The two guys running the bar were weird to say the least. When we walked in they looked at us as if we had invaded some sort of private sanctuary. Frozen cocktails were on the menu, but they wouldn't know one if it jumped up and bit them - two ice cubes does not a slush puppie make! If it had been any more lively we would have thought we were in a morgue!

We were put off going into this bar for most of our holiday because we didn't like being accosted by the mad kangaroo everytime we passed. But on our last night there was a band playing - three guys - who sounded absolutely fantastic, so we had to try it, and we were glad we did. The guy making the cocktails was great entertainment and they have the whole 'holiday thing' down to a fine art. Great for a good, very loud, night out.

We've just spent a week in the Amaryllis and it was very good, it's shown up a bit by the fantastic hotel next door, but you get what you pay for. It's very clean and well cared for and they work hard to keep it that way. The only down side is the incredibly miserable guy who works on reception. On waiting for our coach to arrive a bunch of us were watching Tim Henman at Queens and he just changed the channel mid match - we couldn't believe it - I don't think he's quite mastered customer service yet!

This was one of the best meals we had all holiday. It was very clean, the food was fantastic, the service friendly and efficient, the view excellent AND you could actually get some decent wine which didn't run the risk of setting alight if it got too close to the candle on the table! A little more expensive than most of the restaurants around, but definitely worth it.

We visited Zakanoh on our wedding anniversary as a special night out. It was obvious it was going to be more expensive than your average Kalamaki restaurant, but it was definitely worth it. The food was excellent and the setting just perfect for a romantic night. Yes, the service is relaxed and you'll probably spend most of the evening there, but I couldn't think of better surroundings in which to spend an evening on holiday.

We obviously picked a good day to go on this trip as we didn't experience any of the negative comments I have read - the boat was not over crowded at all (maybe because fairly early season), the sea was very calm and whilst the beach at the ship wreck was busy, it was certainly not too bad. The beautiful turquoise sea at Smugglers Cove was exactly as you see in all the pictures and I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes. A very long, very hot day, but worth a visit.

We ventured into this bar late afternoon on our second day and met Kate who was so friendly and welcoming we ended up spending most evenings propping up the bar. It's a very chilled out place and they try to make you feel special, not just another customer - but then "I'm So Vain" I would think that. Ben, who works behind the bar, makes the best cocktails on the island - my wife's hangover the next day can testify to that. Kate, Nicky and Ben - thanks so much for opening a much needed quality bar in Kalamaki.
