Hebe's Apartments

I came out to Kavos to work a season and had read up a lot on the place in general and where to stay. Me and a friend left it pretty late on booking the hotel but when we did we chose Hebes.
To start let me say...THIS IS A FINE PLACE TO STAY! I am a boy so it might be a different perspective given, but me and my mate were simply looking for a bed and a roof. The location of the hotel is right off the strip, our apartment was quite close to the alley so the music was pretty loud meaning we couldn't sleep until it got turned off at 2am. This wasn't the hotel's fault however. I'd read up that people found it difficult to claim their key on the first night, but the 'board' kept coming up a lot so I knew what to expect when to get there. We got our key straight away, dumped our stuff in the room, and just went straight out!
I stayed at Hebes for a month and had no trouble whatsoever with the staff, or the place. The staff were very friendly (if you didn't mess about with the property like breaking things etc.) and they couldn't be more helpful. I had to come early, but the Barlady offered to sort me out a room in a separate workers apartment at a better rate than what I was paying.
A lot of workers stayed at the complex when I was there which gave it a friendly feel. People do go around the pool all the time, the pool was a perfect size and everything you needed was in walking distance. You could pay an extra 10 euros a night for Air-con but we weren't too fussed at the time. We did hear a story of some tourists saying they had been robbed, which the staff did get a little too defensive about, however it turned out that the girl who said it, hid her money in the bin?! And she admitted it so it wasn't made up.
Other than that, no trouble was found when I stayed there. I lost my wallet on my second night there, and by mid day the day after I had everything returned back to me in fully. I would definitely stay at this place again due to its prime location, friendly staff, and perfectly sized rooms. We did hear that other apartments didn't have hot water sometimes, but ours was fine we never experienced a problem.
If you're literally just going to kavos to have an awesome time, and not care about the amount of luxuries that comes with the room, I would definitely recommend this place. If you are a worker, get in touch with them before you book and they will offer you a better rate to the tourists.
Hope this helps everyone! Stop whining about "my bath mat isn't square enough" and just go to Kavos to have a holiday!!

Hebes was excatly what we wanted- when going to kavos you dont expect much and well this exceded our expectations. It was in a great location on the strip because the bars closed at around 2am so wasnt noisy when you did eventually go to sleep but was safe enough to walk back by yourself. It was kept clean and the pool was lovely especially after a night out. Everyone was so friendly and many workers lived here and were helpful and made the trip soo good !! Yes you dont always have hot water but its a cheap place and if you have it before 8pm you should be alright. The cleaner was good and always cleared away our mess. As read reviews about things being stolen we hid our valuables but the place did seem safe. We had a modern apartment as my friends had an older one and ours was defienatly nicer.
Would recommend this place to groups of youngish people going for a good clubbing holidayyy !!
Ps..Take toilet paper :)

Basically, we had turned up at Tuesday 1am, and could not find anyone around to help us find our room. We had to go to the clubs to ask someone if they knew who to speak to, some guy took us to the pool area and showed us a board which had our names on it, they said the key would be in the door. As soon as we got in we had had a shower, we had to hold the shower head ourselfs, had no hot water, no shower curtain and also got an eletric shock from it. The next night we went out, we came back to all our clothes all over the floor. Someone had stolen 500 euros and clothes from us and had a broken window. We tried to ring the Police but they wanted nothing to do with it. The next morning we went to the pool bar and told them what happened. They said it was impossible, and it must of been us that stole our own belongings? They took our passports off us and told us if we dont pay 700 euros for damages they will phone Police and will most certain be put in jail. We had no choice but to pay as we wernt up for spending time in a Greek jail. The next morning everything seemed fine, we told them we were going to get a crime reference number number to claim back our losses. The barwoman started shouting at us saying, we would be making false alligations and she would put a counter-report against us. As we were walking out of the hotel to go to the Police station, she shouted from across the pool, we had one hour to leave and that she was now going to get the Police. We couldnt believe what she was saying but packed our bags anyway and got the British Embassy involved to get our passports back off of her. So to sum it up, we had to leave Corfu 7 days early, 1200 euros down for nothing. I advise everyone to stay away from this hotel as not only from our experience but when we told the taxi driver what happened, he told us this isnt the first time hes heard about Hebes treating guests like this. Completly ruined our holiday. We came last year to Kavos and stayed at Oula Hotel, it was the best time of our lifes.

