Gorgeous location wish it was for 2 adults from east mids airport !!

oh sh*t

just realised the actualy hotel its at.

me and the mrs went to this exact place 2 years ago.

Absolutely gorgeous. Anyone who books it will not be disappointed. You are literally right on the beach!

I have just went onto the site and changed it from 18 nights to 14 nights for a family of 4, 2 adults 2 children and it came back with £78!!!

so its not £151 because the flights are £409.....

stayed there this year and its lovely but very very quiet most evenings i had to find some one to serve me a beer. and the entertainment stopped very early as no one was there.

A lot of people stayed in there own rooms and cooked them selves.

Very nice and clean and tidy and 4 pools right on the sea front but greece is on its knees.

Only has one cash point near by which is quite often out of money and most places dont take cards as they need cash to fiddle the tax hence why greece is on its knees.

Book if you want some where quiet but not if you expect any night life. we was in bed by 10.30 most nights lol as was everyone else.

ps maids came in every single day and cleaned. Properly! mopped and dusted etc etc.

I can't get any cheap flights from Scotland, brilliant deal for those who can :smile:

Huh, you really think it would be £151 in total for flights and accomodation for 4 people?

read the op, the £151 is per person for lights and hotel

hotel price for the 4 is £198
flights for the 4 is £409 add them both and divide by 4 equals how much per person

Just wondering who takes 18 day holidays.

Not been to hotel but to alykanas and alykes, going this year aswell.
Very nice family resort, a few lively bars in alykes but really aimed at families.
As for cash machines there are 2 in alykanas next to letsos and on the corner of the beach road in the resort, and a machine in alykes at the bank. I always use my card to pull cash and never had a problem!
I would venture out of the hotel anyway...in 11 years going twice a year I have always done self catering and always eaten out..yes prices have gone up, but so has everywhere else!

Agreed the TOTAL FULL price should be in the OP at the goto button, VERY misleading!

Its like putting iphone 4 for £35......yes but £35x24months = £840

this was may half term!!!!!

I really enjoyed Zante. The people were very welcoming. The worst thing about it was that the rep kept on about this St. Dennis person, and I had no idea who she was on about. I'd read about a few bits before we left, and studied some basic phrases, and didn't see anything about a St. Dennis. Well, it turned out that it was the lazy, ignorant Brits butchering the actual St. Dionysis. How disrespectful. Anyway, rant over - Zante is lovely.:smiley:

Sorry, take it back. I have now booked the holiday. Cost was slightly more as I am taking three children so worked out at £186 pp. However, we do get two rooms instead of one.

Voted hot !! :sunglasses:

Btw I nabbed 5 of the remaining 7 seats for the return date.

Just looked at this and i get the following appear when i choose the room options etc...

How is it misleading? Holidays prices are advertised on a per person basis. It makes sense that this deal is the same to make the savings obvious.

If people bothered to read the initial post, the price of the holiday would be clear.

Chris is doing everyone a favour by posting these deals on here. He's helped hundreds of people find cheap holidays. Why do people have to moan about the format they get posted in? Just appreciate that he bothers to post at all.

We stayed at the Alykanas Beach next door to this one, and it is literally right on the beach, the sea here is amazing, clear calm waters and is shallow for a long way out, one of the best beaches we have ever been to, the resort is really nice as well with good tavernas and restaurants, but it was fairly quiet when we went in September, and I would think it would be even quieter in October, which is relaxing but could be boring if you are looking for something more lively.

Used to live in Zante and work as a Rep for Thomson. The weather in October changes quite a bit from May through September which is lovely. Can be quite changeable and a LOT of the shops/tavernas etc will be closing/ have closed already .. Be warned , it will probably be overcast and I 'm dont recall it feeling 20 C...STILL A GREAT PLACE THOUGH

Bear in mind as well that if you booked two weeks' leave before a Public Holiday, you'd be looking at one weekend, two whole weeks, and then the Public Holiday. You'd have 17 days off while only taking ten days' (two weeks for most people) leave, so it's not that tough.

wow must be a terrible holiday if people are resorting to cooking themselves =D

lol you know what i mean.

Over 1000 people at the hotel when we was there and on a saturday night at 9.30 pm there was 7 of us in the entertainment. 5 of them us....

the bloke just said f this im off...

lol be sure to say hi saki the barman..........keep him sweet and you will get loads of free drinks:)

also be sure to check out cozy corner........as you come out the hotel on the street side just walk straight down the hill and its front of you, near where you catch a horse and kart

To be honest if you get 'misled' by thinking you can get a holiday for £151 for 4-8 people in total, I'm surprised you even know how to use a keyboard and mouse.

Just came back from here on Friday after 2 weeks. Great place for the kids with a kids club.
Because of the family nature of the place everyone does seem to go out very early, but there are plenty of other people around the rest of the resort, October will be very quiet tho, many tavernas and bars will be closed for the season, but the remaining ones will offer good discounts.

A few points to note;
There was a 2 week taxi strike whilst we were there.
There is only one cashpoint machine in Alykanas now - the one at Letsos has been removed. The remaining machine in Alykanas was out of order for part of the holiday as was the machine at Montes in Alykes.

A great place to go, October won't be as warm, there will be rain and it will be cooler in the evenings - so maybe take a jumper.

Great deal.

Has this deal expired? I've followed the instructions and it comes up with 4 hotels ranging from £700 to over £1,000 :disappointed:

Who the hell has enough holiday to take 2.5 weeks off work solidly? :confused:

Longest I've had this year is a long weekend of 4 days :o(

I found some places in Zante disgusting when I went, full of flies fir some reason. This was a good 6 years ago though on a lads holiday. Cost me nearly £500 b&b back then so this is a good deal

I've got from 24th august to 21st September off this year for my summer holidays :smile:

er, most people with 33 days annual leave or the 30,000,000 people who dont work!

Otherwise known as 'The Public Sector'. My wife has so much more holiday than me it's embarrassing.
