For the last 6 years, once a year, we have definitely had a rest in Crete. We stayed in almost all regions (in the cities or suburbs of Chania, Bali, Rethymno, Elounda). In the summer we relax only with children (I have three of my own, plus we always fly in a group with our relatives, they also have children), so for us the main requirements for a summer trip are clear sea, clean beach, safety (including food, accommodation, etc.) and entertainment for children. Much of what is written in the negative reviews is true, but we have been coming to this hotel for the second time in a row and my children do not even want to hear anything about traveling to other places. And this despite the fact that we saw the whole of Crete, and a decent part of other places - cities and continents (India, Spain, Great Britain, France, Czech Republic, Egypt, Türkiye). But children are counting the days until a new trip to this hotel, and we, adults, also do not mind at all. I'll start with absolutely indisputable moments, so to speak, of objective reality: 1. Surprisingly clean pebble beach (with multi-colored pebbles) and blue-turquoise sea. There are no other hotels near this hotel either to the right or to the left; there are also not so many private houses in the mountains (in the north of Crete, houses are piled almost one on top of one), and therefore there are relatively few vacationers - quite freely on the large beach. In the sea - only clean water, not plastic cups, bags, leftover hot dogs or used diapers. Beach - also without cigarette butts, clean; sun loungers are at a sufficient distance from each other. There are still ten meters of beautiful clean pebbles between the sun loungers and the sea - you feel spacious and you feel like a part of nature when you lie on clean hot stones after a swim in the sea. Not far from the coast, several fresh springs come out into the sea (locals told), that is, the water in the sea is constantly updated. As for us, the purest sea is the main thing for which we fly several thousand kilometers from the urban jungle and for which we pay our money. 2. Surprisingly friendly and professional animators who involve both children and adults in various activities, uniting people of different nationalities. I have athletic children, so we enjoyed half of the opportunities from a large selection: water polo, volleyball, table tennis, darts, boccia, aqua aerobics. The instructors are guys from Italy, Spain, Portugal. But what incredible and professional shows they do in the evening! As soon as the animators found out that my children are professional athletes (they are 9 and 11 years old), they were also immediately invited to participate in the evening on the big stage with a break dance show along with a professional dancer Diego from Mexico (the main animator of the hotel). The next day, my children became very famous in the hotel, it was their "five minutes of fame")), but almost all the animators there are artists - either professional or by vocation, so I highly recommend visiting their show "Variety", you will not remain indifferent, believe me! Thank you Diego, Sarah, Alex, Maria, and others for the good mood in your hotel every day! 3. The rooms this year were after cosmetic repairs (everything is painted). The rooms are small, the balconies are small, but we somehow accommodated. I am attaching a photo of our room upon check-in. Why they set the table for us in the room - as regular customers of the hotel, or as the first customers this year (the hotel opened on June 1 after renovation) - I don’t know. On Sunday the room is not cleaned. Beds are changed every two days, the presence of a tip does not affect this (verified). 4. There are two water slides for children from 7 years old, but for my children they were small and uninteresting. In addition, according to the rules of the hotel, these low slides cannot be used by small children (namely, they might be interested in them). 5. Food - no frills, but we always found something to eat. I really enjoyed the fried fish, the Greek salad and the natural Greek yogurt. Almost the entire vacation ate only them and felt great. Loved the food on the Greek day - there were traditional dishes and sweets. My youngest son is a severe allergic person, but during the holidays, all allergies disappeared - either the power of the sea, or really high-quality food. Empty plates are cleared from the tables very quickly and always with a smile. The guests of the hotel in my time were mostly Czechs. Then the Poles, Russians and Germans arrived. In general, many thanks to the hotel staff for our great holiday!!! This was our second visit but hopefully not the last!…

