Odysseus

Accom is basic but sold as a Scene property with TUI so as expected ! Would recommend buying wrist band from TUI on arrival ! Paint party very good ! Location good for beach and clubs. We did have a issue with cleaner, walked in on her going through our suitcases. Other then her staff very good.

My brother and I stayed from the 27/8/18 - 10/9/18... Having read many of the reviews there seemed to be a bit of a pattern running through most of them that some people just couldn't seem to grasp the concept of, and that is the fact that this is "budget accommodation"... Greece is practically my first choice holiday destination when I am thinking of a sunny break away, I have been coming to Greece since 1990 and despite the mosquito's trying to eat me alive all the time, I have been to Corfu more times than the other Greek Islands... This time we picked a cheap deal with TUI (even though we did say last year that we would not use them anymore), but we got a pretty good deal for the 2 weeks that we stayed so it was worth a try... So, The Agnes, despite some relatively poor reviews this was where we decided to plant ourselves, and to be honest I have to speak as I find it was quite a pleasant surprise, yes, this is bog standard no frills accommodation so you're basically paying for "Room Only" accommodation. Regardless of where I am staying there are several things I always do on entering my room, and that is check the standard of cleanliness of the accommodation. At the Agnes I have to say it could have been a lot worse (knowing what Greece can be like) but I was somewhat surprised with the standard of these rooms (perhaps we were lucky and got one of the better rooms) but it was light, fairly spacious, and reasonably clean, however, the bedding really lets this place down and that is a big issue for me along with the bathroom/toilet which is another, and this too lets the place down badly, how nobody has contracted e-coli, malaria or anything else from staying here is quite surprising really because in both these areas they can only be described as DISGUSTING! The bedding on my brothers bed was caked in oil of some description and make up, mine wasn't much better either with blood stains, rips and alike. The worst thing of all though was the Pillows, both mine and my brothers were caked in black mould and which were solid chunks of foam rather than a proper pillow, needless to say this is totally unacceptable and should never ever be happening under any circumstances! The "cooking facilities" apart from being practically non existent, were highly suspect from a safety point aswell, the double hotplate/combi oven was not only rusty but filthy and I dread to think what you would catch from any food cooked on it (that is if it was safe to use of course). With a mental note made I removed all of the bedding and took it to the reception along with the pillows and put my points across to the receptionist and after some friendly banter she arranged for them to be changed and within less than 10 minutes we had brand new linen and pillows, how she managed to sort that out so quick was a big plus, because when you've spent a long time travelling all you really want to do is rest and get something to eat, not have to mess about doing the job that you have paid to have done for you! TUI don't add the fact that there is now a "tourist tax" that has to be paid at the accommodation we paid €14 each as we were there for 14 nights, really this should be advertised on the holiday information page so everyone knows upfront that it is a mandatory payment. The bar area is by the pool to the rear of the property close to the beach which was quite smelly its with muddy sand, which is a common theme with some of the Corfiate beaches I've come to learn, but I'm not a beach person so it didn't matter to me so much. The bar manager (uncle fester as I called him, lol) was hit and miss, he liked to give out plenty of banter but couldn't take it and always got funny about it, especially if you mocked his music mixes, which is really badly edited drum & base music run on a loop system so you get the same music over and over all day every day. During our stay we never had to purchase toilet rolls had we needed to do so we would have purchased them from the local shop as they would no doubt of been cheaper. As for the sun loungers due to the avarice of the owner there was a charge of €1.50 plus you got a small bottle of water, we didn't really use the Agnes bar that much as it just didn't have the right vibe for us, we preferred to use the Big Max Diner where it was a more friendlier and welcoming environment and more importantly the beer was a fraction cheaper too. Several people mentioned noise, well it is a party town after all, to be honest though we didn't really notice it that much, I only had to go out on my balcony once to tell the youngsters underneath us to knock it on the head and then a simple "you don't want me to come down there" was enough for them to go into their room and shut the door. If anything I had more of a problem with the mosquito's attacking me than noisy drunk kids, I can't say that I saw many (if any) N ₂O (nitrous-oxide) canisters during our stay here. We never had any problems with ants or flies as we were on the 1st floor rather than the ground floor. Despite the reviews I think we definitely got one of the better accommodation locations in Kavos, just far enough up from the night clubs to not hear any loud music. If I were to go back to Kavos I would probably stay here again rather than anywhere else on the strip.
