Have been looking at the Beach House II in Manos for this July. The brochure says you need a torch when returning in the dark, is this true? Also how far is it from the resort centre? The map in the brochure shows it at the far end of the salt flats is that correct?

Palm Tree II is an excellent place to have some great food, chill out and relax. There are seats under cover if you want to get out of the sun or you an sit in the garden with a beer and take up some rays. Lisa and Sakis are great, so are the kids, miss you all and see you in July.

We stayed last May and I used my own hairdryer and travel kettle without being charged. Our apartment was spacious and clean the only drawback being that it was under the hotel and had no windows, except the one in the door, or air con. We had asked for a pool view and balcony!! There are also peacocks in the olive grove behind the hotel which are very noisy day and night. The beach is sandy with a small strip of pebbles just as you go in the water. It is great for kids as the sea is really shallow for a long way out.There are 3 pools at Koukanaria, a kids pool, a jacuzzi pool (which is disappointing) and the main pool which is great.

We were very disappointed with Dionysos this year, last year we went three times and we rated it our favourite place to eat in both Alykes and Alikanas, this year it was a different story the service was poor and the food was terrible. I ordered saganaki and when it came I couldn't get my knife or fork into it and sent it back, my friend ordered a medium steak which was really well done and she had trouble cutting it, my fiorentina pizza was drowned in salty sliced olives which made it impossible to eat and the egg was raw, the lemon chicken hadn't seem a lemon and came in a brandy/creamy sauce. Sakis did give us a voucher for 20€ off our next visit but we didn't risk being disappointed again.

Would recommend the piccadilly, food was great and there was a good selection of vegetarian, not just vine leaves stuffed toms and peppers!, the prices are really reasonable, I think it was one of the cheapest places we ate and the portions are good.

We have just stayed in Pothos for 2 weeks, the apartment was clean and spacious. The down side was it was an apartment for three but only had 2 of everything, cups/chairs/plates/bowls/glasses etc. We hadn't booked to stay here as we wanted to be on the beach but Manos changed our accommodation and although it is a bit of a walk into the main part of Alykes, especially with a 5 year old, we were happy. The pool is great and the bar serves good food and drink at very reasonable prices. Dennis and Dimitris will do anything they can to make your stay a good one.
