Hi Kim!

hi dx

well we have been back two days and missing planet already. the weather wasen't brilliant the first few days was very stormy and torential rain .more rain than  have in the normal winter. but who cares it was just great to see every one again. and yes ricky did get his gel and we took some more with us too. and guess what! ricky turned up at planet what a surprise that was he had come back for some stuff to take back to athens.charlie has made more friends than ever both of us was sobbing when we had to leave.

Hi Kim - hope you're having a good holiday and the weather's being good to you - it's blooming freezing here!

hi dx had ricky left whilst you were there, as i had sent him some hair gel but still can't find out if he recieved it my daughter had spoken to the dj panos last night on msn and he said that he didn't know if he got it and also said that ricky has left now. the only ones that are there are babis pedros sharon and nick,no mention of shelly but she may have gone home to see her parents.as i do now that both nick and shelly have moved out there for good.

Hi I went from 9 Sept - 16 Sept and it was not manic at all - had time to chat to the staff - mind you the bar was still open at 4 in the morning - quite a few locals but they were more of a laugh than the holidaymakers!  By about two in the morning it quietened down and the die hards (ie me and my mate) and a few others continued on!  It was a great time to go, I can imagine it being packed in July/August - and the weather was great!  I'll probably go out for a week again next Sept (without Alex! he's having his one in June!)

hi dx

well good on youhope you have a good time, not long for us to go now only ten days and counting. the weather on this site states chance of rain hope that clears by the time we go two years ago we went in october and the weather was fab lovely and warm, just cool at night. my daughter hopes that we can go back next summer, what month this year did you go? we was there from july 23rd to august 6th.it was very busy don't have much time to talk to the staff as they are always rushing around. it is a lot quiter in october so have a good natter to all of them.

Hey Kim!  Well I've bitten the bullet and booked!  10 nights from 13 June - just me and Alex - hopefully staying at the Lazaros! Now only 8 months to wait!!!

hi dx yes it is the place you keep wanting to go back to, can't wait till 18th oct i may not get back on that plane this is me and my daughter charlie with ricky and josh who was working there last may.

hi dx

Stayed at the Planet for a week and had a brill time.  The apartment was very clean, as was the pool, bar, etc.  The staff were so helpful and friendly and really couldn't fault anything.  Will definitely return and would recommend.  Great if you're a football fan as they have about 6 screens around the bar showing various matches - also good disco which goes on quite late - but double glazed balcony doors and shutters mute the noise (although it didn't bother us as we were in the bar 'till it closed anyway!)

A very big thank you to all the staff at Planet Studios. For anybody wanting to have  a relaxed but fun holiday, this is the place for you. It's quiet through the day and lively at night. The lager is cold, the cocktails delicious and the music loud. You will also have the best of European football and coverage of most high profile sporting events : - cricket, rugby, golf....if it's on satellite...make your request.

Had a great week at Planet in June 07.....can't find any faults in the place, and a great location. 10 minutes walk to the beach, loads of places to eat....try Manos grill Don't be worried about the noise from the bar as the shutters will keep that out. Lovely spacious apartment........Had such a great time going back this September.......All staff very helpful and great fun

Thinking of booking a holiday at the Planet Studios - however have two children aged 10 and 4 - would these apartments be recommened with children of this age.   Have been to Tsilivi before so have a good idea were the apartments are (ideally need to be close to the centre and the beach for the kids) any comments or recommendations would be greatly appreciated before arranging holiday.

just booked for our third time at planet. again we can not fault this place, that why some many people keep going back, the bar staff are second to none. English couple shelly and Nick look after us for the two weeks we were out there in june of this year and hopefully they will be back again......

The apartments are spotless and cleaned pretty much every day and clean towels every other day. The music is not that bad again there are sound proof shutters to block this out.

