hotel Atali Village 3*, o. Crete

Most of the reviews before 2018 can be safely ignored. The main buildings of the hotel have been completely rebuilt. The rooms are large, bright and fashionable. The most central one is building 4 (rooms 400 and above). Those who are lucky and get an odd number will have a view of the sea, and an even number will have a view of the pool (there are semi-basement rooms with a view of the wall and passage). Music from local animation can only be heard from the rooms facing the pool. And although there are a lot of rooms, there is not much chance that you will be accommodated in central rooms on the 3-4 floors at the height of the season (the hotel is packed to capacity). As far as I understand, this is the largest hotel in the village of Bali. Nice people work at the reception (they even speak Russian :-), but nodding and agreeing with everything you say, they remember very little, you have to remind them three or four times (for example, to extend the room until the evening for 30 euros). It feels like we look the same to them :-). The bartenders are a little frostbitten, they pour it as if I owe them something, and at the same time I seem to smile very nicely (let me remind you: the hotel operates on an all-inclusive basis, including alcoholic drinks). It was easier to go to the store and buy the same wine and raki than to look at the sour faces of the bartenders (we used the bartenders to uncork our bottles). There are no complaints about the food. Where the encounter with the human factor of the staff is minimized, everything is super (dishes are served, dirty plates fly away :-). WiFi in the hotel, as for Europe, is simply excellent (we bought mobile Internet - it just sucks) And don’t look at the pictures of the hotel on the Internet, those in the future. Everything is much more compact and closer. And you need to climb a maximum of 50 meters (the rest of the climb is for cars). P.S. Why was the review so positive - yes, because we lived in one of the central rooms in August :-)
