the only good thing about this place is how close it is to the beach(about 30 seconds away), clean pool (although we never used it) and that the rooms (my sister and her boyfriend were staying next door)were clean and quite big, although we were lucky as both our apartments were ment for three peoples.there is also not much cutlery to do cooking with and the fridge are not fantasicly cold. we stayed in room 14 and 15 and the rear view is not great although you do get to see bananas,grapes,olives and limes growing and spot a few lizzards about, also if your in our rooms its advisable to get ant spray or powder as theres loads but once we used the stuff for 2 days it was ok.
the cleaning lady came around 10.30 - 11am but as we were on a sunbathing mission we were always up but my poor sister and her b'friend next door who was always out partying till early hours was really cheesed off, as the cleaning lady would come in and open wide the curtains,windows and doors while she spent 10 mins cleaning. you only get one toliet roll in the week and they didn't empty our bins on the last 2 days. talking about toilets leads me to the awful smell which is really bad on hot days and when it rains but its only beacuse we were right next to the drains as futher up the road its not smelly.
the beaches are not the best and they don't clean them but it is useable. think blackpool beach without the turds but with hot weather and clear sea. there is seaweed about but only at the begining of the sea and as the sea is very shallow for a long way out there's no reason for it to bother you. beware of the wasps and some are huge on the beach and although they buzz around you alot they seem to fly away at their own accord. which leads me to the other pests on the beach, you've got 2 blokes flogging cds but if you say no they leave you alone although they will ask you again the next day. then you have 'sexy donut men' they sell donuts at 3 euros - 'chocolate, strawberry or plain' and the one who wears the t shirt is nice and won't bug when you say no but the one who goes shirtless tends to get a bit abusive if no one is buying (might have something to do with his attitude). my boyfriend had a choc and plain one and said they are ok is your peckish and can't be bother to get a snack.
we ate out every night and i would defo recomend to eat at puff the magic dragon who do chinise,thai,indian and mexcian by proper chef,the food and service was excellent and the surroundings is like another place. we also went to raja's and that was also very good. for snacks we went to the kebab shop on main streched and they are excellent, the british restraunt is good for breakfast and dinner and reasonably priced. kfc and pizza hut is just like ours although don't get the salad meals from kfc as it was awful.
the best priced drinks was in jungle bar which is towards the top of the strip. its 5 euros for 2 cocktails and as they were correct measures so we found them very easy to drink but we were also pissed before we knew it. they also play a bit of everything which is a life saver since everywhere else plays r&b and i am a big fan of r&b but when you hear it all the time day and night it gets a bit much. saying that my fav bar also was tango bar which played quality r&b till 1am. my sister recommends alantis club it does get busy but beware prices are expensive (12 euros for 2 brandy and cokes) and it doesn't really get going till after 2am and is open till 6am which you'll relise anyway if your at this apartment as you can cleary hear the music. there is a good garage bar which has and excellent mc. the rolling stones bar was always packed out and open till late which also plays a varity of music.
if you walk up to the top of the road then you will find lots of bars that play films and tv comedys like friend all day and although you pay about 4 euros for a drink its well worth it to pass a few hours.
well thats it really, i also recommend getting a lilo as we were on them for hours everyday and they don't cost much and is a god send when you have spent sunbathing and want to cool down. beware of the gypsy kids who'll try and con you as sweetly as possible at night selling things and the police patrol the beach at night every 15 mins so don't get caught with your knickers or pants down. take extra bog roll in your bag if you don't want to get caught out as it always runs out and take mozzie replent as they are little f**kers for biting at night.
so i hope i've given you a insite of kavos for a hoilday and that you have a top time.
I loved the jungle bar as not only was it cheap - 5 euros for 2 coctails but they were also drinkable. We went in every night but used it as a starting point and since it is at the begining of the streched it ment you could start to get pissed but hold a coverstation as well. The bar man was great and always had a smile for us. They played a bit of everything and although it was never really packed when we wre in there we never felt out of place.
Another fave place of mine while on hoilday as not only did i get to dance all night to the amusment of my boyfirend, sister and her boyfiend on stage but i love the music. I only went in a couple of times but loved it each time. I can't remeber much about the drinks as i was always pissed but they must have been good as never complained about it. You do get your posers but all in good fun and Its nice on the outside as well as in. would recommend to anyone who loves r&b.
