Is the Caravel Hotel in Tsilivi any good?
Is the Caravel Hotel any good?
I have just returned from 2 weeks at the Caravel Hotel and I agree with Julie Bruce. However, the Caravel has 3 bars and all of them charge a different price (pool bar was cheapest!). We spent most of our time at the Kaliva pub which was in staggering distance for us so it was fab. Food at the hotel was good but we got a bit fed up of it after the 1st week and so went to the Kaliva most mornings, afternoons and evenings (if we could, we would have booked a room there!!).
Airport is horrible but thank god Tsilivi isn't far away. In general, holiday was good but I think I would prefer to stay further into Tsilivi as the Caravel is really in Planos.
Our room was opposite the hotel shop so it was fairly busy from early in the morning until late at night but we got used to it after a few days and not even the daily deliveries that zoomed up and down the road at the side of us woke us up.
We didn't get bitten once but there were a lot of people that did. With regards to excursions, we did the jeep safari, turtle spoting and went to Kefalonia for the day. I didn't really enjoy the jeep as I thought it was a waste of money (it cost more than going to Kefalonia for the day) as all they did was bounce you around for most of the day (hubby enjoyed it though).
This place is the best. Our holiday would have been really crap if it hadn't been for this place. Food is great and you get value for money. We were there for 2 weeks and so we saw the same live bands (same jokes etc) but it was still fab. If you become a regular, you get hooted at as you leave and they always remember you.
