Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
First, despite our late arrival, a plate and we were kindly offered. In the room we found wine and two small bottles of water, with what had been sold to us as "fruit basket"; an apple as well as an orange, without knife to eat it. There was no safe, although it was stated on the Pension Description. The lack was reported to the reception on the first day, nothing was done. The air conditioning was cool. It stopped when we left the room which also had poor thermal and sound insulation. The fridge worked but was not stocked. There was only one garbage can. Unfortunately, cleaning was no longer done during our stay and the sheets were simply laid on the beds. Tap water was not safe to drink and the bar did not offer still water. Since I don't drink sparkling drinks, we bought water packs. Fortunately, natural mineral water was very cheap in Crete, around 20 cents a litre in a conventional supermarket, but two to three times more expensive in small shops in tourist places like Bali. The buffet was rich, if not repetitive. A downside for desserts: watermelon, melon, grapes, yogurt, honey, not very good cake, colorful jelly. In the evening in addition to poor quality vanilla, chocolate or red fruit ice cream. The staff was very friendly except for one employee who cleared a little too quickly. The lunch cart always consisted of a slice of bread with a little cheese and accompanied by an apple and two shortbreads, which was insufficient. With regard to the "restaurant", the positive points were mainly its very low attendance and the view of the sea. The beach is a little far away and not 100m as mentioned, with some rocks in the water and algae. The water is warm in summer. The public bus stop is well on the national road 1km away. There's a ticket shed. Few hotels are closer to it in Bali, so I recommend if you want to make excursions on your own. A small train with excessive Awards in my opinion connects the hotels to the public bus stop or beaches once an hour during the day. Finally, the animators are great. At this Inn, the "Reservation" of deckchairs is prohibited. If you find that the number of “reserved” seats exceeds the number of people present around the pool, you can request a deckchair, as the staff are dressed to remove personal belongings.

Pension very well located, man-sized with 2 storey buildings, near the beach (200 meters + stairs to access), near the city of Bali and its port.A really top animation team, we spent extraordinary evenings, bravo to Demsy, Margot and Lamia, lucky you were there, you knew how to make us forget the daily life! So much for the positives. On the other hand, the rooms, of correct size but very poorly maintained, cleaning is never done. We stayed 15 days and the bathrooms (washbasin, toilet, showers) were never cleaned, the towels changed 1 time, they retype the bed and that's all! The beach towels loaned against a deposit of 30 euros, knowing that we keep you 10 euros for washing! And finally the restoration.... Invariable or damaged food!! Indeed many sick holidaymakers during their stay! Not sure the cold chain is respected! This Inn is owned by a private individual who is not invested in anything, taking a nap at the reception or watching movies without worrying about the guests. Nothing professional. What a pity because this establishment has real potential!So please do not market it anymore!!!

Went to the Resol Liza Mary for two weeks and returned two days ago. We booked a superior room with sea view and a standard room. After arriving at around 2300 hours we were directed to a building across the road from the main site up some stairs above a shop. The room was less than standard. No sea view and not in any stretch of the imagination superior. The bathroom was poor the tv didn’t work the light switches worked in any random order. We complained the next morning and had already looked round the site and noticed some rooms had private pools, not advertised on any of the holiday websites or even the hotels own site and social media. We eventually managed to get better rooms but paid an extra 600 for one with a pool. Is was disappointed that the staff didn’t understand that two rooms next to each other were not of a superior description and they would have been quite happy for us to stay in them for the duration of our stay. I am aware that an all inclusive will have restrictions on drinks, not a problem. Food was adequate at best but the place was geared towards French visitors, most of the entertainment staff were French and geared there approach to the French visitors. It would be good for backpackers and those who like hostels

