Cronulla Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Barry C           

We stayed at the Cronulla Hotel in Aug 2000. The hotel is family run and they are very friendly. The hotel's rooms are very spacious and all come with roof fans for cooling down. The swimming pool is big. The bar and snack bar are both excellent, serving anything you need. The hotel is a short walk from the centre of Kalamaki. If you are looking for a great holiday look no futher that Cronulla.

The food from here is out of this world. I know you are on holiday to try different foods but you must try this one night. The crispy peking duck is superb

Michaelos - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Barry C           

This is by far the best restaurant on the island. The service you receive is second to none. The restaurant gets busy quick so go early. When you get there you will be greeted by Dennis and he makes you feel so welcome. Try it when you go as it would be ashame not to.

Sugar Reef - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Barry C  (02 February 2001)         

We ate there we we went the first time. I ordered Tomato Soup and it looked like greasy water. My main course was a pizza & garlic bread when they arrived the pizza was wrong and they took it away leaving my with the garlic bread. It took them 15-25 minutes to return with another pizza. I had been so pissed off I ate half and left the rest. This is the best bit when our bill came they expected me to pay the full price. I had a word with the Manager (who I think was a poofter) and he was very rude. In the end I got the food for nothing.

Mandarin - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Barry C  (21 August 2001)         

This chinese is that good we went twice. We met the english guy who is part owner back in 98 working in the chinese in Kalamki. The food was out of this world. Try the spring rolls, fried wantons - crispy peking duck - noodles & madarin sizzling garlic beef, steamed rice & sweet & sour chicken with pineapples this is what we had the first night all for just over £25.00 with drinks (TRY AND DO THAT IN A CHINESE AT HOME). Second time we left out the duck and we change the sweet & sour for a crispy chilli beef. If you fancy a change from all the norm try this place. Location is between the pharmacy and tsilivi travel or if you are at the junction where popeyes is follow the road straight ahead
