Delfini I and II
(Apartments in Laganas)
 
 Mr Banff (June 22, 2008)
Just back from two weeks in Laganas, staying at the Zante D'Oro. Saw Dimitri at the Delfini when we came off the bus, and he explained to us that he is now using a Czech tour operator, or Fidelity Travel. Not a big surprise really, although disappointing for us, as we would go back to these apartments every year.

Thanks Rosie. Our travel agent told us that Manos have not renewed their contract with Delfini for next year. ( Can't understand why ? ) She browsed her database and couldn't find them linked with any other company for next summer. We had no option but to book another apartment, and luckily we've managed to get into Zante D'Oro. It'll be a wrench sitting on the balcony across the road from the Delfini, knowing we'd rather be there, but can't get in !!!
Please let us know if you hear any more. Thanks.

MY FAMILY HAS STAYED HERE SINCE 1999 AND BECOME VERY GOOD FREINDS OF DIMITRIS AND MARIA. EVEN EXCHANGING XMAS CARDS. I ALWAYS BOOK WITH THEM PRIVATE AND HAVE NO PROBLEMS DOING THIS. THEY ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND I ONLY WISH THEY WERE NOT SURROUNDED BY ALL THE 20S AND 18-30S. NOW JIMMYS HAVE GONE 18-30S AS WELL I ONLY HOPE DIMITRIS AND MARIAS LOVELY LITTLE BUISENESS WILL SURVIVE. I WISH THEM ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD, THEY WILL NEED IT PEAK SEASON!

Hello Jason, We just book with our local travel agent who always looks after us. However, if you go on to Manos's website, you'll get a good deal without the middleman. As you say, the owners don't speak too much English, so not much hope in trying to book with them direct ! Hope this helps.

hi Mr Banff
how did you book to go back to the delfini, was it just with the tour operators or did you do it another way. the only reason i ask is i stayed there the other year and will like to go back again. loved its location and the people who ran it even if little english was spoken.
:)

click to enlargeHave stayed at the Delfini the last two years, and have booked again for next year. The owners Dimitri and Maria don't speak much English, but are more than helpful. The rooms are clean, with a daily maid service, and the bathrooms have shower curtains. Great location. One minute from the beach, and 5 minutes from the main strip, so is far enough away to enjoy a good night's sleep. There is a 'Twenty's' complex nearby, but we didn't find it a problem.

We have just returned from a fantastic holiday in Laganas. We have 2 children and we stayed at the Delfini Studios and I can honestly say we had excellent service from the family and staff who run the apartments.
Sure there is noise from the early morning drunks but that never lasts too long and you have double glazing to close them out. Location is ideal, the pool at Jimmys is clean and modern and the beach is just a couple of minutes walk
If you are the type who looks for problems and want to moan about this and that then you should not come to Greece!!
However if you want a safe base to come back to every day then go to stay at the Delfini.

Recently stayed here for 1 week with my boyfriend.  It was ok, but not planning on returning.  The apartment was in a good location as it was close to the beach and approximately 5min walk from the main strip of bars.  This is good because you can have a wild night or a quiet night, depending on how you are feeling.  The only real bad thing about the location was that there is an 18-30's hotel directly opposite.  So if you are staying here don't expect to get any sleep between 4:30 - 7:30 am.  Although, you will be fine if your plan on joining them or if you are a deep sleeper.

 
On the whole the apartment was ok; however I don't think that I would recommend it to anyone!  We were quite lucky as we landed ourselves a 2 bedroom apartment, which was good as we could sleep in the back room when the noise became too loud out the front.  The cleaner visited almost everyday, although I'm not sure what she did could be classed as cleaning! She simply swept/mopped the floor, folded up the bed sheet (but never changed it) and opened the bathroom window.  A little piece of advice for any girls planning on staying here 'Take your own towels for the shower' (In addition to your beach towels)  You will need them!  The towels provided were very old and were not changed throughout our stay.  Warning to the boys 'Stock up on toilet roll', because once you have used the first roll you don't get anymore!  Believe me, you will need it if you are planning on drinking the local spirits and free shots.
 
