booked with direct holiday to travel in july 2002. was informed by a sup**visor (in person) that no building work was taking place and that the complex was finished. she stated that an alert appears on their screen if building work is taking place. there was no alert on her screen so i went ahead and booked the holiday, then i read these comments. any suggestions?

Just opened the site and am delighted to hear that everthing seems to be up and running at the Beach Village. Thank you so much for the info Irene, you've just made my day! Thanks a million !!

Arrived home yesterday...Beach Village was excellent. In reply to your question June Bird ....I couldn't get travellers cheques cashed at the reception but the supermarket beside the Letsos Hotel cashed them day or night. Also the hotel has no credit card facilities available at present but they said they are waiting for the machine to arrive. As for the supermarket on site....the shelves were going in on Sat and the cleaners were also in so I would say it will be up and running in week or so. The supermarket beside the Letsos Hotel is only about 5 mins walk away anyway.

Sunbeds on beach cost 3.50 Euro each for the whole day. Air conditioning cost 45 Euro for the week. Safety deposit boxes cost 35 Euro. If you need to keep your room on due to flight times etc (check-out time is 11am) this will cost you 50 Euro. Just a little word of warning......take some HIGH factor sun tan lotion with you ...it reached 51 degress last week and there was no breeze...so don't say I didn't warn you all !! You really will need the air conditioning so take that little extra cash with you, it's worth it!!
