Greek Odyssey *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

Embodiment of a Greek Odyssey wanted, was already in the first ten minutes clear. The fact is there is nothing, which is nice to speak. We had booked the hotel in April, as a large family room with two rooms, the act together by a connecting door. The second king bed was nearly two feet for our son. A month before our departure from our travel agent emailed 'customers' , so that our booked room wasn't available, as it is advertised. In hindsight turned out, there was no such rooms in the hotel. We have at this stage of the tour operators offered to change. But they assured us, that the room was a 'suite' we got. We have transferred to this time, then we would be a bit annoying. When we arrived we were put off, that our booked suite is available until the next day. After our arrival we went eating and after the sight moldy plums at the buffet, is our appetite passed for the rest of the day. We were put off with another room. It consisted of a double bed and an extra bed. The room was by the pool, so the location on the ground floor, some beach chairs in front of our room. So we were on display. As soon as we have the curtains closed, we had no Daylight more. However, this was the only way not to be relaxed. It came highly deliziöse dead cockroach in front of the entrance there, which in the end was the lesser evil. The ceiling in the bathroom was literally on the head and from your phone next to the toilet, hitting out, which in combination with the humidity are definitely not dangerous. On the next day someone called, that an employee pick our luggage. A grumpy man came and took only one suit-cases, this does not mean that I had to take the remaining bags so line with a car, we our bags to the new room. Instead of a walk through the gardens to choose, we had to literally a humiliation and with our luggage at the edge of the pool, at all of the guests. We enjoyed our supposedly suite, as once again everything hard to top. The room itself was larger, but it consisted of a double bed and once again with an extra bed. No major change, apart from the location of the hotel on the second floor of the main building.! after closer inspection the Greek Odyssey began took their course. The Murphy bed was my son only up to the knees, so that a decent night's sleep was not to be thought. At the next corner we saw, and that the plaster mold growing on the wall. So what is a two star in a five-star hotel acceptable! It is simply harmful and as asthmatic and allergic you don't expect. Both beds were in the immediate vicinity of the mold. As soon as you walked into the room, you could smell the mold already. Just as in other rooms and the hotel itself. The whole hotel stank. From the dining room over the hotel corridors. Of the mold in the room you get a throat! Behind one of the nightstands, we have achieved a plastic cups, other trash and bugs nest. In further drawers was another trash, tickets and packaging of iphones. There has been no cleaning staff cleaned well. So the key out of the safe, I have learnt, I had the whole castle in the hand, which not of high quality and safety. In the bathroom there was no deduction, which moved any smells nor the moisture out of the room. So you could explain, as the wallpaper was resolved. It was almost sad to see, as this wretched with scrap was glued together. We wanted at this stage as quickly as possible, the hotel to leave, but this was not possible to a Sunday. We would definitely not have stayed in that room, so we got a new room (!! 3). You have to keep in mind, that the hotel mold room the next day at other hotel guests have rented. The new room was, apart from the ungeleertem trash the first room, which was for Greek relationship was clean. However, it smelled also here to communicate in foreign languages. We have seen it first, until we have seen, this was painted. The room was directly above the pool, so we bother from the evening entertainment were immense. There was a room with a window to the hallway aligned. The whole night lights. The way to the beach leads only 400 meters on a good dirt road, which was quite dirty. Empty plastic bottles and a rare sight tires. After a moderate busy street crossing, you could reach the beach section, which belongs to the hotel. The water was beautifully clear and clean. The beach chairs were in order and free of charge. However there is no possibility to buy drinks at the beach or bottles to carry forward, since the drinks in bottles may not do. On the way back we wanted to go to the pool, but it was not enough chairs for the patch guests. The food is okay, but nothing special and very European. Partly anyway not really fresh. The ice cream is rather artificial and the drinks are different. Wine and beer are pretty good, so you can't complain. Drinks such as coke, sprite etc. tasted at each machine and were mostly empty. Either extremely sweet or very watery. To drink one could not, since the drink ants came from