We were very well looked after. An excellent holiday.

Mrs P Throupe, Keighley

Basic Greek but very clean and spacious studio, all the people that work there are lovely, great pool area.

Mrs K Reed, Newark

Very, very basic no frills or extras but clean.

Mrs S Pritchard, Lytham St Annes

Apartment full of ants, bedding changed once in a weeks stay, towels that were as stiff as a board, a ripped towel used as a bath mat, no electric for first 2 days. If next door used a hair-dryer our electric would go off. Very rude chef on the snack bar, lovely barmaid Anny.

Nice pool area. Good location.

Would not stay here again.

Mr P Richardson, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Basic. Clean. Friendly staff. Comfortable amazing pool.

Miss M Davie, Glasgow

Very friendly staff and rooms are cleaned every day by a lovely maid - large rooms and large balcony.

Mrs A O Keefe, Manchester

Bring your own hairdryer. Safes available in room for reasonable charge. My room was great size.

Mr R Caldwell, Southampton

Broken shower asked to fix 4 times, no help. Apartment nice and spacious, clean and tidy just the shower issue really.

Mrs N Crossley, Castleford

Spent 2 weeks in July here. Very reasonably priced for standard of accommodation which is basic but rooms very big. Self catering but very limited crockery etc but enough to make sandwich which is all I usually do. Bins emptied daily. You have to provide own loo roll. Only saw Paul the owner once when checked in when he gave us list of 'rules' Danny the chef, is there all day and I found him to be very moody and aggressive and for this reason I only ate in pool bar once. Plenty of nearby places to get snacks etc. Would stay here again as so reasonably priced.

Mrs D Cavanagh, Linoln

Dirty pool and pool area, never saw pool being cleaned for whole 2 weeks, most of parasols did not work due to cords and pins missing, leaking kettle, not enough kitchen items for 4 people, miserable bar man, bar understaffed, owner too busy to sort anything out and hardly ever there, only bath towels no hand towels, numerous lights not working in apartment, owner seems to think because it's only 2 star that these things are acceptable. Plus points central location, close to nice small beach, supermarket across road, good size 2 bedroom apartment, huge balcony, nice grounds and garden, very large pool and plenty of sunbeds and good food in pool bar. Some TLC, could be great.

Mr P Richardson, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Helpful, clean and friendly. Good central location and value for money. Pool bar and food very good.

Miss E Culbert, Antrim

Stayed at these apartments for a fortnight from the 24th June till the 8th July with my partner. The owner welcomed us on arrival and explained to us how his self catering would work at his apartments. Having read reviews on the towel and bed clothes (how often they were changed, I knew what to expect). Sheets were changed about 3 times in the fortnight which was fine as we were never in the room that much anyway and anytime I did lie down on the bed for a wee siesta during the day I just threw a blanket (which was in the room) on top of the bed to keep it clean. And as I showered in the evening I was clean getting into bed at night. Towels were changed about 4 times in the fortnight which was fine by me as I had brought two of my own anyway. Air con is a must and was priced at 120 euro for the fortnight. Safety deposit box was 40 euro and 20 euro was refunded on departure so was quite cheap really. The pool area was spacious and a wonderful large pool to keep cool. If your going to Pefkos soon I would advise you to pack 30 and 50 factors as it was very hot then and the temperature is rising well into the forties now in July and August. Danny the Chef cooks excellent well prepared meals which are freshly prepared and of a high standard for poolside eating. Diane and Lucy the bar staff were wonderful and greeted us with a smile and were pleasant to us at all times. Thank you. Ate at the Colosseum Restaurant only the once ( food was great) as we liked to try all the different restaurants on other nights. Location was excellent as we were right in the town of Pefkos and 300 yards from St Thomas' Beach and also handy to the bus stop which was situated near enough right outside the Colossium Apartments at Pefkos by Night Bar. We booked 3 excursions for the fortnight with the travel company which was situated right outside the Colosseum entrance. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the travel company but it was the one on the left nearest the supermarket. Tim the tour guide was an excellent Rep and kept us entertained on our journey into Rhodes by Night trip by telling us information on the surrounding villages and landmarks on our hours journey, great night out and a chance to see beautiful Rhodes Town. Wear flat comfortable shoes as a lot of the streets are cobbled. Besides that trip we went to the Waterpark (free bus outside the Pefkos by Night Bar at 9.15am on a air conditioned coach and picked up again at 5.00pm). Brill park, wee tip, buy the white socks they sell as the ground is roasting and very uncomfortable all day in bare feet. Rhodes Island Tour (Whistletop tour as I called it, with Tim once again our tour Rep) was a great day out and we got to see the beautiful south of the island which includes the Valley of the Butterflies (again wear flat shoes not flip flops as it is very cobbled and hilly) and a trip to Prasonisi where the Aegean and the Mediterranean Seas meet, amazing to see, unbelievable. Scenery en route up in the mountains was stunning. Lazy day boat trip was brill. Four stops to swim in the sea and lunch at Charaki Harbour. Go to Bottoms Up. Pork Chops on the bone are to die for. You get two of them per person with salad and chips. It took me nearly 35 minutes to finish it all, greedy me. My favourite restaurant in Pefkos was Dama Dama on the Lee Beach Road. Better to book in advance if you don't want to be disappointed. Family run restaurant and lovely atmosphere. The staff are wonderful and so pleasant and helpful. Overall a fantastic holiday and apartment location. Would like to thank Paul the owner once again for calling the airport and arranging for my personal items to be returned to me two days after arriving. My suitcase burst open at the Airport Carousel and my most prized possession was missing, my expensive GHD straighteners (oh my, as you can imagine ladies, two weeks without them, hell) as well as a lot of other items. Couldn't believe I got everything back, so thank you Paul, you were so helpful. Will be back next year to your restaurant for that Pork Chop. Will be returning to Pefkos again but maybe earlier or late September as it would be slightly cooler on my wee Irish skin. Hope this review helps someone have a lovely holiday. Paul says hello to you Paul as do I, enjoy your summer.

Mr A Allen, Waltham Abbey

Really nice apartment, basic. Paul and staff really nice, very helpful. Had a lovely holiday.

Mr A Dias, Stockton-on-tees

Staff fantastic.

Miss S Onraet, Wokingham

Perfect location. Lovely pool. Basic but very clean.

Mr A Smailes, Wrexham

Although I heard of complaints about the rooms, our party was quite happy. If you go self-catering in any part of Greece it is no worse. Location is ideal. The main pool can be too deep for some people and children but very clean. Paul the owner might appear aggressive to some people but that is American upbringing. Overall would gladly go back. Stayed in room 3. Cool in the summer, ideal for children.
