This hotel is way to far out for anyone to enjoy!! It is up the steapest hill ever and it was horrible to walk up it the blazing heat with heavy water and shopping etc, Taxi costs were expensive, it costs 7 euro to the bottom of the hill which isn't far but to much to walk. if you obviously get a taxi out and a taxi back that is 14 euros a day, over 7 day's it works out that you fork out just over

if you are planning to stay at this hotel bring loads of money for taxis because its miles from the town and in the middle of nowhere. your cant play music in your rooms, you cant play any sort of ball games in the pool. the pool snack bar was very expensive, and the food would always come out cold. the rooms didnt get cleaned once in the week we was there and there was ants everywhhere. i wouldnt recommend this resort to anyone.....

This hotel is NOT for anyone over the age of about 25! Although it isnt a 2wenties resort, it may aswell be. The reps are heatwave reps which are joint with twenties and all excersions offered are with 2wenties! I didnt see anyone older than about 25 when I went. Although it is a walk to the strip its worth it, you can chill out in the day, and sleep without all the noise going on on the strip! You dont need to get a taxi down there but you will want to when going home at night, its only 4 euros and split between 4 of you its basically nothing!

rooms were great and spacious and wer kept very clean by the stff in the hotel!! onli down side to it was the bar prices as i they wer much dearer than down on the strip..however fantastic place to chill out during the day!! up a hill which may b off putting at first you will soon realise that it is an ideal location away from the strip by ten minute walk...but during the day no hassel just chilled out so you can recopup yourself for the next night!!!

When we first arrived our lock on the door was broken for 2 days! Staff were unhelpful in helping with this matter, staff behind bar are mardy about young people staying and making noise even though 95% of the custom are under 25. Meals from the bar were terrible and staff regualry tried to shortchange us.

Staff were constantly looking for damages in the room to charge us extra money for. The hotel is situated in the middle of nowhere which seems like miles after a nightout.

Stayed for two weeks in August 2006. Hotel very good but definately NOT for young people, definitely for families.

The host Koula was excellent and very helpful at all times with a personal touch. The prices of food in and around the pool area were very steep, packet of crisps at nearby supermarket were 1:20 euros yet at the hotel were 3:50 !! - big increase so be aware.

Rooms were basic but wot do you expect over there, heat was supressive at times especially with no breeze. Goats and Olive tree insects could be annoying.

The walk from the hotel to the top of the strip is fifteen minutes, downhill and then a long uphill on the way back but quicker to go down to Stalis and walk along the road to the strip.

Lush bread to be had just 100 yards down that hill at the bakers, gemini supermarket dearer but at least with a part smile from staff. The big supermarket are full of miserable baskets who seem to resent the Brits.

We visited this hotel in July 2006 it has been the best holiday I have ever been on.

The staff are very friendly and the service is great.

The room was great to it was very spacious and was very clean but the shower needs a new shower curtain ha ha.

I would tell people to visit the hotel the only problem is that it is in the mountains with the goats and its about a 20 minute walk to the top of the main strip.

The rooms are very dissappointing, very basic not like the pictures we looked at in the brochures. 3 of our party got squeezed into a room you couldn't swing a cat in. Don't expect to get any sleep as the walls are paper thin and guest like to balcony hop.

George the owner threatened to kick us out on the first night for making noise (we weren't!) I know a lot of people who were threatened with this same treatment for no apparent reason. I don't expect to pay nearly

I stayed at these apartments in May 2005 with two friends - all of us "over 40 females".
The room we had was basic but all the essential things were there - with the exception of a toaster.

We arrived at 5am and were given the keys to our room straight away, which was great as we wanted to get some sleep.

At about 1pm we ventured up to the reception and pool area, we were met by KOULA - the manageress - What a welcome ! It was as if we were long lost friends.

We enquired where the local shop was, which was a 15 min walk down the hill, Koula told us to leave any heavy shopping there and she would drive down to collect it for us on our return - how nice is that !

The food available at the poolside bar, was reasonable and there was plenty of choice - we sampled the "full breakfast" once but as we were self catering we had no need to eat there - plenty of the other guest ate there every day and I didnt hear any complaints.

It was open from 10am until the last person leaves, food and drinks available at any time. The staff were very friendly and polite and mady you feel so welcome.

The other residents were really nice, ALL ages, one elderly couple had been coming here for 8 years and would not dream of going anywhere else !

There was, however ONE that did spoil things - a female in her 50's, she obviously had a drink problem and liked the sound of her own voice - the first night she kept people awake with loud music till 3am, she was told by Koula that if it happened again, she would be out, the following night, it happened again and Koula "laid in wait" for her, she was told to leave but after a load of "tears" and "sorry's", she was given one more chance - and we did not hear her again, or see very much of her either! -

So if you are looking to live it up and make a lot of noise - you can expect to be looking for alternative accommodation.

The brouchure was "spot on" - it was fabulous - the location was off the beaten track and SO peaceful it was perfect, the pool was kept spotlessly clean.

Malia was about a 15min walk down the hill (not suitable for high heels), there is a vast amount of restaurants to choose from.We ate at a different one every night, and to work the food off, we even walked back!

Malia its self was MANIC - the hot spot is THE STRIP, went there on the first night and that was MORE than enough enough. The OLD TOWN is wonderful, thats where you will find the tavernas and restaurants - you are spoilt for choice.

Stallis is also about a 15 - 20min walk, its not as crazy as Malia and there are loads of restaurants to choose from too.

Koula does a BBQ night once a week - this is NOT to be missed. This was on our last night and it was FANTASTIC, the food was wonderful and SO MUCH of it, I think we paid 15euros, it was excellent value.

We would definatley go there again and reccommend it -if you want a quiet relaxing holiday this is the place to be. The night life is not too far away if you want to live it up a little - so you have the best of both worlds!

Mare Monte studios is situated on a hill top in a secluded area away from night life so this insures you to a good nights sleep.
You have a wonderful view of the sea an always get to enjoy a suttle brezze! The local shop is a 15 min walk so its best to hire transport.

The bar staff make you feel very welcomed and offer an exciting range of food. You can change your money up there aswell. Its a family run place so you may feel more secure as its a trust worthy stay.
I stayed there for two weeks and didnt want to come back. I'm going back next year!!!!
