Despite the beautiful location and beach, the overall experience fell far below expectations and did not justify the fiv
Pros:

The location is excellent, the beach is beautiful, and the food was generally fresh and varied. Check-in was also quick and efficient.

Cons:

Nowhere near a five-star standard. The facilities are poorly maintained, with peeling paint in the children’s pool, stained towels, torn beach towels, and an outdated, dirty gym. Our room was not cleaned on the second day until we asked.

The Superior Beachside Bungalow had very little privacy and no proper soundproofing. Felt much closer to a three-star property.

Elounda , wir kommen wieder
Pros:

(natürlich das Wetter und Meer) sehr saubere Location ; reichhaltiges Frühstück ; sehr freundliches Servier- und Reinigungspersonal ; SEHR ruhig am Abend

Cons:

Das tägliche Frottierwäsche Wechseln ist nicht mehr zeitgemäss, umweltfreundlich. Irgendwie funktioniert dies (noch) nicht. Ebenso letztes Jahr in Elounda Beach. Überlegen Sie sich, wie dies anders, besser geregelt werden kann. Es ist uns bewusst, dass sehr feuchte Froste nicht zusammengelegt wird und wieder platziert wird. Aber trockene Tücher vom Balkon, sollten doch weiter benutzt werden können.
Bei Vollbesetzung des Hotels sind zu wenig Sonnenschirme fix installiert. Die Olivenbäume helfen da nicht jedem.E
Beim Wässern des Rasens sollen die Matten/Matratzen nicht nass gemacht werden!

Pros:

Beautiful, not too crowded, beach is close to the pools and hotel. There is a grass area. Plenty of open room for kids to enjoy without being a hotel “for kids”. Clean and has a wonderful and friendly staff.

Cons:

The didn’t area is a little difficult to access for elderly or with stroller. You have to go around or take a club car, which is fine. Food is ok +. In the restaurants within the area the food is wonderful, but it’s not included, of course.

Ortak havuzlu odada çok keyifli bir konaklama
Pros:

Otel genel olarak beklentimin çok üzerindeydi. Çalışanları çok güleryüzlü. Yemekler çok lezzetli. Plajları ve denizi kusursuz. Havuzlu odanın da tatilimizin keyifli geçmesinde etkisi çoktu.

Cons:

Beğenmediğim hiçbir yönü yok, sadece yiyecek ve içecekler Yunan adaları standartlarına göre pahalıydı. Bir de kids club’ı 5 gün boyunca bulamadık :)

מקום מצוין למשפחות, קצת יקר ביחס לתמורה
Pros:

צוות נהדר ושירות מעולה, מיקום ונוף מדהים

Cons:

קצת מיושן וצריך תחזוקה, הארוחות סבירות ולא יותר מזה, צריך לשלם (והרבה) על אקסטרה (כולל מים בארוחת ערב)
