Aussicht: Atemberaubend. Zum Strand: Nur 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Trotz all der Mängel haben wir das Beste daraus gemacht und den Urlaub genossen. Tja, was soll man über einen Service sagen, der praktisch nicht vorhanden war? Bei Ankunft gab es drei Rollen Klopapier für vier Personen – für einen Aufenthalt von zehn Tagen! Zwei kleine Küchentücher zum Abtrocknen des Geschirrs, und das war’s dann auch. Kein weiterer Service, kein Austausch von Handtüchern, keine Reinigung, nichts. Sauberkeit und Wartung Beim Einzug war die Villa sauber und aufgeräumt – das war erfreulich. Aber während des gesamten Aufenthalts (10 Tage, 4 Erwachsene, 3 Kinder) gab es keine frischen Handtücher oder sonstige Reinigung. Das ist bei dem Preis absolut enttäuschend. Wasserprobleme – jeden Tag! Täglich (!) Probleme mit der Wasserversorgung. Mal gab es kein warmes Wasser, mal gar kein Wasser. Auf Nachfrage beim Vermieter – Schulterzucken. Hilfe? Fehlanzeige. Elektrogeräte = Schrott Wasserkocher: Deckel schließt nicht richtig Toaster: Verbrennt alles, egal auf welcher Stufe Backofen: Beim Versuch, einen Kuchen zu backen, war nach 10 Minuten die ganze Küche voller Rauch – Kuchen verkohlt Waschmaschine: Laut wie ein Presslufthammer, besonders abends Staubsauger: Wahrscheinlich älter als das Haus selbst, mit vollem, nie gewechseltem Beutel Pool & Ausstattung Pool war eiskalt – kälter als das Meer. Für die Kleinkinder war das eine Riesenenttäuschung. Geschirr und Besteck: Viel zu wenig. Die Villa ist für 6 Personen ausgelegt, aber es gibt nicht mal genug Teller oder Besteck, um gemeinsam zu essen. Allgemeiner Eindruck: Vieles wirkt zusammengewürfelt ##### Alexander ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Blue Bay Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Blue-Bay-Resort-Hotel.h2535367.Hotel-Information) > - [Malevizi Hotels Pennystella Village Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Pennystella-Village-Apartments.h13401398.Hotel-Information) > - [Vanisko Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Vanisko-Hotel.h11513073.Hotel-Information) > - [Out Of The Blue All Inclusive Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Out-Of-The-Blue-Capsis-Elite-Resort.h1164026.Hotel-Information) > - [Paralos Lifestyle Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Paralos-Lifestyle-Beach.h30676780.Hotel-Information) > - [Marilena Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-CHC-Marilena-Hotel-All-Inclusive.h1092366.Hotel-Information) > - [Mitsis Selection Rinela](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Rinela-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2335564.Hotel-Information) > - [Ocean Villas Complex by Ocean Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Villa-Ocean.h30077487.Hotel-Information) > - [Fodele Beach & Water Park Holiday Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Fodele-Beach-Water-Park-Holiday-Resort-All-Inclusive.h922550.Hotel-Information) > - [Minos Imperial Beach Resort Milatos Crete](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Beach-Resort-Milatos.h660214.Hotel-Information) > - [Vaya Suites by Omilos Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Vaya-Suites-By-Omilos-Hotels.h100874308.Hotel-Information) > - [Albatross Studios & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Albatross-Studios-Apartments.h15068830.Hotel-Information) > - [Maria Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Maria-Apartments.h2860732.Hotel-Information) > - [Castello Infinity Suites - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Castello-Infinity-Suites.h63061738.Hotel-Information) > - [Gouves Water Park Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Gouves-Water-Park-Holiday-Resort.h699330.Hotel-Information) > - [Agapi Beach Resort - Premium All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Agapi-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1056753.Hotel-Information) > - [Emi Seaside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Emi-Seaside.h55204952.Hotel-Information) > - [Sun Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Sun-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h34944283.Hotel-Information) > - [Acro Wellness Suites - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Acro-Wellness-Suites-Adults-Only.h42005805.Hotel-Information) > - [Arhodiko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Arhodiko.h9707250.Hotel-Information) > - [Seaside A Lifestyle Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Seaside-A-Lifestyle-Resort-All-Inclusive.h2312612.Hotel-Information) > - [Alexander House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Alexander-House.h1092348.Hotel-Information) > - [Beachfront Villa in Crete - Epavli Luxury Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Epavli-Villa-Private-Beach.h21975043.Hotel-Information) > - [Peninsula Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Peninsula-Resort-Spa.h4680601.Hotel-Information) > - [Atlantica Akti Zeus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Atlantica-Akti-Zeus.h13299479.Hotel-Information) > - [NEMA Design Hotel & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-NEMA-Design-Hotel-Spa.h12376062.Hotel-Information) > - [Irida Mindful Living](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Irida-Hotel-Apartments.h4110481.Hotel-Information) > - [Petousis Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Petousis-Hotel-Suites.h36259047.Hotel-Information) > - [Chrissy's Paradise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Hotel-Felicity.h37253035.Hotel-Information) ---
