This was our third stay at The Kanali, and the first time we were able to stay for 2 weeks. Nikos, Spiros, George, Kelly & Peri and all of the rest of the hardworking staff are the best hosts you could ever wish for. The apartment was the same one we stayed in July 2011 (308) so it was just like ‘coming home’. Since our last holiday the shower has been upgraded – WOW!! A glass fronted enclosure so no soggy shower curtain. Superb!! As an additional touch there are little complimentary soaps and shampoos for you in the bathroom – lovely.
Studios cater for up to 3 people. There are 3 proper single beds and there are 3 of all cutlery, cups, glasses, plates etc. On arrival, the towels were made into butterflies on our beds, which was another lovely touch.
The air con has a sensor, located on the sliding doors to the balcony, which shuts off the air-con when the door is open, which is a very sensible idea. If someone in the room wants the air con on and another person wants to sit outside on the balcony admiring the stunning views, simply close the sliding door.
The cleaning team are as efficient as ever, coming in 3 times a week. Wifi is free throughout the apartments although I did have a few problems staying connected with my laptop at times but that’s to be expected. Air con is 40 euros per week and is excellent value for money and a real must in the summer months.
The swimming pool is lovely and clean and is open from 9am-7pm. There is a smaller kiddies pool and a larger pool next to it. There are loads of sun-loungers and sun shades around the pool as well as some set back slightly on a grassy area. Do be aware, however, that there is no lifeguard and children often jump in without looking first!
Reception at the Kanali is open all day (08:00 – 00:00) and is manned 10:00-12:00 and 18:00-20:00. Outside of these hours, if you need anything at all the staff at The Aquarius Bar and Restaurant will soon sort you out.
The site itself is beautiful (lots of gorgeous flowers and the grass is mowed regularly) however, the only real downside was the beds (quite hard).
