Just got back from a stay at the pallas (Sun 6th July - 13th July). 1st time. hotel was great.
very friendly with a good atmosphere. Hope everybody that was there at the same time enjoyed it aswell.
To the 3 girls who came to the hotel about the 10th / 11th; Jenny and the savages! Hope you had a really great time(keeping those sunbeds warm!) and that the rest of youre holiday was as good as the start.
Lisa, you looked at the pictures?
hey ste b.
i just got back from the pallas a couple of weeks ago. the fridge and aircon were about e25 and e30, well worth it. theres also a safety deposit box you can hire for the week, e10 and access is 24/7, so worth it aswell.
gonna add a map to the pictures for ya, dont know how well it'll come out!
laganas is only small so no chance of gettin lost. the hotel is situated down a side street which is only a couple of hundred metres long and is partially lit(street lamps quite spaced apart), however there is a police station half way down the road and we found that we would frequently bump into other guests from our hotel or a close by hotel who would walk up the same road.
once you hit the main strip you are at the opposite end to the beach which is about 10mins walk, this 10min walk is one long bar crawl, with lots of restaraunts and shops, and is pretty much all of laganas, so its busy at any hour. you'll probably find you appreciate the side street walk as it means the hotel pallas is not on the main strip, which would be chaos. plus most of the people we met said there appartments were s**te, wheras the pallas is a descent hotel.
we only went on one excursion while we were out there and that was the round island cruise. we didnt enjoy it, you might. its an all day cruise, and unless you dont mind swimmin in the ocean you wont be off the boat all day (which by the way is crowded). me and my mates did enjoy jumpin off the boat into the sea, however we werent able to get to the shipwrecked beach, which was the main reason we went, as it was to windy - on that side of the island, never felt any breeze anywhere else so my guess is your chances arent good of gettin onto the beach(unless anyone else knows differnet?). we only went for one week, so to us it was a wasted day, if your goin for two though it might be a differnet story.
you cant do any watersports (except peddle boats) on laganas beach cause of the turtles, so if you want to do this youll have to travel(taxi e20 one way) to banana beach.
last thing is its quite expensive, i took £400 for the week and spent every penny, did go out drinkin alot, but still make sure you take plenty.
all that said, we had a wicked time. hope you do to!
anything else just ask.
