sunfun, there are more people on this forum who are real Arillas experts.

As a first timer, take my advice. Smile and chat with all the business owners/staff. Slow down and take your time. Expect little and you will get lots. Eat the wonderful food. Go and give the cook a hug if you really enjoyed. Meet people and chat. Watch the gorgeous sunsets with others. Chill, relax, enjoy. There's hundreds of us who have done that.

Il say.
The biggest problem I have is getting the bill at the end of a meal.

But then who is in a hurry ?

Not me ))

to justphil.we spent the first 2 days of our holiday just talking to the reps trying our best to sort it out. the last thing that we wanted was to spend our first 2 days without unpacking cause there was nowhere to put our clothes and all we wanted was for the apartment to be cleaned

We came back from Arillas on 26th June and stayed opposite Kokinos at Dimitra Studios. Artemis Cafe was shut!

We spoke to a couple who stayed at Kokinos on the top floor and the kareoke (not speld rite...) kept them awake at night......(It was from The Coconut or Malibu, which was a long way off but it was VERY LOUD!)

Hi Cheryl,have sent you an email

Hi all
Not been on line for ages, but have to come on to say that we have stayed at Kokinos three times in the last five years in the upsatiars two bed appartments. We have booked again for this year as we have always found it to be okay. The folks are always helpful and we have never had any problems with anything at the apartments.

As for Arillas we just think it is brilliant and cannot wait to go back, went to Skiathos in May but have to say Arillas has the edge on when it comes to being chilled out.

cheers, yammas

Thanks a lot beachlover.Glad to hear it.You've put our minds at rest a bit.Cheers!

sunfun · July 16, 2009, 01:04:22 PM

Have been told by thomas cook that their accomodations are all up to standard.Asked them if they would move us if it was not,but they will not commit to that,just saying that the places are checked regularly and they work in close liaison with the reps and owners.Hopefully all will be well!
We'll just have to wait and see how lynchan gets on.

Smiffypink · July 16, 2009, 04:41:08 PM

Hi Sunfun,

You say you messaged the Arillas expert on Trip Advisor, that is indeed our dear Eileen off this forum too, im sure she will be able to put your mind at rest when she replies to you.

What date are you travelling to Arillas??

sunfun · July 16, 2009, 05:34:17 PM

Hi,we're going on 9th of october,so there's plenty of time for it to be sorted.Hope the weather's still good then!Have you ever been so late on?
Anyway,we're not going to worry about it,we'll just go with the flow.
It's only a base after all.but obviosly we want it to be clean!
