The first comment of the summer 2007!!!!

We are always interested on our clients' comments. It is very satisfying to see that our effort leaves happy memories to the people who trusted their holidays in us. The first comment for this season, that follows, comes from the UK. Very sweet and very interesting. (on the picture you can see Mario and Tolis having fun at the bar!!!)

Relaxed place run by a lovely family

Jun 9, 2007
Just come home from a lovely week at Angelos Village. We were met by the owner at 4am and he was happy to greet us and show us to our room. Our room and the complex were very clean and tidy. The bungalows wont win any architects awards, but this is how it is in Crete, simple! Our room was clean and tidy and we had a great view to the sea and the coast beyond. If anything we didnt like the look of was the huge electric pylon and cables which go straight over the complex. After looking at the huge structure for a while it became another piece of the landscape and it was no big deal.
The pool area was compact but clean and the bar and restaurant were right next to it. This was really cool as you couldnt help but get to know people whether you were having a lunctime drink and snack, or a late nightcap served by the lovely Mario who was very polite and helpful but at the same time you felt he was on holiday too! The whole family who run the hotel were brilliant. Whilst we were there the owners had their first child and the whole family disappeared for the day but the skeleton staff just got on with it and everybody was happy that baby Helen arrived safe and well.
Nearby and a 6 euro taxi ride away was what we called "The Villages" which were 3 interlinked villages above Hersonissos which were lovely. No loud music blaring out, just a great range of bars and tavernas. You could eat out every night and day and only see a fraction, such was the choice.
As for the hotel, the food at breakfast was fairly basic and aimed more at the Europeans than the Brits, but who cares? It was a change not to have bacon and eggs and fried bread!! The evening meals were typically Greek/Cretan. Once again no Michelin stars but great grub all the same. The best meals were at lunchtime-salads to die for and only 3 euro's max.
The main thing we noticed about the complex was how quiet it was. 800 yards away was the bustling tourist centre but we felt we were miles away and no noisy roads nearby which was bliss. It seemed as if all the guests respected each others need for peace and quiet. Saying that, quite a few of us got chatting at the bar and then we all made a bit of noise but it was done with the respect of other guests in mind...very rare!! All in all, we loved it (and we are fussy at the best of times) and we are very likely to return.
