Arkadianos Hotel - (Accommodation in Agios Sostis)

Jan S  (05 July 2003)         

Got back from 2 weeks in blistering heat (40 degrees +), due to get hotter. Stayed in 2 bed apartment for 5, beware these are not 2 bedroomed but 2 roomed. First room has cooking area, wardrobe & double bed, 2nd room has 2 singles and sofa bed, no wardrobe. Apparently all rooms are similar set up. Saying that ok for me, husband and 2 kids. Cleaners in every day for bins and linen/towels chaged every 3 days. Staff friendly and helpful. Fan is a must 3euro pday. Do not expect to be able to "self cater" as 2 elec rings, fridge and sink, basic cutelry and crockery, ok for beans etc. If on night flight home have to be out of room by 10am, or pay extra either 30euro to 7pm or 50 euro till depart! Then no guarentee of room availablity. Pool excellent and cleaned daily. No real playground as advertised in JMC. Reps good. Would recommend as long as you know set up.

Agios Sostis Resort - (Resorts in Zante)

Jan S           

Just on outskirts of Laganas, 7 euros in taxi away or 30min walk, if you dare in the 40+ degree heat. Fairly small place, mostly apartments and tavernas, only supermarkets and one real gift shop, but day to day needs ok, chemist and bank though you need to goto Laganas. Suited me being away from loud nightlife but not if your an owl looking for partying. Tavernas did stay open to early hours though but more low key.
