Bad Points

Expensive food, only ONE toilet roll ALL HOLIDAY, dirty Pool, narky reps.


General Comments

I enjoyed my holiday to Faliraki. The rooms were basic however we only received one toilet roll ALL holiday. If we wanted another toilet roll we had to go down to mama's shop and buy one there. The towels were also dirty and out of shape, the towel I received on day 3 was full of black marks and my friends towel only fitted around her front. The only thing that the maids do in your room all week is change the bins. That was it. We also had to lock ourselves in our room all of the time because the door handle was faulty and the strong winds kept on blowing it open.
I must also say that nearly EVERY SINGLE sunlounger around the pool is BROKEN!!and the pool is often very cloudy and dirty.
The food that the Hillside provides is also very expensive. Your looking at paying nearly double to what you would pay down in the town itself. It was very difficult to get away from the Hillside during the day because of the fact that you are so far away from everywhere! You have to pay 7 euro if you call a cab from the apartments and 5 euro from the taxi rank back to apartments. It is a good taxi service however it can mount up, especially if you are looking at going to the beach and then coming back and going back out into the town a few times during your stay. You can walk however you are looking at a good 30-40 minute walk.
If you go 18-30 I would not pay for the excursions because they are in my opinion a waste of time and money. The reps opinion of your 'FREE' bar is basically them taking your money off you to buy the drink so at the end of the day it isn't 'FREE', its just a waste of money, including the food which is basic, especially the BBQ's and the 'Traditional Greek' meal. I have to give it to the reps that they do work hard however, at the end of the day you expect certain standards to be met and they weren't even in the slightest.
I could go on and on but I think enough has been said.
