Gemma A, you must have been there whilst we were there
(1/8/03-15/8/03 Luton). My sons Jake & Luke were always
around the pool and joined in the fun hosted by the reps and
Barrie and the gang (water basketball etc). Telephone number
Exotica ++30 26950 27740. The hard working young guys name
was Alex. Like you mention the whole resort was great. Thanks
to all at the Exotica for a great holiday.

Turtle spotting a bit of a con, if your lucky you may see one turtle
from a distance in Aug. Smaller boats make it like a cattle
market. Thomsons Turtle Island cruise was good though as it
involved, visiting beaches, caves and lots of info. More
considerate than the smaller money grabbing boats. Also
Thomsons evening tour approx 4.30-9.30 very good, lots of info &
visits, inc a stop to eat at Zakynthos town (sorry cant remember
exact name of trip). Other comments suggest Water park a
waste as many rides are restricted. Make sure you take a Mossi
machine that you plug in and a bite stick. (lots of bitten people in
Aug). Dont take many daytime clothes, we took 'T' Shirts & shorts
for every day, once youve had breakfast people wander about in
swimwear. Airport 5-8mins, the planes are no problem only
about 6 per day, noise is nothing, quite good to watch them fly
over the beach. Beach great very close, 5-10mins easy walk.
Lilos etc very cheap right next door to Hotel approx £6 for a good
one. Loads of great restaurants, approx £30 for a meal for a
family of four (starters, main, water, 0.5ltr of wine, soft drinks and
a beer) Hotel Exotica great, loads of people return, so much so,
we are returning on 6/8/04. Have a good one, need any more info
feel free.

Mark, great place, very friendly, good eating, lots to choose from,
went last August, going again this August. From what I believe
family rooms only approx 4no: overlooking small road to beach
which is front of hotel, not a great view except for mountains. We
had a twin 4 ground floor for myself, wife, 12 & 8yr old boys.
Bunkbeds for boys, smallish room but great location, within the
inner sq of the hotel, looking onto grassed area, pool, pool bar
etc. This type of room is more than adequate for 3 and much
better position. Hope this helps. Steve C

Hi Jan.
Look on site at Escape, Mikaelos (the best) locals use also, ask
at hotel they will direct, Paolo's, Zepo's (great view at about
7.30pm). Road's a bit mad & narrow in place's, no kerbs,
crumbled edges. If you like to be smart, then dress up,
restaurant's are classy enough, decent casual wear is also ok.
We fly back late on the 16th, might catch you at hotel.

Good Luck & enjoy.

Well done Greece, hope the party is still rocking when we arrive
in August, get your pitch ready, clean your boots, sort your team,
game on. See you soon Barry, hope alls well, ive heard youve got
to ride the Donkey from the Airport this year, HA, HA

Hi Barrie and gang, not long now, what time does your flight get in on
Friday?, ours is about 11.40am, ill get you a beer if im there before
you. Seems like rooms have air con and fridges now for a fee. Hope we
dont have that storm like last year and another earthquake, mind you
need something to make the earth move after all that METHOS.

See you soon, Steve, Maura, Jake &

Oh well Barry, Les, Cyn, Debs, kids etc etc, were back now while
you are still at bar, thanks for last drink. A bit quiter this year, Joff
is ok but relies on a few guests to sort out some activities (me or
Barry) like football, water rounders, polo etc. Great staff at Hotel
although seemed a bit more tense this year, not many free
shots. Shame Costas was not around more in the evenings.
Hope to be back next year but maybe a different hotel, once the
kids grow out of kids club, another hotel may suit better. Keep in
touch all, Steve, Maura, Jake & Luke

Sarah.

Below tells you about all to know, Island great, Hotel very good
been twice came back 16th Aug, resort very quite this year,
maybe due to Olympics. Beech turn right out of reception, follow
road out of reception and keep left past fruit stall. Turn right at
main road for most restaurants although Paulos is left. End of
main road turn right at Taxis for another small strip and Cave Bar
worth seeing. Best restuarants in my order are Michaelos (cab
from reception) Dias (across main road) Stanis & Zepos
(towards beech and left at Iguana bar) Paulos (left at main road
approx 1/2 mile r/h side) Left out of hotel 20yds on left
appartment with pool and snack bar, great service for lunch is
run by 3 brothers, breaks up the day, I would suggest you try all
these (Michaelos is superb). Tell Joff the Hotel entertainer that
Steve & Barry says learn to Coach football HA, HA
Hope this helps, you should have great time ley website know.

Sorry Sarah forgot email = exotica@hol.gr, Tel ++30 26950

There are only 4 family room with 2 bedrooms which are
charged at a higher rate. Twin 4s for your children are more than
adequate (2 beds and bunk bed/2 singles). I have been last 2
years and we were fine and my children are older. (you only
sleep in room) It seems October starts to wind down but early
should be OK, weather still good but daylight shorter like here. I
think you will find evening entertainment and bar will move inside
for October, a bit cooler in the evenings. You should have a great
time, most comments should confirm this.

1 set of doors with vents, 1 set with glass, plus curtains (ie: 3
barriers to avoid Mozzies), bit of advice buy Mozzie plug and tablets
about £4 from supermarket next door.

No problems, only approx 4-5 in and out a day, some take off
over beach, some away from beach. Its not noisy but quite
interesting watching them come in over the sea/beach. I think
your grandaughter will enjoy it. Great hotel been last 2 years and
returning again in August. Have a good time.

Great place, going back again this August 3rd year running, anyone from early August last year returning again? how are you Barrie, Les, John etc, etc Steve, Maura, Jake & Luke

Hi Barry Good stuff, well be seeing you again then, we go 8th - 19th Aug, cant go on the 5th Grans 100th birthday, had to compromise. Will be great all catching up again. Keep in touch. Steve, Maura, Jake & Luke

Returned on 19th after 3rd year in a row, great warm, friendly place, Sevi, Sia, Efe, Jo, Aleco etc all the hotel staff are excellent. Will hopefully return next year to this fairly quite, relaxing Island where you meet faces from past years over and over again. Great retaurants, especially "Michaelos", great beach, convenience shops, bars, snack bars etc all you need for a relaxing holiday, but plenty of superb scenery and places to visit on the island. A must for all to see at least once. Hi to Barry, Cin, Scott, Sam, Les, Debs, Jordan, Martin, Janine, George, Loti, Steve etc etc, just a few who have returned again and again.

Janine, Martin & kids. See you August 4th 2006, were going back again too, hopefully well catch up before then. We will have to think up some more specials for Sia. Bacon and Avacado toastie sounds good. Steve, Maura & kids

Hi Harris, Speros & gang. Thanks for your hospitallity over the last couple of weeks to mine and Martins families. Keep up the good work hope to see you again next year. Make sure our photos you and I took go in brochure and on Web. Efharisto, Yamaas Steve

Well were home again, hopfefully back for the 5th time next year. Well done to the hotel for the nice memorial for Aleco. Ladin is doing a good job as is Paul considering hes only 17. Thanks to all for making our holiday enjoyable yet again, especially Sia, Sevi, Landin & Paul. A special mention for Maria who does really well in the snack bar. Hope all the people going shortly have a great time, its hard not to. Efharisto, Yasas Steve, Maura, Jake, Luke, Paul, Joanne & Sam
