The Apartments

We arrived at the apartments around 1.30pm and was greeted and given our room key by Effie. The Apartment had a bedroom with 2 beds pushed together, dressing table and drawers for clothes. The wardrobes had plenty of space and hangers. The kitchen and dining area was nice and bright and roomy with plenty of  facilities for cooking including a microwave and sandwich maker but no toaster. The lounge had a 3rd bed and a pull out sofa bed. There was a colour tv in the room. We had a room with a solid wall balcony but to be honest we did not spend too much time on the balcony. There is Air conditioning available which you have to pay for if you want to use it. This can be done on a ad-hoc basis at a cost of 10 Euro per day or 60 Euro per week we did not need it in the middle of May. There is also a safe deposit box in the room which you have to obtain a key for from reception and the cost for this is 25 Euro per week.  The bathroom has a shower over the bath which was a bit fiddly to turn around in but ok. A word of warning here is that if you have a bath only take the plug half out to release the water or the bathroom  floor will flood through the grill in the tiled floor. This is because the pipes are small and cannot cope with the sudden throughput of water.

Hair Dryers can be borrowed from reception if required.

As you go through reception taking the steps to the left down to the pool area there is an opening on your left where there are blue doors, these are the pool/bar area toilets. At the end of this corridor is a room set up with an ironing board and iron and opposite there are showers which can be used after swimming or if needed if you have to vacate your room and you flight is later in the day, then it could be used as a courtesy room.

 

The Pool and pool bar/restaurant

There is a large pool and a childs pool which appear to be well maintained and clean. There is a tiny area of beach and the water slowly shelves outward so you can walk a fair way out. Jelly shoes or old trainers would be useful as some bits are pebbley.

There are plenty of sunbeds which were even comfortable without the extra padded mattresses which were available

The two ladies at the pool bar Anna and Maria were lovely and gave us excellent service. A full English breakfast which included, 3 rashers of bacon, 2 eggs, sausage beans, tomato  2 toast, orange juice and tea or coffee cost 5.5 Euro continental breakfast was 2 rounds of toast or bread rolls with orange juice, tea or coffee was 4.5 Euro. Small Beer 2.5 Euro 330ml large Mythos beer 3 Euro 500ml.

 

Entertainment

Basically there is none apart from a Greek night at the sister Windmill Studio apartments which are about 100 yds from the bay apartments on the other side of the road next to the green frog restaurant. This happens on a Monday evening and costs 12 Euro and has to be booked at reception in advance.
