My family and I are going to stay at the Arkadianos Apartments on the 4th July 2004 and we would like to know if the Apartments have had air conditioning put into the rooms as i read in a brochure that it was hoping to have it in by May 2004, and if so how much per night.
What a lovely Island Zante is. Would love to go back some time but i would stay somewhere different as the Arkadianos Apartments are so noisy, young people coming in at 2 and 3 in the morning, the noise was terrible with them jumping in the pool when there are signs up telling you not to go in the pool after a certain time at night and then fighting with people and screaming, when you have young children this is the last thing you want to hear at night, then you have your neighbours who do not have any consideration, who come in and do not know how to shut doors without slamming and with the walls being paper thin.
Didn't think much of the travel reps either, not once on holidays was any of my party asked how they were enjoying their holiday but that was probably because we did not have any children in the kids club. That would have only took up five minutes of their time.
Apartments were clean but basic, but you do not need much when all you want on holiday is somewhere to shower and sleep, we paid for air-conditioning which is 5 euros a night per unit, with most apartments having 2 units, but this is great to keep you rooms cool.
Maestro restaurant is excellent, we ate there most of our holiday as the waiters and waitresses are very friendly and the food is delicious, i loved the saganaki. Syrtaki restaurant lovely place to eat as well, and the greek night at Sirocco is brilliant.
We did a trip round the Island through Spring Tours and that was a great day out, you get to see the Blue caves, Keri caves, and the shipwreck and then round to see the turtles, which we did get to see and the captain of the boat kept circling to let everyone get a look which the kids thought was fantastic as one decided to come up for air.
Breezer Bar a must place to drink, free shots from Mentos who is friends with everyone. Great Karaoke night at the Wild Rose bar.
Airport a bit on the small side, but just glad that we were flying at night as the people we made friends with said it was a nightmare flying through the day.
