We returned yesterday from Zakynthos where we had a wonderful holiday based in Alykes. We travelled for the first time with Olympic Holidays and would have absolutely no hesitation travelling with them again. The staff were totally efficient and professional, from check in at Glasgow to arrival at Zakynthos, luggage collection was very quick and mini coach transfer to resort also fast, allowing for the roads! Our rep Louisa was just so sweet, our son (11) said she made the world a better place! On our return home, again total efficient and friendly. The rep took us straight into the airport, in front of queues of people already waiting, for whatever reason, we were checked in and waiting in departures (another story!) within 20 minutes of arriving at airport, can't ask for better than that. Some people do obviously have the misfortune of having unhappy holidays, but there are others who are so caught up in the claim culture that they seek every single problem and elaborate, these persons then slag off perfectly good tour reps! Families with very young children should have enough responsibility not to book allocation on arrival holidays but have the common sense to check out the brochure for appropriate holidays instead of trying to save 10 quid.........
We arrived at the park at 2.05pm the discounted rate applies from 2.30pm so we waited 20mins then the staff let us in for the lower rate. 2adults and 1 child would be 44 euro(17 x 2 + 10), we were charged 31, so that was ok. The park is a bit small with only 7 slides plus lazy river, one swimming pool and one kids slide, octopus style. We found that the half day was long enough, the park closes at 6pm. Fun for an afternoon, but remember your sun cream. I forgot mine and suffered later that night.......