Despite what's been said before, we had a great time, rooms are basic, but good value for money, our sheets were changed.Cleaner was a darling. When u get there is board on left by pool with your names and room numbers on, we expected that as we've travelled independent before, isn't a hotel, was easy.
Atmosphere with other guests was great, book things with the rep, Mark, he got everyone together, really looked after us, and was well good prices- Theo's boat rocks!!!!! Location was perfect, right on the strip. Pool bar was good value with free sunbeds, barman, Ash, was cool.Still in contact with everybody and they all loved it(gonna get them to write too!)
We were there when people had problem with door, 2 or 3 rooms heard them break it(wrote letters for the rep)
Basically, if you want cheap rooms (we paid about 150 quid for 2 weeks),good location for partying and wanna join in and have a laugh you can't go wrong booking Hebe's-we're all going back in July 09!!!!

Hello!! I was in these appartments in septemeber for 15days! and it was the best holiday i have ever had:) i didnt want to go home... the appartments were near by to everything, the pool side was great, even the appartments where great! And the cleaner always ensured your room was tidy :)
the rep was amazing, and so were the bar staff, if you needed any help they were always there.
I was reading these other comments and im really upset that people are making them sound horrible, they must just be used to 5 star complex's, with maid service:)
kavos is the place to be :) 2009!! woooo

Arrived early Saturday (7.30am) unable 2 find anyone 2 help with rooms etc- after 30mins of calling out and looking around found a board by the pool area with our names on- went 2 the rooms and the key had been left in the door!
Rooms were basic- beds uncomfortable, 1 clean sheet for 2 whole weeks and 1 towel! The shower u had 2 hold urself and we got a little electric shock when we used it- mentioned this 2 staff and they said 'oh yeah that's happened before but we couldn't find anything wrong!
Noticed on day 2 that there was a hole in our door (bedroom) but thought ah well we haven't paid that much and it's not harming us- HOW WRONG WERE WE- on day 6 the maid noticed this hole (she had been in twice previously and not seen it-apparantly) and we were accused by the barwomen of doing it. We assured them we hadn't done a thing as i'd noticed it Sunday but didn't think anything of it- but no, we were lying!!! As it was our word against there's we were told on day 9 to pay 110 euros that day or our belongings would be outside the room when we got back on day 10 (we were going on a boat trip) and we'd have 2 find somewhere else 2 stay- absolutely disgusted!!!!
We paid obviously, we had no choice- but we told the rep and barwomen we wanted the door fixed before we left on saturday- we were assured this would happen but guess what--friday they told us he couldn't come until the end of season and gave us a receipt from the hotel (we were assured we'd get a receipt of the carpenter-yeah right) now who are the liars! Take into consideration previous repairs to other doors in our room looked like polyfiller-i was not happy!!!!
Our rep just didn't care and basically called us liars or that we'd got carried away after a night out (I don't drink), we were a group of couples, not really into the loud nightlife but i feel we were victimised!
Watch out with aircon aswell-we were conned with this- basically our worst holiday ever, i will not be going back to these appartments!!
If anyone stays in the Zeus, room 9, let us know if the door panel (door on the right) has been replaced or if it was pollyfilled- i would love 2 know where my 110 euros went!!!

