To begin with, in general, about the place of Bali!
The nature is very beautiful, the sea is clean, 2 sun loungers on the beach + an umbrella cost 3 euros, try not to get close to the stones, there are a lot of sea urchins. The beach is sandy, gently sloping, great for children. In general, Bali is a very quiet place, there are many shops and they work for a long time!
Regarding calls to Russia from a machine.
In the supermarket you can buy a DYNAMITE card, it costs 5 euros, and there it turns out about 400 minutes (5-6 hours) you can talk to Russia (both on a mobile phone and on a home phone) is very profitable.

There are many restaurants near the first beach, which is smaller, the prices are reasonable, almost like ours. I RECOMMEND THE EXCELLENT TAVERN "GALINI" FISH RESTAURANT (if you go down to the beach, it is the last one). My friend and I took a sea platter and were delighted, a lot, very tasty, 3 types of fish, squid rings, shrimp, octopus + Greek salad + wine) ALL THIS WERE 25 EUR))))
The Greek Sasha who works there is just lovely, when we were about to leave he treated us to crayfish and delicious watermelon. GO WON'T REGRETT!!!!!
Now about the hotel!
The hotel is a solid three. Upon arrival, we were settled simply in some closet, and not in a room where instead of 3 beds there was a folding bed and, moreover, broken....air conditioning and TV did not work....
But, I can note that after our complaint, the next morning we changed it to an excellent one with a view of the pool and the sea (so if you don’t like something immediately at the reception, everything will be decided)
The hotel is mostly Russian 50% St. Petersburg, Moscow, a few Germans and British)
They speak Russian badly, except for the girl (dark) in the bar, she is Polish, so you can understand.
The food is delicious, but there is practically no variety. The pool is not big, but there was enough space for everyone...
Now about the main thing!
It’s actually not 20 m to the sea (as indicated on the websites), but somewhere around 300 m to the nearest (small) beach and 500-600 meters to the big one, but the most important thing is that these roads are all down the mountain, so going back is very hard, but after 3-4 days you get used to it somehow! Small fish swim in the sea and they bite when you swim normally, but it's worth stopping as they are right there! A palm beetle climbed into the room a couple of times, it is safe, but very nasty and screams loudly (and jumps).
Now about excursions!
Be sure to raft on Gramvousa, this is an excursion on a liner to the Balos peninsula, where the three seas surrounding Crete merge. Honestly mesmerizing, the water is of an unusual color and clean, it costs around 60-70 euros, I don’t remember exactly!
If you visit the water park with children, it's extreme)
And of course, Knossos, but it is very difficult, I don’t advise you to go with children, it’s very hot, they run fast, there is no sea nearby, but interesting)))

In principle, I am satisfied with everything !!!! ! For this money, he justified himself)