Although there is no swimming pool at the Delfini, I would suggest that you use Jimmy's, which is opposite the apartments.  If you get a chance go on the all day boat trip that takes you around the Island.  Smugglers Cove (Shipwreck) is amazing!  If you are looking for a good place to eat try Georgios.  The food is great.  It is located on a road leading off the main strip.  Just head away from the beach, turn right at the Ionian Sea restaurant, it is a little way upon the left-hand side.  It's well worth a visit.
 
Warning to anyone who is thinking of staying in Savvas apartments DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!! My friends and their boyfriends were staying there and 1 couple had to go home a week early because they were so ill.  1 of my other friends was ill for 3 days and my boyfriend spent an entire day and night ill in the apartments after using their pool and eating from savvas pool bar.  Just read the comments written about Savvas for more information and steer clear!
 
Oh, before I forget, look forward to the experience of Zante airport!!!!!!!Confused

 On arrival we were shown straight to our room which was clean. Demitri and Maria, although didnt speak much english were friendly and helpful. The apartment was cleaned every day and the bedding and towels changed once a week.  The apartments were close to the beach and a 5 min walk from the main strip so not far to stagger hom.All in all we couldnt have asked for more.

Felt it right to update from the last comment I left before going away this year! We have just got back from our holiday and although we had a fantastic time on the island the Delfini I and II accommodation has gone really down hill since last year! When we arrived the door was broke we tried to explain this to Demitri and his wife but they never understood so it never got fixed! A couple of days later the door got jammed and we couldn't get out! Luckily the door eventually opened and Demitri put a new lock on it! We tried to explain that the problem wasn't with the lock it was something to do with the door but he never understood and charged us 15 euros for the new lock! A week later the door jammed again and Demitri had to go and get another greek man to get some ladders and climb over our balcony into our room! This time we were stuck in our room for a couple of hours while the greek guy tried to remove the door from its hinges! We were so fed up by the time the door was removed we just left them to it and went to the beach, when we got back guess what had been done to the door? Yes, a new lock had been put on it!! The door was also made out of quite see through glass so people walking past could clearly see into our room and if they never got a good luck that way they could always look through the gap where there was a piece of glass missing! (not very private!!) One day we got back from the beach and I sat down on the bed, which collapsed!! Im only a size 10 so it cant have been down to my weight! Demitri did fix it quite quickly (with some glue!!!) but it just showed how run down the place is getting! The cleaner was the same as last year and she has gotten a lot worse! We were there for three weeks and our bedding was only changed twice! The bedding was dirty and full of holes when it was put on so we had to put towels that we had brought with us, over it! The towels that we were given were filthy so we couldn't use them and they weren't changed once in the whole 3 weeks we were there! The bathroom was never cleaned, unless you count mopping the floor with water (no cleaning product) opening the window and emptying the bin as cleaning! Things also went missing from our room, strange things like my inhaler, a brand new beach towel that we hadn't even used, a pair of shorts and even stranger bars of chocolate!!!!  Demitri is a lovely man but these apartments are in need of a good renovation and he definitely needs a new cleaner! One thing that is excellent about this accommodation is location.  It is close to everything, the beach is seconds away! We cant say that we hated these apartments because Zante is such a beautiful and great place to go on holiday that its impossible to hate anything on it but when we go back to Laganas next year we will definitely be staying in different accommodation!

Stayed in Delfini I and II last year in July and are just about to fly out next week to stay in them again.  The apartments are basic but they have everything that you need.  They are in an excellent position, with the beach just seconds down the road and close to bars and restaurants but far enough away so that you can have a good, quiet nights sleep.  The only problem that we did have was with the maid, she didn't do the best job but we were having such a good holiday anyway this didn't really matter.  Such a good holiday in fact that this year will be our 3rd year in a row holidaying in Laganas and 2nd in Delfini, we loved it so much that were staying for 3 weeks this year!! Can't wait!!!