the vending machine. If one wanted a orange juice you got a kind Fanta. The breakfast has made coffee consisted of coffee and milk powder. When I called a cocktail, this consisted of vodka, water and Fruchtsirups. The young waiters, clearing the dishes were quite friendly, in contrast to the rest of the hotel staff. The woman at the reception changed with a few words, you can count on one hand. Moreover, they began to ask the ignorant play, who spoke from minute to minute no German or English. With complaints they didn't answer the phone or started immediately in to tell us, that they can help us unfortunately not recommend. When we checked out the wife has not even looked at, let alone a 'Hello brought up' only in the third room we found a sign for the cleaning ladies, the first morning there we were woken by a. In the second room the remote control was fixed with Scotch tape and the last room the remote control was completely run-down. The tv reception was poor, so no picture on the most channels was evident. None of the beds was covered with a mattress covers. In a season to 100 guests sleep in a bed and in a country with hot climatic conditions the people sweat, which stretches back to the mattresses. Furthermore, the level, which ultimately ends up in the mattress ends. Without that covers hygiene is not guaranteed, since there was a normal schoner simply wash hot and therefore can kill the sweat, the bacteria and other particles from the previous. Since there was no disco or similar youth was available, the outdoor area was used for pleasure and to twelve loud music was played. At the pool, they played music from two different plants, but the the other tried to drown out, we have to tell us when we ate communication! Only place we were told, that the hotel is in Italian and also this 70% of the hotel show. From the relaxation area was promised little far and wide nothing to see. The activities were only for Italians. The hotel itself is quite dirty and dirty. The cleaning staff had no laundry carts, but throw your laundry on the floor. On the way into our rooms were on the ground or other storage space! A week! Dirty dishes, as well as by the pool or in the dining room only at the end of the day it was cleaned. We judged this hotel certainly not too hard, have been to many hotels, accommodation and camping sites and know what standard means. But in order to reassure: the weather is spectacular ☺ Nevertheless you will see, very many abandoned buildings that Greece and is quite dirty. After our move into the third room started to smell, as soon as you opened the door has made. It is a smoking room, which we definitely did not book. Also if you need to stay in this room, the air conditioning was switched off, the wells and installations rather loud. As well as the Club disco until 12, in order to understand had to shout at each other in the room! After the Tour operator promised on several occasions, it reported on the three day, we charge of 180 €per person into another hotel (Lutania beach) to move. A joke, that you have to pay, if you will be accommodated in a mold room. Our consultant from Baden-Baden could help us with no telephone calls with the guide books not. Our travel agent told us, that all other hotels were written off, since it would not be possible to accommodate a higher category hotel, as the price we paid, would not be enough. They kept the option in the case of a free room and the mare Palace in kalithea to change. In a speech of the channels RTL the 24 August 2011 in this hotel a scandal cleared up with contaminated drinking water. On our second conversation was made a note and some of the writing was firmly held. Unfortunately we had full two weeks in the hotel. The chaos, it was impossible to arrive at a mental on holiday. The hotel made me theme evenings, which looked at the end so, that three animators dressed and welcomes the guests. During the holidays were assumption large feast, which was really nicely presented, however, there were not enough seats for all guests. In the restaurant there was nothing unusual, though the food was cold and burned or cats on the tables around. The cutlery was often dirty with leftovers. As already mentioned one could compare the music at dinner with a disco. During dinner was the one or the other time a chair collapsed under the backside, the gracious from the hotel to the edge has been made. The chairs also spent the rest of our stay. Also sick on the way to the breakfast did not remain saved for us. In the evening before someone could not speak, but cleaning up on the idea, the sick in the lobby a few hours have passed wegzuputzen. If you want to eat outside this is almost not possible. The hotel is a bit out of the way. In the next village there are ten minutes by taxi and other city like faliraki minutes 20. You have to spend your stay just there, if one wasn't mobile. The attempt to rely on a bus to come out of nowhere, failed miserably, because the driver drove past several times to us. '
