Strictly speaking, Sunshine Village 4 * is not a hotel, butthe whole hotel complex. And this is not immediately say, since the constituent parts of this town are interconnected by an underground tunnel. So, let's understand what the "Village of Sunshine" is (this is the translation of the name of the complex). It was built in the early nineties for the rest of tourists with children from Western Europe. And now in the main hotel the contingent of tourists for eighty percent is Germans. Prior to the beginning of two thousand and twelve, the hotel was called "Liktos Hotel". It was then acquired by the Sunshine Railway Clubs network. Immediately be warned against confusion. On Crete, there is another hotel with a similar name. And his stardom is the same. It is called Sunshine Hotel Village Hersonissos 4 * and belongs to another network - “Best Western”. This hotel is located, as it can be judged from the name, not far from the town of Hersonissos. And the hotel complex described here is located eight kilometers from Ierapetra. It is the southernmost city in Europe.
Location Sunshine Crete Village 4 *
Near the complex is a small Cretansmall village Kuttsunari. The main hotel of the complex, which is called "Club Kalimera", is located on the front line of the sea. Across the road and on a hill, seven hundred meters from the beach, there is an “Extra” hotel. It is called so - Sunshine Crete Village Annex 4 *. Crete has two international airports. From Heraklion to the hotel complex - about 100 km. Chania International Airport is even further - two hundred and fifty kilometers. But getting to the hotel yourself is not a problem. The island is well developed bus service. A stop is just a hundred meters from the entrance to the main hotel. Free buses run between the hotels of the complex.
Territory
The guests of "Club Kalimera Beach" are inprivileged position. Its large building stands on the first line of the beach. But the “Anneks” guests are not offended by the fate. The territory of this hotel is immediately visible, for which the whole complex was called "village" - a village. After all, this hotel consists of seven two and three-story cottages. Like Hersonissos Sunshine Village 4 *, “Annex” stands on a hill far from the sea (about eight hundred meters). But, unlike the guests in Hersonissos, Annex 4 * guests can come to the beach by a free bus that runs between parts of the complex very often. Want to go? There is nothing simpler: an underground passage is built under a busy road. In addition, the residents of "Annex" can use the entire infrastructure of the coastal hotel: restaurants a la carte, bars, swimming pools. On the hill you can only sleep. The territory of the complex in the total is just awesome. Reviews say it resembles a Mediterranean tale. Especially beautiful panoramic views open from the "additional" hotel.
Where guests lodge
In the complex Sunshine Village 4 * in totalthree hundred twenty six numbers. Most of them are located in the coastal hotel. All of them belong to the same category - “standard”. But there are double rooms and a "family room". The latter are intended for family accommodation and consist of two bedrooms. Some family rooms have a sliding door between rooms and on television in each room. In the main hotel, the rooms have balconies, either facing the sea or the garden. In the “Additional” hotel, guests are also offered to choose between a double “standard” and a “family room”. But then they can choose where to live: in the building or in one of the fifteen bungalows. Filling numbers at all almost the same. Air conditioning with individual remote control will help to regulate the temperature in the bedroom. There is also a TV with a plasma screen (there are also Russian-language channels), a telephone. The bathrooms with showers feature a hairdryer. Cleaning maids carry out daily, put hygiene supplies, change towels.
Where are the guests fed
All hotels of the hotel complex SunshineVillage 4 * (Crete) introduced the concept of “All inclusive”. Meals are on schedule, but reviews say that you can eat almost around the clock. An early breakfast smoothly turns into a late one, and there is already dinner, followed by afternoon tea, etc. In both hotels there are main restaurants where meals are served in buffet mode. In the "Kalimera Club" is "Dionissos", and in "Sunshine Village Annex" - "Minos". In terms of food in the main restaurants, the complex has a simple rule. The guests of Annex should eat breakfast and dinner at Minos, and dine on the beach, at Dionissos. The hotel on the hill serves afternoon snacks from half past three to four and tea with sweets from five to six. In "Dionissos" there is a children's buffet. There is a hotel complex and several restaurants a la carte. A single visit to each of them is free of charge for the guest, subject to the preliminary reservation of the table. These are themed restaurants of Italian (“Mamma mia”) and Greek (“Zorbas” tavern) cuisine. Enough on site and bars. They offer an unlimited amount of soft drinks and alcoholic drinks of Greek production.
What do nutritional reviews say?
All tourists agree that in bothSunshine Village 4 * hotels are excellently fed. Especially travelers liked the dinners. Every day they are themed, dedicated to the culinary specialties of any country or region. Tourists claim that in two weeks no dinner was repeated. The guests were satisfied with the quality of alcoholic cocktails, delicious pastries, lots of fruits and vegetables. Each main restaurant has a corner of Greek cuisine, where you can taste Cretan delicacies. Ladies liked the tradition of tea drinking at five o'clock. But, notice the reviews, too few bars in the "Annex". All infrastructure is concentrated in the main hotel of the complex.
Beach and swimming pools
Despite the fact that both hotels of the complexSunshine Village Hotel 4 * have the same star, the difference in the price they have is about fifteen euros per night. Club Kalimera is a more expensive hotel, which is logical: it is on the front page, and you can walk to the sea about three minutes from the building. The guests of the "Annex" have to either go down to the beach through an underground passage, or go to him by minivan. Cars ply often, but not in the way that the tourists would like. As for the beach, there are no differences of opinion and there can not be. Pebbles are true, volcanic, smooth and shiny, like a monopasier. Sunset in the sea is very good, the lagoon is protected from winds and storms. Sun beds and umbrellas are free on the private beach of the complex. But for towels charge a deposit of ten euros. Both hotels have their own pools. Based on the fact that in the daytime, all activity is transferred to the "Club Kalimera Sunshine", there are more swimming tanks. There are in the seaside hotel and a swimming pool with slides for adults, and for relaxation, and two small "paddling pool" for the kids. They are all filled with fresh water. In one of the children's pools there are slides.
Hotel complex infrastructure
"Additional" hotel is designed tomeasured and relaxing holiday. There is no animation, very quiet in the evenings. All active life is concentrated in Club Calimera Sunshine Village 4 *. There you will learn Greek dancing, aqua aerobics in the pool, tennis courts, and a disco.

Guests of this hotel are free to use the sauna and jacuzzi, while the massage salon and beauty center are available at an additional cost. Internet access is available, but only in public places. And it costs a lot of money: five euros in an hour and a half. Much attention in the "Kalimera Sunshine Village" is given to sport. The entire complex offers tennis courts, an outdoor gym, a playground and boccia equipment, etc.
