Peter’s Kool Pool Appartments are basic but that’s hardly unusual on a holiday package in Greece and the most important factor is that they are clean. The cleaner comes in every day except Sunday & the bed linen & towels are changed at least twice a week. The Appartments have all you need for self catering but there are so many places to eat in the Village of Kardamena that you’re better off going out. …

We were a bit disappointed with the Caravel hotel on arrival. We had a long day so were tired & a bit tetchy by the time we hit Zante.

Beware if you book a package holiday to the Sea Horse hotel in lesbos with Thomas Cook Online asthey will tell you that a sea view is no problem and it doesn’t mention a surcharge but if you are unlucky you will get the “castle” view. We could not blame the hotel staff as they are only given the accommodation codes a couple of weeks before you get there. Other than that, the Sea Horse is a great little hotel. …

3 girls early 30’s went to Kavos in Corfu for one week in early September 2009. First impressions of the Agnes hotel were OK, except the reception to check into was in a really small shop!. The room was pretty small & basic but it did the job as we only wanted to use the room to sleep in. …

Travelled with Thompson in May to the 5 star Rithymna Beach hotel. Flights to Crete were all good & our coach was found with ease with the help of our Rep. The journey by coach was not for the faint hearted - driver drove very fast around very bendy roads, one handed on his mobile phone! …
