Just come back from Hotel Maria Alykes, had a fantastic time, it was our second year there, Alex, Billy, & Theo were perfect hosts yet again.

Met some nice people Linda, Geoff, & Danny, enjoyed there company, can't wait to go back again.

If you want a good night out go to the Iris Bar, the best places we ate at were, Relax, Asteria, and Fantasia, all of which were very good, and reasonably priced.

If you want a relaxing holiday, this is the place for you 10/10

Dave & Barbara.

PS roll on 2010 for our next holiday in Alykes, Yamas.

Hi Stella,

I went to The Maria Apartments last year and had a great time.... James wasn't the rep there when I went...
 
I'll try and help tho with anything you might want to know!!! The apartments themselves are very basic but got everything that you need, and they are really clean, we had fresh towels and bedding everyday bar one I think... The pool is a decent size and is always clean... There is a bar/restaurant aswell which was always fairly priced and the food was good!! They play music around the pool all day, abit of a mixture of different eras so I really enjoyed that... As far as I know there is no email address, although I do have a business card for them at my house so will have a look for you when I get home! We had a coach transfer to the apartments from the airport so i'm not sure on the taxi link.... Sorry!!
 
The town is a 15 minute walk away from the apartments, pretty much on a straight road but its sooo hot even in the evening so feels like soooo much longer!!! We said we would rent a quad bike if we went back this year as I was just too hot by the time we got to town!!
 
Sorry if the info I have given doesn't help but if you need any more info you can always email me... kelly_jackson_761@hotmail.co.uk
 
If not, I hope you have a great holiday!! I did!!

Just returned from Hotel Maria, what can I say apart from, we had a one of the best holidays ever, Theo, Billy, Dennis, and the one and only Alex, were perfect hosts, always friendly, polite, and a good laugh, also the cleaning Staff were hard working and also very freindly, and they all worked very long hours.

We met loads of people there, such as Keith, Shelia, Charlie, Yvonne, Les, Diana, and Tom, to name a few, we enjoyed ourselves that much, we are going to go back, the same time next year, and hopefully meet up with some of you yet again.

It was our first time anywhere in Greece, and it won't be our last.

Yamas from Dave & Barbara our Rating 10/10

Just returned from a weeks holiday in the Maria Apartments. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday this is NOT the place for you. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, but music plays all day around the pool, and not just at background  level, which would have been fine. If you find yourself in either room 38,39,40 or 41 sleep is impossible, as they are above the bar, guess who was in one of these. The noise is horrendous and goes on till two, three and four o'clock in the morning. Saturday night was really bad as it felt as if the whole building was vibrating with the noise. Glad to be back to peace and quiet,.  But the weather was great.

Just returned from 2 weeks at the Maria Apartments and had a wonderful time.

In terms of the rooms, they are quite basic, but have most things you need for a stay, but we ate out every night so didn't really use the cooking stuff. The bathrooms are small but acceptable as they tend to be in most places in Greece. The balcony was large and safe. You only get one toilet roll for the duration of your stay so you will need to buy some from the local shops. You may also be lucky enough to make friends with two very cute and sweet cats who often visited us. Beds were changed once a week, but the rooms get a general go over every few days.
 
The pool area is always very clean and tidy. Probably the best thing about the aprtments is the guys that run it, absolute legends: Theo (who just happens to be gorgeous!), Alex, Billy and Dennis really make you feel welcome.
 
About 10-15 minute walk from the beach and town which isn't too bad and you always take a dip in the pool to cool yourself down after the walk.
 
Yamas (anyone who has had the pleasure of talking with Theo will know what I mean).

click to enlarge We have just returned from our second visit to the Maria Studios, 13 of us made up of 4 generations aged 74yrs to 4yrs and all had a wonderful time. The bar was lively (and late) enough to keep the 20 year olds happy without disturbing the oldies and also pleasant and welcoming enough to keep the oldies happy without annoying the youngsters.  The pool bar offers great snacks at good prices.
We have been told that Maria Apartments are back with Olympic Holidays next year so keep a look out because we have been unable to find it so far.
Thanks to Theo, Billy, Dennis and of course Alex (hand bag) for keeping us entertained and making it such a superb holiday.

Hi there,

I went to the Maria Studios on 3rd August 2008 for a week, was the best holiday ever!!! Returning next year for 2 weeks!! Myself and my boyfriend were unsure of what to expect as like most people, we searched high and low for info on the internet but there was none!! Depending on when you are leaving the hotel depends on when you have to check out. Alot of people had mid afternoon flights which were great as you have to be out of your room by mid-day on the day you leave, so if your returning to the UK for example at 4pm, you only have to wait 4 hours without a room. On the other hand, people like me and my boyfriend and a couple that we met on  holiday, we were being picked up by the coach at 2.20am Monday and so from mid-day Sunday we didn't have a room! We were very lucky though as we met a lovely family who were staying longer than  us and they let us use their room so we could get showered and changed. You can pay an extra 25 euros to keep your room on till 11pm but we didn't see the point as we would not be in it apart from to get changed. Please be aware that there is NO courtesy room however there are small showers/changing rooms at the back of the pool snack bar, they are very private and you can lock the doors.
 
The guys who run the hotel, Theo, Alex and Dennis are amazing, can't do enough for you!! Billy also helps out but he was only there 2 nights when we stayed but he's lovely aswell!!
 
Can't wait to go back next year!! Already been on the internet to see what deals there are!!
 
Anything that anyone wants to know, please just ask and if I can help than I will!!
 
Like I said above, our stay at The Maria Studios/Apartments (same thing) was absolutely brilliant, couldn't have wished for a better holiday and can't wait to go back next year!!

Is the Maria Apartments the same as Maria Studios?  I can't find anything about it despite a good search on the net.... except for other people saying exactly the same thing!

Whereabouts is it?  What can we expect?  What about this checking out nearly 24 hours before your flight thang?!!!
 
Cheers
