Just a Little info for Kosmar Customers, I contacted my Travel Agent today and they have confirmed that they have cancelled their existing contract with Elpida, i would advise anyone who has booked here to contact their travel agent ASAP to try and arrange an alternative place to stay.

Hello Roz,

all the staff at Alikanas Beach are great, you can have a good laugh with them all, Greek night is good fun, and the hotel has made efforts, over the past years to reduce the noise from the bar which only really affected a few rooms. The beach is really close, a maximum of 40M away from any room, and you can walk out in the sea as it is quite shallow and you have a nice view of Kefalonia, If you ever fancy a good night away from the hotel you can walk into the bar just down the road.
I love this place so much i go every year now, and seem to have people asking me if they can come with me, hope you will enjoy it, as i'm sure you will,
 
hope this helps

Hello,

i have been with younger people before and they enjoyed it, see Sue on reception about the Greek night, there is normally other younger children around for the night time. For the day time the beach is probably the best place to be, as it does not get deep for quite a way out, and all the staff are great with all ages, and it is quieter than most places i've been before
 
hope you enjoy it, a i expect you to,
 
Sam

This hotel is only available through Kosmar (although other travel companies offer the hotel via Kosmar) i believe as they have funed some of the upgrades...this place is great for couple so long as you book after the summer hols. although the kids never both you,

Hi all,

for those of you not in the facebook group, you can now book through Manos (Thomas Cook Group) however it is a bit more expensive than before (probably the reason XL went bust). If you pop in to a Thomas Cook Agency and pick up the brochure "Greece for less" or go to http://www.thomascook.com/brands/manos?intcmp=manosredirect you can book for 09.
Hope you can all still enjoy this place, dispite the current financial climate.

Hi Michelle,

I'm guessing you mean the rooms for couples or as the brochure say 2-3 people, being the one you have stayed in before. I will speak to Nikos and try to get some foto's for you when i go out in September.

Hi Michelle,

I'm really sorry the two weeks i was there the hotel was fully booked, so Nick could not show me any of the rooms. I'm sure if you email the hotel direct requesting a photo they should be able to forward one to you.
 
Also I know First Choice have taken some publicity photo's for next year, so it maybe worth checking both FC and Thomas Cook brochures.
 
Sorry I was unable to help
