Anika I & II Studios

We just got back from our holiday this morning and we had an absolutely fantastic time! The studios were great, very clean and staff really friendly. Room was good size and balcony absolutely massive!! Perfect location-only 10 minute walk from bar/club street!!! Recommend it to anyone!!! Will be going back!!

my husband and I and the two children aged 6 and 4 have just returned from these studios and we found them to be superb, the rooms were spacious and clean, the family that own the studios were fantastic really friendly and helpful. Its is a family based complex but when we were there we had a few groupd of same sex male and female but found them to be no trouble at all. I would recommend these studios to anybody wanting a nice quiet break away. We met a couple there who have been going back to the same place for the past 18 years sometimes more than once a year which says a lot about the place itself. Found a couple of places to eat ini the town but the food at the anika was also good not complaints at all one of the best holidays we have had for the price we paid.

The Anika studios are brilliant. I thought they were considerably clean.
The staff were very nice and helpful...apart from if you decide to jump in the pool in the early hours of the morning as Mr. Tom G found out!
We booked last minute for a very cheap price so didn’t expect much, but were pleasantly surprised when we got there.
Faliraki is a great place to visit...we had tons of fun there! You meet loads of fun people and the beach party was the highlight of our visit!
I would definitely go and stay at Anika Studios again...might very well go back in 2007!
Great value for money.
Hi to the crazy Bournemouth boyz: tom, jay and Paul...you made our holiday.
From the scouse house girls...Verity, Gemma and Emily.

Probably the best studios in Rakki! I was very pleased during my stay in Anika studios.
The rooms were very clean and tidy, air conditioning, clean pool, great staff, nice meals and very cheap ones!
I'm going again this year!

Well let’s get one thing straight first of all! What do you go Faliraki for? Party, party, party!
Therefore all you need is a clean, basic, friendly hotel. And my experience at Annika studios was exactly that. Have no complaints.
Me and my best mate went for too weeks, and got a fantastic deal! We're definitely going back this year, just in the process of booking now, and were hoping it may be our second time at Annika studios very soon! So roll on Faliraki 2007!

Well, this was our 2nd visit to Anika and it was just as good as last year! They remembered us on arrival and gave us a fab room with the biggest balcony overlooking everyone!
The owners are fab and so friendly and the food is yummy! You get what you pay for but you can’t fault it! We saw about 2 cats and no dogs, same as last year!
Anyway, to all who want to see Faliraki for themselves then I highly recommend it and Anika!
Oh and Jeff (the rep) is gorgeous and so much fun!! Was our rep for both years and recognized us at the airport and was everywhere and anywhere all the time - luv him! He was on TV few weeks back doing the celebrity holiday rep thing! Hi Jeffy!
Anyway, go check out Faliraki, you wont want to come back! I might go back next year!

The three of us arrived in Faliraki mid August 2006 early Sunday morning, the operators were well organised and we were checked in and asleep in no time.
Before arriving we had read lots of bad reports about the apartments and as we had booked on a value deal we really didn’t expect much. To that extent I can say that the apartments were great - clean, tidy, and run by nice people (especially George, or was it Aimee?). Don’t feed the cats and they won’t bother coming round.
Faliraki itself is not at all what I expected. After reading all of the bad press coverage and hearing all of the stories I can honestly say that the British media have tarnished this great resort with a bad reputation that is simply unqualified.
Don’t get me wrong, Faliraki is no Monte Carlo. There is a little British bulldog behaviour (got a big mac, no fries - you know who you are!), a little sick in the street, and a few drunks hanging about - but its all part of the fun, isn’t that why we go on these holidays? If you like adventures and don’t mind a bit of drama then you will love the place.
The beach is great we spent most of our days there, check out the donuts ran by the mockney mexican (awight bwoys! iz like bumper carrrs - on de waater!) and don’t forget your sun cream (I burnt my feet, really hurt). If you go when the night beach party is on then make sure you don’t miss it, amazing.
Tips: Try to eat out as much as you can and explore the place - its pretty cheap to do and you get to meet the local characters. Have a siesta before going out, makes the nights a lot longer and you don’t bugger up the next day. Don’t get too lary, the police are hard!
Best Restaurant: Melrose's just on the main road at the top of Bar St.
Worst Restaurant: Hawaii BBQ (Waiter: "The kitchen is closing make your order" - plus the food made one of us sick)
Best Pool: Splash!
Best Bar: Jimmy's
Best Club: Liquid (And of course the Beach Party)
Best Ride: Slingshot!
Hi to all the people we met, including scouse house girls and the scotts!
Tcheuss!

Anika, Faliraki, 2006

We have recently come back from a holiday in Faliraki.
First things first. Ignore anything the press say. This is the friendliest place I have ever been. Everyone is willing to help you. Even the locals at the shop down the road! Everyone wants to talk to you and know who you are. Faliraki is lively but not over the top. Its a great time if your with friends and if you go with a family there is so much to do. We had many families staying in our hotel and a varied range of people. Which was surprising as I thought it would be more young people taking over!
As for the hotel. The rooms got cleaned when you sort of made it obvious you wanted it cleaned but what you pay. Its a bargain. We had two single beds a bathroom, kitchen and dressing area. It was all we needed and was awesome. It added to the experience. All rooms however aren’t air-conditioned so check that before you go, although you can hire a fan. There are a few cats but they don’t bother you and one dog that lives about 1/2 a mile away who barks but that is it. Overall this place is amazing and we are already booking next year.
There is information on hand when you need it from the staff at your hotel. They are all willing to help! As for Olympic. We were advised to do it all ourselves and opt out of their bar crawls and do it on our own. We did and it was brilliant. And far cheaper by the sounds of things!
Overall Faliraki was awesome and I’m dying to come back! I recommend this holiday and resort to anyone! And the pool is lovely!

Ok firstly, you get what you pay for, and this holiday was cheap! And after reading these reviews I was dreading going on holiday! However, I was very pleased with my holiday, and accommodation.
Basically you will find it ok if you’re on a single or couples break, but its not suitable for families really.
We had hot water all week, which was surprising. The pool was clean, and always tidy. bar and reception staff were helpful and friendly, and always talked to you. Our Olympic Rep was useless, sort everything out yourself, you’ll be luck if you even see your rep, we saw ours twice, and one of the times she was hammered!
We didn’t have any insects in our room at all, and it was only cleaned once in the week we were there, but to be fair, if you make a mess, tidy it up! Its not difficult, and takes 2 mins. Or just don’t be so messy. Its not a 5 star hotel!
As for the cats and dogs, I saw 0 dog, and 2 cats, which didn’t belong at the apartment, they were strays.
The apartments situation is ideal, 10 mins from the town/beach, so far enough to avoid the noise, and its a bit isolated so you only get the noise from you apartments. supermarket around the corner is very helpful, but like I said you’re close to town anyway. resort as a whole was great, but the PR people get on your nerves, however if you ever pay for a drink, you should get a minimum of 2 free shots with it!
All in all, if your young, you’ll love it here, if not, find another resort!

We were there for a week last year and booked it last minute but proved expensive but we were more than happy!
Accommodation was basic but what do you expect! Your on holiday - all you do is sleep in the rooms! No air con but you can hire a fan for fudge sakes and was ok! You’re on holiday in a hot country so get on with it!
The cats - 10 of them? I think not! The cute little ginge one was adorable and kept hiding in our bags! If you don’t want them around you - shoo them away!
Overall, we had a great holiday, everyone was so friendly, food was great! Wicked salads and toasty sarnies!
We will be back this year in august if we can manage it!
