4/10 Deborah Parry (August 20, 2009)

Myself my husband and 2, 15 year olds have just stayed at Capains complex at the commodore,we had a room for 4 which was big enough basic and everything we needed. The bathroom was ok but the shower cubicle was so tiny you could not move your arms without movingthe curtain and flooding the bathroom. We managed it was only for ten days. The views were fantastic we had a sea view but from the front of the hotel to our room we had 79 steps up and down to negotiate every time.Tis meant we could keep fit and eat more. We found the food ok but very repetive but did manage to find somthing we liked, but by day 6 we had to eat out enough is enough. We only found 1 member of staff friendly this was Cody behind the reception who was lovely and took the time to smile and speak We found that there were not many english people so not many families to chat to mostly polish or german. I dont think we will book to go back. There were many safety issues we could have reported but did not as we went for happy holiday.

We stayed at the Captains Hotel for a week in May 2008, we loved everything about it, It was slightly up hill and at a dead end so there was no passing traffic etc, the food was good always a good selection to choose from, the pool areas were great in the captains you have a choice of 3 pools in total, 2 are next to each other, one is raised slightly higher than the other. The views were second to none. There was evening entertainment every evening down at the admiral which is the sister hotel which is just across the road from the commodore, and there was daytime activities also. Both myself and my wife had a total relaxing holiday, we did try and stay on for a few extra days but there were no seats on the plane back. The only one thing that was a slight negative was the rooms are basic, but as you know all you people who have travelled to greece before, all the rooms you get are basic but there are many advantages to the greak rooms, you get a fridge(bonus). Our rooms were cleaned every day and if we made the beds before we went out they would remake them and our towels were changed everyday.

We loved it that much we have booked again for next year for 11 nights 17th May. Roll on next May.

just spent a week at the hotel, which i have done on previous years due to the quality of the hotel and never having a bad thing to say about it and its staff!  But unfortunatly this year i have nothing good to say apart from the view from main reception.  we had six people and we had booked 2 rooms for 3 people. we were given the two rooms but one room with a double and a single and one with 4 beds cramed into the one, we went down to reception to try and sort it out but the person on the reception said he didnt understand english and to come back later.

we saw our rep who was a great help and she reported we had a problem it took two days for the to bring us another bed which they left in the hall by our room and expected us to take it in and remove the double bed. our rooms were also never cleaned apart from the first day we had to get our own clean towels and sheets! and the smell comming into the room from the kitchen which was right next to it stunk like swege ! cannot believe how down hill this place had gone since last time we visited

Well we stayed in the captains for 2 weeks. In these 2 weeks, our room got cleaned a grand total of 3 times. Clean towels twice. We also had stuff stolen from our room, even tho we locked the door. The staff here are some of the most ignorant and unhelpfull people we met on the island. When buses or trucks or cars drive up the hill, the balcony doors rattle that much it wakes you up. The air conditioning didnt work, complained 5 times and got nowhere. No kettle, again complained and nothing. We spent most of our time down at the hotel Contessa. Much better hotel, entertainment was fantastic here. Much better location. So thats where we are staying when we go back in september.

Hi guys

Don't know why so many people leaving so many bad comments about the Captains.Myself,my fiancee Gemma (the 1 on the right) & my sister Gemma just got back yesterday after spending a week there & we had a fab time.We only stayed self catering but the staff were so friendly & helpful.We had no complaints at all.It's a long way up the hill but if u take the shortcut thru the commodore then it's not half as bad as people make out.Only been home 1 day but already looking to book next year for 2 weeks.Pool not large but how much time do u actually spend in there!!!!!
 
Had brekkie everyday at the Snack Academy & George was so friendly & such a laugh(he also works at the world tour golf bar at night). He difinately brightened up our week.(He's the 1 on the pic)
 
The Beer Academy great place for cocktails & staff friendliness.Went there everynight.
 
Also recommend The Sunburnt Arms.The English Guys Mark,Lee & Kirsty such a laugh.Definately be seeing them again next year.
 
Went on the Jeep Safari.Lunch at the top of the cliffs so amazing.Such amazing views & scenery.Very highly recommended A++++++
 
 
My Fiancee Gem already missing all the cats LOL
 
Wish we could go back tomorrow
 
See u all next year

Me and my mates have just come back from argassi last friday and the staff at the captains were very helpful, my mate somehow lost his passport on route to the hotel from the airport, the staff contacted our rep and the coach company and we had his passport back within two days!!! just like to thank the staff at the hotel we really enjoyed our stay.  the only problem with the hotel was that you have to leave your room the day before you leave so that they can prepare it for the next guests.

me and my friend stayed at the captains, and we really liked it.  there is a massive hill to the main entrance, but we found a short-cut where you can go up some steps through the pool and past the commodor ... this was better we thought, coz it cut off the hill.

the food was ok ... salad was lush, but the mains were a bit random ... one night it was chips, potatoes, pasta and rice .... with some meat thing ... but not a huge range to be honest!!
the people were so nice ... we evertually broke the head receptionist in to a bit of a smile which is always a good thing!!

Adi is the best ... we miss him so much!! he really looked out for us ... so if ur a group of girls or woteva .. he's like your big brother who'll make sure your ok! Amy is an absloute legend ... shes so cool ... and a right laugh!! all the staff are fun, and make u feel really comfortable. we had to pay 5 euros a day for air conditioning...thats the only annoying thing .... but worth it, coz it was sooooo hot!!

there wasnt a huge amount of things to do ... there were a few bars and that ... but only a few that we thought were decent, we ended up going to the same bar every night ... we're not really in to clubbing and whatever, and i think this resort suited that ... there were loads of couples around ... i think its an ideal resort for couples ... but brilliant hotel!! x

we went to argassi for our first holiday last year and stayed at the captain's.  we liked it, was a bit miffed at lack of ac but we lived.  we went self-catering and the apartment was basic but it was all we needed.  tina was lovely but worked like a dog bless her (can someone let me know if she is still there??) and the girl who worked in the bar at night (lovely girl from liverpool - name escapes me) was really friendly despite being homesick  i really want to go back but other half wants to island hop.  it was lovely and i would recommend it to anyone but be prepared for pig-ignorant brits thinking they can speak to the locals like s**t and then embarrass themselves by getting pissed and being loud and obnoxious in the many restauants.  the waiters etc were so polite to them but i'm guessing they had some a sort of bodily fluid in their all day english breakfast

Didn't stay in the Captains as was in the Commodore Appartments, spent a large part of the evenings though in the Captains playing pool.

If you really like a quiet drink rather than clubbing then this is the place to be and Amy who works behind the bars in the evenings is very friendly and would ensure that you have a great time.
Can't wait to return to visit the area.
