And so, leaving the 11-month-old baby in the care of his mother, we fly to Crete. I completely agree with those tourists who write that the hotel has an atmosphere of calm and relaxation, just what we needed and what we were waiting for! The undoubted advantages of the hotel are a beautiful, well-groomed territory, varied and delicious food, new, spacious rooms, attentive and helpful staff, a two-level beach. And the Cretan Sea! It is impossible not to fall in love with its blue, blue color, by the way, in early October the water temperature was +24 degrees! We rented a Citroen C1 car at an agency located to the left of the hotel, and my husband presented his driver's license (red book), issued back in Soviet times, and there were no questions! Although I don’t know, maybe questions would have arisen when meeting with the police.... but we got through! We went to Chania, walked along the Venetian harbor, and then to the Devil's Harbor. located 20 km east of Chania, along the mountain serpentines, there is indescribable beauty, a truly magical place, in Rethymnon - a colorful Greek town with a beautiful promenade and, of course, on Santorini (the tour was taken at a local travel agency located in Panormo (aitidis_artoriks@mail . ru), punctually brought, put on the ferry, met - taken to the hotel. Ah, Santorini! You can write and write about it, but it's better to see and remember it for life! And I also liked the village of Bali, very cozy and cute. Summing up I will say that a week in Crete is, of course, very little, since Crete is so rich in sights and wonderful landscapes that you want to return to it again and again.

The hotel is super, unexpected... I recommend it to everyone who wants to relax body and soul. For those who like to give a shit, there will certainly be moments. Lots of Europeans. The food is varied and good. It is located 22 km from Rethymno. I recommend!

Hotel for holidays without children. The hotel has an atmosphere of calm and relaxation.

The hotel is located on a slope, so it is a little inconvenient to move around the territory. The only drawback is the inconvenient descent to the sea and a relatively small beach. Hotel for discerning tourists without children.

We stayed at the hotel in July 2012. In Greece and Crete for the first time, although we travel a lot. The decisive factor in choosing Crete for a holiday this time was a direct flight from our city. Choosing a hotel based on reviews on the Internet, I realized that there are not so many hotels in Crete that would meet our requirements, namely: 5 *, small in size, consisting of villas, and not of a huge building (I can’t stand it when , among marble and mirrors, crowds of people in swimming trunks crowd into the elevator to go down to the sea! ) I like hotels not in cities, but somewhere in a quiet place so that there are no strangers on the beach, given that the beaches are not the private property of the hotel - especially.

Discos, night promenades and shops are also not needed! In general, to be quiet, calm, few people, tasty, clean and comfortable!
I can say that the hotel fully satisfies all these requirements! There are so few people in the main pool (more than 3-5 people did not swim at the same time! ), That it seemed at first that the hotel was half empty! But then they realized that this is because a lot of villas have their own individual pools, so the people are dispersed. Our room had its own lawn with an umbrella, sunbeds and a large jacuzzi, in the shade of trees and flowering bushes! Considering that it takes 1 minute to walk from the room to the pool and the sea, we enjoyed the solitude for the first few days and after swimming in the sea or sea water pool, we splashed in our jacuzzi and sunbathed on our lawn. The sea was just amazing! Clean, calm, comfortable temperature, the color of light bottle glass, swimming is a pleasure! The beach near the hotel is in a small bay, entering either the lagoon, but it’s shallow and slippers are needed, because. the bottom is rocky, or - from the pier. It is very convenient to swim from the pier in calm weather, but it was stormy for 2 days and I had to be content with jumping on the waves in the lagoon and the pool. It's good that the pool with sea water is clean and without bleach! The food for breakfast and dinner is excellent, a lot of fruits - watermelons, melons, cherries, peaches, etc. , delicious meat and fish, all sorts of moussacks, etc. , fresh orange in the morning, drinks at dinner are paid - good local wine and French champagne! ) Ice cream is delicious, varied , sprinkle yourself with all sorts of nuts, chocolate -mmm! In short, recovered by 2 kg! (
Of the shortcomings - unstable mobile communications, the network was constantly lost in the room! And no free Wi-Fi! Upon check-in, however, they provide an hour of free time, and then they bought unlimited for 40 euros.
I would also like to note the exceptional friendliness of the staff - at the Reception, the waiters in the restaurant. By the way, there are also Russian speakers, which sometimes makes any task easier! If the review is somehow analyzed by the hotel management - a big thanks to the main manager of the hotel, who helped solve the problem with the broken Internet and the waiter Svetlana - very helpful and pleasant!
The hotel, in my opinion, is very good for couples, parents with children - there are children's pools, slides. But young people and those who love nightlife will be bored!

