Bedømmelse af Galeana Beach

af 728mettek Østerbro, Danmark

Dejlig afslappet græsk stemning - fremragende til prisen !!

9 dages afslappet badeferie, har vi haft på Galeana Beach Hotel. Efter prisen skal opholdet have fuld stjernestatus :-) Det er billigt, men man får "meget" for pengene. Hotellet er pænt i hvide og turkise farver, med masser af smukke planter og blomster. Ferielejligheden er lille, men der er hvad der skal være, fire tallerkener, fire glas, fire knive osv. Morgenmaden er hæderlig, frisk brød, ost, feta, græsk yoghurt og honning. Kaffen er forfærdelig, men den i cafeen er super !! Der er altid en ledig solvogn og superskønt ved havet, som ligger lige i forlængelse af ferieområdet. Havet er vildt og flot. Vi oplevede rødt flag flere dage. Temperaturen har været meget fin, op til 30 grader, men meget udholdelig, da der er frisk brise fra havet. Om aftenen har vi besøgt Rethymnon, taget bussen. Billetter kan købes i det lille supermarked for 1,30 euro. Restaurant La Boheme kan anbefales, dyr i græsk sammenhæng, men alle pengene værd. Nyn og Ai er helt uovertruffen, der er ikke mange kunder.... Men maden er helt fantastisk !!! Og meget billigere end de andre pommes fritessteder...

Original og skøn græsk familiehotel

Skønt og originalt græsk familiehotel uden kontinental wannabe som meget andet der kan opleves alle andre steder. Rent, pænt, utroligt serviceminded personale (familien selv), dejlig sandstrand, swimmingpool og ikke mindst til en rigtig fornuftig pris. Kan kun anbefale det på varmeste hvis man ikke lige er til store hoteller. Ligger blot 6 km fra Rethymnon - men med bus der kører hver 1/2 time og til 1,3 EUR for en billet, så er det nemt at komme ind til den nærmeste større by i området.

Blau und Weiß, Entspannung, Sonne und Meer genießen.

Im Hotel fühlt man sich in ein griechisches Dorf versetzt. Sämtliche Fotos, die man im internet findet, entsprechen der Realität. Die Unterkunft ist sehr gepflegt, sauber und die üppigen mediterranen Pflanzen sind einfach wunderschön. Sämtliche Mitarbeiter sind sehr zuvorkommend und serviceorientiert. Die Rezeptionnistinnen sprechen gut Deutsch und Englisch, sind sehr herzlich, hilfsbereit und gut informiert. Unser Appartment lag im Obergeschoss. Die Ausstattung einfach, aber geschmackvoll, mit kleinem Balkon, Kochecke mit Wasserkocher und Kaffeemaschine, Dusche klein - aber ausreichend - , Betten bequem, Fön vorhanden. Das Frühstück landestypisch mit frischen Tomaten, Gurken, Feta, Yoghurt, Oliven gesund und schmackhaft. Der Pool war supersauber. Das Hotel, sogar mit Kinderpool, ist kinderfreundlich. Der Weg zum breiten Sand-/Kieselstrand ist schön. Badeschuhe sind hilfreich. Das Meer manchmal sehr stürmig. In der näheren Umgebung Tavernen und auch ein hervorragendes Restaurant, Supermarkt, Geldautomat, Bushaltestelle in der Nähe. Taxi nach Rethimno 10,-€. Das einzig negative: die Straße vor dem Hotel ist gut befahren und durchaus laut und staubig, die nähere Umgebung mit Geschäften dadurch nicht attraktiv.

Simple experience for little money.

The atmosphere is as described everywhere. A small Greek village where everyone has their own little apartment. It is very quiet and cozy and yet less than 50 meters from the apartments is a small town bordering Rethymno where you can eat and shop well. Although the gastronomy has adapted a lot to tourism (i.e. you can often buy schnitzel, hamburgers or English breakfasts), some restaurants have still remained true to Greek traditions and sell very good, typical Greek dishes. The outside of the houses is decorated in a Santorini style. But they are very simply equipped. However, these are also getting a bit old. Sometimes windows are difficult to close or the hinges are so bent that they no longer open at all. Nevertheless, the rooms are clean and tidy. The walls are so thick that there is no WiFi or cell phone reception in the room. The WiFi is also very slow. If you ever get reception somewhere, you should be prepared for a maximum download and upload speed of around 1 Mbit/s (it gets even worse in the evening). For example, it is impossible to watch a film. Cell phone reception is virtually non-existent throughout the entire hotel grounds. Sometimes you have to go down onto the sidewalk from your balcony to make a phone call in order to get good reception. Using mobile data is also impossible. On the beach you can connect to other hotel or bar networks, some of which do not require a password. I measured download and upload speeds of 10Mbits/s in one network. Making phone calls, writing or watching videos is so easy on the beach. In the morning the hotel offers breakfast from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. This is comparatively very small and has relatively little selection, but personally I still found everything I needed. The service at reception or at breakfast is always very nice. Room service does a good job and is very accommodating. Overall, the hotel is more for people who are looking for a simple vacation for little money.

Perfect relaxing holiday in pretty and friendly little hotel

This gorgeous little aparthotel was a perfect find for us. Very pretty with white walls and blue shutters, sitting right on a huge stretch of beach in a quiet little resort just outside of Rethymno. We requested a quiet 1st floor room and we given room 45 which was ideal. Rooms are basic but have everything you need and are spotlessly clean and beds made every day. Fresh towels and linen twice a week. Could not fault the cleanliness which was superb and staff service throughout the property. Everyone who works there is so friendly. Breakfast every day is fresh and plentiful. I cannot understand reviews that mention little choice. There was cereal, fruit, all sorts of different breads, honey, jam, eggs, cheese, ham and more. Excellent value for money and included in our package holiday cost. WiFi is available throughout the hotel. In some areas it is a little weaker than others but again - works perfectly fine and I can’t understand why anyone would think otherwise. Beds are very comfortable. Single beds but you can push them together if you are a couple. Mattresses are comfortable and good supply of pillows. There is a lovely bathroom with shower over bath and a small and perfectly adequate kitchenette area. Rooms have TV as well. AC is available but it costs 12 euro per day which we thought was rather expensive, but I dare say it’s all to do with energy prices on the island as we found several places were reluctant to put AC on or use fans. It made for a few hot and uncomfortable nights so that would be my only criticism. However, halfway through our 2nd week the weather turned noticeably cooler so we didn’t need air conditioning Beds around the little pool are free but on the beach they are 7 or 8 euros for a set with a sunshade. Again - a bit on the expensive side, but not so bad if you are spending the whole day on the beach. We booked 3 excursions through the hotel reception and they were all very good. Elafonisi, Balos and Gramvousa and South Island. We didn’t use the hotel’s pool bar as we found it had no atmosphere so we used the Caribbean/reggae beach bar next door which was really nice. We would definitely return to Galeana. It was perfect for a quiet and relaxing holiday right on the beach. If you want 5 star luxury pay the price ! Galeana is excellent value for money and highly recommended
