We stayed twice at Cavo Doro last year, firstly in May, none-the-wiser booked a studio..it was pretty basic, with hardly enough room to swing a kitten, let alone a cat!

Furnishings were shoddy and the fridge was growing things in it. The loo didnt flush, and after several visits from the maintenance man, who was sweet but spoke and understood very limited english and shrugged a lot, problem was resolved...

We were promised a fan in our room, which was missing..we kicked up and one was provided, which only worked when a large hardback novel was propped between the bed and the plug to secure it in the wall socket!!

Our terrace wasnt the best place to relax,it was quite noisy as it was overlookin the main walkway through the hotel gardens leading from hotel bar & chives restaurant towards the pool and newer 1 bed apartment block.

Accomadation aside, we received a very warm welcome from the crew at Cavo, mentioning Akis & Georgie at the hotel bar, and especially Harry & George at the Pool bar, where we ended up sampling the culinary delights of Dimitri the chef for the majority of our stay..there is a varied and delicious evening menu with value for money possibly the best on the island! Try it...

Which brings me to to our later stay in early October, we booked direct and were allocated a one bed apt in the new block.. what an improvement! We even had a dining table in the kitchenette area! New fridge and furniture, comfy sofa and plenty of room to manoeuvre.. plus a fabulous sea view, (if u ask 4 it..higher floor, sea view)

Everyone remembered us, and there were hugs and kisses a plenty! It felt just like coming home...we're going to Turkey in June, but are definately booking 4 Cavo in September.. see y'all out there!

Lisa, we had a fridge in our room, but then again we booked with airtours on a self catering basis, maybe if you take the b&b option you presumably dont get one..?

Chris, have a good one... hopefully see ya in Sept?

As for the Bluebirds... we got there, after a fight, admitted, but fair n square.. good luck to your boys next season...
