no problem, enjoy.

Ponsetta,
Arrived back from Rhodes yesterday, stayed at Barbie Studios and Apartments--Room:205--1 bedroom apartment. Apartment was more than big enough for two of us even if it felt funny to enter your apartment through the bedroom!!
The block we were in was the newer block across the road from the Reception and Poolside block. It sure was quiet in our block because all the action takes place across the road!
Balcony was welcome even if view was of building next door--as I say its not our usual view--so its not bad.
Vangelis and Barbara could not have been more accomodating and nothing was too much trouble--supplied us with a meal at 10.45pm G.T. on our arrival!! Both or one nearly always available.
Great mix of English, Northern Ireland and Dutch and everyone got on v well until last few days( more later). It was lovely to sit with a beer (Barbies prices the best in town) and chat till you fell asleep(well nearly!).
Poolside was bit small and eventually ran out of sunbeds. This is the more later bit. Some new arrivals complained that sunbeds were being reserved, the usual continental problem!!-towels on sunbeds!! Richard the rep. informed me that Vangelis was going to stop the reserving of sunbeds--some of which would lie unused for 4/5 hours--patently unfair!!
Beach was v stony-you had to hire a sunbed(3$ a day) v comfortable and we regularily fell asleep on them-be warned! Advise you to buy water shoes, because of pebbles, but wait until you get there as only 5.50 a pair--shop around.
Will come back at later stage with Part 2.
Patrick.

Ponsetta,
Sorry about delay in getting back.
Trianda has a good selection of restaurants. Amongst our favourites were:
Platon--gorgeous Sea Bass!, La Serra- kleftico was v good, Knights of Old-- alround excellent and very family friendy and relaxed. There are countless other restaurants and we tried several but the above were our favourites. Without a doubt our worse experience was the Greek Restaurant with live music! We didn't even wait for the music, food not good! Didn't try the bars not our scene--the Yorkshire was soooo loud!!
You will have no problem with the two bed apartment. We were in two of them and except for slightly small bathroom you will have lots of room. The bedrooms were enourmous, only drawback is that you may not find the cooking facilities too good!--eat out!! Good luck with the poolside and say Hello to Vangelis and Barbara from Patrick(Everton fan) and Annette(London). Enjoy and I feel sure you will! If not don't blame the messenger!

Thanks Patrick, i'm sure we will enjoy.
Best Wishes
Ponsetta
p.s wil pass on you're regards
