I will be going to Tsillivi in a week. I have a 1 yr who is just starting to eat normal food. Obviously there will not be a great deal meal wise he can eat as he only samples food at the moment. Could anybody tell me if its easy to get jars/tins baby food there. I dont want to have to carry 28 jars of food with me if I dont need to. Struggling with fitting his stuff already as he has no baggage limit.

Also are nappies easy to get. I dont mind what sort as its only 2 weeks, though he mainly uses pampers.
Thanks in advance for any replies, I will be very greatful.
 
Cheers

Hi Vanessa,

 
Thank you so much for that. Its a weight off my mind as well as the liggage.......... Lots of people have said that the resuraunts are child friendly, which is great. As you say, over hear its still very much a case of children must be seen and not heard....I also have a 10 yr old girl and she is very polite etc but obviously still wants to play and have fun.
 
Cant wait to go now....
 
Cheers

Hi Dawn

A totally honest opinion as we stayed there at the end of June for 2 weeks. T he place is lovely and clean, the maids are excellent. The food at Popeyes and Grecco is amazing as are most of the other resturauants. The food at the Admirals is as good. The beach is small but excellent for kids.

HOWEVER

The rooms are abismal...... It in no way could be classed as a 1 bedroom. The only seperation is a thin sliding door. The kitchen, wardrobes and 2 single beds in one bit and a double bed and dressing table in the other. No room whatsoever. The fridge does not keep things cool either. If we had not had a spare bed we would have had no where to put our empty cases or anything. There is no air con and it cost 2.50 euro to hire a fan per day. They are old and noisy.

The evening entertainment was not really anything, some quizzes, some drinking games for all the people who want to get totally drunk. There is absolutely nothing for the kids to do in the evening, apart from wander around the resort playing with a friend. Yes they were noisy but bless them, they have nothing else to do. The kids club was ok...... when it was on. And one of the nights you have to pay for them to go for 3 hours. I think it is on 3 nights upto 8pm and the day one a couple of hours either 12-2 or 2-4. I had a ten yr old and it could have been so much better.

I would never go there again. The Island is lovely but my experience has put me off. . My daughter was so bored that she spent a few hours in the pool and then sat indoors reading.

Im sorry to be so negative in this way and im sure there was a lot of people who enjoyed it and people on here who will disagree but this is my honest opinion of the place. Oh and buy some and powder/spray as the come on the balconies and bite........

Wish you had asked before booking, as I wish I had done.

Hi

I am neither igonorant or miserable and paid £1300 for my CHEAP  holiday. I do not have a problem with the Admirals but with the way it is portraid in the brochure by Thomas Cook. I have had many great holidays with them but had they really given a true description I would not have booked the holiday. The kids club was cancelled 3 times whilst we were there, and as I also took my 1 yr old with me, I was obviuosly not looking to GET RID of my kids so I could get p....d. I stand by my origional comments that although the place was immaculate and the maids etc were excellent, the rooms are appalling and I paid for the Kids Club in my holiday which added a fair amount to the price and my daughter was disappointed when it kept being cancelled. It was her holiday as well......

Hi
Yes it was supposed to be in with the price. We went to Lanzarote the year before and had to pay for the clib out there which was fine. But this was supposed to be all in and was more expensive as a result.

No we were not informed that she could use the other kids club. So Im not miserable just bitterly disappointed and it was not what you would call a cheap holiday so we could say ah well, you get what you pay for.

So as I said, its not the Admirals that was the problem and we have taken it further with Thomas Cook.
