Het was ok, maar nog veel te verbeteren
Pros:

Het personeel was erg aardig en behulpzaam. Met Lazaros hebben we goed kunnen lachen. De bedden lagen heerlijk. Prachtig uitzicht!!

Cons:

Het hotel lag (voor ons) ver buiten het stadje. Het was 10 minuten lopen, maar dan was je aan het begin. Naar de zee was minimaal een half uur lopen. We hebben veel met de (gehuurde) auto gedaan. Het ontbijt was erg karig. Brood, yoghurt, fruit of als je geluk had nog een klein croissantje.
Niet alleen in het hotel, maar op heel Kreta het wc papier niet doorspoelen maar in een prullenbak, die maar 1x per dag werd schoongemaakt. De badkamer stonk hierdoor heel erg en het bed stond 2 meter van de badkamer af. Niet prettig dus. Verder heel veel miljoenpoten op de kamer die niet weg te krijgen waren.
Ze adverteren met water op de kamer. Dit klopt, we hadden 1 klein flesje water pp voor 6 dagen. De rest kon je bijkopen. Zelfmeegenomen chips of snoep mocht alleen op de kamer genuttigd worden niet bij het zwembad, terwijl zij het zelf niet verkochten. Geen pantoffels (wat wel in de advertentie staat) dus zelf slippers meenemen. Bij de bungalow was alleen buiten een zithoek, binnen kon je alleen maar op de bedden zitten.
Als je de airco aanzet, komt er eerst een stofwolk van hier tot ginder uit. Gekauwde kauwgom van de vorige bewoners lag nog op de kasten, en heeft er al die dagen gelegen. Hygiëne was ver te zoeken.
Voor ons was dit de eerste keer Kreta, maar op deze manier niet een aanrader.

Connexion wifi faible
