All 16 of us have just got back from Alykes, we found cheers a few nights after we got there and stuck with it. If you have kids i would especially recommend going to cheers there are 4 different computers with dance mats to play on plus a free pool table, there is adult entertainment everynight and the staff are absolutely wonderful. Whilst we were there it was my mums 40th birthday Sarah (the land lady) arranged a suprise party for us decorated the bar, got a birthday cake made, and got her a free drink all at no cost to us so if you read this sarah thank you very much.
We stopped her in July 2004 the apartments weren't brill but if your just looking for somewhere to sleep and scrub up its ideal. The owner Arthur is absolutely lovely and so helpful, he brought us fresh vegetables from his allotment everyday. We would defiantle go back to these apartments again.
A group of us stopped at the panorama for two weeks in July 04. We found the appartments to be of a very low standard there wasn't a frying pan or plates when we got there and the bed clothes and linen were only changed once in the two weeks that we were there. In our party we had four children one of whom is disabled who used the pool for the first few days we were there only to be told by paul the manager that the kids were not allowed to use the pool if they were wearing a t.shirt when asked about the risks of sun stroke he told us this is what the owner Dennis had requested. In the same day paul then apologised and said that dennis the owner had only said this because he was in a bad mood. I wouldn't recommend any one with kids to stop at the panorama if the owner is willing to put childrens health at risk because of his mood swings.We then started use the pool at the back of the appartments which is the hotel Clio were the manager was so helpful and couldn't do enough for the children.
I would just like to reply to the owners daughter who says that her father didnt know the reason the child was wearing a tshirt was for the risk of sun stroke, most if not every person knows the risks of sunstroke/ sunburn and especially with children id of thought that owning an apartment in zante he would have seen what damage the sun can cause to children if they are not covered up !!!
