I believe there is some form of air-conditioning in a few rooms but you will have such a good time you will be too tired to notice if it is warm! However there are fans in all rooms. There were no fridges in the rooms but the very helpful owners have a fridge available for residents use - if you need it for something particular just ask I have no doubt that the hotel will do everything they can to oblige. I have visited several times with my sister Rosie and we are going back on 11 July this year with my niece can't wait - Hi Yiannis and family see you soon! Are any of the rest of the gang going at the same time?
Rosie - are you on the website at the same time as me - what a coincidence - speak to you tomorrow about arranging to see you on Saturday to try on th holiday gear!!!!!!!
O.K. This is getting silly now. What about practicing over the weekend -will need a few drinks first - still what's new!
I find myself having to agree with the comments of Rosie Brown. The live music before 12 was very good, Tiffany's game was also good fun. Unfortunately this bar takes on a completely different character after 12. It changes from a good fun, family type of bar to a seedy, underage venue where young people under the influence of drink alongsde their raging hormones are putting themselves into risky situations - both boys and girls. I too have been witness to the driving skills(?!) of the red mini - didn't realise it was to do with the Down Under.
Had another great holiday. Staff, as usual, more than helpful, clean rooms, nice friendly atmosphere. Can't wait for next year. See you then Yianni McFadden and family.
This is in response to Emma and Rosie. Rosie - good on you, I also like to have a good time after 12 and am probably older than you. Emma, glad to note you now understand the world from an older persepective. I am pleased you enjoyed yourself at this bar, I don't know how old you are and you may well be a very responsible young person. It was not the drinking as such that concerned me, and I did not see one fight - what I did see were young people putting themselves at risk of unwanted sexual advances and everything that follows on from this (boys and girls) I'm sure I don't have to spell it out to you. Just because there doesnot seem to be a legal age limit within the law on Zante does not make it morally right for grown ups to be serving alchoholic drinks to children. We are all as adults responsible for the safety and wellbeing of children so I feel entitled to have my opinion of this bar noted.
only four weeks to go!!!!!!!!!!
WELL SAID TOLIS!!!!!!!!
Tolis and Yiannis would like to live at Denny's Inn and I expect they do treat it as their second home, but they are holidaymakers like us. The thing about Denny's Inn is that you are made to feel so welcome it is only too easy to think that you are off to your holiday home for two weeks every year.
Well said Jay, I gather you must have been reading all the comments about Denny's Inn. I thought the hoo hah that Mr. Gordon caused had all died down! Still it is his loss.
JOHN MCFADDEN - YOU WILL GET SPOTS ON YOUR TONGUE!!!
thanks for the message Alison, John and Kirsty. Looking forward to seeing you. For all those other people who will be there around the same time as me and my sister please say hello to us (Jeannie and Rosie) I'm the quiet one she's the noisy one - you'll have a great time. I am writing this from my desk in work and I don't have to come back anymore until 2 August hooray!!!!
Glad to see you all seem to have got home alright. You're right Kirst it is really depressing being back at home. Already the holiday seems a long time ago. I think I should go to Denny's Inn several times a year!!! Love to you and your mum and dad
HEY SHAY!!!! Saw your entry - good to see you read it. This is your old teacher here -keep up the good work and prove us all wrong! You can make something of yourself....... How are things with babies etc? I still can't work out why The Venue does not have a 10 out of 10 perhaps the peole who go on are not ticking the box to register that they liked the bar especialy given the high profile of the toilets
Is that strictly true or was than not vodka you were drinking at Andrew's wedding?
Well Rosie and I will be paying for our holiday this weekend - makes it seem much closer. Can't wait to see you all again.
Only 5 weeks to go and boy am I looking forward to it. I have had a pig of a few weeks at work so I think a few cocktails, a swim and sunbathe should sort me out! Looking forward to seeing everyone.
4 Weeks to go. I have heard that Steve and Wendy are also coming out this year - does anyone know when as Rosie and I are looking forward to seeing them - we missed them last year. A mesage for the Mayor - "How is the Vicar?"
Well lucky old Rosie - home from work. I am still at work but like Rosie when I read all the comments I get really excited and looking forward to seeing everyone!!
I AM SO EXCITED!!!! Just about to switch off the computer and go home for the last time before I go on holiday. Really looking forward to seeing everyone and having some good times.
