Not King minos's palace but a nice family resort - Camari Gardens

Advantages: Reasonably priced, clean, accom, two pools, free sunbeds, free internet
Disadvantages: A bit quiet for tennagers and certainly not clubs and bars bearby if you like that

WHERE IS THIS PLACE? Camari Gardens hotel apartments are situated in Gerani, near Rethymnon in Crete. This is a smallish family run resort with just 65 apartments and studios with 2 pools, a small playground, restaurant, reception/meeting area with book exchange library and a few electronic games and computers, a laundry, a small supermarket set in pleasant gardens overlooking the sea. http://www.camarigarden.com/main.aspx?lanid=English&pageid=Home ...
...through Thomas Cook holidays but prior to booking I read a lot of reviews on Tripadvisor. There were no really unfavourable comments about this resort and the vast majority were really positive so I chose this place on that basis. The holiday was a package including flights from East Midlands and transfers from Heraklion to the resort. In this review I will only concentrate on the resort rather than the Thomas Cook/ Airtours package (that is another ...

Review of Camari Garden Hotel Apartments, Gerani

Lazy days at the Olvie Press Hotel, Lesvos.

Advantages: No mosquitoes on Lesvos, just very nice people at The Olive Press Hotel.
Disadvantages: About a 2 hour transfer fron airport to resort, but a great journey.

...in sunshine, staying at The Olive Press Hotel in Molyvos, which is the north of the island. The great thing about the island is that there are no mosquitoes…………….. The Olive Press Hotel, is set right on the edge of the sea, in fact the sea laps against one side of the hotel at night, which four elderly visitors had to complain about if only to us. When we booked the resort and the hotel we where asked if we wanted a sea vies, a balcony or no preference, ...
...by the owner of the Olive Press and this is closed for the duration of the season, so no noise. I read in the First Choice brochure that the rooms where small and we where not disappointed when we arrived to be shown to our room and it was on the small side, but very adequate for our needs. We had in the room a built in wardrobe, a small fridge, dressing table with stool, low table to put your cases on and a chair, plus two bedside tables so really ...

Review of Olive Press Hotel, Lesvos Greece

Blessed location, bad administration

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Expensive, poor service, aging facilities

We stayed with our six-month old baby in August 2009 in a sea view bungalow. We booked in the hope that we could relax for a week, but this was not to be. We had a series of problems such as a non-functioning mini bar (despite our repeated requests it was never seen to.) Also our room was not cleaned even though we reminded them of it, and when they did they forgot to replace the towels. The worst part is that often on the weekends the restaurant ...
...for wedding parties and our weekend there was no exception. Even though they knew that we had a baby they never warned us about this (our room was 20 meters from the restaurant). Our repeated requests to the duty manager left us with vague replies that 'it will soon end' and this went on until 04:00 am. So, two consecutive nights with a restless baby and taut nerves. Take this into consideration as it can ruin your weekend - you can forget about ...

Review of Hotel Summery, Lixoúrion

A real diamond of a find

Advantages: Tranquil and friendly. Family run. Great small bar to socialise.
Disadvantages: No swimming pool.

The George Hotel in lovely tranquil resort of Golden Beach in Thassos was a real diamond of a find. It is a small hotel located about 8 minutes walk from the glorious sandy beach of the resort. The nearest taverna and mini market are a 4 minutes stroll. The hotel is family run and the proprietors make you feel more like friends than guests. Nothing seems to much trouble for them The rooms are simple furnished but very pleasant with comfortable beds. ...
...your room except to sleep. A nice bathroom- Greek Style-. No swimming pool very feel accommodations have one in this resort as the wonderful beach is the main attraction. there is a bar in the hotel where the majority of guests congregate after a night out and is friendly as the proprietors mingle with the guests a great way to finish the day. The breakfast is basic but OK. A small book exchange library is available for guests. The hotel and resort ...
