Rested with friends in this hotel from 8 to 16 September. A tour to Crete was booked 2 months in advance at Biblio Globus and the specified hotel was chosen specifically, focusing on its good location. We are not fans of “seal” rest and the “all inclusive” system, and we mentally prepared in advance for the hardships of fate in the form of meager food and uncleaned rooms, described in some reviews. After reading, we went with the firm intention of changing the hotel upon arrival. But this was not necessary!
To brighten up the waiting for registration, we were treated to freshly brewed Greek coffee. Then we were settled on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the MYTHOS building (numbers 205 and 301, respectively). Both rooms are "studios" with sea views and are quite decent in terms of the quality of cleaning and furniture. The rooms have air conditioning and a small refrigerator. Normal furniture (wide beds, wardrobe, dressing table with mirror, hair dryer, wicker chairs and a table on the balcony) and plumbing. There were no interruptions in hot water. We had breakfast and dinner in the Sofia building. Everything was delicious, varied enough and no one limited us in food. Dined every day at the MYTHOS restaurant, where good service and Mediterranean cuisine.
The hotel has a really warm, homely atmosphere. When we, tired and hungry, returned to the hotel from a tiring excursion to Santorini at half past twelve in the night, we were greeted like family, with smiles and a hot dinner. The next morning we were leaving for a new excursion and, having not seen anyone at the reception at 7 in the morning, we were at first confused, but the car for us arrived on time, since the owner of the hotel, Michalis, ordered it the day before in our absence.

We were satisfied with the work of the hotel staff. Both Michalis and his assistant Svetlana are kind and helpful people with a sense of humor, always ready to help. This owner also owns a five-star hotel with a spa, which we wanted to visit in winter, but, unfortunately, it closes for the winter. We will have to go on New Year's holidays to another country for thalassotherapy, but in the spring we will definitely return to Bali. I recommend vacationers to carefully collect information about the place of rest and carefully read the reviewsso that someone else's negativity does not affect your decision.
For reference: we received a similar service for equivalent conditions (hotel category, location on the first line, a separate room with a sea view and half board) in Cyprus in March 2011 for a little more money than here in the season, and the views were not so gorgeous and sea temperature +18.
