Hello all, firstly, apologies for not writing this review sooner (we were Arillas virgins August 2007!); especially after all the effort everyone made trying to find some info on these apartments - so here goes.
Yiannis apartments are next to Thomas's fish restaurant (Vavilas), set back slighty from the road. It is recently built, and finished to a very good standard. We had 2 double rooms, interlinked by a door; and because they were 2 separate rooms, we had 2 of everything - 2 showers, 2 toilets, 2 fridges etc. The rooms are very spacious, with more than adequate self catering facilities and a large balcony overlooking the tomato vines (I think most rooms face this way and if you are on the upper floor as we were, you have a lovely view of Arillas). The rooms were clean, well kept during our stay, and nothing was too much trouble for Yiannis. The only negative I can say is that the rooms didn't have air conditioning last year, although the 'pipework' was in place and Yiannis told us that he would be having air con fitted in the near future. We hired 2 large electric fans just to keep the air circulating at night.There were mosquito nets over the beds (a must in high season), but I think these apartments would benefit from mozzie screens on the balcony doors. Tip of the day - Dont Forget Your Mozzie Repellent and Bite Remedy - if you've missed a bit of skin with repellent, the little buggers will find it and feast! Back to the review - Half way through our first week, there was a knock at the door one glorious morning; Yiannis had come bearing gifts of fresh tomatoes from the vine that morning (I watched one of his family picking them while my kids slept and I sipped my coffee!), and also a huge tub of olives. Whether this is an ongoing ritual with guests I'm not sure, but fresh bread, tomatoes, olives and omlettes for brekkie set us up for the day. All in all, very nice apartments, clean and comfortable - a pool would have been nice, but you can use any of the pools in other hotels, and theres one slap bang next door at the Vavilas apartments. We spent most of our time at the Bardis Sun, the Marvel and the Horizon pools. By the way, as Yiannis apartments are self catering, there are no bar/snack facilities, but we didn't find this a problem once we'd stocked the fridge.