Relax at Sunshine Annex.
Rested for two weeks as a family with two children in this hotel. We returned yesterday, 08/14/2014. We chose the hotel urgently (there were no visas) a little over two weeks before departure, since everything was very vague with the vacation. Choose was for reasons of price and quality is not particularly anything. The choice fell on Sunshine because of the relatively low price for a 5-kit. And the reviews were mostly positive. The tour operator Pegas, the hotel is also Pegasovsky, flew by the Nordwinds (the same company!). I studied the reviews on the hotel and, in principle, was ready for anything. Travel experience is considerable, there is something to compare. Holidays in this hotel left double impression. But I’ll say right away: Sunshine is a four, and Annex is a three without a plus.
1. Road. The hotel is 130 km from Heraklion Airport. Travel by bus approximately 2.5 hours + arrivals on the way to other hotels, i.e. about three hours. Since my daughter is sick in transport, we decided to shorten the travel time and take a taxi (110 euros) - a comfortable Mercedes with air conditioning, and in 1.5 hours (with a stop) we got to the hotel.
2. Accommodation of the hotel. They took the Annex building, the main building was in the stop until the end of August. Sunshine itself is located on a small hill, but to the Annex building (this is a separate hotel with its own infra, despite what is considered one hotel!) Rise, rise and rise again! Gotta cross the road underground passage, climb first on one slide, and then on another, concrete slide, where there is no shadow! Yes, my husband and I also argued, like, nothing, we won’t gain kilograms, but gentlemen - August, it’s hot, at night it’s +28, and in the daytime it’s all +40 in the sun, well done kids endured climbs! It’s still nothing from the hills, and it’s good to walk in the evening, but in the afternoon ...! We were only enough for 1 swim in the sea a day, after we splashed in the pool.
Yes, there was a transfer to the main building, a minibus for 9 people. However, he often had to wait, since the hotel used the same minibus for other purposes - to take, for example, towels, etc., I did not want to wait for 20-30 minutes. So in two weeks we used it 4 times. In general, from the room (to which we also had to climb the stairs (Annex rooms are located in several lines, each on a hill)), the distance to the sea is about 800 m, but what: two slides, passage and territory of the Sunshine itself. If this does not bother you, then by and large, this is the biggest minus of the hotel. The territory of the hotel is well-groomed, I would not call Annex green, but the hotel is neat. The territory is greener near the Sunshine itself. On the territory of Annex there is a volleyball court, another field, an abandoned cafe, which is a pity that they do not use the territory to the fullest during the season, a small playground, air hockey, 1 pool with a children's section, without slides. And in Sunshine there are three swimming pools, one of them is for children, with small slides, the second with two slides, mini-golf, chess, a children's club with a playground, bars, souvenir shops, a fur coat shop (I do not advise buying), etc.

