Sea Scape Apartments
(Apartments in Ipsos)
 | 6/10 |
|
We have just returned from our stay at Sea Scape and Ipsos.
Michael and his daughter are fab people, as well as Mama and George of course. Very helpful and friendly people. We was made very welcome, my neice and nephew was well taken by them all, they knew there names and really did look after us which makes such a change. The "closeness" of knowing them instead of being someone behind a reception desk was a nice change.
The italians spoit our first week (never go during August as know as Italian month - your warned !!!!)
Unfortunately our stay and the stay of other guests was not brilliant -
Apartments very dirty and in need of some major mainanence (we had moled and electric wires in kitchen, bathroom filthy, couldnt use shower as was held up with cellotape !!! and no waredrobe space for one never mind 6 people etc). The pool was dirty when we arrived and was the same for the first four days. Lost all sorts in the pool as couldnt see bottom, though this was fixed eventually.
We was under the impression that the area was suitable for children, but there was very very little for them to do. Saying that though we was never bored.
The location is pretty good, just the road straight outside is very busy - due to the italians though
There is a resaurant called the drop in up the hill but well worth the small trek - fantastic food and service.
We had wonderful company there at the same time as us who had been going since it opened and they really made our holiday - brilliant company and a really good laugh.

 Returned 20th August after 2 weeks at Seascape. Absolutely fantastic, even though we were on the road side. Room was very spacious for 2 adults and a 12 year old. The maid was very friendly and the rooms were cleaned regularly. George and Mike were great hosts, the weekly barbecue was exceptional, with the best home made burgers ever tasted!
What a great position for the pool and bar, some wonderful photos to show everyone how lovely it is.
We paid an extra 20 Euros do extend our stay in the room until 12.30 (midnight), George actually left at 1.45am, with his Mum and the maid still there when we left at 2, and they were still just as charming as they had been all fortnight.
Would highly recommend Seascape. Try the website Angela has suggested, unfortunately everytime I now try to get my daily dose of it, my computer crashes!
By the way, try The Viceroy Indian restaurant if you want a fantastic curry for a change, Chrissy and Bryn will give you a very warm welcome!

Hi Julie,
We go out on the night of 15th, cant wait. Cj is 6 now I think, crap with birthdays and ages and Dania is 8 or 9. We are just waiting for our lottery win so we can move out there, got to have a dream!!!! We will probabley be back out again late May or early June next year.
You should check out www.agni.gr, great site, seems us Seascapers are growing in numbers, which is good and bad, good for business but bad for us that want to return!!!We try and get out there twice a year, so far so good, may try and go in July next year as the weather in June this year was abismall.

Hi Julie, Yes back out next month for 2 weeks, cant wait, we try and go twice a year and then have a poor christmas, LOL. I love to take bits out for George and Rhonda's children, they like to give a list bless, but next month will be empty handed unless I spot something. Its Bianca's turn, sent some toys in the post, squeaky noisy ones, but she is scared if the squeak so Micky has taken them out, got her a rubber chicken. You may have seen Bianca and I lizard hunting, its her favourite pastime.
We usually go to Moby Dicks if George is not inventing in the kitchen. Maybe one day we will meet up.

 Rachel, i can only add to what Angela said, we was a party of 10 staying at the seascape apartments for the first time last year, (12 years of age to 67 years), but our 2nd time to Ipsos, and believe me the standard of accommodation is a lot lot better than a lot of greek apartments/hotels, you are lucky if you get a shower cubicle, let alone a shower tray in some apartments it is grills in the bathroom floor!!!!! whilst we were there the owners were extremely curtious and i am sure if you had mentioned to george or mike they would have got you a bath mat, unfortunately for us my mum was poorly whilst away & george and his wife rhonda did all they could to make sure mum was comfortable and that the rest of us had a good time. These are very popular apartments and they are fully booked for the whole of 2006, i used to work in travel and what Angela said is true the amount the hotel/apartment owners receive from the tour operators is approx 10% of your total holiday bill. | ||||||||||

Rachel, sorry to hear your holiday was ruined by not having a bath mat!!!! But if that was the only bad thing then it can't have been all bad.
The accomodation, package holiday companys use is soooo basic, this is due to the crap price that the tour operators pay, it averages about 8-9 Euros, per bed per night, so a 2 week holiday for us can costs us anywhere between £300-£700, out of that the accomadation owners get roughly £70, for 2 weeks!!!! They do not get an increased rate in the peak of the season like we get charged. So please do not expect the Ritz. SEASCAPE are the best that Olympic have to offer and in my view they are way above the standard of most othe accomadations in the area, for what you pay.

We stayed here for one week in may, as party of seven varying in age. We only saw the maid once, and that was on the first day.
There was no bath mats in the bathroom. location of the apartments is good
When we went the resort was only just opening after the winter months, so there was not too much going on at night. Although we did have some good meals out at night especially at the Stathis restuarant and ripped off at the old tree pub. | ||||||||||

We had a great time, George and his family are the nicest of people. They made our holiday great. We are hoping to go again next year as the apartments and the location are great. The food everywhere is very good to the point i gained nearly a stone in two weeks.
The view from our room was great as you can see.
Can't wait to go back! Diane and Matt | ||||||||||

What can i say. We have been going to the seacape since it openend, The appartments are funtastic, very claen in a great position to all of Pirgi and Ipsos. The view is outstanding and believe me you couldn't wish to stop in a better place in corfu. Yes they do have kettles, but if there isn't anything you reqire in the rooms then just ask George or micky cause they'll only be happy to help.
The family that run it have become very good friends of ours, we have been going since 1993, and Rhonda, George's wife as become my best friend. It is a very family run and they all such very special people to us.
You will have a fab hol in Ipsos but if you stay at the seascape i know you will want to come back year after year.
Thanks guys yet again your hospialilty is above waht anyone could wish for.
Love ya guys

| I am staying at Seascape Apartments Ipsos for a week from 16th June and I wonder if you could tell me if there are kettles in the apartments. I know this sounds crazy but it would spoil my holiday without it,and I can take my own if necessary. The telephone number would be good if you dont have this info, Thanks | |
