Savvas Hotel - (Accommodation in Laganas)

T E  (28 June 2005)         

the apts were pretty basic and essentially clean (if you can overlook the bed sheets) which was okay!!! buutttt the pool bar/snack bar place never closes and they blast music all night long which is cool until you wanna sleep.  there are like double glazed doors which blocks the music out but they are the only way to let any air into the room so you can either sweat all night or not sleep!!  told the libra reps (they are rubbish) who basically don't care because they are making money out of the whole mess.

you can hear every little noise in all the other rooms so a good sleep is just simply out of the question!! we would come back anywhere from 3am to 8am and try to go to bed but couldn't.  basically, be prepared to not get any sleep no matter how exhausted you are.
 
oh and lastly, not sure what is going on with the sewage out there but sometimes the smell in the savvas is overbearing.  so sorry if you have a shaky stomach from a p**s up because some evenings the rooms and whole place smell of s**te!!
 
also the savvas is bang at the top of the long strip soooo ladies bring comfy high heels because theres lotsa walking to be done from here to get to the decent places.  taxi back is 6 euros usually.
 
beyond that, laganas was cool - we had a great time!!  just wouldn't stay at the savvas again if you paid me

Ok ummm thanks for the insults!!!  Actually I feel clean bedsheets is a very basic requirement and as for inspecting them?  HOW can you not when you are face to face with them every night (mine had someone elses blood on them by the way which was ewww)!! Wasn't expecting great shakes for the money we paid....however as for spending lotsa time in my  room....hmmmm kinda had to because according to doc burkha on the strip..I had pneumonia and an asthma triggered by the pneumo....so needless to say some of the time I HAD to stay in my room - you try being on steroids and cortisone and throwing up and trying to party on the strip!!!  NOT A SADDO AT ALL.....was just ill and trying to spend a few days recovering so that I could party and enjoy my time at laganas.

Finally......it is STUDIOS not MEDOUSA they need to realise that people are sleeping in their accomodation and quit trying to compete with the clubs on the strip and eek every last penny out of people for late night drinks - you could do that anywhere in zante.

It is okay that you all disagree with my viewpoints, thats life, opinions differ.

However, I have given a VERY fair representation of our stay at the Savvas.  I wouldn't warn anyone off laganas, zante, it is BRILL.  But, to be honest, the savvas ain't all that.  We had ants crawling all over our kitchenette area, the pool bar NEVER stops blaring music (let's face it you have to sleep sometime over a two week period), there is a rough sewage smell in the wee hours and yes the cleanliness of the bedsheets is a bit disgusting.  That is fair - that is true!!
 
However, if none of that bothers ya then you will have a max time no doubt.
 
To be honest, I  never go to know any of the savvas folk because I would have ended up in an argument with them over never being able to sleep.  I had pneumonia and asthma and just wanted a few nights of sound sleep so that MY ENTIRE holiday wouldn't be ruined and I could give my meds a chance to work.  I personally thought that they were pretty inconsiderate blaring that music every minute of the day and night.
 
So once again I am sure we have all had differing experiences and what not but to say my time at the savvas was great would be lying!! If anyone comes here to get an idea of what they are buying, then they should see the whole picture not just what a few pissheads can vaguely recall!