Almost every bungalow has its own pool. The sea is clean, you can see every pebble + fenced lagoon. 2 communal pools with sea water and chlorinated. There were always enough sunbeds on the beach. Great stay, thanks Pegasus!

Hello to everyone who wants to visit the wonderful resort of Greece - the island of Crete and this hotel.
I would like to say . . a few words about the hotels . . everything is basically good . . the food is European, the usual as in all European hotels of this category in Europe.
The hotel is very quiet. . there are almost no people. . even sometimes you think that everyone is dead. But but but but there is the biggest drawback for me to lower the star level of the hotel - there is no beach at all. more precisely, there it is current in this piece of the sea, you can go waist-deep-like a children's beach))) for adults. so if it's not important for you then go to it.
But there are still minuses next to nothing but a small supermarket there. you have to go shopping in the city for 20-25 minutes by bus, and then you still need to spend 15 minutes to get to the bus). I liked everything there almost, but the second time I would not go to this hotel. I advise you to take a hotel in which the beach is good and civilization is nearby.

Calistpero so to say to all readers of this site! We returned with the family (wife and son 3 years old with a penny) from this hotel on August 22.2011, we liked the rest very much. As for the hotel itself, it can be given honest 5 stars (I travel a lot, so there is something to compare). The design is super, the cleanliness is perfect, the food is on the level, the room is spacious, clean, everything is rich (design, bed, bedding, climate, bathroom in natural stone, jacuzzi).

They settled - I would say lightning fast, though they didn’t offer fresh juices, as they wrote here. it was probably night (during the day I saw they gave out still wet towels / napkins for hands), but on the other hand they drove to the room in a golf car, they didn’t even let them touch the bags, they brought it in, put it down, they didn’t ask for a tip.
The restaurant, the dishes are good, there is both meat and fish and poultry, grill, vegetables, fruits, in general, they gained a couple of kilograms There are a lot of servants in the restaurant, everything ordered is brought at lightning speed, they arrange a festive dinner every 15 days, the Hotelevsky menagers come. From time to time, all sorts of drinks were offered near the entrance to the restaurant. The music is playing live. Yes, by the way, do not forget evening dresses and trousers with a shirt, 70 percent go out to dinner just like that, but no one will pay much attention in Swede, but they definitely won’t let you in shorts.
The pools are excellent, there are actually 38 of them in the hotel, but some are designed for one room, some for several, it all depends on the category of the room you have chosen. In general, one is purely for children, with fresh water, slides for entertainment, etc. Big - sea water, nearby is a paddling pool for kids, in general, it’s convenient and you bathe yourself and watch the kinder. There is also one medium one, also with salt water. In general, the water is clean, lukewarm - what you need, there were enough sunbeds for everyone. Regarding towels, when you check in, you are given cards for all arrivals, which you exchange near the pool for towels, and when you leave, you can change them for new ones as much as your conscience allows, at least every half hour.
The beach - here is a small mistake, it is artificial but covered with sand, it turns out that the land where the water does not reach and the bulk of the sunbeds are on the squeak, but the entrance to the sea and the bottom of the sand has already been washed out - rocky is not very pleasant, but if in shoes, then there are no problems at all. There is also a bridge and stairs from the pier to the sea, you can also swim very well.
Surroundings - the nearest village of Panormo (3.5 KM), there is a train going there starting from 14.30 (well, like a train, imitation on wheels). Nice village, nice, with the right restaurants (tasty and relatively inexpensive, at least compared to Heraklion and Chania). At 22 KM there is the city of Rethymno, regular buses go there from a neighboring hotel. In general, there is something to see, but in order to get the most out of it and save money on excursions, I advise you to rent a car.
In general, I summarize, I liked the hotel, I advise couples or just couples who want to spend their holidays in an atmosphere of romance and tranquility for a holiday.
I hope this review is helpful to someone.
Happy holidays to all, wherever you are.

I traveled with my husband and 4 year old child. I liked it very much, varied food, you could always find something to feed the child: soups, cereals, 3 types of omelettes, fruits, seafood, fresh orange juice in the morning. The rooms are spacious, clean and well kept. We took HB, went to dinner somewhere new, traveled almost the entire coast (we rented a car), beauty!! ! We will be happy to go again!.
