Aphea Village

La piscina, los dueños del bar de la piscina, eran muy amables y la ubicación por si quieres visitar Balos.

We stayed for 8 nights a week or two ago, arrived late due to flight delays and there was an envelope with apartment key and map attached to the Reception door which was handy. The 2 room apartment was fine but slightly dated and dishevelled, however all completely serviceable. There is no kettle or, in our flat anyway, no sharp knives to cut food, prep veg etc Bought some cheap ones at a supermarket anyway. Shower was fine. Aircon in the kitchen and dining area only, not the bedroom The pool bar is run by a couple who were very friendly and helpful not to mention very hardworking, open from 8am til late every day. Happy hour between 4pm and 5pm, 2 draught beers for the price of 1. Fix is the brew, very palatable especially in 33 degrees heat. 10 mins walk to beach and supermarket in the centre of the town. Sold as self catering but feel that they would prefer you to eat at the pool side bar! Worth going definitely and is a great family run place to stay when in Kolymvari.

We stayed here as a couple in June for 5nights. The pool area, public areas and gardens are immaculate! We stayed in room : apartment 51 which was at the top of 4 steep flights of stairs (not good if you’ve got mobility issues!!) We were slightly disappointed when we entered there was a strong musty smell, although the walls had been painted, the kitchen area was tired, with scrapes and small chunks missing on the worktops. It looked grubby and shabby. There was also no kettle which meant we ended up having to buy one at the local supermarket!! When I mentioned this to the lady on reception, she said that they don’t leave them in the rooms, you have to go ask her as they don’t leave them in the rooms. I’ve never heard of that before !!! And it certainly didn’t cross my mind to ask at reception when it was an apartment with equipped kitchenette that we’d booked. Rare to have a hot shower and the bathroom was shocking. The bath was rusty, stained and made me not want to step into it. We were told that the rooms / apartments were undergoing renovations and we assumed they hadn’t visited 51 as yet. It also lacked patio furniture out the front. That would have been a nice touch. Views were absolutely stunning over the town, harbour and sea from Upstairs. The bar and pool are owned by/ run separately from the hotel and the food / drinks were lovely. Pool immaculately clean and maintained. Overall, a relaxing short stay (if you overlook the tiredness of our apartment)
