Arkadianos Hotel - (Accommodation in Agios Sostis)

Hi there. Went to this resort and apartments last year. loved it so much going again on 12 August. Can't wait. Can anyone please tell me if the paradise restaurant is still open. had some fantastic meals there. we have even tempted two of our friends to come with us so can't be bad. if anyone worried from some of comments you have seen. yes accommodation is basic but what do you expect for Greece? but the resort more than makes up for it. Not too much in way of activities for children, we have two 11 year olds but if you venture into Laganas there are trampolines which our two (and also my partner) enjoyed plus water park which we didn't go to but are this time. The island cruise is a must. shipwreck is fab and can't be missed. We met some great people and probably will this time. looking forward to meeting you from 12 August for 2 weeks.

Hi forgot to ask is it still better to take sterling travellers cheques or euros. we got a better rate for sterling last year but things could have changed. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Tracey. When we stayed at these apartments last year we took 2 10 year olds with us and didn't pre book the club as wasn't sure if they would use it all the time. most of the time they didn't as they thought they were a bit old for it but if you have younger children then it might not be too bad. saying that they may go for one or two sessions this year if it gets too hot for them so we will just pay as we go along. i think there was only one time that the club was full over the full 2 weeks but we did go first two weeks of August 2003. You may be a bit late now to pre book it before you go. contact your travel agent and see if you can. with regard to apartments they are basic. if you get one of the front block rooms they are furnished nicer than the back block but as a base they are fine. if you are thinking of doing lots of cooking, don't as cooking facilities very basic. as a whole we loved it and looking forward to going again. only 4 days to go. hope this answers your questions. have a great holiday.

Hi there. Just returned from another fab 2 weeks at Arkadianos. We had room 320 which is the front building, overlooked sea and also front pool, views fantastic. Met loads of great people and really didn't want to come home. All staff really friendly especially Mentos, Eris and Annie all at Breezer bar. Wish I was still there. Can't wait to go back. If anyone has any questions don't hesitate to ask. Hi to Andy and Stacey who got engaged whilst they were on holiday.

Hi there, just sat here 2 weeks after arrived home from the 2nd time at this resort and accomm. wish i was there now. Andy I can't believe u marked everything average on your last comment, it is your second home. Anway thanks to Andys advise we decided to get a taxi from accomm to airport. only cost 15 euros so if anyone worried about transfers my advise is not to pre book, you can get a taxi easy from airport and return, you will not have to queue as long and you get to spend more time in the sun. This place is a must and anybody who hesitates about booking due to some of the previous comments, don't worry if I could live there I would, it is so relaxed, the people are fab and so is the food. Love it loads.

 Hello there to Andy and Stacey and anyone we met last year in August.  Guess what, we have booked our holiday today.  Any idea where we are going?  Oh yes, Arkadianos, 5 August for 2 weeks.  Awful flights but what the hell.  R U still getting married in August?  It would be great if you were going same time.  Can't believe it will be our 3rd year running.  How is everyone? Does Laura still work at spiros boats?  Looking forward to seeing everyone again. 

Andy do you have an e mail number for apartments so I can request a room?  Anyone going around these dates look forward to meeting you, maybe for a drink or 5 at breezer bar!!  Think it is 6 weeks and 5 days to go.  Not counting or anything!  See you soon.  Joanne, Dave, Gemma and Ashleigh xxxx

We returned on 19 August after our 3rd year running.  Must say I have been on this site since I came back but could not write anything because I am so fed up with such negative reports from some SAD people.

 
On our first day there we were given a room which we did not like.  After speaking to manager we were move next day with no problem.
 
We were overun with ants but if you have a problem get some killer from reception.  Its not a problem.
 
Love the resort and complex.  Anyone booking here or thinking about it I would say yes.  Everyone so friendly.  Loads of repeat bookers.  Our children want to go back again next year.  Think that has got something to do with nelly the pool boy.  Also I luv it too. 
 
If Laura on line will e mail u soon.  Say hello to alty for us.
 
Tony and Cheryl.  Hi.  Was good to meet us.  If we go next year will be 29th July or round about.  Hope u had a good second week.
 
Lots of luv to everyone.

Hi Laura,

 
If you get this can't send you an e mail as my computer will not accept your e mail address.  Gemma has tried to add you on her address to speak on msn but she can't do anything neither.
 
Hope you r ok.

Hi Tony,

 
Glad second week was good.  Sick of moaning people as well.
 
It was good to see you to.  Nice to put a face to the name.
 
We are tied unfortunately because girl at work got in before me and took date I wanted so will be 27th July for 2 weeks.  Also 2 girls at high school so must stay in holiday times.
 
