Captains Hotel

just spent a week at the hotel, which i have done on previous years due to the quality of the hotel and never having a bad thing to say about it and its staff!  But unfortunatly this year i have nothing good to say apart from the view from main reception.  we had six people and we had booked 2 rooms for 3 people. we were given the two rooms but one room with a double and a single and one with 4 beds cramed into the one, we went down to reception to try and sort it out but the person on the reception said he didnt understand english and to come back later.

we saw our rep who was a great help and she reported we had a problem it took two days for the to bring us another bed which they left in the hall by our room and expected us to take it in and remove the double bed. our rooms were also never cleaned apart from the first day we had to get our own clean towels and sheets! and the smell comming into the room from the kitchen which was right next to it stunk like swege ! cannot believe how down hill this place had gone since last time we visited

Well we stayed in the captains for 2 weeks. In these 2 weeks, our room got cleaned a grand total of 3 times. Clean towels twice. We also had stuff stolen from our room, even tho we locked the door. The staff here are some of the most ignorant and unhelpfull people we met on the island. When buses or trucks or cars drive up the hill, the balcony doors rattle that much it wakes you up. The air conditioning didnt work, complained 5 times and got nowhere. No kettle, again complained and nothing. We spent most of our time down at the hotel Contessa. Much better hotel, entertainment was fantastic here. Much better location. So thats where we are staying when we go back in september.

Hi guys

My Fiancee Gem already missing all the cats LOL

See u all next year

WE HAD A GOOD TIME HERE AT THE CAPTIANS

STAYED  AT  THE  CAPTAINS  HOTEL  AUGUST  2006  HAD  BRILL  TIME

TO  EVERYBODY

The pool here is a joke no tiles on the side all the steps around the pool are broken, not very clean. the rooms at the hotel are very basic bed, sink an fridge thats it shower is just a curtain so bathroom always gets flooded.Reception looks great nice view but thats were it ends ( and for a tip never eat at petes family restaraunt its foul they will grab you in when you go past dont eat there!!!!!)if you go to legends best breakfast nice meals too. zorbas and athena also nice to eat at.... but not petes belive me  you will have the sh*ts

Me and my mates have just come back from argassi last friday and the staff at the captains were very helpful, my mate somehow lost his passport on route to the hotel from the airport, the staff contacted our rep and the coach company and we had his passport back within two days!!! just like to thank the staff at the hotel we really enjoyed our stay.  the only problem with the hotel was that you have to leave your room the day before you leave so that they can prepare it for the next guests.   

me and my friend stayed at the captains, and we really liked it.  there is a massive hill to the main entrance, but we found a short-cut where you can go up some steps through the pool and past the commodor ... this was better we thought, coz it cut off the hill.

there wasnt a huge amount of things to do ... there were a few bars and that ... but only a few that we thought were decent, we ended up going to the same bar every night ... we're not really in to clubbing and whatever, and i think this resort suited that ... there were loads of couples around ... i think its an ideal resort for couples ... but brilliant hotel!! x

i remember Tina from last year she was very helpful, just got back from staying at the Captains for the 2nd time however Tina was not there.  Amy a girl from liverpool was very helpful with a particular problem we had with one of our mates who got a bit too drunk one night, just wanna say a big thankyou to her for her help!!

We went to Argassi for our first holiday last year and stayed at the Captain's.  We liked it, was a bit miffed at lack of AC but we lived.  We went self-catering and the apartment was basic but it was all we needed.  Tina was lovely but worked like a dog bless her (can someone let me know if she is still there??) and the girl who worked in the bar at night (lovely girl from Liverpool - name escapes me) was really friendly despite being homesick  I really want to go back but other half wants to Island hop.  It was lovely and I would recommend it to anyone but be prepared for pig-ignorant Brits thinking they can speak to the locals like s**t and then embarrass themselves by getting pissed and being loud and obnoxious in the many restauants.  The waiters etc were so polite to them but i'm guessing they had some a sort of bodily fluid in their all day english breakfast
