Wonderful hot (30c) week 13th to 20th September, inexpensive holiday courtesy of Travelodeal. Beautiful layout of a Greek village, our apartment was 2 story, equipped kitchen, TV, CD & DVD players (?), and huge comfortable bed. Aircon effective enough, failed one afternoon, was fixed immediately! 3 outdoor pools + 1 inside, loads of sunbeds available. Everywhere spotlessly clean, the pool guys regularly attending to the pools after hours. As for Rethymno, what a marvellous place to spend your days, walking around the old narrow streets, to the Venetian harbour & old fort. Get there by local bus (number 20) in 25 minutes. And lots of cafes, restaurants, bars, shops, car rentals etc etc just a few steps from the hotel. Food, glorious food! Great choice every day, chefs replenishing the dishes all the time. And such friendly & thoughtful staff, especially the older guy & gal who seemed to be in charge of the restaurant. Gave me a birthday cake on my birthday, found & retrieved my hat more than once, always smiling & chatting to you, in English, German plus one or two other languages. We took a day tour of the area, north coast to south coast & back via villages & gorges, well worth the cash, Yanis is your guy for a great experience. Any negatives? Well, didn't see any entertainment on offer in the evenings, and not much, apart from 2 karaoke bars, in the locality. Wifi not the strongest signal in our flat. Transfer is around 1 hour 30. But that's about all. Grand Leoniki is now top of our list, we WILL return! Thanks to you all at the Residence for making our stay so wonderful. X.
