Arkadianos Hotel - (Accommodation in Agios Sostis)

Returned last week. Excellent Family Location but not for teenagers. Apartment very basic but clean. Kitchen facilities poor but not bothered cos we ate out every night. Excellent swimming pools and lovely sandy beach. Everything you need under one roof. Maestros taverna service and food below average - they tend to have most of the customers from the Arkadianos Beach Resort (as it is officially known as) and know it. This is due to the fact that it is next door and you get a 10% discount card from your rep. Also had the worst curry ever here. But then again what do you expect if you ask for curry in Greece!!!! When in Rome blagh blagh.......... If you venture to the other tavernas they are very very pleased to have your custom and do tend to be more grateful for it. Syrataki Taverna and Ole Ole Taverna are excellent and could not fault them. All in All an excellent holiday and would return again. Word of warning - went to one Taverna and fish was on the menu. I picked out a very small fish - say mackeral size - which was served on a bed of lettuce and nothing else, not even a chip! When the bill arrived it cost 18 euros. I queried the bill and was told fish is sold by weight - so beware!!! Its seems as though I am picking out all the bad stuff but I just want to warn other holidaymakers. It is an excellent resort, excellent hotel and there are beautiful tavernas all around you. We went to the Water Park that opened early August. Brilliant day out for all the family. Well worth the money. Shipwreck beach is brilliant but you do spend quite a long time on the boat to get there.

Waterpark is very good for the younger kids say up to 14. It is still very new (grass still growing) but really pleasant. It is still small enough to keep an eye on your children and they can go on all the rides (except one shoot was closed). Not too large that you can get lost. We went with the JMC rep and price was fair. Cant remember how much but quite close to the admission price if you were to travel via own means. I think (dont quote me on this) they made approx five euros per head which basically covers the cost of coach. Have fun. I am sure you will enjoy water park. One point to remember. They will not let anyone wearing jwellery down the shoots. So leave all earrings, rings, ankle chains etc locked away at your hotel.
