'The Invisible Gang'

Palm Tree Bar - (Bars in Alykes)

Ali P  (20 June 2006)         

Well, what can we say? 

Once again we had 14 days and 12 nights of excellent grub - I came home 8lbs heavier - thanks Jon and Mel!!
 
Would highly recommend the BBQ chicken wraps  - TOO delicious - but everything we had over the fortnight was excellent - can't fault it in any way shape or form!
 
The staff as always were outstanding, even Jordan!  (Only joking!)
 
Lindsay and Lydia take especially good care of yourselves and we look forward to seeing all of you on 7 September - have our table ready!
 
Love to all - too many to mention by name - although most taken care of above.
 
Ali and Pete  xxxx
 
PS Fred says don't forget to say hi to Babs!!       

Joker - (Bars in Alykes)

Ali P          10/10

At last the 'Joker' has his own bar!!     For the best cocktails, company and atmosphere the Joker Bar, just up from the crossroads, is NOT to be missed.  Dancing on the bar, cocktail shaker throwing and flaming sambuca's a speciality. The shooters aren't bad either!   We had a fortnight in the excellent company of Tony, Peter, Diane, Tina, Nikos and Youanna (hope I spelt that right) oh, and who did I forget? Ah yes, the 'Joker' himself, the one and only Dimitri who always has a smile on his face and a welcome for everybody and who has been sadly missed behind a bar these last seven years!  Be careful on that donkey! Look after yourselves everybody and have a great season - I hope I haven't missed anybody out - pity we're not back in September   but we'll see you on 29th May for another fortnight of madness and mayhem.

Palm Tree Bar - (Bars in Alykes)

Ali P  (20 June 2007)        10/10

Once again we had our usual excellent cuisine both during the day and when the restaurant was open on a night. Thoroughly enjoyed both my pork chops and sunday dinner and Steve thinks you do the best steak on the island. Jon's potato and leek soup is absolutely delicious, the tomato is pretty special too. Not sure what Pete, Josie and Bryan thought, they were too busy scoffing. Our poached eggs on toast each morning were just right to start us off for the day, thank Anne! So, Jon, Lindsay, Bob, Balk, Anne, Speedy, James and who is that other one, oh yes Jordan, take care of yourselves and have a good season.

 
PS Jon - hope you've cracked the YP's and PE's !!
 
Love Ali & Pete xxx

Dennis Diner - (Restaurants in Alykes)

Ali P          10/10

Once again we had some lovely meals at Denni's Diner and I would definately recommend the gammon chop - delicious! The wine produced by Denni's dad is also something pretty special and doesn't give you a hangover!    Pop down to Heatwave after your meal and say hi to Tassi. Love to all, hope you have a great season. Pity we're not back in September but we'll see you on 29th May.

 
Take care

Dennis Diner - (Restaurants in Alykes)

Ali P          10/10

Once again spent many a happy meal here with Ann, Speedy and the lovely Denis - the 'piggy' chops with egg are even better this year.

Looking forward to coming back on 28th September to sample more culinery delights, Peter recommends the giros and the rack of ribs!
 
Take care everybody, can't wait till we're back again. 
 
 
 
 
 

Argiros Studios - (Accommodation in Alykes)

Ali P

Having been to Alikes for the last 11 years and stayed in various apartments, there are basic facilities and there are basic facilties!

The cutlery was practically non-existant consisting of a couple of bent stained t spoons, a couple of stained forks and a few basic knives - not exactly self catering equipment - just as well we never eat in but it would have been nice to be able to prepare and eat breakfast in the apartment!
 
The plates etc were also very lacking and in most cases plastic.
 
There was no maid service, except for change over day.
 
The mat in the bathroom was disgusting to say the least and spent the whole of our weeks holiday out of sight under the sink.
 
The view could not be faulted and the pool in the adjacent Clio was very clean and quiet which helped to make up for the dismal accommodation.
 
Would not stay here again unless it was vastly improved and would definately not recommend it.
