Totally agree with Alex

Absolute crap!!

€2.90 for a coke!!

Dried up rice, dried up noodles - absolute tosh!!

Arrived back yesterday after 2 weeks at the Oscar.

All the staff are very friendly, (Costas, Nikos, Denise & Dimitri)

They had a young swedish girl called Caroline who was doing the entertainments for the kids during the day and adults of a night but she left under a bit of a cloud on our last day so not sure what is happening now.

A personal opinion here now - the breakfast (for B&B) is absolute tosh!!! All you get is bread and jam, fruit, yoghurt and some awful cereals. You can't even get toast (you have to pay)!!!

The hotel is set in rather a very quiet location some 40 minute walk away from the beginning of the main strip - you then have another 10 minute or so walk to the beach (depending on how long you spend browsing in shops!!)

The hotel does run a curtesy bus but on at 10:00, 10:30, 13:00 and 14:30 they could have done a roaring trade if they offered a taxi service of a night but I suppose that is their way of keeping you at the hotel.

Dimitri the bar man is great fun (he does a mean Chocolate Dream cocktail!!)

The rooms are very, very clean - they are cleaned 6 days a week and the maids are very efficient.

The pool is great - goes up to 2.6 metres deep and the shelf is very dramatic!! The kids loved it. Plenty of sunbeds - you could still get one at lunchtime - but then again it was very quiet when we were there.

Apparently Direct Holidays are having trouble selling all the rooms so the hotel are looking at other companies to fill spaces - we had one week of around 10 rooms taken up by some Swedish guests.

There are some really nice tavernas nearby - the Palataki on the corner by the Oscar does a mean kleftiko!! There is Jimmy's just down the road and I heard some good reports about the Pie Shack (opposite water park) and also the Paradise.

There is also a cheap takeaway opposite Jimmys if you want a cheap snack as the pool snack bar can get a bit pricy eating there everyday (and it closes at 7pm!)

Beer at the hotel is €2.30 for an Amstel and €3.40 for a long drink although they do have an happy "hour" from 18:30-20:00.

All in all it was a great holiday - all the guests got on really well and the weather was good (after the initial first 4 days)!!

Will put on some pictures when developed

Fantastic beach (bit a of climb back up the hill though!!!!)

The beach is closed from 7pm to 7am due to the turtles - we were told it was one of the best beaches to see them (but never saw one - saw more at Kalamaki)

Hire a motorboat and take yourself out to see the turtles - fantastic!

Make sure you only idle about once you go out because they won't come up to you if you are speeding along (and be prepared they are bloody huge!!!!!)

I am trying to upload some pictures but this site won't let me!!
