I'll start with an overview - Then i'll go into more detail, so if you wanna grab a tea or coffee, nows your chance !
Fantastic location - Hotel is on the edge of the beach, 5min walk to the town
Food - Good quality and a good selection
Drink - All local brands, and they did the job !!
Rooms - Various views avaliable from sea to pool or both and were of a good standard
Service - Helpfull and polite, Special mention to Andy behind the bar, the guys a legend lol
Checked in monday 3rd october 2011 at lunchtime. Check-in was very quick and we were given room 217 2nd floor overlooking the restaraunt with a side view of the pool and of the sea.
The room was what we expected, twin beds - not double, but we didnt find them very comfortable.
Fridge, tv and hairdryer. Aircon (free depending on who you booked with) if not 5euros a day. Didnt have any english channels, although people we met had bbc1 and sky news on theirs.
The food was very good quality and a good selection
Breakfast 08:00 - 10:00
All the usual, full english - bacon mushrooms beans fried & scrambled eggs grilled tomatoes and omelette. The sausages were only mini hotdogs. Toast, cereals fruit and juices tea & coffee were avaliable, and if u wanted them - Chips!
Lunch 12:30 - 14:30
Dinner 19:00 - 21:00
Selection of meals were similar for both the above meal times.
3 - 4 meat dishes, fish, pasta, rice chips (although they were more like wedges) salads loads of feta cheese and tzatziki. Over the ten days we stayed, Chicken, turkey, pork, lamb, beef were on the menu. Meals included Beef Stifado, turkey and orange, chicken and pork souvlaki lamb steaks in various sauces.
In the 10 days there were only a couple of repeated meals.
The only complaint I had, I thought the chicken was often served a little bit dry - prob a bit overcooked.
Fizzy drinks, red and white wine and local beer was self service at these meal times
Snacks were avaliable from when the bar opened at 11am
These wernt very exciting, only cheese and ham toasties, a small selection of cakes, and some small cheese/ham or tuna rolls.
ice cream was also on offer, and a self service tea and coffee machine was there 24 - 7
All drinks served at the bar were local drinks, all the basics were there - gin vodka brandy rum peach shnapps martini irish cream and of course Ouzo. The local cola was a bit of an aquired taste, but was fine mixed with spirits. some of the spirits did taste a little watered down, but i think they were cheap local brands prob only 30% volume.
up until the evening the drinks were served in plastic cups, but normal glasses in the evening.
cant remember what the lager was called, it wasnt the local favourite Mythos - But it tasted ok, and i was told it was 4.7% volume.
Andy was the main barman, and he was a great laugh - always chatting with people and making you feel welcome.
Evening entertainment
The team of 3, Atilla, Lukas and Louise were a great laugh. Louise's season came to an end 5 days before I left, leaving Atilla & Lukas, and OMG these to guys are mad !!
The entertainment was a bit cheesy at times but very funny. They also organized activities during the afternoon.
The hotel grounds
2 pools one huge (with a small slide) and the other a smaller one, 5 a side football pitch, small basketball court, childrens play area and a games room with pool tables. There were plenty of sun loungers around both pools.
The beach
A 5 second walk from the bar !!
Not the best beach i've been to, a few stones, but you can walk about 100 yards into the sea and the water will only be up to your knees - great for young children. Sun loungers were for hire, a pair and a table and parasol for 6 euros a day.
Tsilivi town
No more than a 5min walk from the hotel, loads of bars restaurants and shops. would recomend a visit to gorgios - had a great meal there.
Last few bits n bobs
The traders that come round the bar pool and beach selling copied albums films and cheap jewellery are a pain in the bum
There is no kettle in the room, so if u like a tea or coffee 1st thing in the morning, take a travel kettle
We stayed at the end of the season, so the maids must have been bored - (the hotel was never more than half full) our rooms were cleaned every day
If you have a late flight like we did, ask for late checkout, it was 20 euros.
You have to but your room key into a small meter in the room to work the electric, so you cant go out during the day or evening and leave your mobile or ipod on charge.
Last message........
Overall a great holiday, weather did let us down on several days but this was to be expected in october. Never had to queue for food or drink, this might be a different story in high season.
Hope this review helps, and I will be more than happy to answer any questions you have, just message me !!!!
Ok, signing off now my fingers need a rest - time for a beer lol
Room Tip: Dont go for a ground floor room - no privacy and no view
