The hotel didn't have a reception, the saftey deposit boxes looked as
though anyone could break into them easliy, the rooms were tiny, there
was no eating area and the shower door kept falling off.
When we complained to the rep, she told us to 'have a drink and cheer
up' She was really unprofessional and sat around all day taking
advantage of her free cans of dr pepper. When someone we knew
asked her where their main office was on the island she got scared and
asked him if he was some sort of spy. She also told us that reps
were badly paid and if we had any leftover showgel or shampoo could we
leave it at the pool bar for her.
A couple who were staying in the apartments left their luggage,
passports, plane tickets and money in the luggage room. When they
went back a few hours later it had all been stolen. They had no
way to get home and no money. The rep didn't seem bothered at all
and told them to get a taxi to the police station, explain their story
(which could have taken up to 2 hours) then get a taxi to the
airport. If they did that they would have missed their
flight. So somehow they managed to get home without passports or
tickets.
If you have booked to stay in the Zeus studios, make sure you don't
leave anything in the luggage room. Hide it behind the sofa in the
lounge thingy upstairs.
Places to go:
Dirty Nellies - excellent entertainment, great atmosphere.
The cockrel bar - its owned by an English couple and is a perfect place to stop for a few drinks on the way home.
El Grecko's - fantastic food. best in Ipsos
The hairy lemon - good food (just don't get the lasagne)
The takeaway near the cockrel bar does a gorgeous chicken kebab (they call it chicken souvalaki) You must try it!
Also, the first bar you come to when walking from the appartments towards the strip is nice, the owner is REALLY friendly.
Tzatziki is also gorgeous, the best food I tried while I was there. You get loads of it with your meal in El Greako's.
also, stay away from the hypnotist in the temple bar if you have teenagers with you, he's p**vy!
russels bar is also great for food and drinks
