We took it on the second floor because of the beautiful view. Room was clean, cleaned and towels changed. In general, there are few staff, but everyone in their places works conscientiously, friendly and benevolent. The hotel is located very conveniently, in the center of the village close to two beaches, and even the hotel has its sunbeds for free on the beach on the right. The sea nature is beautiful. You feel at home in the hotel. The food is varied, something new every day, fruits, ice cream, you take as much as you want, no one limits you, just like drinks for lunch and dinner you pour yourself. I want to return to the hotel, as well as to Crete

We traveled with a 2 year old child. Impression: The location is chic, close to 2 excellent beaches in 5 and 7-8 minutes walk. a bus stop within walking distance, with a child it took about 15-20 minutes not in a hurry. The rooms are quite decent, wi-fi caught with varying degrees of success. but on the terrace or balcony it was quite possible to watch even live football broadcasts.

The rooms are quite decent, wi-fi caught with varying degrees of success. but on the terrace or balcony it was quite possible to watch even live football broadcasts.
Cleaned up every day. Towels were changed every 3 days.
The food is delicious, for breakfast / lunch / dinner, 2 meat dishes or meat + fish.
The only thing is, it's not worth going here with a baby. Here is a diet for older children. But ours is 2 years old and he has never been hungry.
The guests are 60 percent Europeans, mostly Germans. Quite a lot of retirees. There is no animation, the bar is open until 22-30.
The hotel is suitable for a relaxing holiday with the family.

Since our plane arrived too early, we were met by the owner of the hotel and treated to coffee, which was a pleasant surprise. They put us in a room right away.
We lived across the street from the hotel, someone wrote that it was inconvenient to cross the road, but in fact the cars drive very slowly and it’s not a problem to cross the road at all!
The room is simple but clean.
There was no shampoo and shower gel, but we took this with us, given previous reviews. For us, this was not a catastrophic problem and we did not focus on it.
The food is delicious, home cooked. The choice is not as large as in the all-inclusive system in Turkey, so these two countries should not be compared. We had enough, no one went hungry!
The hotel itself is well landscaped and beautiful.
The staff and the people themselves on about. Crete is very friendly and easy to communicate with.
The village of Bali is a quiet and cozy place. There is where to walk and enjoy the incredible views!

For the second year in a row, in the second decade of July, they rested on about. Crete in the village of Bali at the hotel LISA MARIE. The first time through a tour operator, the second time they organized the trip on their own. You just need to order traffic from the airport (or get on the fold, which is not very difficult, they don’t take travel agency buses, they are forbidden, taxis are expensive).

You just need to order traffic from the airport (or get on the fold, which is not very difficult, they don’t take travel agency buses, they are forbidden, taxis are expensive). The return says that we liked almost everything.
Living conditions and meals all inclusive correspond to PRICE - QUALITY. Clean, comfortable 2-bed rooms, almost all with sea views. The location of the buildings is such that the direct rays of the sun do not enter the room and the air conditioner was practically not turned on (this information is for those who are contraindicated in air conditioning). There are extra beds for families with children.
Municipal beaches are nearby 5 minutes and 10 minutes walk. Rent sunbeds and umbrellas 7 Euro for two. On the far side additional 2 bottles of chilled water. A big advantage of the hotel's location is that you don't have to "walk in the mountains" - it is located on the main street of the village of Bali. Quiet in the evening. There are no discos and loud animation. There is an adult and children's pool with sunbeds and awnings. The bar is open by the pool from 10.00 to 19.00 (all inclusive).
The hotel staff speaks Russian. A new building opens in August. In the evening there is where to walk, many shops and taverns.

The family went on vacation from the travel agency "Pyramid Tour" to Greece on the island. Crete, village Bali. The rest was very wonderful. Hotel: Dolfin Liza Mary - by definition cheap, ie budget option. But I must emphasize the friendliness and high level of staff service. We cleaned the room every day, and also really enjoyed the delicious lunches and parties on the terrace overlooking the beautiful mountains.