Well since my last comment I have spent two great weeks at Denny's Inn and am now unhappily back at work. Rosie and I had a great time. We met lots of old friends and had a good time with some new ones. The Hotel has been refurbished to a very high standard and now looks absolutely stunning. The pool area has also had a face lift. There have been several visitors both to us and other residents at the hotel who have commented on the high standards of cleanliness and the friendliness of staff. They also comment that the pool is the cleanest and freshest they have seen with no overbearing smell and taste of chlorine.
Agree with Rosie, Leigh and Paula and staff (steady Eddy) are very friendly and welcoming. I'm glad they will be running the bar next year and will definately be visiting. George, hope you have sorted out the CD's for Karaoke!!!
thanks, Rosie for giving our ages away!!! Agree that this is a place where all ages can have a good time. Donna and Tony are great and what can I say about my old pupil?? I wonder if the people who did not like your PR had come across the loveley S? Rosie is right the greeter who we saw during our holiday was lovely and friendly and very polite. It's a rotten job!!! See you all next year and thanks for a great time.
HERE HERE!!!
You're right, Wendy, the hotel looks absolutely lovely all the refurbishments are excellens and tasteful! Glad to see you are talking about going back next year - that's what makes Denny's Inn so great, people love it and go back year after year and make friends along the way. Glad you got back ok - I understand that there was one night when you also put away a fair bit of Metaxa!
Thought I would comment on the PR debate! As I said previously I did not find the PR girl pushy at all. If you really want to see a pushy PR then go to the other end of the strip and be harrassed by PR for the really nice pasta place upstairs - he was pushy but would not stop me going in as I know it to be a great place to eat! I think the fact that the Venue has stayed open in what are difficult times in Kalamaki speaks for itself as I am aware that even this year some new bars have closed mid-season including one of those recommended by the Venue's critics.
Well said Sharon - good to see people standing up and being counted and supporting each other - there's lot of competition out there! My my sister and I really like the Venue and were disappointed with the negative comments. Nico, Tony and Donna run a brilliant bar and work really hard to ensure everyone has a good time. Plus some of the cleanest toilets in Kalamaki!
Where is this bar? Was very impressed with Sharon's comments in respect of the competition, sound like good people! Will make sure we visit next year!
I also met some nice people there, in fact I think it was you!!!!!! The Kalamaki message board on the right hand side of the screen will let you put on more reviews of your favourite places and speak to other people who have had a good time both in Kalamaki and the Venue.
Can't wait to see you - as you know we are comjing out on 17 July. I'm also 60 this year but not till December Will be having a knees up and you will be invited
Mike I'm sure you and your girlfriend will have a great time. There are lots of places to see and I am sure your rep will give you the info Alternatively you can book direct with some of the sights e.g. trips round the island etc. A car is great if you are confident driving on the other side of the road and means you can suit yourself what when and where you visit.
Mike hope to see you at Dennys. My sister's use of jet lag is just an excuse for sleeping all afternoon!
Looking forward to seeing you all. We should be at the Hotel about 6ish. Will wait till 8 to give you a knock. We are really looking forward to our home from home break at the lovely Denny's Inn!!
Forgot to say, Jill and Richard are coming out on the Tuesday after us. Our other sister and her husband are coming out on the Sunday but staying somewhere else. Ellie we are looking forward to the early birthday bash!
Mike you really are a master of the understatement. It's actually very grey and persistently raining (or whatever the phrase is) Lucky you. We have to wait until next Thursday to get to Denny's Inn where we know a warm welcome will await us - alongside some Cocktails, Karaoke, Swimming, Sunshine........you know how it goes!!
Only 6 sleeps and then a half a sleep on the plane before we get to Dennys......can't wait. Proabably will get to the airport about 5.30a.m.
just finishing off in work before i leave to prepare for my lovely relaxing 2 weeks at denny's inn. can't wait! looking forward to the pool volleyball, cold drinks, coktails, karaoke.....oh and meeting up with old friends and hopefully making some new ones.
see you all soon!x
Sad to say back at work after a fabulous two weeks at Denny's Inn. As usual staff were brilliant, pool clean as ever. Management assisting over and above the call of duty.
Can't wait. Arriving in time for breakfast on Thursday 17 July. Hello to Bev if you happen to read this can't wait to see you all again. Some of the crew also coming out so we will have some good times!
