Equipment in the Kaloudis is very basic. We enjoyed two holidays there, but it is VERY basic. We have had two different apartments - a three bedroom and a two bedroom and the bathrooms are tiny with fiddly little showers which makes it difficult when you are trying to wash a young child. We don't cook on holiday so the lack of kitchen facilities didn't bother us, but to be honest, after reading all the wonderful reviews on here we expected something better.

The location is brilliant and the pool area is also great, but after holidaying somewhere else this year, it really brought home just how rudimentary the Kaloudis is.

We stayed in one of the 2 bedroom apartments last year and I thought they were great.  Lovely views over a beautiful garden.  They had everything we needed and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

The kaloudis is fab - we love it and go back year after year!!

The people who go there are lovely and Billy, Helen, Dimitri and Vassilli who run it are wonderful.

The apartments are spotless, and no more basic than anywhere else in Greece.  The grounds are kept beautiful and the pool and pool bar is superb - the food at Splish Splash is gorgeous - especially in the evening, and Billy often runs entertainment or activities to make it even more fun.

You will not regret going - but you may get hooked and then you won't want to go anywhere else - like us!!

Have a fab time - we'll be back there in 3 weeks - can't wait!!

It's great to have the "good" and "not so good" in any Appt/Hotel review, espcially when these reviews are well written. It's then down to future potential guests to take and analyse everything written to see if it's the place for them or ticks as many of their boxes as possible.

That's why the Forum is so popular.
Keep it up y'all and always say what you like and what could have been better.

Cheers

Been going to Kaloudis since 1998 and would not go anywhere else. Christo, Roula, Billy and Helen are now our Greek relations. Looking forward to returning in two weeks to meet everyone we now know there.

Kaloudis is still here. Many people have been enjoying it and telling us about it. Phil and Jen just haven't had time to get there yet. Two weeks is too b****y short!

Truth is people must make their own choices. We would stay in a tent on the beach, but what we do is try to share out our little bit of spending all around. Brouklis is as fabulous as all the reviews. Will be posting more when I "go abroad."

bob w we understand that completely. Some say to us "you're not tourists, you're family." Says it all really....

We stayed at the Kouloudis this July and were a little disappointed. 

The rooms were kept lovely and clean.  The Kitchen equipment is very basic (it took half an hour to do a piece of toast under the grill).  The gardens are kept lovely and also the pool.  We were right at the back and found that there is alot of noise from the bar, often till about 3am.  This meant on some nights where we came back early, we had to shut the double glazed door so that we could sleep.  This made it hot, so we had to pay out for air conditioning. 

We didn't make regular use of the bar as we found it a little more expensive than others in the resort.  It did feel as if the owner just wanted as much money out of us as possible and wasn't happy if you weren't spending with him, perhaps we were a little paranoid about this!!!  On the whole we would consider going back to Arillas but not this studio/appartment. 

Finally a really good taverna to go to for breakfast or evening meal and drinks is Helens, which is past the sea breeze out of the resort .  It is the first taverna you come to on the right just past the Bardis Sun. It only opened this July by a local family but is really good fun and good value.
