Tondoris Studios and Apartments

We stopped in a 2 bed apartment, accommodation as expected its basic but very very clean, the cleaners work so hard and do an outstanding job ! Clean towels and bedding every other day and bin emptied every day apart from 1 day during our 14 day stay, the cleaner however saw us that morning and explained it was an exceptionally busy change over day, she was infact still cleaning rooms 12 hours later ! Wasn’t an issue for us in the slightest not having a bin emptied for the day. Although this accommodation is self catering it lacked facilities to self cater, very few cutlery items, no chopping board and tiny work surface, fine as we only really used the kettle and the toaster on the odd day and had no plans to do much more but something to think about if you plan to cook ! The pool area was perfect, lovely pool although the sunbeds could do with a jet wash they were comfortable, never had an issue getting a sunbed regardless of the time of day so was surprised to see some beds with towels on at 7.30am for people not to appear until 3pm :-) We had air conditioning at €75 per room for the 2 weeks however one of the units just poured water, we initially did not see the dripping water until our bedroom floor was like a paddling pool, reported straight away and assured an engineer would come out the following day, 4 days later despite us asking each day no engineer had appeared so we were given a refund on the unit which was good however we did have to put up with the sound of dripping into a bucket for the remainder of our holiday ! Drinks are expensive at the pool bar, I think it would work well if a discount on drinks prices, even if only 50 cents was offered to the residents of the apartments they may notice an increase in sales. The pool is typically Greek and open to everyone, some days it was busy others not so but what was particularly concerning was a large group with a number of young children who felt it was acceptable to sit in both the main pool and the baby pool with their glasses drinking, this was an accident waiting to happen and glasses ( and ice cream and cake for that matter ) should most definitely not be allowed in the water! Also be aware that at certain times of the day you will have zero water pressure or hot water so be prepared, could tell when it was a change over day as has pressure and hot water in abundance. The planet bar also plays music every day and late into the evening, would be good if they change the playlist occasionally. Also don’t rely on the shower in the planet bar if you have a late check out, it looked absolutely disgusting and let the Tondoris down, it was dirty, had discarded underwear and dirty towels not to mention a ton of empty toiletry bottles, looked like a health hazard to be honest ! Aside from that the Tondoris is a good place to stay in a perfect location with clean very basic accommodation, if you want a bit of luxury then it’s not for you but it’s exactly what we expected for the price we paid, just please Tondoris sort the shower in the bar out, ban glasses in the pool and change the playlist every now and again and it will be spot on !

Loved these apartments and their location so much, we booked for next year the day after we got home! Situated in a quieter area but with a few shops, bars and restaurants! Only short walk to the beach and “The Strip” for a livelier night out and many many Tat shops! If you go you must visit Sea Garden Cocktail Bar/ Restaurant, we loved it and went several times.
