I Have just read Andrea Walker's comments (October 13, 2004) with great interest as my
wife and I experienced the exact same thing at Bougainvellea and we thought it was just
us. We had a nice welcome and then were blanked for the rest of the week. We had the
impression the owners weren’t interested in the hotel at all and as we didn’t use the
restaurant that much their attitude completely changed making our stay as unwelcome as
possible.
Our apartment was big but in the basement and was very damp, the maid didn’t go near
our room to empty bins (important in Greece) or change towels for 3 days. The only time
she did go near our room was to open windows obviously knowing how damp our room
was. If anything wasn’t damp at the start it was after being in the room for a few hours.
As we didn’t have a balcony but only a small area in the shade by the door we had no
dry clothes after a few days.
We also realised that as we didn’t use the restaurant we weren’t welcome by the
pool,conveniently closing it early when we went to use it and making us feel unwelcome
when we did get the chance to go in.
We were both so shocked that hotel owners treated their guests like this – when we
left they hardly said a word to us.
Put it this way we got a better welcome from the Chickens outside each day.

As Gerry Slawson (November 19, 2004) has pointed out some people are missing the point. Yiannis isn't making money out of the hotel and only out of his restaurant, this is obvious. He doesn't like the fact that people from the UK have cheap package holidays and he makes sure you know it. Gwyneth Williams (November 24, 2004) said she was surprised by the negative comments but she is also missing the point, she says "we actually ate there 5 times" that is why Yiannis treated you differently, if you aren't seen eating there he makes sure all his staff make you as unwelcome as possible which is a strange way to run a hotel and not much fun if you are trying to enjoy a holiday. I would like to think that these comments do put people off staying there so they would give their money to someone who might actually appreciate it.