3. They did not check in immediately, they arrived at about 9.50, settled at 01:30, during which time we had breakfast and lunch. We were given a family room, two rooms, as it was supposed to. They tried to hand over a banknote to the Russian-speaking administrator at the reception, so that they would at least be settled in the main building of Annex, opposite the pool, but received a categorical refusal, argued by the complete occupancy of the hotel. In general, I note here that the staff, namely in Annex, is friendly from administrators to serving staff. It seems like there were free rooms, but they were located two more lines above our room. During the holidays, they tried to move to Sunshine for an extra charge - it's useless, even for an extra charge (the supplement is 30-40 euros per day, which would be cheaper than if you take a ticket at the main hotel, the difference is 140 and 190 euros per room per day) Room unpretentious, with two balconies, no frills, with an ordinary TV, in one room there is one large double bed, in the other - two separate beds. The fridge was out of order, but was replaced in the evening. The air conditioner was noisy, but it worked, although it broke after two days. After two calls, the master repaired, although the noise remained. You can’t open the balconies especially, the stuffiness is terrible, and flies fly in. The room was cleaned every day, the linen was changed 2 times in 2 weeks, the cleaning consisted of making the beds, sweeping very rarely, so sometimes we just hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign. If you are going to go with the kids, upload more cartoons to your tablet, the TV shows more or less 23 channels, of which only 2 are Russian, and one can only be watched, the sound is with strong interference. Mostly news, children's cartoons and programs are not (unlike German TV channels, as many as 2 with cartoons!). And stock up on drinking water in the shops nearby. Upon arrival, one small bottle of water will be waiting for you and that's it, the freebie ends there. There are coolers in the dining room, and you can't buy bottled water in the hotel itself.
5. Nutrition. Regular All. All without frills, without a lot of variety, but in general everything is fine. For lunch, you could come to the Sunshine building. Not to say that the food in it would be radically different from Annex. What I really liked - it was in Annex that there were no cooks with stoves, braziers in the common dining room, and what I really didn’t like was the lack of air conditioning in the dining room (unlike the Sunshine restaurant itself), despite the fact that you don’t eat outside during the day, it’s very stuffy and hot and FLIES, LOTS, LOTS of FLIES all over the food plates! Breakfast 7:00-10:00 - two types of cereals (rice and semolina, always), three types of yogurt, pancakes, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages, fried potatoes, cheese, sausage, cereal, muffins, buns, croissants, dates, prunes , raisins, 6 kinds of jam, apples, oranges. UPI juices, sodas, tea bags, coffee, cocoa. Lunch - moms, in general, you can choose something for children, they won’t remain hungry, but soup - in both dining rooms soup of 1 type, usually watery puree soup (onion, vegetable, pea, tomato, delicious mushroom) or minestrone. children with great reluctance ate a couple of spoons. In principle, both lunch and dinner were given fish, mostly fried, meat in different versions (casserole, gravy, fried, etc.), fried chicken, french fries, a kind of mashed potatoes, fried, pasta, fried and stewed vegetables , spinach dishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, always spices, sauces for making salads. For lunch (12:30-14:30) and dinner (19:00-21:30) - three types of ice cream (strawberry, chocolate, vanilla) - not best quality, but it is possible. For dessert - biscuits with soufflé. Surprisingly, in two weeks there were seafood only twice, but with a large excess of spices - mussels and cuttlefish. For lunch and dinner, 4 types of wine were offered - red, rose, white and retina (a variant of white with a peculiar flavor), chatter wine, although there was nothing white for fish dishes. Beer is so-so, juices again yuppies. I note that you can also try freshly squeezed juices, but this is a beach bar and, in my opinion, 2.5 euros (ice cream is also paid here)
All vacationers were offered to visit a Greek and an Italian restaurant once, but it was unrealistic to get in, the reception was advised to come up to 8 in the morning for an appointment, as the Germans, who strictly observe the daily routine and rise at 7-8 in the morning, leave no chance for the rest, who love sleep on vacation, to visit this institution. But once, not without the help of one good man, we got to a Greek restaurant (the menu includes cuttlefish, meat, chicken, appetizers, eggplant rolls, fried zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, they bring a bottle of red or white wine, dessert - from the dining room), - nothing unusual, but the atmosphere itself is very pleasant - on the seashore, friendly waiters, especially for children, had a wonderful time.

6. Animation: The hotel is German, the hotel has a franchise with Germany, and of course, the emphasis was on the convenience and comfort of citizens of this nationality. In Sunshine, where the Germans (and many with children) and other foreigners (French, Italians, British, etc.) settled, the animation was on German, in the evening at 21.30 - in the form of a show (very mediocre, I must say, antics with opening your mouth to the music), in my opinion, 8 (!) animators worked, all foreigners, in Russian almost no belmes. But sometimes translated into English language. During the day, the animators were almost invisible, so they entertained mostly the Germans with competitions, such as get spoons from the bottom of the pool and play beach volleyball. There was a children's club for children, but again, mainly for young Germans. Children's animators two girls - "Chut-chut in Russian". In Annex, where mostly Russians, economical foreigners, - rotten. During the day there is no animation at all, in the evenings at 20.00 children's animation begins, two girls color the children, then children's dances begin, and at 21 o'clock animation for adults begins, consisting in holding competitions (such as lotto, lottery for 5-10 euros per person with a prize like soft toy or karaoke) on the terrace of the Annex dining room. Upon arrival, my daughter had a birthday, the bonus of the hotel for the birthday girl was that the daughter’s glass with a children’s cocktail was decorated with an orange slice, the cake had to be ordered in the morning somewhere around 1,500 rubles. per kg, which we found out in the afternoon, but we went to a very good tavern "At Dimitrius", it's 600 meters along the roadway from the hotel, on the seashore, we ate the freshest seafood there, and Dimitrius personally brought his daughter a piece of cake with ice cream balls with a candle and all the visitors congratulated her with a song! And in the evening, for 30 euros, after the children's animation, the birthday girl was congratulated with a T-shirt and a bunch of balloons.
7. The beach is small pebbles, the kids were interested in looking for colorful pebbles, the only thing was skipping from the sunbed to the sea, even in beach shoes, as the pebbles were heating up decently. There are plenty of umbrellas with sun loungers even at the height of the season, and the sea is just SUPER - CLEAN, TRANSPARENT, it is a pleasure to swim with a mask! You go knee-deep you are already surrounded by flocks of fish! There are many convenient entrances, although there are large boulders, it is slippery and inconvenient to enter them. Small fish, large, gray, black, were even motley and emerald, and further from the coast, in the crevices, they saw crabs, sea ​​urchins, can not be compared with Red, but also worthy of attention. Oddly enough, there are not many swimmers, apparently some spend time on excursions and in pools. Have worked water sports, 15 minutes on a jet ski 40 euros, water skiing 35 euros + 10 per lesson, a catamaran, in my opinion, 30 euros per hour, also riding on an inflatable sofa and a banana. Near the sea, a children's pool and a pool with slides, that was entertainment for the children! True, at 16.00 the slides were turned off, it's a shame early.