  Many thanks to Spiros and mrs Spiros, Babbis, Petros and Sharon for making us feel so welcome the rooms were excellent always clean many thanks to the ladys nothing was to much trouble we really enjoyed ourselves and felt so relaxed . The food from the snack bar was really lovely and always enjoyable we are coming back next year take care thanks again best wishes Mick &Diane Kelly

We stayed here 27/8/06 -10/9/06.

we stayed here in may this year.we had a fab time staff are brilliant. just as they were the year before, this was our third time and we plan to go bk next year for certain.the appartments are spotless cleaned every dayby the maids who are very friendly. the swimming pool is great, plenty of sun beds and you dont need to put towels out you can get one at midday.cant fault this placewe love it the bar staff are great babbis josh pedros ricky sharon and the lovely couple shlley and nick.we were so sad that we missed you last october. hope to see you next year.bye for now xxxx.

We stayed at Planet for two weeks and the staff were brilliant they did everything they could to make us feel welcome and ensure we had a good time. The rooms were very clean and there was lots of space. The music from the bar wasn't too bad once the sound proof shutters and bathroom door was shut. The only problem we had was that the electricity went off on two occasions and we had no hot water one evening, however the staff did there best to help and assured us that it would be sorted as quick as possible. It was a great holiday and would definatley go back.

well we gust came back from a lovely holiday there was 7 of us inclowding a 3 year old baby we had so much fun there was no problems with anyone there. If you now us hello!! from maxine and dave and deano and ashley and gemma and david and littal romy see ya all agen in june 2007 love ya all

Have just returned from 2 weeks at Planet, and could not find any faults with the place. The apartment was large, very clean and well equipped, with a corner bath and hot water always available. as for the noise, once you've shut your shutters, closed the double glazed balcony doors and turned on your air-con, you can't hear anything, even without this, it isn't too loud, our 3 year old never got woken by it once. The staff were brilliant and did everything they could to make sure that you enjoy your holiday. We will definately return next year, its a great place for a family holiday

just back from a great 2 weeks at the planet. staff babis petros rick mick kayley and all fantastic, apartment very spacious, spotless and well equipped.highly recommended will certainly be back  

i stayed in the palnet studios last with my partner and friends and we had a wicked holiday. the apartments are clean and spacious the staff look after you and are always making sure you are haviong a good time. it was such a good holiday that we areu going back there in june. the noise it not that bad as some people make it out to be as the have the sound proof shutters on the outside ( i think some people may have forgotten to shut them at times!!!!!!) as we no problems with the music.

the planet stuidos are value for mobey and Spiros and the rest of the guys at planet will look after you

CONTINUED FROM PREV MESSAGE!

We have visited TSILIVI 4 times. the last 2 times we have been in TSILIVI we have stayed at the PLANET STUDIOS, these studios are fantastic, whether they are for families, couples young and old or for singles. The studios are family run and you could not ask for a nicer family to run the complex.

 view from our balcony

LOVED IT!  the apartments, people,view etc were all to brilliant. had a pool view from our balcony which was lovely. Planos also has a kids club which my 6 and 4 year old girls really enjoyed. the staff are nice and really helpful.

Planos is really clean and well looked after. ideal place to stay for couples and families.24 hour bar (which is always a bonus), plenty of entertainment on a night time . caters for both adults and children.

Loads of places to eat out around planos and tsilivi. personal favorite is kaliva pub for a greek breakfast.more bars etc the further you go into tsilivi.

Cannot fault this place at all, was a joy to stay at. will definatley come back again.

hi to everyone that stayed between 18- 25th october.

