Just come back from Planos Apart Hotel with family of seven youngest being 20 months. This is the forth time in Tsilivi.

This hotel is situated next the the Admirals, stayed in room 511, which is just above the reception area and adjacent to the ping pong table. The rooms are ok and have air conditioning, however this will cost you £5 per night as the weather was really hot I would recommend this if you have young children. The hotel is situated in Planos which is about 1.5 miles from the main resort of Tsilivi. The beach (Bouka) is only 500 meters away. However, the cost of sun beds for a pair is £6 euro! If you want to stay around the pool the beds are free and plenty available.

There is a supermarket over the road and plenty of places to eat. The cost of a meal ranges from around 5 euro for a salad to 10/15 euro for a steak. Drinks cost around 2.50 euro for a bottle of beer and 2.30 for soft drinks. I would recommend the Kaliva bar 100 meters from hotel for entertainment for young kids as this has a play area and serves really good food at reasonable prices.

The beach is narrow with safe waters for kids, however, i do recommend wearing dive shoes these can be purchased in the supermarket near the Kaliva bar, these will protect your feet from sea urchin spikes!

Around the corner at the Alexanda Beach hotel you can try scuba, this i highly recommend and prices are about 40 euro.

A short walk into Tsilivi you will find the Luna Park where there is a play area for kids and adults! There is a laser park and paint ball arena. Be warned paint ball is not recommended even for adults; it hurts and is extremely dangerous at night time. Myself and my oldest lad was hit at close range, it stings and leaves big bruises! Your mask steams up you can't see. One Italian man was blinded last month when he took of his mask to clear it. The paint ball comes out about 300 miles an hour! So you can imagine what it feels like to be hit at close range!

Apart from that Tsilivi is great for families and I would go back again.
