We will be staying there from 23rd July for 2 weeks. Does anyone who has stayed recommend we take anything with us?
Also, our 2 daughters, aged 14 and 9 are asking if any others of a similar age will be there? If you are going then please e-mail martin@archies48.fsnet.co.uk.
Thanks and happy holidays!

A couple of questions with regard to the 90 euros for Air-con. Do they take credit cards and how was it controlled?
Still looking for company for my daughters, Sophie 14 and Sara 9. Anyone going to Alykanas beach Village July 23 -August 6th with kids similar age please contact me. martin@archies48.fsnet.co.uk
cheers

pETER, THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THE ADVICE. iT IDS MUCH APPRECIATED

the food was superb, the service by Greek standards was quick and nothing was too much trouble. Everything on the menu was available in childrens portions and the Lamb Kleftico was the best I ever had.

Can't comment on the food because after waiting for 90 minutes we walked out. We were told 3 times that it would not be long. It WAS very busy but this was a joke. So disappointing after reading good reviews on this site. Don't go there

Great food in a great restaurant. Friendly staff and good prices. Horse and cart ride is a bonus because it is a very long hot climb from the village...I know cos I did it one afternoon !!!
Brilliant place

Cant believe some of the negative comment here. By far the best Greek accommodation we have ever had. The rooms were cleaned properly, the hotel staff were extremely helpful and we were give excellent instuctions on how to find our room. The electric key system took about 10 seconds to bypass (remove the card from the key Homer!!) and the air con was good but, @ 90euros, very expensive. Perhaps the cost of this option could be published by tour operators.
The sunbed situation was not a problem for me cos I am an early riser but for those who like to lie in when on holiday I can understand the frustration. There were signs saying "do not reserve sunbeds" and warning of towels being removed but this only happened twice during our fortnight.
TV channels were limited in the rooms but then you don't go on holiday to watch TV do you?? The kids could watch Sky cartoons or Nickelodeon in reception and the staff would change channels for them if required. An ideal way for them to get out of the midday sun.
The pools were excellent but close very early (6pm) every evening for some obscure reason.
Tavernas in the village were, for the most part great and my teenage daughter recommends DNA bar to anyone who likes a drink in lively, friendly surroundings.
An excellent holiday overall and one which I would recommend to anyone except people who want to watch TV and eat curry! Enjoy and chill.

Used this place twice in the last 2 weeks. Good food, nice staff but it is on the main road so traffic, particularly young greeks on mopeds was a bit of a nuisance. Try to get a seat upstairs or near the back if downstairs

for C Gore.
Still can't flush paper etc down loo. Pools close at 6pm and the bloke who cleans it gets a bit stropy if you don't get out on time. But it adds to the fun when you pretend not to understand him!!!
Enjoy your holiday
