Hi, we are staying at the Alykanas Beach Village in september. We have booked a 2 bedroomed apartment that sleeps 4, but have just received the confirmation details which says the 2nd bedroom has no door on it!!! Can anyone explain the layout of these apartments? We are alittle concerned!!

we stayed here in 2002 and had a great holiday, but after reading some recent views i would like to know if this resort is still of the high standard that we experienced? as we are returning with friends in september. what are the 2 bedroomed apartments like as we stayed in studios last time?

I have just read a comment on a different site from a family that have just arrived home after 2 weeks at the Alykanas beach village, they were not happy at all and wrote that the shop is no longer open, you should wear shoes in the pools or you will cut your feet and the cleaners are rubbish and never change or make the beds!!! Can you please let me know if this is true? [they went 7th july 2004] As we are going on the 9th september. Thanks.

Thankyou to everyone that replied to my last question. We didnt think it could of changed that much in a year.[Hence, why we booked to go back!!] To Peter, we went with our 3 children 5,9 and 12yrs and the Greedy Greek catered for them very well, although the food was basic that is what they wanted and they finished their meal cos they got a free icecream after!! We felt very relaxed in the resturant [ the free wine helped!] and there was a play area for them aswell. You`ll prob see us on the 9th, we are the 4 lilly white saddo`s by the volley pool and will be like lobsters in the bar by 6pm!!!!

To Peter again, i would definately buy some plug in mosquito killers for your studio/apartment,[ Lloyds chemist or Boots are the cheapest ]we didnt the first time there and they attacked me a couple of times. Oh and if your little one likes Mc Donalds there is one in Tsilivi,which is about 10 mins in a taxi,the beach is lovely 2.

Hi has anyone stayed in the 2 bedroomed apartments? Can you explain to me the outlay as i have read there isnt a door on the 2nd bedroom,and this is a little concerning as we are going with mates and need privacy!!!!

To Gary, thankyou for your reply it has put our minds at rest. We are really looking forward to a great holiday. [ only 10 days to go!!!! ]

Hi to everyone that has just arrived home. We are going on the 9th, what has the weather been like? After spending 6 wks with the kids and the rain it would be nice to have some sunshine to look forward to!!!!

Gary, thanks for the advice. We are on the countdown now!!! I`ll let you know when we get back what the weather was like.

To Jayne, We stayed in a studio for 4 and it was plenty big enough, infact it was alot bigger than we expected. My parents stayed in a studio that catered for 3 and theirs was big too, all the beds are propper beds so no one has to sleep on a sofa that has to be made up everyday. You will love it, they are spacious and clean. Enjoy your holiday. We have only got 3 days to go before we arrive!!!! [ not that we are excited - much!! ]

hi, we also stayed here for 1 week from 9th sept, we had a great time but the 2 bedroomed apartments were not what we expected!! there is 1 bedroom and the 2nd is 2 single beds in the lounge area with the kitchen attatched. if 4 adults are going it is not really suitable if you want privacy as the couple in the bedroom have to walk through the lounge area to get to the bathroom!!! you might as well book the studio for 4, and its cheaper.but having said that we have booked for next year in a studio as you can not beat this place. this is going to be our 3rd visit and we will book for 2006 as soon as we can.the whole village is just wonderfull, the weather is fantastic and the beach is soooooo safe you will have the best holiday ever. it is a relaxing yet fun place for the kids as they can experience freedom which we cant do in this country. i look at this sight every time i go online so if you need any assistance just ask, we are going back [ all 16 of us,dont panic thats 9 adults and 7 kids!]and we are not rowdy.on 16th june 2005. cant wait to start packing!!! if you go here you will have a great holiday.bye for now.x

What a fantastic holiday. You can not beat this place for a great holiday, the adults can relax and the kids will have a fantastic time. We have been all over the place, the canaries was great but this is a holiday made in heaven!! You really will nor experience a nicer place.

Hi Jane, Airtours and Direct holidays go to the Alykanas Beach Village resort. We booked online as you get more discounts.[with direct holidays]Best of luck with your search, but book early as they get lots of repeat guests!

To Mark.We stayed in a studio for 4 last year and it was quite large, there is a double bed next to the patio doors and 2 single beds the other side of a half partition wall next to the bathroom. We emailed Gloria the manager about 2 weeks before we went and asked for ground floor due to having 2 children and she was fantastic,we found it so much easier not having to be on edge when they went near the balcony. [ and the advantage is you can leave your room unlocked and just jump over a small wall when you need to get in, which everyone done!!]You will have a fantastic holiday, 18 of us are going back for the 3rd time in june and we cant wait. But take some plug in mosquito killers with you as they do like to feast on the english. Have a great time, you have nothing to worry about the studios are great.

