Emmanouel Studios

We had two rooms here, one sleeping 3 people and the other 4. The 4 person room was fantastic. It was clean, spacious and comfortable. It was on the first floor at the far end of the complex, with two large balconies (one with a decent washing line they was very handy). Most of the time it was very peaceful and pleasant sat out on the balcony, but do be aware that some days the nearby day club plays loud music, which kind of changes the mood! It was quite bizarre sitting out there at 10am with music pumping out! The 3 person apartment was in the block before the pool and appeared to be much older. This was located partly below ground level, making it quite dark inside. This is not suitable for 3 adults or older teenagers - the third bed was very narrow and located in the corridor between the kitchen and bedroom, directly opposite the bathroom. The room got extremely hot and very damp, despite it being dry the whole of our stay. There was lovely big balcony, again with a good washing line. Whilst the accommodation is a little further out from the resort, hiring bikes was a perfect way to get around and there was ample bike storage provided around all areas of the complex, so you could always park your bike near your room. The pool area was clean and sunloungers comfortable. Personally I felt too many were in the shade and there was a tendency for other holiday makers to reserve beds, particularly those in the sun, and not use them for hours, which meant 8 days out of the 10 we were not able to get beds around the pool till gone 4pm. We only try and get 2 beds, so this was a disappointment. All the staff seemed approachable and the bar seemed to have a reasonable selection of food/snacks. Was good to be able to get snacks late at night. Would have liked to be able to get a gyros there. I don't like not being able to take my own drinks/snacks to the pool when I am staying in the accommodation, but this seems standard procedure these days. I guess everyone has to make a living and the tour companies don't pay enough for the owners not to need to make additional income. Overall, this accommodation was ok. There was a lovely family feel from the owners, with all generations appearing to help out. The 4 person room was excellent, but the 3 person room wasn't suitable for 3 people.
