Bougainvellea Apartments - (Accommodation in Agios Sostis)

HI Louchie

We stopped at the apartments end of october as we still wanted to see our friends in ag.sos. The place itself is lovely, we had the bottom ground floor apartment, very clean and spacious. The missus howver didnt enjoy the chickens every morning at about 5 letting her know it was time to get up. The pool was great for the kids and the food was excellent. We didnt spend much time there as we were visiting our friends but felt slightly uncomfortable at times because of this. I dont think this is a bad thing either, I reckon if we stayed there all the time we would of had similar hospitality. The owners are very nice (greek man, english woman) and are happy to help you whenever. Howver the rooms are only cleaned about twice a week, from memory. If I couldnt get into the arkadianos again I would defianetly book back in, I would just have to go on a chicken hunt to convince the missus. Do you know where the villa is?

Jillian, the guys are still there, spent a lot of time with Eris and Semi when I went over to see Tori in February. I am sure that when you return they will be happy to see you as this is what the guys strive for. I think Jillian you have hit the nail on the head. Agios Sostis is becoming a busy resort. There are going to be times when things are slightly noisy or a room isnt what you thought it would be, but as most people on this board mention they spent most of the time discovering Zante and having a few sherberts at night, enjying themselves and the company around them. I know im bias but some of the best times I have had is sociallising around the Breezer Bar (sometimes never making it into the club lol)
 
You have to remember that to get a flight alone to Zante is about £250 and if you book your hols you probably spend the same sort of price. If you want to know exactly what you want in the picture and to be able to complain about everything that comes your way then this isnt the place for you. This is a very laid back society and area of Zante. Things arent done as soon as somebody says jump, but to be honest I thought that was the idea of a holiday........to relax!!
 
Lastly, I apologise if anyone does go and has a poor holiday due the comments on here but I am sure that the majority as you can see have had a fantastic time and return annualy wherever possible. As long as you are generally a chilled out person who wants a break from the daily grind then I can thoroughly recommend thats what you will get. Remember as well that its not just the place and accomodation, its down to you to make the most of your holiday.

I will do Jillian, I must admit, I can see why people wouldnt want to stop, there are certain aspects. The main point is that most people who have enjoyed it there have let themselves go and not let the little things get them down......yeah there are areas which could be better, isnt there on any holiday and again not every holiday is perfect. Im sure that everyone has a favourite place but that doesnt mean other people will like it. I think the good thing about this board is that there are a large number of people with similar comments.!

You will be fine Lou, is it the school holidays you are going on and whats the size of your party?

Im sure you will love it again, When we were there we did spend some time around the pool which was nice but to be honest we spent most of our time down at the front of arkadianos, plus if you go round the back im sure yr little one will find a few friends over the half term holiday to play with you, perhaps even leaving you for a little time to relax

 
Either way, enjoy it. I am hoping to get a last minute booking for the week they are off but it isnt looking too promising at the moment. If I do go I will prob try and relocate in ag.sos if necessary, just to get the cheap flight. Im sure I will find a room somewhere. If this is the case I will see you by the Breezer bar im sure. You can ask Tori if I am around to point me out lol
 
All the best with your holiday

OMG, what a week. I couldnt believe how much Gary and Karen could drink, but thanks for a great holiday over the week. Excellent time yet again, I am  glad to be home to give my liver and kidneys a rest (donations gratefully accpeted). Big hello to everyone we met out there this time, it seems the Arkadianos family just gets bigger and bigger. Definately shows there are more people out there who love this place than those who dont. See you all soon

Got to say that this place is fantastic, forget the tourist type places and find a proper greek place to eat. Loved every minute of it

Hi Joanne & Dave, sorry been busy. The email address says its info@arkadianos.com, however if you try this on the web i.e. www.arkadianos.com it doesnt show the page, however if you type www.arkadianos.gr the website does come up, so i think if you try info@arkadianos.gr you should get somewhere, a bit long winded but hope you understand.

Hi Joanne, with regards to the sign there is one main table in the Wild Rose which is purely for adults and another which is for general use. At the back hotel pool there are two further tables that are for general use as well. Im sure if he is playing with someone responsilble in a proper game he would be allowed to play on the adult table. Hope this helps

Well, here I return from another painful trip away. The reason I use the word painful is two fold. Firstly because I hate it when I have to leave, and secondly, the pain in my kidneys and liver lol.
 
Wonderful weather and a great big thank you to all the staff there. I know we mention eri and tori a lot but I would like to say a big thank you to all.
 
A big hello to Tracy, Mary and Sandy, also Steve and Diane, Paul Cath and the girls, Andy & Linda and all the other people we met this time out. It feels like we are all one big family now. We will all have to decend one year for a reunion lol
 
All those that are on their way out I hope you have a great time. I am already missing working at Breezer Bar but I am sure I will be there soon
 
Love to all

Was hoping to go away end of August after our wedding as a little honeymoon but think Stacey may want me to herself (God knows why!!) instead of spending so much time with the lads and at the bar, but never say never, alternatively we may try for end of september begining of August. Anyone else going this time?

Well you know me too well Steph, it has been about a year since I was last there, and although I have been in touch with the guys (and girls), its not the same as being there. So we are arranging to go at some point during the summer holidays even tho its an extortionate price.

I also have to confess that I have been elsewhere on holiday, however not during the summer months. I have been to Dominican Republic, America and Dubai and although they are fantastic places, I cant wait to get back to see "me old mates!!!"
 
Really looking forward to it but have had to promise the wife that I am not allowed to stay out till 7am partying lol
 
Just loadds of beers by the breezer bar then (that is if im not there working )