The staff were friendly, but overly keen to fleece you of your money in the evenings when it came to buying drinks - constantly hounding you for re-orders!  Despite having double glazing, the loud,  thudding music could still be heard clearly in your room and at times, appeared to be unneccesarily loud.  Most nights we were kept awake till 4am by it!!  These apartments would ideally suit, single people aged 18-25.  Not really suitable for couples or those with children, due to the noise levels.  Although "cleaned" daily, by the miserable looking maids, they only skimmed the surface, only cleaning as necessary. That said, the apartments were nice and spacious and modern. Always plenty of sunbeds and clean pool. But will not be returning!  Sorry guys.

here are more pics x

Me and 7 others were here in June and thought it was great!!

p.s. Sorry about the mess and the noise

just returned from the planet apartments had excellent time we took 4 kids 15- 12- 9-5 they also loved it even the late nights, they loved to play pool every night till 2-3 am nobody minded so we were happy . ok music was loud at times but your on holiday and when the bar staff goes out of there way to get the wine you like its brilliant, the staff were excellent and really enjoyed going to the red lion were conti and alan worked they were also great......... had great nights with them.recomend the red lion for kids play time if you have small ones..fantastic time go again excellent fo families who want to be able to have a good drink on there hols and for couples exspecially for single young ladies as they get very looked after ...lol   lol   lol

we liked it here the planet now have appts to , .which is what we stayed in the were very clean plenty of room. recomend these to all that stay in tsilivi.

thank u rick shelly and ricky had a great time

Add yo

OK, so the music from the bar at night was loud, but by shutting the double glazed doors the volume was one at which after a few minutes in bed you became accustomed to and could easily fall asleep with.  And really, a bit of noise is a small price to pay for the many, many positive aspects to these apartments.

No good if you have a family or want some peace. All the other bars/clubs in Tsilivi have big double glazed doors that are closed at midnight to 12.30 am. These really keep the sound in the club. Not Planet. They leave there doors open & will not close them even if asked (I did). The music can be heard from Popeyes, about 200 metres away. The apartments are 10 metres away. Until 4 am. Though the rep did offer us another room, but you still would not have been able to sit out on your balcony.

Oh and does anyone have any way that I can contact the planet bar? Or does anyone have rickys mobile number that I could have please? I need to contact them asap! Thanks, hope to hear from someone soon! Hi ricky if you see this xxx Love ya xxx Nat xxx

Hey everyone! I have just come back from an amazing holiday in Tsilivi, this year was my first time out there, and I have never had such an amazing time! On the first night we found Planet Bar, and we didn't move from there for 2 weeks, Babis is such a great person, and always looking after you. He was disappointed that we we're staying the planet studios, but we promised to stay there next year. To anyone that is going to Tsilivi, I recommend to go into Planet Bar, its a place where the fun never ends! All the staff are so nice to you, and make you feel so welcome. I can't wait to go back next year and continue the great time that  I had this year! Wish I was still there Thanks to Babis, Pedros, Ricky, Nick, Shelly and Nick! You're all the best, never change and you all better be there next year!! xxxx Nat xxxx

hi everyone!! my boyfriend and myself are off 2 tsilivi on 16th august 05!! we look forward to staying in planet apartments...any info about them or piccies will be greatly appreciated!! it'll be the 3rd time ive been back to tsilivi so i know the place really well...look forward to seeing those stayin in planet apartments the same time as us!! i hope the weather is as hot n sunny as it has been prievious years when ive been end of july begining of august!! c u soon planet!! xxxxx

Planet apartments as they are known now are absoulutely Fantastic.We arrived expecting your basic greek accommodation..but no..these rooms are lovely, clean , spacious, have air conditioning, hot water from the shower constantly, double glazing..which blocks out the music from the bar at night..which isnt a huge problem because they close the doors and turn the music down a a certain time..and this is the best bar in the area.They have a big pool and snack bar .5 min walk to the beach.2mins to nearest shops and restaurants.We would recommend these apartments to anybody thinking of going to Tsilivi.The family who own them are great, very friendly.we spoke to families who had been going back for years on the run and WE WILL BE GOING BACK!!EXCELLENT PLACE TO STAY

Spiros and the family continue to improve the facilities, most apartments this year have Air con and double glazing to cut down the noise from the bar...

