Arrived back from Alikanas 14th May. The Alykanas Beach Village was nearing completion. It looked as if the studio's would be ready, and the pool too, but not the garden areas. It is positioned as the brochure describes, 'on the beach.' It's very big. I couldn't guess how many studios the complex boasts. The beach is safe and sandy, there is litter around, i'd just pick it up and put it in a bag if it's an eyesore. The sea is wonderful. It's the best family beach i've ever visited. Do try the Neraida Restraunt. The staff are warm and friendly and funny, and very generous! The food is superb and there's such a good choice. They don't charge restraunt prices. Children are fussed over and welcomed, not tolerated. The bar next door is owned by a cousin, and that's good too for snacks at luch time perhaps. We heard that mozzies were a problem, but didn't find it so in May. There were barking dogs, and noisy motorbikes, but the whole atmosphere is so relaxed and friendly, that it really didn't seem a problem. Nothing did. We did see a couple of rats outside the Greedy Greek in town! Apparently there aren't enough cats to keep them down! Even that didn't freak us. (Surprisingly.) This was THE most relaxing holiday we have ever had. Greece at it's very very best. Such a beautiful Island too. Enjoy!

Does anyone know if Phil Wright got his web site up and running?

The comments on Amoundi by everyone have me eagerly thinking about a holiday in the resort with my family this year.

I only came across the resort by accident with a link from Alikes, and i'm very pleased about it! :-)

I'm a bit nervous about travelling independantly, but as i've only heard positive comments about booking flights and accomodation direct, I think i'll go ahead.

Thanks for your input.