Family stay with our 3 children (20, 19 and 13 years) Small Family Pension well located. Small shops and bars near the Pension, nearby beaches with some room to put your towel down without having to rent a deckchair (some deckchairs reserved for the club on one of the beaches). As for the Pension, it is sorely lacking in maintenance, cleanliness and hygiene. Cleaning is done succinctly every day but also between holidaymakers (we had a room by the pool, we saw the comings and goings of holidaymakers and especially the lack of cleaning in between, never seen anything but a broom and a shovel, no bucket or mop). As for the general organization: arrivals and departures every day and at all hours and certainly overbooking, we were forced to sleep one night in an annex building of the Pension, in a dilapidated room with 4 beds when we were 5 (a small folding armchair for our youngest child) where it seems to me that it is the employees who are usually housed there (regularly crossed employees in this building). It is the "governress" and the other employees who found us an extra bed pite at night. No move from the management. On the all inclusive side: drinks at the bar varied with local alcohol (or non-alcoholic) as in many places of this type, waiters without the whole friendly. Regarding the restaurant, we had the Impression of eating in the canteen every day, no variety nevertheless the fries are excellent 😉 (but we do not come to Crete to eat fries 😂). Being on the island, the supply can certainly be complicated nevertheless we have not consumed all the products grown on the island itself (it is a shame!!). As for animation, the whole animation team does a lot to make the holidaymakers have a good stay, and it is successful. No child club seen (but not concerned for our part), no teen club but Things to do (sports or not) are open to all ages. Friendly moments around the aperitif games, great disappointment on the evening entertainment, at 11 pm everything stops clear (obligation imposed by the manager of the establishment following complaints). Too bad, many vacationers would be willing to continue the evening. The entertainment team advises places to continue the evening (even if we are not driven). We did not benefit from the excursions (they are a little expensive and sometimes you have to add the meal, to 5 it figures quickly). Many tour operators who seem cheaper around the Pension (based on reviews from other guests but not tested) As for the Fram correspondents, Julie (the hostess) is listening but the solutions are to be found by ourselves (many requests from the reception to get the 2 rooms we should have had upon arrival). Regarding delegate Fram M. Donné (whom we are advised to contact following our problem) there were no unread messages and no calls. It seems to select situations, other disgruntled holidaymakers like us, have been contacted!?! In the end: Crete is a beautiful island to discover however it will be our first and certainly our last stay with Fram. I don't understand how such an Inn keeps being in their catalog, it doesn't give you confidence to book Other Trips.

1 week stay in September 2024, starting 17th. Be ready to pay tourist tax the first thing at the reception when you check in. If you don’t know French , you better learn before you go there :)) entertainment is in french and they rarely speak English or at least a version of it. Very cheap soft drinks , rum, gin and local spirits only, if you want something better , you have to pay. Bottled Water is not for free, you pay for that as well. We had a Superior Room with Private Swimming Pool, the room was decent, bathroom was dirty, toilets weren’t cleaned for some time and the shower wasn’t working very well. You could still shower but be careful of the hot water. With this room , we got a very cheap bottle of white wine and two apples:)). We did not have any kettle , coffee, tea, cups or glasses. We never had the swimming pool area cleaned or the table outside. Towels changed every 4 days, only one bath hood available. Never changed the bedding. The water in the pool was very cold and we couldn’t bathe more than once. Food will be the same everyday and very bad deserts. Cheap ingredients and a lot of sugar. Kitchen staff touch the food with no gloves or kitchen utensils. By the third day, we couldn’t eat there anymore. The soft drinks were something horrible. Very Good location. The hotel is very close to beach ( both of them) and to very good restaurants. Pool snacks will be the same cold offering every day , leftovers from breakfast and Lunch. Maybe you could say is a two star but definitely not a four star.

