Right, Savvas apartments: Me and 6 mates went Aug3-Aug17. The rooms are ok, all you need really just two beds, a mirror, dressing table, cupboard and sink - and for some reason two MASSIVE rugs/blankets?!!? Anyway, the shower is a bad look, the whole floor gets covered in water. Grotbags the cleaner comes round every other day anyway to give you new towels and sheets and cleans the floors.
The pool - if you go in it you actually cant see your feet. Me and me mates heard all the reports of the murky water and stuff, with it being called The Blue Lagoon we debated wether or not it is mucky on purpose but couldnt decide....
The bar is ok, Alex has a good story about the Billy Goat (ask him) - but be aware that if he comes over to talk to you he 9 times out of 10 is trying to sell you something, wether it be the pool competition, bbq or whatever - we did neither so cant comment on how good/bad they are.
We had a decent stay there but did encounter a right bit of greek back-handedness - one night me and a mate came back leathered at about 6am, couldnt get in our rooms cos didnt have key so thought 'we'll sleep on the sunbed by the pool'...next thing i know weve got this old greek bloke going mad waking us up and throwing us off the beds. So we get up still asleep and get in our room.
....EIGHT days later we are getting ready to go out, Alex and the old man come knocking on our door. Alex says the old man saw us break the sunbed - which we didnt, we just lay on it - and now wants 60 euros to replace it, else they will throw us out of the hotel - FACE. So we say we will see our rep the next day. Next morning Alex comes knocks us up with this handwritten note off our rep (dont get me started on how bad he was, we saw him once in 2 weeks) saying the old man has told him that he watched us break the beds and that we have to pay the money or the police will come - FACE again.
So what they have done is let us drink and eat in their bar as normal for 8 days spending a load of money, then said right give us 60euros now on our last day! Cheeky b*stards!!! Had no choice other than pay up for doing nothing wrong.
Just be aware that greek 'friendliness' generally revolves around money.
On a good note, the karaoke on Monday nights in the hotel bar is class - its ran by a woman called Auntie Sue, seriously talk to her as much as possible she is a knockout!! we ended up going out with her a few nights and having a bbq at her villa - tell her 'Elvis' sent you she'll give you a shot.
