I was for the thirth time in Kriti Beach this year and it was very great again! The staff is verry helpfull and they have always time for a little talk. The beach and the centre are verry near the hotel. You across the streat and you are on the beach.

The rooms in the hotel are also verry good! The rooms get cleaned every day,and after every 2 days you get clean towels. The dinner and breakfast are not so good, it's the most of the time the same. Also one evening in the week, there is a Greek night, with Greek music and greek dancers. That's also verry great!!

I deffintly going back one more time!

The Hotel is a new building: bedrooms, bathrooms and others locals are simple but clean. The staff is helpful (except for waiters). The localization is good with respect to the old centre and the sea. On the other hand we are not satisfied about the quality of food served during breakfast and dinner. They served tinned fruits instead of fresh ones (in summer there is more fruit in Crete), freeze pizza, fruit jelly and dried chocolate mousse as dessert… they never served traditional honey cakes. The breakfast was ever the same with less variety of food… (during our stay, a German family had a breakfast in the hotel with bread, cheese and cold meats bought at the supermarket by themselves …).
We had to pay for all the drinks also for water (in general, when drinks are not included in the price, water is present in the dinner room in the automatic distributors, is not it ? In our previous experiences, it was!).
For the Typical Greek Dinner they asked for a (optional) contribution of 2 euros per person for paying the dancer!!! (Absurd) During this dinner we payed 4.5 euros for a half bottle of water and a little glass of draught beer…
Moreover they had a strange way of playing concerning the end of dinner time. They took away all food even if there were still costumers in the room: the buffet was removed at 9 o’clock!!! Really unpolite…
Shampoo and shower soap were missing in the bathroom… it is very unusual for a 3 stars hotel (cat. B)!

We had chosen the hotel because this time we wanted to have a view to the sea (at least sideway).The last years it had always been 4 star hotels but with no possibilitiy to view the sea. Since we had an idea where to place the hotel we knew that it would be loud from traffic and therefore this was o.k. for us. The hotel is situated just across the beach, divided only by a much used road. The hotel pool is very small and people walking along the street can easily watch one swimming or tanning. Our room was small and not efficiently equipped with wardrobes and parts of our clothing had to remain in the suitcases. The refrigerator is also very small and can only hold small amount of beverages - there is no freezer compartment incl., although a small iceupe box can be placed on top of the cooling agregate and freezes water. (Faint chance to have a cold cold Ouzo ). Also the cooling was somewhat o.k. only abt. 2 days after arrival.
The airconditioner was fairly o.k. since not well cleaned - only on the right side of it cool air was able to come out. Since the hotel puts signs out to safe energy and to quit all energy sources once leaving the room it is surprising that the air conditioner even runs without the door key in lock and also the balkony doors can be open and it keeps running. The bathroom is well equipped but with only barly light. Really good was that at all times one was able to have a shower with good temperature and pressure (this was not common in our other hotels!). Towels were changed every 2nd day and fine for me, however my suggestion for future guest - hide a role of toiletpaper somewhere, without this wise idea of mine we would have had a problem one day. The breakfast is the usual greek one you get everywhere (cereal variety, bread, cheese and cold cuts) but here even with less varitiy (every 2nd day scrambled eggs with bacon, inbetween boiled eggs or fried eggs with sausage). They do not even have a toaster - coffee was great though!
Dinner was more or less o.k. - since we have skipped 2 nights to get a good fish plate- I can not say for all nights. There is always a variety of salads (although in some salads it looked like leftovers from the other night were taken, but this was absolutely o.k. for me), the hot meals were like "you like it or not"
- 4-5 different hot boxes with vegetables, meat,fish, noodles, potatoes or likly and everyone's taste is different but more then once I had to drink a lot of water afterwards because of the saltiness.
I can not say anything against the service team - they are always polite and quick for bringing the drinks and cleaning the tables.
This turnes out to be not the high ranking report but as previously written it is my first 3 star hotel. Overall we have had a pleasant and relaxing holiday ( we are easy to accomodate to situations;-) ). If you have booked to Kritti Beach already - it is really o.k. (but try to learn some russian incase you want to get some holiday friends - (this not only goes for this hotel))
