Is it true that Donna is at the Rose & Crown, will be a loss to the Venus

Just returned from another fantastic stay at the Venus.  Great room, great staff, good food and every bit as good as previous years.

Thanks everyone

We arrived on July 9th 2009 looking forward to another good holiday. This was the first time that we booked direct with the hotel and found it very cost effective compared to previous visits via a holiday package.

Fantastic hotel, staff make you feel very welcome, great with children, nothing is too much trouble. Hotel is ammaculately clean, rooms cleaned every day, pool and pool area spotless, plently of sunbeds to go around. Hotel snacks very good, varied and reasonably priced. Going back for another holiday this Sept 09 - really looking forward to it.  TopTip: book direct with hotel, you get the following benefits: fridge, air-con & safe, airport pick up and drop off, 10% off all hotel food & drinks and a further discount off your next holiday if you book again before you leave - you dont get any of this if you book through an operator, everything is extra. I would say Kalamaki is for families and couples, for the younger generation Laganas is a 7 euro taxi ride away, close enough to go clubbing every night but far enough away not to affect Kalamaki. Lots of restaurants to choose from and a good selection of bars. The beach is a short walk away, beautiful and clean (has to be due to the protection of the logggerhead turtles). We have never returned to the same hotel on our holidays before, but the Venus Hotel makes you feel so welcome, relaxed and comfortable you want to come back again.

Just 81 days to go before we arrive in Kalamaki yet again (5th time). As usual staying at the Venus hotel, which in my mind is the best place to stay. Very friendly welcome, your made to feel part of the Venus family. The rooms are excellent, snack bar has plenty of variety and more importantly the staff are very friendly andefficient. Can't wait, but I suppose i'll have to.

Our first time at The Venus, and Nick was most helpful and welcoming. The room was kept spotless as were all areas of the hotel. The snacks from the pool bar were reasonably priced, and there is a huge choice, which is handy if you can't be bothered to go out for breakfast (well lunch in our case, not known to be early risers!!!). We only "did" the breakfast that is provided twice, a good choice, but as I said, we prefer the extra hour in bed!!! The cocktails in the evening are fab, just beware, they are VERY strong!!! I found the pool area a little crowded, and noisy at times, not really "us", as I like to lie peacefully and read, not a problem though, we just nipped up to Dias and used their pool.. Whilst we found the Venus to be a very nice hotel, we prefer the self catering choice we have used for the previous 6 visits to Kalamaki, and I doubt if we'll do a hotel again, not just the Venus, but any hotel

Once again another brilliant stay at the Venus, can't fault it except to say it's hard to leave.  The refurbishment is now complete and the whole hotel is just so nice, the food at the pool bar is brilliant and although not a breakfast person we did make it twice and the choice this year is just outstanding.  The bar in the evenings is just the perfect way to end the day.  Already counting down to Sept

Once again had a fantastic 10 night stay at the Venus in May, thank you to all the hotel staff for making our stay a great one!!

Had a great stay at the Venus Hotel last September, the hotel is fantastic very clean and well maintained, the staff are very friendly and helpful too!! Can't wait to get back in 5 weeks time!! 23rd May 08!! woohoo!!

Brilliant find. Just back from our first stay, which we booked direct - thanks to all the people in the know who let on how much cheaper and easier it was to do so. Nick and the 'gang' are so friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble. We have stayed in 5 star hotels before and believe me; they do not come up to the same standards as the Venus. We have never returned to the same resort before - I have a feeling this will be our first. Thanks guys for a truely fantastic week..... See you next year.
