Post by: kvarnell on May 14, 2014, 02:00:31 PM
Hi, we have stayed in the Akti before but in the new rooms, just a quick question, are the old rooms ok? do they still have a fridge and hairdryer?

Chances are if you are not Polish you are in the Annex. The newer rooms for the most part are given to the half board guests who tend to be through a Polish tour operator. That was the case last summer anyway. Has been raised with TC as when you book with them it does not say Annex, it was in years gone by simply pot luck or if they remembered you. Saying that the Annex is fine, but have shower trays rather than baths with shower over and the Annex rooms are on the road side of the hotel. Does not stop us booking.

We had the new rooms two years in a row, maybe I look Polish, I don't mind where we stay, it's still Arillas.

I don't think the Eastern Europeans tend to holiday until later in the season so the rooms set aside for them will probably be free at the moment anyway?

Possibly, but we were there in late June 2013 (hardly late in season) and it was almost a total split UK = Annex, Polish = main hotel. It peeved off a few people to the point that they are at the Rainbow this year. I'm in no way saying there is anything wrong with the Annex, stayed there twice and main hotel twice, however the TC brouchure and website makes no reference to this and from what we heard were not aware of this. The main hotel is better though.

Its usually the Brits that get given the better rooms I find in Greece , I have often felt quite guilty about it BUT I would prefer to feel guilty and be in the better rooms than in the lesser ones .....

Must agree with GazCaz.We were there first two weeks in June last year and the split was just the same .Annexe is ok. unless you want to get to sleep before 2am.There were many complaints last year over the noise from the bars opposite.TC should definitely mention this in their brochure and website.

I must admit I have always thought the balconies look good for people watching in the day but I wouldn't want to have to sleep in them when the Malibu and Coconut are partying.
We will have to pop in and have a drink in Akti next week, never been in and the bar / pool area looks very nice :-)