8. Wi-Fi in the hotel is paid, but a freebie can be found across the street from the Annex hotel, sitting on the steps, in the supermarket, the manager Adonis is a very friendly and hospitable Greek, there is also a shop a kilometer from the hotel if you walk along the roadway, called "Art- bazaar" Dimitrios, souvenirs, clothes, and free WiFi, and very friendly sellers. In general, this is a distinctive feature of the Greeks. In any supermarket there are Russian-speaking sellers, supermarkets are open until 21-22 hours. But these are only supermarkets. Pharmacies, banks, etc. establishments are open until 14.00! And on weekends, at least pharmacies do not work, the nearest one is in Ierapetra, on duty.

9. Weather: hot, 2 days there was a strong hurricane wind, but basically, all 14 days the breeze began in the afternoon, 1 day it was raining in the evening, but this did not prevent vacationers from swimming in the pool and moving around the territory

10. Excursions - we went to Ierapetra ourselves, I advise you to go there before 12:00, there are a lot of shops, Sale is everywhere, but everything is closed after 12. You can just walk along the embankment, go to the lighthouse, see the numerous churches and just wander through the streets and see the local flavor. You can also buy ferry tickets to Chrissi Island on the waterfront, but the queue is huge.
An interesting excursion Cretan evening - 68 euros per person, Spinalonga island - 64 euros per person, I really liked the excursion to the island of Santorini 140 euros per person (+ surcharges for additional excursions and souvenirs), but very difficult, especially for children, departure early in 04:30 in the morning to get to the port about 2 hours and more arrivals at two other hotels, by ferry 2.5 hours, then by bus until the evening with three stops, and the road is serpentine, we were lucky, the air conditioner worked weakly on the bus, but it worked , and before us the group was fried decently .. But it’s still better to come to Santorini in September-October, when there are no crowds of tourists, sweltering heat, and the sea is still warm, as the locals say, and in Crete too.

Summing up, I will say that, in principle, we had a good rest, but I would not go to this hotel again.

My husband and children and I rested at the Kalimera Club hotel for the second time. The first trip there was in June 2013. We have something to compare with, and, believe me, we have visited a lot of places, then the price and quality are very inherent in this hotel and there is nothing to complain about. But, perhaps, I wanted more free sunbeds by the pool, otherwise there are not enough of them for such a large number of everyone. And so, we had a chic room, a beautiful and cozy balcony. The choice of food is sufficient for both a vegetarian and a meat eater. Indeed, if you want to relax without screaming and fuss, then come and you will not regret it. The hotel is aimed at adults and children. A huge area where you can take a walk, several animation sites in neighboring hotels, a lot of greenery. If you are relaxing in this hotel, then all the entertainment and restaurants with the beaches of neighboring hotels are available to you, so you will not be bored for sure. Well, the sea, as always, is on top.

We stayed at this hotel last fall. We were satisfied with our stay and the hotel itself. Booked a room on the second floor with a sea view. The room is small, the bathroom has a shower and bath, which is very convenient. Also, the room has a huge, soft double bed. There is a large mirror, bathrobes, hairdryer, minibar and free safe. Pleased with the presence of Russian channels. Although we only watched it before bed. Room cleaning left a good overall impression. The territory of the hotel is average, but we did not expect to see a large one. But it is well-groomed and skillfully equipped for recreation. There is a large swimming pool with sun loungers and umbrellas. The beach is sandy, the entrance is flat and without stones. Swimming, sunbathing, enjoying life!
