Dear fellow tourists!
I never leave reviews about hotels, but I want to write about this! I will not say that the hotel struck us (we rested in companies of 2 couples) on the spot with some splendor, but made a deeply positive impression !!!
Let's start with the rooms: we had a 2 bedroom apartment with a kitchen. The rooms themselves are small, but fresh, everything is decent and clean, no one runs around (cockroaches and other animals). We especially liked the household appliances that the kitchen is equipped with (dishwasher, different saucepans, electric kettle, iron, tape recorder, in short, everything you need to relax without a dining room with its all-inclusive). Products in any supermarket (we overstocked in green s / m, it takes 10 minutes to walk along the embankment, the choice is large and the prices are nice).

As for other amenities and services in the hotel: there are 2 pools, swam, the sea is better in any way, Wi-Fi, aqua aerobics, theme nights, a playroom for children (paints, toys, as well as local cats and cats, very cute and friendly ). I must say right away - for people waiting for entertainment at the hotel, it will be boring, because. this hotel is more focused on couples who can entertain themselves))).
Now a few words about the sea - it is difficult to enter it, stones, but you quickly get used to them and swim into the sea with joy. You can, in order not to suffer, buy on the spot or take crocs or other special shoes with you.
The location of the hotel is very convenient, near the old town in Rethymnon.
I can't help but say about the excursions: of course, they will offer excursions from the t / o, which brought you to Crete. Their prices are scrap, so I advise you to take a car if you have water rights (there are a lot of Rent a Car companies along the embankment, the prices and conditions for renting cars are also different, everyone can find a suitable option for themselves). We traveled all sightseeing places by car in 3 days. Very satisfied. The roads are good, but scary, mountain serpentine, but the views... awesome.
Local taverns are a separate story. Everywhere is friendly, hospitable and very tasty. For ourselves, we chose 2 places where we were regulars (La Mare tavern, if you walk along the promenade, and Acropolis tavern, behind the Aegen Pearl hotel, turn right. Be sure to try the traditional local dishes: moussaka, saganaki with shrimp, lamb guivetsi, and of course same, crayfish - an analogue of our vodka, only softer and tastier.
Enjoy your holiday in Crete at the Crecotel.
P. S. flew back business class - very cool!! !
