Were in this hotel from 2 to 16 August 2012. To begin with, I chose a country for my family's vacation for a long time, because. We have two boys aged 1 and 12. I stopped in Crete and did not regret it. We just fell in love with this island!! ! The people are wonderful (not only the hotel staff), the nature is the most beautiful, the hotel is excellent. Later I will describe a few places where you just need to go. About the hotel… Not big, but the territory of the hotel is large enough, a lot of greenery, botanical gardens everywhere. The beach is well maintained, sandy. There are free sunbeds on the beach at any time. Sunbeds, towels for free. The entrance to the sea is also, but there is also with pebbles (it didn’t bother us at all). The sea is clean and transparent. Restaurant… In Crete, in general, the most delicious cuisine! Meat!! ! The range of dishes is varied to obscene. Of course, the breakfasts are monotonously varied, but it's like everywhere else. We took half board (without lunch), because. planned to travel around the island. But in any case, your children will dine at the hotel for free. There is a buffet where children are offered hot meals from 12 to 14, and snacks, ice cream, cake until 17.00. For those who are afraid to be hungry… don't be afraid, there are several taverns near the hotel. The food they serve is delicious and not expensive. Animation is not like in Turkey, but every evening. During the day in the main pool water polo. There is a platform for yoga, dancing, fitness, tennis court.
For those who do not like to relax "face in the sand. " There are car rentals near the hotel. We took from Budget (cheaper). For 7 days 250 euros Volkswagen Polo. Full insurance, child car seat, map of Crete. Where to go…
1. Palmbeach in Preveli: a beautiful place where a clear mountain river flows into the sea, there is also a park (free entry).

2. Balos in Kissamos: white and pink sands, the view is simply awesome, three seas converge there. On the way, you will meet a small pickup truck and a young smiling guy selling honey... buy it, the honey is very tasty and of high quality.
3. Elafonisi: on the way there will be a beautiful canyon, on the beach there are also white and pink sands. The sea is completely different.
4. Lake Kournos: pure fresh water, geese are sleeping standing nearby, and goslings are swimming with you.
5. Rethymno is a Greek Venice, narrow streets, quaint houses. Enter the old city, visit the fortress Forteza.
6. Water park in Herakleion or Chania.
7. Visit Knossos Palace of the Minotaur. It's better not to go to hell. The place is dry and open.
In general, 7 days was not enough for us to cover everything. There are still a lot of beautiful places, historical sights. I really want to return to Crete, and to this hotel!