A brilliant place to come and relax, have been doing for many years...just like home away from home. Great for families, teenagers and couples....

5 gold stars and two thumbs up!!

Brilliant, want more can I say. The staff were exceptional, and the studios had everything that you needed.
Going back next year if not before.

we are going to the margaris studios in july 2004 could anybody send me a picture of the studios? when we booked the holiday with first choice they had the wrong picture so we wont know until we get there what they are like,would be very greatful if anybody can help me out,thanks tracey mills.

Stayed here for a week in September. Location is good, plenty of room around the pool and apartments are basic but adequate.

Main problem for me was the noise from the bar. Maybe I am just boring but I like to relax on holiday, and that doesn't mean listening to the same songs being blasted out every night until the early hours. They have doors around the bar to sound proof it but everyone leaves them open.

If you want to enjoy the music, then ok, leave the doors shut and consider some of us who like to go to bed at a reasonable time to sleep!!!

This is our second year at the Margaris, and we wouldn't stay anywhere else! Family run by Spiros and his sons, the atmosphere is great, the place is very well kept (the maids seem to get confused between which days to clean) all in all, a great place to stay. Can be noisy up until 2am, but we just stayed in the bar!

Great place to stay.Fantastic for famileys.I believe there are a few rooms available direct with the owners ,worth a phone call otherwise you have to book through first choice holidays.I have been going for 10 years ,thanks to Babis,Pedros,&Voula for some great holidays..

how do you book these apartments?? i need to know asap if possible thanks

What are the planet apartments like? They are next to the planet pub. Are the Margaris Studio's part of the same complex. Is it noisey after midnight? Please can someone give any opinions. Thanx.

Good studios which are kept wonderfuly clean,and such a lovely family who have over the 10 years we have been visiting tsilivi always made us feel at home and very,very welcome wether or not we have been staying in their studos or any others.I would highly recomend this accomodation to anyone.

Great place for a holiday.Great pool, bar & snack bar, rooms very clean.Very kid friendly and generaly run by Babis,Pedros and Voula who also run and own the Planet Bar next to the studios.Been going for last 10yrs , cant wait to go again in2003.

We have just got from Zante yesterday and after staying at the Margaris Studios already want to go back! Everyone was very helpful and friendly. We loved the english breakfasts at the snack bar, and the entertainment at the Planet Bar was great! Can't wait to go back!

very clean spacious, balcony overlooked private grounds. very close to planet pub which is owned by the same people. probably the most popular bar in zante.

Just a quick note to say thanks to Spiros,Babis,Pedros and Voula for another great holiday.How they manage to keep their standards so high year after year is amazing.Hope to see you all again soon,thanks from Andy,Juliet and Lauren( Voula, Lauren hasn't forgotten you.). By the way the new villa/house is great for a family to stay in.

We are going to Zante 17 July 2002 for two weeks and would like to stay in Tsilivi - can anyone provide contact details for the Margaris Appts and are they ok for young children?

Hi Babis and everyone at the Margaris! Im coming back this this year! It will be my 4th year in Tsilvi! Cant wait to be back again! Im sure you wouldnt have forgotton us! My nan, grandad, (Anne & Frank) and the rest of the Webber family send their love! To anyone going to Tsilvi you must go to the Planet Pub! Its the best place in town! & if your staying in the Margaris they are lovely apartments! See you all soon! (30/07/2002!) Love all the Webber family!

We stayed here in the bungalows in 99 and had a great time .Spiros and his sons (Babis & ?) were very helpful and friendly .The pool is nice and clean and the Planet Bar at night is one of the best in the resort worth a visit just to see Babis do his thing.They have added a two storey house to the apartments, ideal for a family but you have to book early to get that.I'm going back with my family on the 24th August and staying in the house,i can't get there soon enough,i'll let you know what it was like.

stayed in the bunglows had a lovely holiday apts family owned,plus very good english breakfast.make you feel very welcome.
