This was our second visit to the Matina and I'm sure we will return.

The whole complex is spotless and maid service is 6 times per week. We ate at the pool bar a few times although not for our main meal, and we found it to be fine; toasties, salads burgers, etc.

The staff are fantastic especially Manolis and Stergo behind the bar. You must stay here if you have kids, they will love it. There's the pool, a playground which is shaded, a games room and an area of grass where our boys played football.

Our only complaint is that the air conditioning costs around

What can I say that hasn't already been said!!

If you have booked a holiday here......CONGRATULATIONS!! These apartments were fantastic.

The location was superb, right next to the beach and in close proximity to the centre of the resort.

We stayed in a superior 1 bed apartment and it was huge!! It had all the mod cons....Fridge freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, tv( bloomberg, BBC PRIME, etc), hairdryer. They had mosquito plugins in the rooms as well. Cleaners were in 6 days a week and apartment were always clean.

Air con is expensive, but worth it. In a studio, you have one unit (5 euros per night), I bed apt have 2 units (10 euros per night). Safety deposit box was about 10 euros for a fortnight with a 30 euro refundable deposit.

The bar staff were terrific (Stergos and Mr. Manoli esp.) Food at the snack bar was really good with great sized portions.Good value for money....

We were always able to get sunbeds at the pool and the pool was very child friendly.

Kids playpark is right beside the pool and snackbar and is under cover (also well lit at night).

Entertainment was good with a couple of Karaoke nights, party night, quiz night, greek night (fabulous and good value- plenty food and dancing.

There is a good games room for kids and adults with ping pong, pool tables, air hockey, table football, etc (air conditioned as well).

Reception staff were always helpful and friendly and there is another bar there with internet access etc. More quiet with comfy sofas etc. ( go up to roof terrace above reception to watch sunset!!!).

Kids club was fantastic too. Charlotte (we miss you,esp Ross), Faye and Claire really take care of the kids and the kids loved them. Not forgetting Nick the Direct rep, very knowledgable of the area and always helpful.

Cannot fault this place!! Wanna go back!! It would amaze you how many people return here year after year...We will be back next year.

We've just returned from a 2 week holiday at the Matina and it was definitely what we expected from reading all of the excellent reports.

When we arrived the first thing we thought was how much smaller the hotel looks in the brochure, it really wasn't as small as we imagined.

We had a studio apartment with a pool and sea view which was always kept clean with the maids coming 6 times per week and linen changed twice per week.

There were always sunbeds available when we got up at 9am.

Air conditioning cost us 30 euros deposit and 70 euros for the 2 weeks we were there and it was definitely needed! The deposit for the air conditioning also covered the safe deposit which was 10 euros for 2 weeks. The safety deposit boxes are in main reception.

It's really cheap to use the telephone in reception (2 euros is about 3 and a half-4 mins) but if you phone from your room it's 1 euro per min.

The Istros Cafe Bar in reception is cheap! Much cheaper than the bar at the poolside. A Jack Daniel's and coke cost us 1 euro 50 cents one night! And the measurements aren't the smallest!

The hotel food was always nice although we didn't eat there in the night as there were plenty of options on Pefkos main street.

The beach is literally a 30 second walk away from the hotel. When we first read the reports we thought it couldn't be that close but it is. 2 sunbeds and an umbrella will cost you 8 euros per day but the beach is lovely.

The main street is a 10 minute walk away from the main street which is packed full of shops, bars and restaurants.
The hotel staff were all really friendly.

The two barmen Stellios and Manoli were our favourites! They managed to remember everyone's names and talk to you without you feeling like they were just being polite. They are always looking for new CD's to play by the pool in the daytime so if you go take some copies for them to keep and to avoid hearing the same music day after day.

There was something to do in the hotel every night except a Wednesday. The Sunday night Greek BBQ and dance night was not really our best night there. The reps have a party night on Friday which both kids and adults get involved in. It's good. Monday night is the quiz night which 6 of us won and got very drunk on a lethal cocktail bowl thanks to Manoli! There is karaoke night too.

Overall, our holiday was fantastic and we would definitely return to the Matina.

We visited the Matina Apartments in May 2005 for the first time and we really enjoyed our stay. We read some reviews before going and I can say, it did live up to what we expected.

We stayed in a 1 Bedroom Superior Apt and if you can get one of them I recommend you do. The balcony is very big with 2 sun lounges and table and 4 chairs. This will sleep up to 4 but we stayed with just the 2 of us and had plenty of room.

The apartments themselves were very clean and modern. And the grounds of the place are also very clean and tidy. Inc bar, pool and games room.

This is the second year we have had our holiday at the Matina apartments in Pefkos. Both times were brilliant. We are even thinking about a third!!

Staff really make you feel welcome, even the maids. Everyone is extremely friendly.

The Dolphin club for the kids is a must, although our girls Amy 8 and Morgan 6 felt they were a wee bit too old for it as the kids were quite young. Food at the bar is fab and cheap.

The resort is perfect for safety and relaxing. The only place where we didn't have to worry about anything!!
Would recommend this to any family.

Excellent location and facilities.

Spacious apartment. Very clean. Bathroom wonderful...enormous mirror/vanity unit, bath with shower and shower curtain. Kitchen had two electric rings plus electric kettle and toaster, fridge. Very well maintained.

Balcony quite small but had sea view so didn't worry.

Literally 1 minute from the beach and very central to the town. I should imagine in height of summer you would need airconditioning..(which was expensive). It was very hot some nights when we were there and the only ventilation is the french doors out onto the balcony- which you couldn't really leave open all night for security reasons.

We never stayed around the hotel so cannot really comment on entertainment - but those that did stay on site seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Would not hesitate staying here again. Last minute booking and landed on our feet!

Matina apartments complex well laid out approx 1 minutes gentle stroll down to the beach.

Apartment cleaned and beds made 6 days per week.

Second year would definitely go back again.

Pool clean and safe.

On site games room ideal for kids.

Staff helpful and friendly.

The Matina's apartments were very clean.

The food was okay although the times we ate there was when it was traditional Greek food they were serving, if you like Greek food then I'm sure it would be great but it was not our thing!

The location was great it was only a short walk of literally 1 minute to the beach (downhill).

The staff were excellent, especially Stefanos! who I loved (Rachel!) The other staff were great too. One night I was even behind the bar serving, they were so easy going and fun to be around.

The entertainment was alright, but it was very quiet and as it was situated very near the beach out of all the biz there was not many people there at night. The bar shut at 1am so if you wanted to stay up you had to go to your room!!

This was our forth visit to Matina in Pefkos, only this time we had my sisters and their kids join us. Once again we werent dissapointed.

Excellent Dolphin club crew, they were brilliant with the kids, which made us adults enjoy our stay very much. The staff worked long hours, especially our friend Minolis who worked the bar day and night, he never forgot to put a smile on his face mind and always made us very wecome.

Hoping to return again this year with all the family,so keep up the good work..............thankyou.
