Keys were hanging out the doors so we let ourselves in to be bowled over by the smell of drains, and by the way, we seem to be in a block next door to the Akis....thinking it was the wrong place we went to the Bar and we were told if it smells try number 11, it not only smelt, the bathroom flooded when you turned the shower on and No 11 smelt no better.  We asked to be moved to the pool area but were told it didn't belong to Kosmar!  More Brits got off another  bus at the bottom of the lane and they were just as disappointed as we were!    We all complained again and were given keys to choose a room in the older block of the complex, apparently most of the best rooms belong to Olympic!  We have been to Alikes before and we know rooms are basic, BUT there is basic and clean with good service, basic and dirty with a couldn't careless attitude...and we had the latter.  Lipstick on mugs, dirty cutley, one towel each and when they got soaking wet as they inevitably do with their shower system, they were not changed, when we left there were two towels in our bathroom which were beginning to smell as they had been there for two days.

The REP was useless, when we did see him he was jaded with the job and just doing time till he went home in a few weeks rumours have it that Kosmar were going to pull out of there last year but didn't...rumour has it they are going down the pan and it is not surprising.

THE BEST BIT OF OUR HOLIDAY WAS EATING EVERY EVENING AT THE PICADILLY RESTAURANT RUN BY THE METAXA FAMILY MANY THANKS TO CHRISTINA AND SOPHIE WHO KEPT US SANE!