To "H" I have read your reply to the comments written about your friend. I would just like to say that we have been to Alykanas many times and have never witnessed the holiday rep`s disrespecting the customers but i must say that if i had heard such comments and swearing i would of wrote the same for everyone to see/read!! I can understand that you are obviously upset with the person concerned but is that because of your own reasons eg.you may have to stay on the island on your own or your genuine denial of what happened? When on holiday with children we have to protect them from witnessing such behaviour from other holiday makers and i totally agree that it is NOT acceptable from a rep, and she should be sent home with her P45. I hope she has learnt a valuable lesson by the experience, and as for you "H" look after number 1 as impressional friends will drag you down and that would be a shame as you sound like a good hearted person.

Hi has anyone been to the water park on the island? If you have, what was it like, how much and was it worth the visit? Thanks for your help.

The entertainment is very limited at the beach village, they did have bingo a couple of nights and karaoke for the kids twice but on the whole there isnt alot for children to do in the evenings. [ there is a pool room that children can use ] And thanks Alexis, we have decided to give the water park a miss, and will be looking for another trip for the children, do you know of any? they are 14, 11, 7 yrs old.

Add your comment here.To Hayley.   We have never stayed at Letsos Aparthotel but from the outside it looks quite nice. My comment to you is that the Alykanas Beach Village is a fantastic place to stay, we have stayed there 4 times and are going back with 16 of our friends and family in june this year. The self catering facility there is excellent, and is keep very clean. The 4 swimming pools are also fantastic, with the added bonus of being right on the beach. It is NOT an ugly building and does not effect the beach outlook at all. I feel that you may be a tad jealous of this accommodation as you never got to stay in it!! I would suggest that if you visit Zante again give it a go, you would never stay anywhere else on the Island again. ..

We got back on the 30th june after a 2 wk stay and wanted to share with everyone what a fantastic holiday we had. This was our 3rd visit to ABV and not our last, the complex is the best on the Island, it has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. We have 3 children and although there isnt any entertainment in the evenings they were very happy playing, talking to friends that they had made. There was a problem with the airconditioning but this was out of their control and they did get it fixed in the end. The swimming pools are clean and very large in comparison to other hotels/apartments on the Island and the gardens are kept to a very high standard. Its a very pretty and happy place to stay, no matter what you request Gloria will go out of her way to meet your needs. The food is fantastic and a good price, the drinks are alittle pricey but you get that in the UK on holiday. The Lemon Tree is a good restaurant, which has a play area for children, the horse and carriage take you there for 5euro. Also the Greedy Greek is great if you have a celebration, they arranged a table for 17 with banners and balloons and a cake for our 7 year old. [ A BIRTHDAY HE WONT FORGET ]  The airport has improved dramatically, we even got a seat!!! and didnt have to wait for long in the sun before going into the departure lounge. We highly reccommend you go to the ABV, they also rent out privately so you no longer have to pay for a rep. that you never see, saving you around £400. Enjoy .........  We cant wait to book for next year.

just read the last comment and are shocked that you disliked the complex!! all the local bars and restuarants are very good and the complex caters for everything you need for a self catering holiday, i just think some people are never happy and should stay at home if all they want to do is moan. abv has fantastic facilities and we have been all over europe on our holidays, alykanas is quiet but if you want lively night life you should do your homework before you book!! i would ignore the last review and have a great holiday here. best wishes.x

Hi Gaynor, There isnt much for the kids to do in the evenings we took dominoes and playing cards [the age of our children are 14,11 & 7] we also went to Cheers in Alikes which is just a short stroll along the beach, or grab a horse and they will take you direct to Cheers for 5euro. They have a free pool table all night,playstations [ so let the kids take their games cos they dont have many] and the internet. As for the studios they are very nice but take tea towel and washing up stuff. Everything else is there. There is an ATM in Alykanas at the supermarket next to The Greedy Greek restaurant and 3 in Alikes. I would also take your own piriton/piriteze for mosquito bites and some plug in killers cos they do enjoy a feast!! Have a great holiday, we love it at the ABV. [  Also the hotel next door have some fantastic entertainment in the evenings, its worth going. They have a list in reception. Greece is very different you can just walk into any hotel and use their facilities and they dont care, we even took our own drinks cos its cheaper from the shops.]  Look forward to hearing what you thought of it when you get back.

There isnt alot of night life in alykanas or alikes. If you have gone through a travel agent they put on a few nights out. There are plenty of restaurants and a few bars but i wouldn`t say they were lively. We went the 9th September last year and the weather was fantastic, around 80 to 85 most days, had a couple of showers but they only lasted an hour and then the sun dried it up with in mins, actually i would say sept is the best month to go. Hardly any mosquitoes and not so many children. U`ll have a great time. Ive got to wait another 14 months to go back!!!!  Have fun.

hi we went the 16th to 30th and it was very hot, when we arrived we had a chat with a couple that were leaving after 2 weeks and they said it had been between 28 and 34 everyday. we went with friends and they had a 16yr old daughter and we didnt see any evidence of p**verts, its the same as at home just stay in groups and keep yourself safe.[ your daughter i mean not adults!!!] we used to get up around 9 and found sunbeds, if they are all taken they have more out of sight which they will get if you ask. the beach sunbeds are 8euro for the day. have a fantastic holiday and dont worry she`ll be fine im sure.
