We have had the best vacation ever with our 2.5 years old son at the Paradisio Baby and Children hotel.
The apartments, huge playground and gardens are completely safe for children, they basically can go wherever they want to go as the complete area and the swimming pool is secured by a fence. Our little one had the time of his life and certainly did not want to leave! There is a playground with several slides, trampoline, small children house, a karting track, small children bikes, skelters, larger bikes for the parents with children seats, a children pool, pool toys, a pool for the parents, pool beds, and 6 or 7 apartments.
The apartments are spacious with 2 bedrooms, a living and open kitchen, complete with fridge, coffee machine, toasters, oven, etc. Also the apartments are furnished for children: there are all kinds of toys in the bedrooms, the paintings on the walls with stars, a drawing board, there are baby cots / baby beds with linnen with cars/princesses, the bathroom has a lower sink so children can wash their hands themselves, as well as a higher bench in the shower so you can easily wash your child; it seems everything has been thought of!
The location could not be better with a beach as beautiful as perfect for children with shallow water literally a few minutes bike ride away. Still the large town Chania is a short drive by car, and nice to visit for a day or two, but not really necessary since all nice cafe's and restaurants and beautiful beaches are in the neighborhood.
This was certainly also the best value for money and best hospitality we have ever had: the free bikes for children and parents, toys, child facilities, breakfast with fresh fruit and vegetables made by grandfather, as well as wine, home made cake we found on the table when we arrived back at night, the BBQ we were invited to with delicious local food.. there seemed no end to the hospitality of Kostas and Katerina! They have kids themselves, Maria and Konstantina, which was also very nice for our little boy. But the best was the endless hospitality and friendliness of Soula, who made sure every day that we had a perfect vacation, picked us up from the airport closeby, showed us the supermarket and the best restaurants. If you are looking for a great vacation for your children and for yourself as well, with low airfares of Ryan Air and summer temperatures already starting from April, this is the place.. We came back completely rested. Many thanks for a perfect vacation, Kostas, Katerina, Soula, Maria, Konstantina, grandfather and grandmother! Best regards from (rainy!) Holland
