Hello. In July, we flew to the island of Crete in Greece for 7 days. Chose Bali location with Talea Beach Hotel. Family with two children aged 5 and 13.
Settlement. We arrived in the evening, we were quickly settled in the room. At the reception at that moment there was a hotel guide, she just helped with the translation. No one speaks Russian at the hotel, but they understand broken English in principle.
Number. According to our booking (Family room), we were given a room on the ground floor of a bungalow with a small terrace and access to the lawn. At first we did not like it and even thought about resettlement, but then we found a big plus in this. You could always spread a blanket on the lawn and sunbathe or just watch a movie. The room has two beds, one of which is a bunk bed. The room itself is not small, the four of us are comfortable. The bathroom has a shower tray and curtain. Air conditioning, TV, refrigerator worked properly. I want to note that there are no special cards for electricity, you could leave the air conditioner and go to the beach so that the room was not hot.

Food. After checking in, we immediately went to dinner. Came at the end, so there's not much left. Chefs, waiters and bartenders are great. The restaurant has always been a pleasure to be in. There are tablecloths on the tables, the tables are cleaned after each guest, the dishes are clean, the bar is open all day. For breakfast, cereals, desserts, cereals; for lunch and dinner 2-3 side dishes, meat and fish dishes. I only wish there was more variety of vegetables and fruits, otherwise we never left hungry.
Hotel. We knew where we were going. The hotel area is small, one pool, around which 10-15 sun loungers. But I note that even in such a small area they pay attention to the lawn, trees and flowers. In the evening it is nice to sit on a bench, after the pool or from the sea it is convenient to walk along the lawn to the room. Talea is located on the first coastline, i. e. has its own access to the beach. If you go up from the hotel to the road (1-2 minutes), then there is also a supermarket, a pharmacy, and taverns.
The overall impression is excellent. We expected less. The hotel is quiet and peaceful, the staff is polite and helpful. If they add fruit in the restaurant, and umbrellas by the pool, then there will be an ultimate dream. Have a good rest everyone.