Despite a top animation team, I put a 2 because the Pension is to flee. 11 day stay booked with Trips Hub, unfortunately the Pension is a 3🌟➕️ only because it has rooms with private pools. Cleaning non-existent in the rooms and in 11 days past the exteriors were cleaned the day before our Check-out. Canteen to escape for an all inclusive, no varieties, omelets soak in water, cut fruits (if any) are deposited with hands by staff, you must constantly wait or ask plates or cutlery, on terrace see eat with stray cats. Fruit and wine basket sold in the service non-existent (2 apples including 1 rotten) sheets that serve as cover sheet too small, no alèse or pillow protector. Towel on arrival stained, water pressure for showers at least in our room, a.petiye bottle of water only on arrival, I had to put the trash in front of the front door for me to be emptied on the 3rd day. Last Sunday I booked a room with private pool for the last 4 days (none available before) , 200th paid in cash and I had to ask for an invoice because the receptionist just noted the date of the room change and told me it's ok🤔. The room was only ready at 1.30 pm instead of 11 am (the previous occupants had already left in the morning) and I had to go 3 times to the reception to tell them ( yes you have to constantly move, no phone in the rooms) . There was still hair from previous travelers in the shower and room. Yellow pillow, cobweb at the chandelier, no curtain closed all day (our room overlooking the main pool) private swimming pool without lighting at night (again it took until the day before my Check-out to tell me that it was not repairable... they knew it well before my booking😠), dangerous sports equipment (several accidents with the treadmill). Club swimming pool to escape (rashes of buttons), exterior and poorly maintained furniture. Some travellers found themselves staying one night upon arrival in the staff studios opposite. Pros: the animation team: Chaima, Demsy and Loulou at the top, they deserve to work in this Pension that many guests flee during the day. The seaside villa which is beautiful with several beaches, shops nearby, Things to do. Julie who takes care of the excursions, gives good advice and the guides for the excursions are tops. Staff canteen and bar generally friendly but lacking and those present are not trained enough, the manager must hire more in high season, profit is good but not at the expense of vacationers and staff! Thanks to Julie and the guides who were good advice and offer nice excursions.

First night was horrendous, spent it in a box room over a garage with hole in door where someone had punched it & air con that didnt work. Next morning the receptionist sorted us a superior room which we had paid for. Breakfast was fine, quality of food available on lunch & dinner was ad-hoc & sometimes strange!!! Veggie option, meat option, pasta with sauce & a tray full of sprouts??!! All inclusive alcohol was given in small kiddie type plastic cups n watered down. All the entertainment was aimed at the french guests, quizzes, karaoke, music nights, all in french! Kids club was for the french, no ice cream for the kids all day, only available after evening meal!!?! We spent most of our £700 spending money on meals & alcohol away from the hotel. The beach was nearby & was beautiful as were local people & local bwrs & restaurants. Loved Bali, disappointed at the hotel, wont stay there again.

This trip was one of the best trips till now. Me and my friends were amazed by the view from our hotel room, of course, the room was so clean like nobody stayed there before. The staff is full of nice and polite people, you can talk almost every subject with them if you are bored or just if you want to. I think the chef is a great one because the food was exceptional and beside the taste, it was more healthier (even I lost a few pounds). I recommend this hotel, is not very expensive but the experience you gain from this vacation will be unforgettable.

We visited this hotel in mid August arriving at at 2am. We were shown to our superior room with a private pool. The room had a double bed and a metal zbed. The room itself was tiny and tired. There is no wardrobe just a rail with about 4 coat hangers and a couple of shelves to put your stuff on. The toilet in our superior room didn't refill after flushing unless you hit it! The shower didn't stay on for the first few days until the maintenance guy came and looked at it. We had a fridge which you couldn't open fully as the stained door would hit the side of the bed. They did have bath robes and slippers, however the bottom of the robes looked like they had been dunked in urine, not even close to being a superior room. There were no tea and coffee facilities as advertised and one of the lights in the room was hanging off. Our pool was ok apart from the light not working and dangling off the side. The hotel itself is very geared up for the French, who are given different coloured wristbands, which I assume gives them better drinks and some other perks. The pool bar has some friendly staff but the drinks option on the all inclusive are severely limited and the beer is warm and pretty rubbish. Breakfast was OK but in general the food was rubbish and very little variation, the worst I've had in crete. There is an a' la carte restaurant over the road from the hotel you can book. However no one will tell you this and I believe you have to pay for your drinks. The entertainment staff are OK, however they are a French company and as is with most things it I aimed towards the Large French contingent. Bali itself is a nice resort and thankfully has some lovely reasonably priced restaurants along the beach front. In hindsight had I been aware that the hotel is geared towards the French I wouldn't have booked this hotel and having stayed here I wouldn't return as It is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in abroad and amazes me it has 4☆ rating, which is overrated by 3☆.

Il faut y être avant 9h pour avoir un transat et avant 8h si vous voulez avoir le choix. Les gens laissent leur serviette dessus toute la journée et parfois ne l'utilisent qu'une ou 2 heures
