We stayed from 2 May to 9 May 2004. The Alikanas Beach Studios are well equipped, spacious and comfortable. Every apartment has a private balcony, and the furniture and fittings in the apartments all appear new. They are kept impeccably clean (cleaned daily) by the hardworking staff. The studios are right on the beach, and restaurants and shops are within five minutes easy walking distance.The beach outside the resort is clean, with fine sand and crystal clear water. The resort really is perfect, except for one thing: NOISE. They have a built a bar in the centre of this U shaped resort, which obscures the seaviews of most first and second floor apartments. You won't miss the views because during your holiday you will probably endeavour to spend as much time away from this noisy resort as you can. From 4 or 5 pm onwards you get to listen to a thumping dance beat coming from the bar - but wait - it gets worse. Every Tuesday and Friday they have karaoke - which is fun for the 5 or 10 people in the bar but torture for everyone else. On the first Tuesday night we heard this hideous screaming coming from the bar at about 12.30am and to our horror it was the Kosmar rep (I believe she was trying to sing). They claim to have soundproof glass in the rooms, however this doesn't work - you can't hear your TV over the noise. They do sell earplugs at Katastari, a village which is about 20 - 25 mins away - believe me you will need them.
Don't let this put you off going to Alykanas, it is really beautiful and peaceful with lovely beaches. If you live and breathe karaoke this is probably the resort for you, however if you are after peace and quiet and relaxing evenings listening to the sounds of the sea, stay somewhere else in Alykanas.

Excellent is an understatement. There is some good food on offer in Alykanas, however this restaurant really stands out. We ate there five times in one week. Two people can eat and drink excessively for 25 to 40 euros.
