We have just come back from a week long stay at Angelos Village and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. It is exactly as described - basic but very comfortable. The bungalows are lovely, really comfy and totally spotless. We had bed & breakfast & the breakfast was fine -plenty to set you up for the day. The pool area was great and my friend and I felt very comfortable lying around there for the day. The Hotel is set back up from the main road, on a hill, but that helps walk off all the lovely food! There is a nice Taverna at the bottom of the road which was as good as anywhere else. We weren't too keen on Hersonissos itself, a bit too commercial but nearer the Harbour seemed nice. The beach nearest the hotel is Star beach and that was really quite nice (once you walked through all the bars and water slides!). Mostly we went to the nearby villages which were wonderful. about 6 euro in a cab or a 15 - 20 minute walk. There were so many lovely restaurants up there you really could eat somewhere different every night.
I'm leaving the best to last and that was really the staff and the hotel itself. I have never felt so comfortable anywhere on holidays before. My friend and I were both used to having quite different holidays, hers more resort style, me more city or traveling around type breaks. We both felt so at home and relaxed due to the really chilled out atmosphere and the wonderful staff. They were always on hand to help but never in your face. When we both got badly bitten by mosquitos (our own silly faults!) and they couldn't have been more helpful. Everyone was brilliant, espcially Harria and the wonderful Gregg behind the bar. He was always on hand to get what you needed (more wine!) and to have a good giggle!
I don't usually go to the same place twice but my friend and I would go back to Angelos Village again for a proper relaxing break. Jacqui & Ber (Brighton & Cork)
