hi all
ref the palm gardens ,,,yes they are clean and the pool is ace andin agood location ..but if you dont like britty hotels and getting woken up at 3 or 4 in the morning by noisy drunks in the hotel bar and their kids running around the pool at the same time forget it .We,ve been twice the first year it opened it was ok and it was new the second year it had changed.You were shunned by some of the staff if you didnt eat or drink in the hotel and it got really clique so much so that we actually felt uncomfortable.We wont go again and there were other people who felt the same who also went the first year.Icmeler is great and we wouldnt let anything spoil our holidays there as we too consider it our second home but the palm gardens is not for us .I hope you like it and enjoy your holiday liverbird really i do but this is only my opinion you can make your own
good journeys mick andrea and kids

Thanks for your comments, I wont be to happy if i get woken up at 4 in the morning, but then once my head hits the pillow nothing normally wakes me up. We went to a complex in corfu that was a bit the same, the owners only made an effort if you spent money constanly up the bar or in the restuarant, this year in Zante was very different we did spend quite a bit of money up the bar as we made some really good friends. Oh well if it get's to bad then I wont be worried about complaining. :D

has anyone tried the breakfasts here?

are they good, how much do they cost?

i would prefer a mountain view, does anyone know if these apartments are away from the bar area?

thanks.

Yes We did try the breakfasts,
Turkish Breakfasts 5YTL and ok. Olives,bread,boiled egg,jam,honey,salami and cheese.

Full English 3.5 YTL all the usual stuff.

Personally we didn't have breakfast there, we prefered to have breakfast in the Cafe Anne over the road from the Anatolian restaurant. It was better value and better quality.
Most days we got a few croissants and bread from the shop round the corner.

ahh that's a shame, normally we go at the begin of Aug but next year for some reason it worked out cheaper to go later. It would have been nice to meet up, this year I was chating to a girl on the Zante forum and we met up with her and her family and had a fantastic time with them. They are trying to get the same week as us to go to Turkey. You will have to let us know what it's like - keep fingers crossed it's all great :D :D

captain ali purchased a vehicle last summer so he could do transfers etc. we used icmeler online for our transfer last summer,this year it is £90 return Ali charges about £50 each way.
We used it because two summers ago it took about 3 and half hours for transfer,by private transfer it is max 1 and half.
Somebody on previous page did it inbound then used first choice going back.
if you leave a p.m. i have the phone number somewhere,but at this time of year dont think they will be about at the complex.
you will enjoy the palm gardens a very good choice

briliant, thanks...........i may well just go with icmeler online if i cant get hold of the boss man.

Hi K&R if you read my review in the review section, Ali has an email address, drop him a line and you can arrange the transfer that way. he was really good, and it only took just over an hour.

Hi K&R we have spoken before on another post,we are on same flight and same apt's, I too dont fancy the long journey by coach, I also tried to contact Ali by e-mail twice but got no reply. If you do manage to get in touch with him will you pm me and let me know. Maybe we could arrange somthing between us. There will be 3 of us, how many of you? Lynne

Hi Lynne the apps will be closed at the moment so you need to start contacting them early season. They were pretty prompt in replying to me.
