Hi All,
After reading and watching this wonderful site I've desided I NEED to go there! Please would you be so kind as to help me to choose accomodation? I'm looking for self-catering apartments for myself, my husband and 4 y.o. daughter. We are planning to go in June, need nice clean place with pool and air-con, preferably not too far from the beach. Another thing - who's the best operator for package holidays in Arillas?
Many thanks!!
Hi Ollie. Have a look through the accommodation section, it`s very helpful. I`m sure you`ll find lots to guide you through it. If I can be any help, feel free to PM me. All the best.
Thanks Lindypops, I'm looking at Kaloudis Village now - any cons there? I've read feedback on this forum, looks good.
Hello Ollie
Kaloudis is fantastic, i've been there 5 times and just a 20 metre walk down to the beach.
But i must also say it doesn't matter where you stay in ARILLAS, Every where is great and they all make you feel welcome.
Where ever you go you will love it.

Thanks Riggers, I hope to go in June - what's the weather will be like? Don't want it to be too hot as my daughter never been anywhare hot, but don't want it to rain either.
We there for 2 weeks in June.
The weather has always been good in June. ( except the odd day, when it soon clears up).
Great Pool at the Kaloudis aswell
Riggers.
Hi Ollie I think Kaloudis will be a great choice for you with you'r little girl, it has good accomodation a nice shop on site and a great pool and usually lots of other children for her to play with,we have stayed there on and off several times over the years.
You will have a fab time

Hi
I think Kaloudis. We were there for 2 weeks last september 07 good accomodation all a/c. If you look in accommodation reviews it will tell you about Kaloudis. I think Thomsons who use this accommodation are only having night flights in 2008, but you had best check this out. Last year (07) it was day flights and some night flights. Some people don't mind flying at night but it can be a bit difficult with small children as they get really tired. Manos are doing really early flights for 2008. Good luck - I am sure you will find something.

Hi Ollie
I can also definitley recommend Kaloudis. We have been going there since with my daughter since she was three. I wouldn't say anywhere else.

We stayed at Kaloudis in last week of October 2007, but have visited their pool bar nearly every day of our four other holidays in Arillas coming off the beach to get a cold beer. Jen and me are at the other end - I just retired and our boys are 26.
The Kaloudis is PERFECT for a young family. Everyting you need is close at hand, and the people are typically Greek and welcoming. You will have chosen well to go there.
Enjoy Arillas - you'll be back!!!
You`ll find plenty of info Ollie. You`ll have a great holiday.
Thanks for your replies everyone, much appreciated.
My dear husband's aking - is there any entertaining at night time? Not in-your-face thing, but something somewhere so we can enjoy ourselves?
There are The Coconut and Malibu Bars right next to each other in the village and there is always something going on like a good time, happy faces and a sing along depending on your vocal skills or lack of them ;)
Seriously, nice and and easy describes it the best in Arillas.
There are also a few places do a Greek Night once a week which are good. Viv
The Horizon Restaurant did Greek Nights and also a Latin (salsa etc, not flamenco night) which was great, but that might change this year if they dont get booked. Some of the accommodations might have a quiz night by their bar. The Thassala did jazz nights which were good, the singer was brilliant. The usual TV (sky stuff), last year at the Malibu bar there was a Frank Sinatra singer (came from Hastings) and he was very good, sometimes there is a magic show which some have enjoyed. But there are only two bars so there isnt a lot going on which is why a lot of people keep going back. You might not want that sort of thing every night but for a change there is something if you want it.
Whatever you choose you will have a great time, it is a very special place and great for any age. We went for a walk up to the Kaloudis, (we have stayed at the Galini and the Bardis Studios.the Galini much better for kids I think but further from the sea) its the far end of the sea front before the cliff walk and it is a nice looking place with apartments in blocks, nice pool fenced off for safety and lovely bar area. Shop too... two mins to the beach in a quiet part of the resort as it doesnt get much traffic (dead end).
Have fun... I am so envious of everyone at the moment booking holidays. We dont know what we are doing yet with moving, decorating, kids coming back and forwards. Perhaps I should just do it and let everything else fall into place.
we have stayed at the kaloudis village now for the past 11 years going again twice this year, in May with our two grandchildren and September just my wife and myself we would,nt go anywhere else ,very clean ,small supermarket on site, roula makes everyone welcome,pool with childrens area and good meals served in the bar area i think you will enjoy it as arillas is that kind of place
There is a mountain of information on this forum about Arillas.
All of it will lend a hand in making your choice.
All I am going to recommend is that you book up and get the Holiday sorted.
We found Arillas after booking a late deal, (allocated on arrival).
We were not disappointed and I'm sure you will not be disappointed.
Arillas is the best place that we have found and we cant wait to get back, roll on May.
In terms of the weather, we went for about 5 years on the run in June and it was scorching, infact better than August when it can eb a bit thundery at times.
