Umbrella Beach Apartments

Good: We went to Kaovs with 10 lads from blackburn and when we got there i was pleasantly surprised because it was only 2 and half star or what eva. The room we had was a four and was very good clean (until we spent 2 week in it) had everything we needed. The hotel itself was great, right on the beach which isnt ewt special but a gd way of finding your way home at night! The pool was great and the food also was good and the people theres were funny if not a bit resentful to english haha Babis is your pool man and serves at bar, absolute legend, will let you do just about ewt, plays ur own cds what eva. Overall was a great place to stay good atmosphere need the strip clean and a good rep!

Bad: the smell sumtimes but was same everywere.

the prices you have to pay if u break anything

We booked this holiday as a last minute deal in October and when we arrived we were shocked to discover our apartment was absolutely filthy and our rooms incredibly uncomfortable. We complained to the hotel who just shrugged it off. After two nights however, our apartment was broken into and we were robbed. We arrived back just in time to scare off the burglars but our lock was busted and during the night we heard someone trying to break in through the window again. The Umbrella Apartments was a disgusting place; we informed the hotel manager who didn't care at all and were moved the next day to a hotel in Sidari (a lovely resort in the north of the Island) where we filed a police complaint and tried to put our experience at the Umbrella Apartment behind us.

We all thought that the Umbrella Beach Apartments were appalling, no other way to describe it!! What wasn't a bad point..

We found the hotel staff to be unhelpful and unfriendly.

The travel rep was OK but rarely ever there!

We had many problems staying here, we stayed for two weeks.. see above for details.

Despite the hotel, We all Had a Great Holidayyyyy :D:D

I travelled to this hotel on 4th July with 7 other girls. We arrived at 7 in the morning after travelling all night and were a bit worried after seeing some of the other places others had been dropped off at before us. However once we arrived we were pleasantly surprised. We had the rooms overlooking the pool that are like 2 floor apartments and had huge balconies that we watched the sunrise on.

The rooms: very clean when you first arrived but sheets and towels only changed once a week even if you offer to pay. There is a list of prices on the wall for breakages but we lost a key and it only cost 5 euros to replace and we dropped millions of glasses and never got charged for them. Its strange not being able to flush the toilet paper and the maid doesn't like coming into your room if you are asleep so make sure you try to get up to get the bin emptied. We had to pay 35 euros for the fan and safety deposit box but a lack of air conditioning made the fan essential and we weren't going to risk our spends for 5 euros each!

We paid 40 euros between 8 of us to keep one of our rooms on till 8pm as we weren't getting picked up until 23.45 this was definitely worth it as the toilets by the pool were not very nice and non of us fancied getting dressed in them!

The pool: the pool is owned separately from the hotel as it seems are most of the pools in Kavos! They are open to everyone but we never saw anyone not from the hotel at the pool. There are plenty of sunbeds that are free of charge and are cleaned everynight by the owner. Please be aware that you are not allowed to eat your own food or drink by the pool. He isn't being greedy its something to do with tax and it seemed like he felt a bit uncomfortable asking us to take it away so please don't. The food is delicious by the pool and drinks aren't expensive.

The pool is very clean and he washed your feet if you come up from the beach to make sure it stays sand free. This pool is the mans pride and joy so everywhere is spotless unlike the beach which is disgusting. My friend got glass in her foot that cost 65 euros at the doctors and the water looks disgusting so we steered well clear!

Overall we all loved this hotel and it would have been perfect if it had air conditioning as it was 42 degrees when we were there and this made sleeping after a night out very uncomfortable.

Had the best holiday ever at the Umbrella Beach Apartments, Kavos, went in July last summer, it was mental. Love Rockys and Buzz bar and can't wait to go again. The reps were ace and we loved the bar crawls. Everyone was friendly and hope 2 see them there again.

Fantastic value for money, the accommodation was very basic but comfortable and clean. All staff were very friendly and really made our holiday for us. We were really disappointed with the beach as this was not very clean and looked nothing like the pictures in the brochures, however with a pool area as clean as this one there was no need to visit the beach. The barman and his wife very friendly and helpful, they also cook a mean English breakfast!

We went at the end of the season which meant Kavos was extremely quiet - most of the bars and clubs had closed, but we wanted a quiet holiday anyway. The only down point for the holiday were the reps, we found them not very helpful and sometimes rude and impatient, there was no organisation for the airport transfers which meant that travellers were kept queuing outside the airport for up to 4 hours in the early hours of the morning (us included). Maybe as it was coming to the end of the season they had had enough, I would have still expected the service promised though no matter what time of year it is!

I would definitely stay here again but unfortunately won't get the chance as we both refuse to ever use Olympic Holidays again due to the reps. Other than that a fantastic holiday.

I would definitely choose to stay at the Umbrella Beach again, it was perfect, I loved every minute. By far the nicest and cleanest apartments.

I'm going to the Umbrella Beach Apartments in Kavos in about 3 weeks with my boyfriend and another couple. I was just wondering if any other couples have stayed there. What's it like? Did you feel excluded for not being single?

We are really worried that we aren't going to enjoy it. Please leave me any comments. Thank you

Umbrella Beach Apartments was brilliant, the maisonette balcony over looks the pool, bar and sea all in the same eye, the pool was modern and clean. The welcome was brilliant, I would recommend it any time, go have a holiday of your own to see guarantee u will not be disappointed, it is 5 minutes away from the nightlife, yet it is far enough, to not near the noise and is also good for children with a children's pool 10/10
