Yes Tony we did have a favourite place, it was the Mathraki studios.
The studios are bright and clean, there is also a pool with a small pool bar. The main attraction though is the lovely family who own the studios. Nicolette, Costa and their son Akis are very unobtrusive, but always there quietly in the background to cater for their guests whims. Not too far to walk to beach etc either.
When for one reason or another we have not stayed at the Mathraki we have stayed in the following:
Annas-Very spacious studios/apartments with large bar area and friendly family. Up a fairly steep hill so maybe not so suitable for anyone with walking difficulties.
The following booked privately;
Thomas Bungalows-Peaceful quiet setting on level ground, easy walking distance to beach. No pool, but lovely gardens. Well equipped bungalows, front and rear terraces ideal for al fresco meals. Again, a lovely friendly family.
Galini-Lovely large top floor corner apartment with great views.
Tria Adelphia-Stayed in one of their brand new apartments with air conditioning at the end of April. (hah, in April we had to use the hot-air control!) Highly recommended, good food, super family, Phil is a natural comedian!

P.S I have arranged various apartments for other members of my family, the most impressive being the Marinaki (owned by the Marina hotel) on the seafront at the San Stef end.
