Arina Beach Resort Tour Part 3 - A Holiday In Crete - Greece

[@seanbarcas5804]

How was the food in the Asian restaurant John? We are going to Arina Beach on 17th July. Thanks to your videos we are looking forward to it even more. Cheers!

[@Life_of_John]

Food was top notch in the Asian restaurant. So good, we went back another night. Shhh... enjoy. Great place. Wish we'd managed to get out more and visit places but was with family and only there a week. Cheers.

[@Life_of_John]

Great video about the hotel Sir👍was looking at this resort for this Aug 2024 but the only thing what's worrying me is the fact it only has one large pool which as seen in your report it looks so hemmed in. Saying that we have been spoiled as last year was in the Creata Marris and it's hard as I am always playing this off against others.

[@Life_of_John]

This place is great. We didn't go in the big pool. Didn't need to. But when wandering about in the morning with the camera the big pool had lovely comfy beds empty. I think I have a few videos on this resort. The room we had virtually had its own private pool! It wasn't of course, but felt that way. I loved it here. You with kids or not? My small gripe was the food but that's me. And not a lot out and about. It's definitely worth putting on your shortlist. Thank you for watching.

@@Life_of_John Thanks for the reply John😊 helpful info.

[@Life_of_John]

Only too glad to help. My Grandson has lots of allergies so whenever we go on holiday with my daughter she does lots of research in advance. The holidays and hotels she chooses pretty much turn out to be very good. Our next trip is Ibiza as a family so maybe subscribe and you'll see that video very soon. Thank you and wherever you decide to go, enjoy and stay safe.

Just watched your videos John, we are going here in October for a week, really can’t wait now! 😃✈️☀️🍺🏝️

[@Life_of_John]

A lovely place. Good choice. 👍

[@bilbarba4632]

Beautiful ❤️🔥

Thank you! 😊

Great vid mate off there soon , just hope it won’t be too cramped in the kids holiday weeks !!! I was wondering what time do the pools open for a swim early morning

[@Life_of_John]

Hi. The pools had signs which I didn't really see til end of week. Something about no life guard etc. I was in most mornings at 8/9 am to freshen up. No one said a thing. Really nice place. Wasn't a fan of the food, but I'm an egg bacon beans type of bloke. I managed though. Hope you enjoy it. We'd go back so that tells you something. Cheers for watching. Please like and subscribe. Helps the channel. More holiday videos coming soon. Thanks.

Hi john, how was the noise of planes with location being so close to airport? Read so many positive reviews just concerned how noticable the airport might be as planning for honeymoon & 5 year old coming

[@Life_of_John]

The planes go over regularly but sound is not noticeable. And I actually loved seeing them turn and cruise around for landing. Lovely place.

[@thebelfman]

@@Life_of_John thanks for the response really appreciated. Last thing if u dont mind, planning to book mid October have u been the Crete or other greek islands during this time as I understand weather can be hit & miss with this hotel being about the facilities would hope to bank more so in my favour.

[@Life_of_John]

@@thebelfman No worries. Always seem to end up in majorca in October. Always good weather. Shorts t shirt pool weather. Bit cooler in the evening. Perfect. Hope you enjoy it.

[@markmason2451]

looks a great place , but as you said in one of your videos , 6weeks holiday it could be bedlum , is there a little strip or square outside the hotel where you could have a walk down on the odd night ? i go stir crazy after a week and like a mooch outside see what the local bars / restauraunts are like. Enjoy the rest of your hliday mate looks a great chilled out vibe . I'd love to see a 6 weeks school holiday review to see how they compare.

[@Life_of_John]

Yes, some nice places up the road and even further in a cab. I'm the same, I like a wander. Cheers. Visited a place in the video below. As far as I could walk lol! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn3Jk4NjlKeYbLc

Hi m8 hope your in joining holiday how much to build that bating pole with everything thanks

[@Life_of_John]

Hi mate. In the video think I listed all the stuff in the comments? I still prefer to the cheap telescopic ones. I'll be back on the bank soon so will do full video test. Give it a go. Make it as long or as short as you like. Cheers.

[@corrieroux-martyn9607]

Does the hotel provide water in bottles for free ?

[@Life_of_John]

Hi. We did get some but it wasn't consistent. But maybe cos we'd bought our own and the maids saw it. There is water at all bars and the restaurants as well. Hope that helps. Is so, please like and subscribe. It helps the channel. Thank you.

You are on the wrong island mate. When I went to Rhodos (Rhodes) the Greeks were very good at speaking English and they even understood my drunken Cornish accent.

[@Life_of_John]

The Greeks were ok speaking a little English, the Germans not so! Cheers. 90 percent were German. Made for a quiet drink at the bar lol
