area with many shops, restaurants and supermarkets. The hotel is quiet and peaceful. There is a lot of greenery around. The sea is a stone's throw from the hotel. Beach chairs are paid. I advise you to buy bathing slippers, because. rocky bottom in the sea. (Slippers are sold near the hotel and inexpensive. )
For children there is a small playground (slide, swing, small shallow pool).
We lived in an apartment consisting of two rooms (in one room - a small kitchen, a table with chairs, a sofa and a coffee table, in the other - a bed, a linen closet, bedside tables, a large mirror) and a bathroom. Room is spacious, lots of space. The room also has a balcony with a table, chairs, clothes dryer.

We took the package with breakfast only. Breakfast is not very plentiful (several types of bread, butter, cheese, two types of cold cuts, eggs, oranges, tea / coffee / juice, yogurt, honey, berry jelly), but we eat no more at home, we had enough. Lunch and dinner can be enjoyed at nearby restaurants or cooked in the apartment. To eat in a restaurant we got 8-12 euros for two, the portions are huge, so we took one dish for two.
There is a bus stop a few steps away, 15 minutes drive to Rethymnon, one-way ticket costs 1.20 euros.

From the cultural and entertainment program, you can visit a local disco, or better yet, go to a disco in Rethymnon (our friends praised the Latin disco very much). You can go to Rethymno and Chania (by bus or rented car), wander through the old narrow streets, along the embankment, look at the lighthouse and the fortress.
Of the organized excursions, they took only an excursion to the island of Santorini. It's a day trip, a bit hard because of the heat, but worth it. Impressions from what he saw and heard are unforgettable. And perhaps the strongest.
You can rent a car right in front of the hotel, by the way, a Russian guy Sergey works there. They are there right on the map can indicate the route of movement. True maps are not accurate. And road signs are just "finish", then they are not there, otherwise they are directed in the wrong direction : ). But you can get to some interesting place, such as a small village. If you go to the south of the island, be careful with the road, if you turn in the wrong direction (like our friends), then you can go to the "goat path", where there will no longer be a turn around, and there are no fences ahead and an abyss right next to the "road". In general, it is better to look for a car map, it should be more detailed.
I wish you a great rest! If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer : )
