Loxides Apartments - (Accommodation in Sidari)

Larry P           

I am not sure what the rep was on about but we stayed at the Loxides last year in room 102 and we have booked again this year and asked for room 102, we have also stayed in room 206 and the only difference is that the block with 206 is newer. We have never had a bad holiday at the Loxides and Yanni, Richele, Costa, Pedro and Alex are the perfect hosts, the pool is well maitained and very clean, there is a splash pool for the very young. As with many pools in Corfu there is no lifegaurd so children need to be accompanied if they cannot swim, Richele is always very chatty and friendly and works very hard to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible, Yanni will entertain you with his variety of tricks and games well into the early hours and Pedro who is now 16 mixes very well with the boys but mainly the girls and will often take the lads for a game of football and last year they all went fishing. We will be back at the Loxides in August and can't wait.

Another great holiday at the Loxides. We were in room B52 which used to be room 102, it was clean and tidy and the maid service was very good. Yanni, Richelle, Pedro and Alexis were the perfect hosts.

There is a Quiz night every Wednesday night which started on the 24th August.
The Canal d' Armour was fantastic and although the beach at Sidari could do with cleaning now and again it was still very good.
We enjoyed the meals at The Family Bar, Fagins, Mythos, Olympic and best of all Boleros.
See you again next year Loxides.

Good news Yanni and Richelle have just informed me that the Loxides will be available next year with Olympic Holidays and although at the present time the Loxides does not appear in the 2006 brochure online it will Soon.

Have been in contact with Richele and yes i'm afraid it is true, we have been going to the Loxides for many years, and to find out just before we go again that the bar area has been sub-let is disguting.

There is no more Yanni entertaining guests at night and Richele now works at Cactus Jacks I have sent an e:mail of compliant to Olympic to let them know as a regular I am not happy.
Yanni is still managing the Loxides and I have been informed that the standards of cleanliness in the bar are of a lower standard and the prices have almost doubled.
Please join me in letting Olympic know your feelings.
Will post a review when we return in August.
Have had a reply from Olympic holidays, they are going to speak to thier local office in Sidari. As of yet they have had no negative feedback concerning the new bar owners or condition of the bar area.

If you read my last 4 posts you will see how much we enjoy going to the Loxides.

We arrived back this morning 11/08/07, what a difference, we tried to inject a bit of life into the bar but out of fourteen nights we only managed this twice.

Our last week we booked as many late night trips and stayed in Sidari centre as much as we could, because the bar was so quite, Ami is a lovely girl and Nicos is trying to improve but you have to work at it you cannot leave a dirty bar counter so that when you sit down all dressed up to go out you don't get covered in a sticky mess that has been there god knows how long. I used to have a coffee most mornings until Ami overfilled the cup and wiped of the excess coffee off the cup with the dirtiest sponge I have ever seen. We refused to eat a single meal in the bar because of poor hygiene.

The Loxides itself was as good as ever, very clean and tidy rooms and we did enjoy our stay,    but the problem with the bar must be sorted before we ever return.

When we first arrived we paid 3euros for our favourite drinks which was expensive compared to the rest of Sidari and Nicos excuse that he only uses branded alcohol was a weak excuse because where ever we went we were given the same brand of red vodka as he used, the to cap it all the price went up to 3.50 euro.

Yanni, Richelle, Costa and Peter worked so hard to make the Loxides a family run and fun place to stay, I hope they get it back that way.
