Pros:

Μείναμε στο babis hotel 15 ημέρες. Το ξενοδοχείο ήταν πολύ καθαρό και μου έκανε εντύπωση ότι το προσωπικό φρόντιζε τα δωμάτια καθημερινά ασχέτως αν εμείς τις περισσότερες φορές ήμασταν μεσα στο δωμάτιο και οι κοπέλες δεν μπορούσαμε να μπουν. Η πισίνα επίσης καθαρή. Όσο για την τοποθεσία αν και είχε κοντά στάση δεν την χρειαστηκαμε επειδή ήμασταν με αυτοκίνητο. Το σημείο μας βόλεψε γιατί ήταν 10 περίπου λεπτά από τό Ρέθυμνο και γενικά είχαμε εύκολη πρόσβαση σε όλο το Δήμο Ρεθύμνου. Το πρωινό αν και το τιμήσαμε τις μισές από τις μέρες πού ήμασταν εκεί ήταν ικανοποιητικό. Δεν είχε πολυτέλειες αλλά μια χαρά. Σχέση ποιότητα-τιμής πολύ καλή.

Cons:

Το μόνο πού μου έλειπε απο το πρωινό ήταν ότι δεν είχε γαλοπούλα και μια ομελέτα θα ήταν τέλεια αλλά ας μήν είμαστε και πλεονέκτες!
