Raz zamówiliśmy pizzę i była bardzo słaba więc nad tym można jeszcze popracować ale ogólnie bardzo polecam pobyt w tym miejscu.

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit im Areti und würden jederzeit wiederkommen! DANKE!
Pros:

Die Lage des Hauses war für uns optimal. Unser Zimmer war schön und wir hatten einen tollen Ausblick auf die Bucht von Souda. Das Frühstücksbuffet war völlig ausreichend und unserer Meinung nach ist für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Dank der Herzlichkeit aller Mitarbeiter hatten wir eine wunderschöne und erholsame Zeit.

Cons:

Die Matratzen waren leider schon etwas durchgelegen, aber dennoch war es ok ;-) !

INCUBO INSETTI
Pros:

La vista sul mare e la stanza erano pulite e nuove con tutte le comodità di un apparthotel. La piscina era a disposizione anche se mai utilizzata ma bella da vedere.

Cons:

Il complesso fa pagare tutto cambia asciugamani, prima colazione con costo esagetrato di 7 euro a persona, un caffè espresso 3 euro, l'aria condizionata rumorosissima e le finestre non si potevano tenere aperte perchè prive di zanzariere e ci siano trovati in camera grilli e cimici, insomma un incubo.

Pros:

Bardzo dobra lokalizacja – spokój i cisza z dala od zgiełku miasta. Bardzo miła i pomocna obsługa. Największym atutem hotelu jest duży basen. Dodatkowym plusem był bar i restauracja, z których można było korzystać przez cały dzień. Pokoje były sprzątane codziennie, dlatego zarówno czystość, jak i poziom obsługi zasługują na najwyższą ocenę. Był też miły prezent na powitanie :)

Cons:

Jedynymi mankamentami były:
1. Brak Wi-Fi w pokoju – podczas naszego pobytu wystąpiła awaria. Internet działał jedynie na zewnątrz i w częściach wspólnych hotelu, natomiast w naszym pokoju nie było zasięgu.
2. Uszkodzona kabina prysznicowa w łazience.

Pros:

Все было замечательно, местоположение, чистота, вкусный ужин, чистый бассейн. Местоположение- Безусловно нужна машина,но если есть-то все очень близко, и хороший пляж и магазины, и рестораны.

Cons:

Возникли небольшие проблемы при заселении, но это ошибка в букинге.
