拉託飯店(Lato Hotel)

Nous avions pris une chambre vue mer.... mais avant la mer il y avait une route très passante. Il faut donc dormir fenêtres fermées et avec des bouchons d'oreilles pour atténuer le bruit des véhicules. La chambre n'avait qu'une table de nuit d'un côté du lit ! Le petit déjeuner était très moyen. J'ai demandé des œufs au plat et j'ai eu un refus ! La piscine n'était pas propre avec des lignes d'eau jaune/brun très encrassées. Cet hôtel est à éviter

Mon épouse et moi avons eu l'immense bonheur de profiter pour la 16e année consécutive, pendant 3 semaines, de notre merveilleux paradis crétois, le LATO Hotel à Agios Nikolaos. Comme chaque fois, ce furent des magnifiques vacances en dépit de la météo un peu incertaine. Nous avons retrouvé avec joie nos amis crétois propriétaires-exploitants de cet établissement familial ainsi que beaucoup de Britanniques avec lesquels nous nous sommes liés d'amitié au fil du temps et qui nous ont offert une inoubiable surprise pour nos 50 ans de mariage (noces d'or) La pétulante Jeanette tient le bar depuis plus de 20 ans et cuisine de la petite restauration le midi ; ses fameuses "French chips" sont toujours fort demandées : elles sont presque aussi bonnes que nos frites belges. Alors qu'il y a seulement quelques années, les clients français étaient rares, ils sont de plus en plus nombreux à séjourner au LATO.

Très bon hôtel légèrement excentré de Agios Nikolaos, mais le centre ville est accessible à pied. Personnel souriant, aimable et prévenant. Les chambres sont propres et confortables (préférer côté jardin pour plus de calme). Petit déjeuner buffet servi sous les arbres au bord de la piscine. N'hésitez pas à profiter du roof top, la vue y est sympa. Parking à disposition. Très bon séjour, nous recommandons

Cet hôtel est très bien situé. Les chambres sont correctes mais petit bémol, les portes des chambres sont très très bruyantes à la fermeture. Les gens ne font pas attention. Le patron et le personnel sont adorables. Nous le recommandons.

Un hôtel où il est possible d’avoir une vue sur la mer. Outre un petit déjeuner agréable les moments au bar peuvent être de qualité et permettent de travailler son anglais, Toutes les personnes employées ou dirigeants sont à l’écoute des clients. Un parking, un ascenseur permettent d’y passer un séjour agréable

Ho soggiornato in questo hotel per due notti a luglio. Ottima posizione per visitare la città e i vari siti archeologici. Splendida terrazza con un panorama unico, davvero un’esperienza indimenticabile. Stanza molto confortevole, nella dependance, con balcone vista mare, stupenda! Pulita e dotata di ogni comfort. Colazione a buffet internazionale, personale alla reception gentilissimo e disponibile. Per me consigliatissimo! Ci ritornerei sicuramente.

Another great stay at the Lato, very clean and friendly place to stay. My wife and I had a lovely 10 days with a fantastic Sea View. Family owned hotel where nothing is a problem. Also big thanks to Janet, the breakfast ladies and cleaners. We will be back.

Unfortunately we, Barry and Anne Junior, only visited the Lato this year rather than stayed. The only direct package from NI to the Lato would be with Evri and did not fancy travelling in an extra legroom box. Found everything the same as usual i.e really good. The first time we visited the Lato we arrived near midnight. Being my usual helpful self I gave my wife plenty of room to unpack and found the bar being operated by Janis who later I called the vampire because he was only there at night. I learned to enjoy parrot juice which we drank over a bit of chat. I later realised that the amount of parrot juice was much larger than the norm. Parrot juice is so called because everyone knows that parrots can be trained to say "ouzo lucky boy." Also was reminded that Greece is a land of Mythos. Very smartly designed well kept hotel which is always spotless in equally well cared for grounds. The owners and staff make the hotel worth more than 5 star because, like the vast majority of Greeks I have met, they are so friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were always very good and Maya's cakes exceptional. No evening meals which is no problem because Ag Nik is packed with restaurants to suit every taste and many are very good. Had a lovely meal this year at almost next door KriKri. Next door the Galley is great if you want to watch sport and like UK food. (Of course remember that if you go to a posh taverna with a huge selection of almost instantly available food it will be microwaved and may have come from Granny's food factory in Thessaloniki..... posh tavernas have de pinged microwaves} Turn left and walk past Ormos Beach and in a couple of hundred more yards you will find Stavros taverna on the right and the delightful Maria Lovely Jubbly. Turn right, pass a small supermarket, and there are good tavenas past the mini roundabout just after Ammoudi beach, the nearest beach and very safe for swimming. Be warned that if you like obsequious bar managers/lunch treat providers you have chosen the wrong hotel. Jeanette aka Shirley Valentine puts a great vibe in to the bar. Her house used to have a pebble drive though these are now spread world wide with many still in rude health. Tortoise and ducks adorn the front of our house and a sea urchin is by me as I type. (beware of sea urchins if swimming off pebble beaches or where there are submerged rocks. I well remember a Jeanette unintended mystery Greek night. A fleet of taxis was ordered. We had assumed the driver knew our destination a taverna in a small village in the Lakonia valley. My wife and I had visited it several times and passed it even more en route to the Lasithi plateau but could not recall the name (I now know why, it has not got one) I told the driver the one with the big bouganvillea and finally I told him that Isabella worked there. That solved things. Apparently it is known as Stavrakakis'. The dining room turned out ot be the street where a lot of tables had bee
