Lieblos und verbaut - keine Reise wert
Überteuerte Wohnungen 146€/Nacht nennt das Hotel Suite. Trist eingerichtete Zimmer mit minimalistischer Küche (über 30 Minuten bis das Wasser auf dem Herd kocht) und einem Bad für Zwerge. Viel zu klein: für Menschen über 175cm ist die Dusche unbrauchbar, zwei Personen passen nicht gleichzeitig in das Bad hinein. Der Balkon mit Meerblick entpuppt sich als Parterre-Balkon mit Blick auf den Personalein - und Ausgang und auf die öffentliche Toilette. Inklusive der dazugehörigen Gerüche. Es schauen andauernd Peronen in den gesamten Wohnbereich und die Klimaanlage sorgen zudem für Pfützen auf dem Balkon. Der Strand ist verschmutzt mit u.a. Zigarettenkippen. Generell wirkt alles lieblos und heruntergekommen - das Hauptgebäude und Pool sind noch dazu komplett verbaut. Das Hotel war die teuerste und zugleich schlechteste Unterkunft unserer Kreta-Rundreise.

Schönes Hotel mit idealer Strandnähe
Das Caretta Beach Hotel liegt ideal direkt am Strand. Die Zimmer bzw. die Apartments sind sehr groß und bestehen aus einer Küche, einem Wohnzimmer und einem Schlafzimmer. Die Ausstattung ist ein wenig veraltet, jedoch intakt und erfüllt seinen Zweck. Das Badezimmer ist in Ordnung, jedoch beim Verwenden der Dusche wird das Bad überflutet, da der Duschvorhang nicht bis zum Boden hin ausreicht. Im Ganzen ist es ein solides Hotel mit schönem Pool, sehr nettem und hilfsbereitem Personal und perfekter Strandlage.

Individuelles Strandhotel mit Charme
Wir waren im September dort und haben ein Studio bewohnt, was für 2 Personen ausreichend groß und sehr sauber war. Leider liegen diese im Erdgeschoss und der seitliche Meerblick ist etwas eingeschränk. Es gibt eine große, liebevoll bepflanzte Terasse, die sich verschiedene Studios teilen (z. T. abgetrennt), nur wenig überdacht (bei Regen ungünstig). Das Bad ist etwas eng und es mangelt an Ablagen. Es gibt nur 2 deutsche Fernsehsender, dafür funktioniert das WLAN in allen Bereichen sehr gut. Das Hotel liegt direkt am Strand, das Wasser ist sehr sauber, fällt aber nicht flach ab und es gibt immer etwas Strömung. Man kann für 4 € Liegen und Schirm mieten. Am Pool ist es gratis und Badetücher gibt es für 1€. Das Hotel liegt ruhig, Supermärkte und Tavernen gibt es in der Nähe und auch ohne Mietwagen ist der Ort zu Fuss erreichbar bzw. die Bushaltestelle ca. 10 min. entfernt, von da kommt man günstig und unkompliziert z.B. nach Chania. Man kann im Hotel frühstücken, zwischendurch gibt es Snacks und am Abend kocht Katarina traditionelle, leckere Gerichte oder man verpflegt sich selbst. Das Hotel wird familiär geführt, Thea und das Team versuchen, jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen, Danke an Thea und Katharina. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen gern wieder. Zum Schluss bleibt zu sagen, wer keine All-Inklusive-Luxusanlage mit Animation braucht, sondern das Individuelle, Familiäre, Ursprüngliche und Besondere zum Abschalten sucht, ist hier bestens aufgehoben und wird sich wohlfühlen.
