Hi again Oregano.
Thank you the update. Over the years I have noticed an increase in noise caused by an obsession with playing 'music' loudly.
We have lost many hours of sleep whilst on holiday, due to this abuse.
We have found in many hotels, the music is selected by the staff, for the staff. Especially around the pool where we like to relax.
In Crete last October I selected a place that seems to be on a par with Arillas. it was wonderful, with no noisy bars or disco types. In fact, the only 'Thump, Thump, Thump, was caused by a local....er.....umm........ local youth showing off his car sound system.
That said, I did enjoy a coffee and Metaxa on the balcony of our apartment, in the late evening.
We may attend the Rainbow BBQ whilst there.
I would have liked to be on the second floor of the Alex' to enjoy the view, but, my wife had leg surgery last year, and is not too keen on being on top now.
