ALBATROS SPA & RESORT HOTEL ^{* * *}

Me I was in the new part in June and it was. There was not crowds. In fact, it depends on the period and the price you pay. You can not expect anything in August when it is!

First of all, the bus threw us in front of a gloomy street, and the hotel 200m indicated to us further. Very welcoming!

For the first night in the old part of the hotel: the decoration is old, with a shower for half a nobody (very small) with a tights curtain to the buttocks which does not go down to the bottom of the shower! Therefore water spills in the bathroom! There is no place to store your belongings. The soundproofing of the rooms is really nonexistent, really too noisy because the room therefore gives next to the reception you can hear the arrivals and departures of the guests at all hours of the day or night.

For our second day, we arrive at the end according to lunch, the receptionist explains us that you will change us room (one gives us a superior room) because there is a problem in the bathroom. On are the rooms the prices of the nights noted and in fact the same prices are displayed then is this really superior room??? They transfer us in the new part of the building which is much cleaner and more spacious.

Drinks in the hotel: they are not included in the price of the meals. You have to pay an astronomical sum for water (€2.70 for 1 litre).
Cuisine: the very large disadvantage. The canteen is better, opinion unanimously shared by all French on site. Fried pasta/rice/will be our 3 friends of holidays. Heated one day on the other by changing sauce simply. The fries unpeeled, they are soft and swim in oil. Clearly not very good for us this Cretan cuisine. Odd tastes and paths of cooking are not great. Almost no typical dish. People ruent themselves on pizza or pasta. No real dessert, that fruit cut into pieces, gelatina of all colours and pineapple in box! A little disappointing in Crete? We are praised the orange on the island upon arrival at the hotel to have an old powder orange juice every morning... inadmissible for this level of range. This cuisine is reserved for our British neighbours!

There are very few activities organized by the hotel only 2 evenings per week in the August.

That would pass for a 2 star hotel but not to the summit.
