| said: We had the pleasure of staying in these self catering studios/apartments for 1 week in september 07.
We had a really great time. The accomodation was excellent. It had a great location, the beach,shops,bars and restaurants all being just a stones throw away.
The studio facilities were very good, extremely clean and well equipped, enough to have a good self catering holiday. Maid service very good, always had clean bedding,towels and bin changes e.t.c
The pool area was very good, with a big pool and kiddy pool, well maintained and again clean.
Staff at this accomodation were really helpful, and nothing was too much trouble.
We were self catering, but ate some meals in the accomodation snack bar which was lovely and reasonably priced.
There was some entertainment on if you wanted it but we chose to go out each evening.
Overall a wonderful holiday,and we would definitely come back to the same resort and accomodation without a doubt.

| said: This was our 3rd visit to the Alykanas Beach and they have managed to give us the same room now on each visit,2nd time by chance,3rd time by request.
The rooms are plenty big enough and kept clean on a daily basis.
The location is superb right on the beach which is also very clean.
The food at the snack bar has always been to a very good standard, and the staff well we cannot rate them high enough they are like most Greek people we have met and made friends with over the years on this island just very nice people and nothing is to much trouble.
The entertainment on site is varied and to bad but the good thing is the music normally stops around midnight so everybody gets a chance of some sleep, especially the children.
My wife and I will definately be returning to this accomodation in the future sooner rather than later.

| said: Alykanas Beach Apart-hotel was a very good base for our holiday. The reception staff were very polite and helpful. The pool area was kept spotless there were also ample sunbeds and umbrellas. You are spoilt to have the beach so close.
The rooms were spacious and very clean, maid came everyday and towels changed at least every other. Even if you were in your room they mopped the floor.
The food at the hotel was good although we did not eat there very much because the resort had loads of restuarants to choose from and plenty of supermarkets to buy water and snacky items.
Entertainment was very low key. Nothing to do for the kids in the evening, entertainment did not start until 10pm.
Book trips locally - cheaper. Overall would definitely go back.
We had a wonderful holiday - very relaxing.

| said: Just returned from a fantastic holiday at the Alykanas Beach Aparthotel.
The hotel was very clean, especially the pool area. The maids came every day and were very friendly (sometimes a little noisy, outside our room, early in the morning whilst they were having a good gossip to each other but apart from that, they were really nice!).
The staff/bar staff/waiters/waitresses were really friendly and the service was always with a smile.
However, apart from the breakfast and the garlic chips, the snacks in the bar were not brilliant which resulted in us eating elswhere for our snacks. The sandwiches/toasties were very dry and even though we love cheese, the pizzas were too sickly due to an excessive amount of cheese on them.
We could not have been in a better location, right next to the beach overlooking Kefelonia.
Every day, we sat right next to the sea, drinking wine, it was fabulous!
Most bars and tavernas are within walking distance too.
The best part of the entertainment is the Greek night on a Monday. This includes a bbq meal, which was nice and included various meats, chips, salad etc.
A free drink of wine (in a plastic cup), Greek dancing, a fire display and fireworks.
We had a really great night, especially as the dancers are keen on everyone getting up to dance.
One word of caution, ladies, wear trousers! My daughter and I were constantly spun around in the air by the two male dancers. Not good if you are wearing a short skirt!
As for the other entertainment, it's ok.
Bingo, play your cards right and quizzes. We did not rate the Zante swing night though.
We would definitely visit this hotel again.
However, it was an expensive holiday (£2,600 for a family of four) and we soon realised that there are plenty of smaller, less expensive, equally as nice apartments elsewhere in Alykanas.
Having spent some time at another complex (for a change of scenery), and talking to some of their guests, we realised that we could have got a cheaper deal than what we'd paid, stayed in a less busy place but also used the facilites of
the Alykanas Beach if we wanted.
But overall, a fantastic holiday on a lovely complex. Would definitely recommend.

| said: This is complex was not only clean, you could have eaten your meals off the floors. Not a bit of dirt or rubbish any where. Even the public loos were spotless. The rooms were cleaned everyday and we had clean towels every day.
The food was great value and served to you overlooking the sea if you wanted to.
The location could not be topped. It is right on the beach. Golden sand, clear sea and very safe for children.
The staff were great all in uniform, very well presented and very friendly. All spoke very good english. They had great fun mixing in with the children and teenagers.
Considering i had not expected entertainment it was a very good, the children loved it, and the pool tables, my dad liked the Rat Pack singers.

| said: We booked this hotel by mistake! We thought we'd booked the Alykanas Beach Apartments (Airtours) (next Door)however we were so glad we got it wrong!
The Hotel was excellent - you couldn't fault the staff or facilities. The Rooms were lovely - 3 adults in a room 2 singles and a sofabed. Bathroom very well furnished and clean.
The kitchen area was very small but had the basics but not much workspace. Rooms cleaned daily, towels and linen changed often as you needed. The pool area is great with ample sunbeds.
This property is right on the beach so you have the best of both worlds and the restaurants were only a few minutes walk away.
