Anastasia Beach Hotel - (Accommodation in Laganas)

Tell T           

The Hotel is well located right on the beach, and its only about a 15 minute walk along the beach to "The Strip", where all the crazy/fun bars are located.

The hotel pool area is good and clean, but the Czech guests beat the germans at stealing the sunbeds by putting their towels down at evening meal time, the night before the next days sunbathing! Oh, and then there were people from other hotels doing the same!!

The breakfast is nothing special, but take your own milk (the milk put out is watered down) and take your own orange juice (theirs is yellow water!).

You booked a room with a sea view? Surprise surprise they are all taken - but if you pay €10 per room per night there is one available! If you can get the Reception staff to smile, lucky you - and if you can get the grumpy manageress to be nice to you then you must be paying her extra (she works evenings only - God knows what she's like in the morning!). The cleaning staff and pool staff are excellent.

The evening meal is short on choice for starters and dessert, but the main dishes are pretty good. And as for the "Greek night", well they don't tell you until afterwards that you pay for the band! nice one, eh?

AirCon is extra, Fridge is extra, Room Safe is extra - I'm just glad we didn't have to rent our room Key in addition to having paid for the room.

All in all, the holiday was okay, but I have the lasting feeling the management was just there to rip off the guests at all chances.

Although we could eat in the Hotel as part of our package, we found the little restaurant next door (not across the road, but after the little shop) was very good.
