Hi Selly, I'm sure they do sell Bailey's but you will have to pay for it, I can't remember seeing a greek alternative with the AI drinks selection.

I would imagine that the entertainment is going to be outside, there's nowhere inside for them to hold it. It is undercover and I'm sure it'll be fine, we had friends who went out there this time last year and they had lovely weather.

Have a fab time :D

hi again, thanks for your reply with regards to drinks, does anyone know what time we have to vacate our room? We arrive at the hotel at around 6.00am on the saturday morning and fly back at 3.30am the following saturday, i wondered if as the friday is classed as our 7th day we would have to leave our rooms at 10.00am on the friday as stated in the brochure, i know this is standard practice but thought i'd ask anyway!
thanks again for the info, i'll give a full report when we get back and in the meantime will hope for good weather!

Hiya, when we were out there last year people who had late flights eg after midnight had to vacate their rooms at 10am but there is a room where you can store your luggage. If I were you I would enquire at reception about whether you can keep your room on for the day, you usually vacate it at around 6pm then but at least you can relax for the day.

hi everyone, we got back a couple of weeks ago but have been unable to access my password properly. would just like to say we had a brilliant time at this hotel and have already booked to return next year. i've posted a full review on the hotel reviews but would also like to say that we did book a late check out room whilst there and it was 35 euros which is cheaper than booking with first choice so wasn't too bad really. once again can't really fault the place. if you are going soon or early next year you'll have a whale of a time.

Hi, :wave

i have this hotle on my long short list for next summers hol

we are a family of 3 adults and 2 young girls

i was just wondering if anyone had any imformation about the large family rooms, do they have a separate bedroom? are all you all in one room? My dad is coming with us, and even though we dont intend to spend alot of time in it, a separate bedroom would be nice, i dont think i could cope with both my hubby and my dads snorring for 2 weeks, lol :yikes

also is there any nice places around to eat out, as we would still like to eat out a few times

Thanks

Shelley :D

we really enjoyed ourselves at this hotel and have already booked to return next year. as for the rooms we were in a room that slept 6 there were three double beds in the room and a brilliant sea view, really awesome, each bed was set in an alcove for extra privacy - but no soundproofing i'm afraid! We found this ok as we were just sharing with the kids, however if you have your father with you it might we worthwhile staying in two rooms, stick the kids in the room with your dad and you and hubby can always have a bit of peace and quiet then! once again the hotel was great and is really good for young kids - ours are all teens but they still enjoyed it. the only downside is the beach is very stoney so it's worth investing in some beach shoes -around 6 euros. there are several restaurants along the promenade about a 5-10 min walk can't really say the prices though as we ate in the hotel all the time. oh yeah forget to mention the inlaws came with us - both in their sixties - and they liked it so much they've booked for 10 days there next year, whereas we are only doing 7 again.

we went end of september and did find it was chilly in the el paso bar on a night as this was right next to the beach, all the entertainment is outside - other then the piano bar, although i never saw anyone play the piano! -so it is worthwhile taking a jacket or cardy but saying that daytimes were scorching.

not sure about the weather but you can check weather underground for last May if that's any help. you should have full first choice entertainment on which is the usual holiday stuff - bingo, mini disco, cabaret the odd outside act brought in, not sure if the entertainment will be running at the el paso bar in the grounds as well but worth checking it out if it is.
