Yamass!

having been put here by default(tour  operators) i found this hotel to be excellent. they couldnt do enough for you, the room was spacious with air conditioning, microwave and TV . breakfast was good and one of the cheapest, the beer was reasonable happy hour 6-12 mythos 2.50euros. staff were excellent and when my husband took ill couldnt do enough to make sure we had everything we needed. i cannot thank them enough for all their help

just got back from kalamaki and this place was great for breakfast. it was by far the cheapest and the nicest. also the happy hour here is really cheap with a glass of wine just 1 euro and some spirits just 1 euro. would recommend

didnt stay here, stayed across the road, but used facilities and had our breakfast here everyday, Arton is a wonderful person and makes you feel at home, see you all next year

david, just a couple of queeries on your post, 1 when did you last go to vanessa, 2nd if you found it so bad 1st time  why go back, 3rd how many beds did you ask for when booking, and as for the breakins i find it hard to believe that you were tret like that as 99%  of the greek people we have met can speak vey good english and cannot do enough for you as well as being very trust worthy. as for comparing any part of greece to florida etc is totally unfair . as for tingaki in kos i would say kalamaki and tigaki are about even., [i have been to both]

 we stayed at vanessa last year and found the acomadation clean, friendly and safe. the staff are really helpful and pleasent at all times, as for the comments from one of the previous posts if 2005 was your last visit you will see a huge difference now as a lot of the rooms were  totally refurbished for 2007 and the superior apartments are very modern and have microwave oven and hairdryer and tv , as well as wireless internet conection available. as for security we found it really safe and found all the staff to be very trust worthy . we used to leave money and our camera on veiw in the room and it never got touched.
we found the pool area very peaceful and a suntrap all day and never had a problem getting a  sunbed. and you could go to the bar have a good cheap snack and no one would nick your sunbed.
we will be going back in july we loved it that much!!!!!!

Glad to say that this year will be our 11th ish time at Vanessa.A fantastic place to stay from the accommodation to the hospitality you recieve from the Flemotomos family.

Just a message for Danielle,"are you back again this time?"
See you all soon , Andy Gill and Toni x

Stayed here 2 years running. Last stayed in 2005 as we have found Tingaki in Kos preferable due to its wonderful beach.
Accommodation is marginally above average for the resort.
Kitchen? - well self catering is a strange explanatory term for a random handful of cutlery/plates and 2 hot plates but there you go - seems to be the norm in Greek resorts.
Shower was adequate and had a wall clip which pleased me!
Pool was nice but not big and only benefitted from a window of sunshine due to the apartments on one side and a high shop building on the other.
The brothers who run the place are helpful and pleasant.
One our first stay, most of the apartments got broken into and the 'safe' in the room posed no help given they could be opened with a paperclip - useless. To add insult to injury, them police wouldn't take a report unless you paid 100 EU for an interpreter (no wonder their crime figures appear low!)
I found these apartments excellently placed but pricey for what they are. you can get a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house in Orlando for less that the price for the same period at this place - and the Orlando house is considerably more comfortable and well equipped (and has security patrols included!)
If you book this on a package holiday- you won’t go far wrong and all the venues in this resort welcome outside use of their facilities so go jump in anyone’s pool if you buy a drink at their bar! 2 places away is a glorious pool.
The beaches are a hot stroll away - nothing too clever as beaches are dirty and water cloudy.
restaurants and bars are plentiful enough and if you're young, single and want a hectic nightlife with excessive alcohol and outrageous behaviour there’s an awful report just for you a mere 3 miles away (I’m not a prude but….)


I have added a picture of their accomodation - as you'll see; pretty typical really!

Hey hey...me again ...Had some great nights here last week.  We loved the fishbowls made by the famous Kostas..better not mention the names of them on here though  and enjoyed our games of pool! Despite it being October, the bar was still busy with a great atmosphere!

 
Thanks for the drinks guys, hope you both have a well earned rest now the season is nearly over. Will miss you both lots..but will see you next year  
Speak soon,

Hey guys  

Stayed here in June, really enjoyed this hotel.
Very relaxing by the pool in the day, no worries about getting a sunbed at any time of the day.
The rooms are clean and there's lots of space...even for us 2 girls and all our stuff!
The balconies are huge...got to be the biggest in Kalamaki!!
Staff are lovely, always have time for a chat and a laugh  Dimitri....we miss our late night chats about your ventures around the world  (was great seeing you and catching up last week)
Miss u lots and see u next time!
Love Lydia + Kate x x
