In this hotel, my husband and I spent our honeymoon from June 27.2009. Were there 15 days.
The hotel is very good. Walk to the sea about 3-4 minutes. Since the hotel is located in Rethymnon, there are all the beaches across the road, the hotel is on the second line, and this is better because the first one is full of taverns and shops.
Representatives of a huge number of nationalities lived in the hotel, but most of them were Russians, French and Greeks. Also, the hotel was inhabited by the British, Germans, Dutch, Lebanese, Chinese, Romanians, etc.
Age category from student companies to pensioners. There are all ages, any companies, I think no one will be bored.
Although during the stay at the hotel, except for the cases of acquaintances of girls and boys from different countries, there was no other unity of peoples, Russians with Russians, French with French, etc.

The food is delicious, but there is not a large selection every day. Sometimes just a great choice, sometimes modestly. This applies to hot, salads and soups. And always olives, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, Greek yogurt (mmm) with garlic and herbs and all sorts of carrots, cabbages, pickles. There was something else I don't remember.
There was fish every day, seafood about once every 3 days, moussaka, spinach pies, pizza, lasagna (and other cookies) alternate, soups also alternate, according to which system the food alternates, we did not understand, because the second week did not repeat the first. Lunches are certainly more modest than dinners, there are even no soups and fewer dishes.
Of the fruits, melons, watermelons, apples, pears, oranges, kiwis have always been, in June there were still apricots. Very tasty pastries, especially their national cakes.
Salads were mostly pasta (the Russians didn’t eat this), but there were also delicious ones made from chickpeas, sprouted wheat, beans, there was something like our cod liver. Definitely cheese, cheese and sausages, everything is delicious. In general, you won't leave hungry. By the way, the all-inclusive eats in the dining room, very simple-looking and come as you like, at least for breakfast, at least for dinner, but they ate breakfast and dinner in a restaurant, men only enter in trousers, the interior is richer. Why did not understand. But AI is still more profitable, because. prices in Rethymnon are comparable, if not more expensive than in Moscow.
Animators in the hotel are a big minus, lazy idlers, there are two of them: Rebecca seems to be German and Jessica, from Portugal. In Russian, except for thanks and bye-bye, they don’t know anything, and the Russians in the hotel are at least 25%. Yes, and what they spent was weak on the 2-ku. They speak French, English and Portuguese. Good shows only from the outside: Cretan evening (this is something! 6 dancers danced, then they all pull out, super, super, super... ), belly dances are also pulled onto the dance floor, they dance a lot with different sabers, canes, very exciting, magical magician Tony's show, children just squeal, and adults are no less interested.
The hotel staff speaks Greek and English, very friendly and pleasant. Everyone simply adored our barmaid and bartenders.

They clean well and cleanly, regardless of the tip, if you ask for something, they will change it and inform you without question. The girls at the reception are also nice, they even gave me a map for free on the Internet.
The hotel is located on the street, in this city all hotels are located like that, so at night we slept with the doors closed and turned on the air conditioner, we couldn’t hear anything. In general, there are few cars, but so as not to wake up at all. It is possible with a view of the pool, it is quieter at night, but we liked our view, on the one hand a view of the sea, and on the other to the mountains. The design of floors (3 and 4) is different from floors (1 and 2), the upper floors are more modern, I don’t know about the numbers of the lower floors, because was only in her room.
The room is normal, clean, relatively large bathroom lined with mosaic tiles, glass shower, hair dryer. Towels were changed every day, and on the floor we somehow managed to change them 2 times a day.
In general, we are completely satisfied with the hotel and if we go to Crete again, we will be happy to stay at the same hotel.
