Pros:

Μέγεθος δωματίου, καθαριότητα, πρωινό, θέα στη θάλασσα, κάποια χαμογελαστά πρόσωπα του προσωπικού όπως ο Eduardo και η ξανθιά κυρία που μας τακτοποιούσε το δωμάτιο.

ottimo
Pros:

la posizione, la colazione, la disponibilità dei camerieri e della ragazza alla reception, poi la camera vista mare

Cons:

a volte risaliva dai tubi della vasca un cattivissimo odore, poi dal primo giorno abbiamo chiesto un phone per i capelli in sostituzione di quello difettoso ma non ci è stato mai fornito nonostante un paio di sollecitazioni

Pros:

מקום יפה ממש על הים (אך לקחת בחשבון שגם ממש מעל המסעדה)

Cons:

חוסר בשירות לקוחות, במשך 4 ימים אף אחד לא טורח לבדוק האם אתה מרוצה, האם חסר לך משהו, צריך משהו ( כן קונדישינר, מגבות וקפסולות קפה)

Kan tänka mig att åka tillbaka utan tvekan.
Pros:

Mycket god frukost och maten på restaurangen var toppen. Trevlig personal med familjär känsla. Väldigt fint och smakfullt hotellrum. Klanderfri städning.

Excellent hôtel pour un séjour de rêve
Pros:

Tranquillité des lieux, vue imprenable sur la mer, très bon petit déjeuner, chambre toutes options avec literie au top. Distance centre ville historique de Rethymnon à 20 mn à pied. Parfait.

Cons:

Manque éventuellement une piscine de meilleure facture que celle proposée. Mais uniquement pour ceux qui n'ont pas de passion pour la mer !