Hope everything ok.  Still c u r shown as Austria.
 
Speak soon.
 
Luv  Joanne, Dave and girls.

Anyone else.  Ignore negative comments.  There are so many of us you can c on line that go back time after time.  It is the best for relaxation, friendly people and good beach location.  Us regulars should all meet up the same time and have a great party.

Hi Brian and Sandra.

 
Got home this afternoon only 1 hour delay so not too bad.  Absolutely shattered, could do with another holiday to recover ha ha.
 
What do you mean the family from hell?  We were very well behaved!!!! ha ha ha!!!
 
It was great to meet you both.  Missing the place already.
 
To Sam you are a gr8 rep, loads of fun.  Bet you are glad Dave has gone home.  No more pushing you in the pool.  Will have to leave that to Eri!!  Enjoy your bacon sandwiches.
 
Eri you are a star as normal.  Missing you too
 
Take care everyone.
 
Oh and a big hi to everyone that we met.  You were gr8 company.
 
Lots of luv.

Hi Mr Dudley and crew.

 
Can't believe we have been back in lovely sunny (not) England for over a week.  Our hols seem ages ago.
 
Glad you had a gr8 time.  We always do.  It was gr8 to meet you all.
 
If we go back next year looking at going a couple of weeks later maybe mid August.  Would love to go back next week but can't do.
 
You all take care.  Will speak soon.  Have got your e mail number so will get in touch.

Hi to Sandra and Brian.

 
Glad you had another good week.  Aren't there so many miserable people around after seeing previous comments.  If you want 5 star treatment don't go to a 2 star complex in Greece.  Thats my opinion.  We still love it.
 
Hope the boys are all ok.  Miss them.  Well you don't get the same eye candy in England do you.
 
Hi to Sam.  We didn't book trips with you but hey you were not miserable to us.  Good job coz you would have ended up in the pool from Dave more often ha ha.  Only joking luv you really.
 
Hi to the scottish yobs.  We are the couple who asked you if you had put a comment on site.  You are bad boys ha ha.
 
Anyway luv to everyone.  Will speak soon.

Hi Mark and Vicky,

 
Glad you are ok.  Haven't been on the site that much recently, not as exciting as it used to be.  Seems that alot of us regular guests from years gone by have dwindled away and don't write anymore.
 
We are all fine. Dave has recovered I think ha ha!!  It feels like a lifetime ago since we were away.  We are going to Egypt in November just for a week, no kids.  Can't believe that Gemma decided a few days before we were due to come home that she wanted to start talking to Leanne.  Thats children for you!  They should have done it from day 1.
 
It would be great to see you if you come to Southport.  Let us know when you are coming and we will arrange to meet.  My e mail number is joannegidman@aol.com.  Vicky Chicago is on at the Theatre 21 Nov-2 Dec.  I know you said you fancied coming to watch it.
 
Take care and hope to speak soon.
 
Hi to anyone else we met and have not spoken too since been back.  Dave, Joanne and girls 28 July-11 Aug.  Loads of love to Eri, Tori, Demitri, Didi, Mosi,Vangelis, Alti, Nelli, Castrioti, Florijon and not forgetting Christina.  Hope I have remembered you all.  Miss you.
 
To Sam. Hope you have tried to keep dry!!
 
May see you next year.  Who knows.   xxxx

Hi Steph,

 
Thanks for writing.  I have been reading  your comments since when we started going 4 years ago but we never seemed to be there the same time.  I think you might have stayed next door last year.  We went first 2 weeks in August and thought I had read we would be overlapping slightly but didn't get to meet you.
 
We were going to go somewhere different this year but when you have 2 then 13 year old girls wanting to go and see the 'boys' it was easier to just book it. At least we know they are safe and can wander around without any trouble.
 
We went to Cyprus twice which we love but trying to get the girls back there is a no go.
 
I will admit this year we did feel the difference. The Wild Rose now not really the place to go, quite quiet compared to previous years.  The staff that remain still great but it does not have the same atmosphere. Maybe we need to venture to pastures new and return in a couple of years.  You never know may even be there the same time.
 
Once again thanks for your comment and happy holidaying!!!

Hi Tony,

 
It's Joanne and Dave.  Remember us from last year?
 
We went again this year. Had a great time as we always do but it did seem different.  There have been a few changes.  I was looking out for you but we had to go a bit earlier this time due to work.
 
We have got two weeks off next August, girls midering to go back to Zante but who knows.
 
Nice to see you're still checking the site.  Not seen anything from you in ages. Hope you are all ok.
 
Take care and speak soon.
