You will not be dissapointed with the Locanda. Small, friendly staff and located just far enough away from the main hub of the town to be away from the noise if you want some quiet. Good pool, right on the beach. Argassi's beaches are not the best but the Locanda has what is probably the best. (This isn't saying much though but it's enough.) Pool bar is open from around 9-5, main bar (also outside) 5 till when you finally crawl out of there. The two bar guys Andreas and Spiros are great guys and really make everyone feel at home very quickly. Say Hi to Andreas from Mike & Tracy (the Canadian redhead who badly sprained her ankle.) Also Pepi, the front desk manager, is a lovely women and always has a ready smile for everyone. Breakfasts are of the typical continental type from 8-10 though we only ate there on the two days that we were up early to go on excursions. The Germans seem to like it but most Brits seem to head out for something more substantial. Can't praise the hotel highgly enough. we loved it so much we're going back for 2 weeks next year. And look out for Staffy, the hotel dog normally found socialising around the pool area.

Bear in mind we didn't eat there as we like to try lots of different types of cuisine but it certainly seemed very popular indeed with those of the 'I'm not eating any of that foreign muck' brigade'for whom pie and cips and peas is the very peak of culinary adventure. It's a great place to have a beer and watch the Karaoke for an hour on a Friday evening but it's far better to sit next door at Corsers Chinese restaraunt next door and simply take in the sight of numerous Wayne and Waynetta's, red raw and covered in yoghurt after one day in the sun, ambling in with their little Robbie and Britney's for some good old anything and chips and chating their mantra of, 'They cover everything in olive oil, don't they?' Smoking between courses is de rigeur at the Green frog and for a large percetage of their clientelle, smoking between mouthfuls! :-) Still, it was 'very' popular so knows it's market and was always busy and is worth a visit simply for the tall blonde girl who works there who should be on a catwalk somewhere.

Great bar. We slaughtered everyone in the music quiz (Well, won by 2 points I think) and managed to drink our way through the prize 30 quid cocktail. Add to that the MC doing his superb James Brown impression it was a great night out marred only by one of the bar staff tapping me and shoulder and telling me, 'Sorry to interrupt you sir but I think your girlfriend is being sick over our fence.' The cocktail was slightly too much for her I fear. Will be back next year.
