Alykanas Beach Village - (Accommodation in Alykanas)

Donna C          9/10

We have just come back from 2 weeks here and loved it...

There were 3 of us (2 adults and an 8 yr old) in a 1 bedroom apartment.
We found that there was more than enough space and we were so lucky to get an apartment overlooking the sea - it is in a perfect location right on the beach...!
On a clear day you can see Kefalonia perfectly
The hotel has 3 pools - 1 at the front overlooking the sea and 2 in the complex.
The 2 pools in the complex is where everything goes on..
If you want you can be involved in activities all day and night, although you are never pressured into 'joining in'..
There is an on site snack bar that sells basic snacks and breakfasts, slightly over priced compared to the resort however it is very convienient...
It closes at 6pm which could be doing with staying open a bit later.
The hotel is very clean and the maid came 6 days a week.
 
We were charged 70 euros for 2 weeks air con and 50 euros (non-refundable) for the safe,  which we thought was a bit excessive...
The bar is open till 2am and Nick the barman is brilliant..
You have to make sure that you are down early to get sunbeds and if you leave towels they will be removed..
The kids club is a bit of a nightmare -
There are 2 daily 'drop-in sessions' for ages 3-12.
You don't need to pre-register for these
Then each day there are the age-specific kids clubs for which you have to pre-register.
This means you have to queue in the snack bar from about 1.00 the day before..
If you don't get in the queue early enough your child will not get in as there are only limited places...
 
The entertainment is ok, although it can get a bit 'samey'...
Thoughout the day there is aerobics, water polo, water volleyball, quizes, darts, pool.... all sorts of things going on..
 
All in all a wonderful holiday..
It's a lovely hotel in a perfect location..