There was free ice cream for children and free alcoholic beverages for adults without any restrictions.
The area of Bali itself is very beautiful and picturesque and since June there the sun will shine every day, without any cold. For me, it was one of the best vacations of my life! Special thanks to Julia, who picked us a tour!

Recommended!! ! the hotel is very simple and modest, but is located on the first line, which is only a tavern, which is located directly above the sea!! ! And the village of Bali itself is very picturesque, beautiful, and cozy. There are mountains nearby - you can go hiking in the mountains for a day... And the price was quite inexpensive.

We rested in this hotel from May 5-12 with my family + 5 more friends. The hotel is located in a picturesque place, very small (you can walk through it in just a minute). In order not to describe for a long time - everything is in the photo. The food is not bad, every day is almost the same, but in 7 days it does not bother, because everything is tasty and well cooked - constantly meat (mutton), fish, pasta, rice, broccoli, cucumber-tomatoes, gravy, almost no fruit.

The food is not bad, every day is almost the same, but in 7 days it does not bother, because everything is tasty and well cooked - constantly meat (mutton), fish, pasta, rice, broccoli, cucumber-tomatoes, gravy, almost no fruit. From alcohol in the all-inclusive system - beer, ouzo, crayfish, wine-red, rose, white, brandy. Cocktails and metaxa are already for a fee. Ice cream is only for children under 12 years old, so - 1 euro - a ball.
The staff is very kind, nice, polite, not greedy. The bartender of the Panajotis hotel poured as much as they asked, for a week he never showed dissatisfaction, at 22.30 the bar closed, and our company of 9 people gained obscene alcohol 15 minutes before closing - 30-40 glasses and sat until 2 in the morning, we didn’t have any remarks that none of the staff did so much at once. At the reception, Nina answered all questions. There are few staff - 5-7 people, who are in sight, and they, like a family, change with each other - today one can pour in a bar, then she goes to cut flowers, then she helps to clean the rooms, the owner of the hotel came, he also got up at the bar, the child applied ice cream.
There is practically nothing for children, only a fenced part of the pool in which the child can stand on his own. No slides, no swings. But the fact that the territory of the hotel is very small for a child is the most - I did not get tired of running from the pool to the room or for ice cream to the restaurant.
Of the minuses - for 7 days almost all days there was no HOT WATER, or rather it was sometimes only during the day. Wi-fi also did not work for 2 days. By the way - if you need the password for Wi-Fi LIZA_MARI_1 - the password is 12345678. The rooms are very modest, some kind of gray, in our 64th room there were two single beds for a double bed, but the distance between the borders of these beds is very wide - so everyone slept with his wife on his own separately, albeit nearby.
The hotel is located between Rethymnon and Heraklion (it takes 30-40 minutes by car, you can also take a bus that runs every hour from the stop - 3.5 euros to Rethymnon, 4.9 euros to Heraklion one way).
In general, look at the pictures - I'll post pictures of the hotel itself (I took it especially for this site) and pictures of Bali - a village that is located a stone's throw from the hotel.
I liked the rest, I went out for a week for 2 adults with a child 46.000 for all inclusive with visas, flights, insurance. I don't think it's very expensive. From the hotel staff there were good impressions, but the hotel itself is very simple and boring. Although, if you rush around Crete and watch the beauty of this island (or at least Bali) - then this hotel will do just fine.

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.

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)

Service is 2+, in some rooms there is water, the shower is so small that you don’t know how to get in and turn around there. The pool bar is boarded up. Further, the food across the road in the dining room is a lot but monotonous. for dinner. In addition to the water in the room, I was surprised by the unobtrusive service in the dining room = "tavern" - the vacationers themselves cleaned the dishes, the tables were not wiped, the fallen food was not removed from the floor - outrageous! The reception is almost always open and empty, the keys to the rooms are on the table, the hotel located on the road, in general, a passage yard.

I had to take Bali Beach. The pool is not cleaned. I don’t recommend Jeanne the guide, her goal is to breed Russian naive inexperienced tourists for money, she lies a lot.
Crete itself and the population-5+!
