I stayed in the elite last year and it wasnt at all as bad as what people are saying. It was a cheap holiday which had basic rooms and the people that work there are really nice.. especially casper who was very friendly! We are all planin on going back next year!!

i recently went to zante and stayed in elite studios, never in my life have i seen a hotel of that sort! it was hiddeous! we asked for a ground floor room due to my antie been unable to walk,she and my uncle was then put on the third floor and me and my mother in the top studios after they tried to put us in the crap  they have on the bottom floor! my antie and uncle room was ok! however my room had bad lighting, broken mirrors, plugs hanging off the wall loose cupboard doors! it rained 2 of the lights which flooded the main bedroom sending my flying, the showers where pointless you never got warm water! they were also mouldy. they had no reception just a beach bar wich had a very rude manager! the thomas cook rep was a waste was never there when he was supposed to be so we couldnt get a move then we he did turn up was an arugant a**ehole... for the price we paid id of expected abit more of a nice hotel! not a run down 'hostel'. the place doesnt even come close to been a basic accomadation.

Elite Studios, we were booked to stay there from 13th - 27th August 2009, we didn't stay there more than 3hrs, what an absolute SLUM, disgustingly dirty, electrical fittings hanging off the walls, exposed wiring, broken decking, broken glass left unattended in the door panels, mold on the walls, fire alrms broken in peices on the table, dirty contaminated cutlery, stained matresses, shower heads filthy with limescale and hair etc etc.

Clearly some people are very fussy when they pay a bargain price for a holiday! the apartments were basic but they had everything you could possibly need and everything worked fine, they even had air con if you wanted to pay for it! the pool area was fantastic with really great views over the sea and the beach bar was really nice as well, with a permanent happy hour, cheap food and free drinks if you were nice! the walk to the strip along the beach meant you got a bit wet, but it was fine, just do it in a group of three or more if your girls cos it gets a bit scary! taxis to the strip were about 8 euros which isn't bad if you split it between 4. Would reccommend the rescue club, cherry bay, barcode and la bamba and a good restaurant is x-paradiso and the italian near the apartments! Us girls had a great time at this place and I would reccommend it to any young people, although if you were a family or couple you might get a bit annoyed with the all night partying in the other rooms!

so am goin to zante on 13th september 2009 and am stayin in villa aliri studios but have had s**t reviews. ekk i dnt wanna go anymore please help give tell its not that bad?!!

Well I have to say that it doesn't look half as bad as what I thought it would and is that a shower curtain I saw in the picture???  LOL!  Oh well, no turning back now, I go in 2 days and have to say I am quite looking forward to it !!!

the showa, the room and RESCUE!

Oh well, we go on Thursday so wish us luck!!  Any pictures of the rooms would be greatly appreciated!  I would really like to see where we will be living for the next few weeks!!!

got back from elite studios today, went on the 16th of july for a week and it was the best week ever!! the hotel isnt amazing but its clean and all of the staff are friendly..... casper and antonio on the bar are so nice, met some really nice people all the welsh girls and the scottish girls, rooms 13 and 14 have the best views, the lads from birningham and not forgettin big p and rhys :) had some funny times here, the air con is 45 euro for a week and save is 25 defo worth gettin both, if anyone from elite who was here same time as the liverpool girls make sure u all add me on facebook, miss use all already :( xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yes let me know how it goes, we go on 13th Aug for 2 weeks, we have decided to stay put as we really like the look of it in the brochure and if it wasn't for me looking up reviews we wouldn't have known any different till we got there!!  We dont want a palace as it was a cheap holiday -  just a base to sleep and shower as long as we can do both we will be happy  I have also been told that air con can be hired for 40 Euros?  So wish us luck we might need it - LOL!

Is it really that bad??  We have booked a studio for 2 weeks, but I am seriously considering changing my hotel at the weekend as I keep hearing horror stories!  We dont mind basic but a bit of space is a must we dontreally want to be stuck in a tiny room for 2 weeks? Also air con?? Does anyone know what the studios are like and if they have air con?  If so can you let me know so I can decide whether we need to re-book?  thanks!
