Siamo stati una settimana in questo delizioso hotel, poco distante (200 metri) dalla spiaggia di Rethimno. Partendo dal cibo, c'è subito da sottolineare la qualità dei primi alla carta proposti. Che per un hotel in Grecia, non è così scontato, essendoci molti turisti tedeschi, che hanno pretese molto basse. C'è poi tutto il cibo a buffet, vario e si trova sempre qualcosa di buono. Frutta e dolci più che soddisfacenti. La colazione ha tutto quello che serve, dalle fette di torta alla frutta di stagione. La camera , una junior suites, ampia, con una bella doccia. Unica pecca, era affacciata su una strada piuttosto trafficata, e di notte abbastanza rumorosa.

Forfærdelig oplevelse. Gå uden om dette hotel!

Vi havde forventet at ankomme til et 5 stjernet hotel. Receptionen var lukket og vi måtte gå til nabohotellet "Minos 4*". Her blev vi oplyst at der var sket en fejl, og vores hotel var lukket for sæsonen. Vi blev tilbudt en junior suite på "Minos 4*". Hotellet var slidt og det var slet ikke som man ville forvente af et 4*-hotel. Junior suiten var et dårligt bytte. Møblerne var slidte og morgenmaden var kedelig, som man ville forvente på et 2* hotel.
Stikkontakt var ved at falde ud af væggen.
Møbler slidte og ødelagt af vand.
Virkelig dårlig salat ved morgenmaden.
