Me and my mate casey are coming to the Mariana Apartments on 18th July this year... Are they really that bad???

Can somebody PLEASE tell me how far away the beach, main strip etc is??? I'm staying next door to the Oscar Hotel and all the reviews on this page tell me different things!! Is it 20mins walk? 40 mins? An hour?

We stayed at the other Mariana way out of town 45 mins along the busy noisy main road!

The Greeks are nutter drivers the road was crazy the amount of mopeds that ended up in ditches was mad! We got taxis everywhere only cos we're so lazy and we didn't wanna get run over!!

The apartments were basic but nice and clean (just a bit noisy cos of the road)and we weren't bothered by reps or anyone the whole holiday. There was no reception or anyone to tell us to turn our music down at 7am when we were dancing on the balcony which was good but if we'd have lost our key we wouldn't of known what to do...

We used the pool at the Oscar Hotel next door which was lovely and theres a lovely restaurant down the road run by a family who are so friendly and make you feel so welcome! We can't wait to go back and see them again...

We had an excellent holiday best ever... Absolutely loved Zante. The weather was gorgeous, people were friendly, clubs were great. We're definatley gonna go back in September but not at the Mariana (unless we hire a moped and bring some earplugs!)
