Came back 8th June 2001. A good family run hotel. Staff friendly and always willing to help. Requests dealt with promptly. Very clean, but very basic cooking facilities. However lots of good value restaurants nearby. Hotel has a good snack bar and well stocked onsite 24hr minimarket. Close to end of runway but no real problems due to restricted night flights. JMC rep pleasant and helpful (more mature than most reps). Good sized pool compared to others we saw. Would recommend it for young families as Kalimaki is quieter than Laganas.
Yes Mermaids was good it had a very extensive menu and staff were friendly and efficient, however if you like to be packed in like sardines and served by brits and aussies then you'll love it , personally I went to Greece to sample Greek food served by Greeks and there were enough traditional tavernas to keep me happy so we only had to visit here a couple of times. However I could recommend their breakfasts!
Greek food served by very friendly and efficient Greek waiters, not as quick as Mermaids but we like to take our time over our meals which is the way the Greeks eat. Portions were just right (not too big as some may find in Mermaids!).Greek waiters were really good with the kids especially Yannis, which one as there are four of them, well you can't miss him he's the one who's always smiling the others are friendly too. When your meal's finished you can take whatever drinks left to the bar next door (same management). English style bar but run by Greeks with big screen tv for those who can't go two weeks without it! Kids also welcome and entertainment provided by way of playstation. Say Cheers to Spiros behind the bar!
