Arrived 24.703, having stayed in zante before at (Dora aprtments)but couldnt get in this year.
stayed in Commodore for half hour, dirty bloodstained wet towels, pillows so yellow with old sweat, plaster from wall on floor, cooking faciities were nil, just a dirty sandwichmaker and 2 ring camping stove. Allocated room 904 , have a look 15 feet from the terrace, you will see a rubbish tip!!. We booked a "Superior Delux", a studio for 4 people, well we could not walk past each other at the end of the beds, and only a 13 inch gap between the beds.
If you get chance,(if you have the guts to stay there), look at the pool, my advice, take some antibiotics!!!!!
just returned 7.8.03, excellent place, why is it only 8/10 is should be 10. Clean, big apartments, staff great, we bookd with thomas cook, paid £1700 to go to Commodore but stayed half hour,commodore was so disgusting,so had to find ourselves a room for 2 weeks within 30 mins of landing as T.Cook said couldn't do anything, so went here, could find no faults, its right on beach as well and also it does not have blaring music at the pool all day like most places, also got a kids club. Excellent holiday and have booked independently with hotal manager on day we left for next July (04). My Motto now is "never book with Thomas Cook", - see my comments on Commodore. This hol cost extra £1100 as had to find our own room but god it was worth it.
booked 13 months ago for 2 weeks in "Superior Delux" studio in Commodore Studios, paid £1700. Arrived 24.7.03, room 904, dirty, wet, bloodstained towels, yellow sweaty pillows, plaster from wall on floor, 15 feet from terrace was rubbish tip, cooking facilities rusty, old and very dirty, had sandwich maker that you didn't need to put your own food in as it had been left with the last guests remains!. Booked for 3 adults and 1 child, but couldnt all fit in as there was no room at the end of the beds for us to pass each other and only a 13 inch gap between each bed (very cosy). it stated it was for 4 but room so small they could only put 3 small chairs in, and then you couldnt move at all. Asked rep within 20 mins of arriving if we could be moved as for health and safety reasons it was not big enough and filthy etc, she came back 10 mins later and said no we couldn't move as this was what we had booked in the brochure (we didnt book with a brochure) and that this was a "Superior Delux" room!!, my dogs kennel was bigger. We asked if she could phone round and see iof there were any rooms available anywhere and we would pau, she came back, this time only 5 mins later and said she had been in touch with the resort manager and Thomas Cook had no rooms available on the island if Zante for the rest of the season, all we could do is fly home at a cost of £140 per person to be paid by us!. See you in Court thomas cook, luckily for us we had a camera and video, I strongly advice taking them if you go with thomas cook. Also on finding our own room independently at an extra cost of £1100 we found that Thom,as Cook had in fact already moved a family as they had double booked them. Funny that as we were told there were no spare rooms!.
Thomas Cook - "never book with Thomas Cook".
Ok so small beach but to all the skinflints that choose not to stay in a hotel right on the beach thats their loss. Few shinges but 6 feet into water its clear and very sandy and shallow, ideal for kids.
Next time book a hotel on the Beach like the Porto Iliessa, its more money but well worh it.
All excellent, it may be small but plenty of larger beache if thats what you want very near by.