Well I went to Kavos this July with a couple of mates......I had read mixed reviews about the place so i have to admit I didn't know what to expect. We arrived in Kavos in the early hours of the morning outside Hebe apartments, the rep was no where to be seen... no reception at all, so we didn't know where our rooms were. The was a piece of paper with one of the group names on it. We went to find the rooms with only one of the keys outside, so we all had to wait in the one room. What can I say about the rooms, they are basic to say the least, there were no sheets on the bed. There was make up all over the walls, the floor was dirty. The maid only comes into the room the to make the beds and sweep the floors, the beds are NOT changed ever and they moan at you if you ask!! Next the bathroom... well you are really in for a treat, it is a room with a toilet, sink and a drain in the floor, there is no shower curtain so water goes everywhere apart from down the drain. The water is yellow and bloody smells. The kitchen is disgusting the cutlery and pans, I dont think had ever been washed and there was old fat in them...nice! Also there was three of us sharing a room , but only two of everything, plates , cups etc. The pool area is ok, but you are not allowed to eat or drink stuff that is not brought from the bar. Didn't have any drinks from the bar so I could comment on them. Next for the staff, they are polite enough, but watch out for the rep trying to sell you tickets for the trips and stuff, its a con!! If you ask around you can do the same thing for cheaper... Next on to the beach , which is horrible, there are piles of plastic all along the beach, as well as glass, old condoms. URG!!! The sea is not clean it has stuff like plastic bags floating around. KAVOS BLOODY SINKS ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the day and night !!! The roads are dangerous as there isnt any pavements, and people on mopeds drive like nutters. The only good restaurant is TEX MEX the food is pricey but really nice!!! DO NOT GO TO THE STEAK HOUSE ... overpriced and the food is awful!!! Onto the bars and clubs.....all the bars are priced the same .... little tip all the free drinks and shots are watered down or other people old drinks!!! Yeah nice, Atlantis and Future are good and the drinks they serve aren't watered down!!! All the music they play is good mixture of hip hop, rnb and garage. The most annoying thing in Kavos is the PRs... who stand about every 10ft on the strip... they are always trying to get you into there bars for free drinks, and some of them are really rude and will not take no for an answer. The ones outside Rolling Stone are nice tho, as they just say have a good night if you dont go in!!! All in all Kavos is not a place I would ever go back to again.... I have been on other holidays like this but the resorts were much better...my advice is go to Malia instead.

Kavos was an awesome holiday, I’m just back and can’t wait to go away again next year! I read some bad reviews on the net about Kavos and the Hebes apartments before I went and now I can safely say that they are all absolute rubbish, probably didn’t understand that they were booking a young peoples holiday! The Hebes was pretty basic but a shower, a bed and somewhere to heat up hot water or soup (which took 5 mins on hob) was all I needed which I found excellent for the price. Plus you’re right next to everything which is great when your ready to go back to the hotel after a night out! Places to go: Rolling Stones, Papagallos, and Desperados for food (try the popcorn brownies). Places to avoid: Crash - good view but rubbish menu. All in all it was a great holiday and really cheap even when across there! Loved it and would definitely go back.

For the money we paid and reading the previous reviews we were pleasantly surprised.
Clean, although basic apartments, secure and in prime location. The pool area was excellent and the owners very helpful and tolerant!
Probably a better place for boys as shower room wasn't great, water was always cold and girls always whinge about that kind of thing

Just got back from the Hebe last week. Had a brilliant holiday and would recommend Kavos to anyone. I don’t understand how people think it’s a complete dive! Its such a nice place, there’s loads of nice bars and restaurants and everyone there’s lovely. The PR’s do annoy you abit but don’t they everywhere? The only thing that let us down was the room we were shoved in. I think they must have overbooked and shoved us in the staff quarters. If you get room 21 then ask to be moved. There were 3 of us in a room and we could hardly move! It’s tiny and the bathroom is ridiculous! We completely flooded out the room on the first night because we didn’t realise the shower was flooding and it went under the door and the whole room was full of water! The water in Kavos stinks. When you turn the tap on you can smell it. I brushed my teeth with bottled water as there was no way that water was going anywhere near my mouth! All the other rooms in the hotel looked really nice though. I was actually really looking forward to having a shared balcony and when we got there our stupid little excuse for a room didn’t even have one! The pool is really nice and you always got a sun lounger no matter what time you went down! The Scottish girl behind the bar is really friendly and always looks after you. She makes you toasty’s as well if you ask. They play music round the pool all day which is good and gets you in the mood again. The pool shuts at 7pm so you can’t go in after that and they shout at you if you attempt it! Would definately recommend Rolling Stone. We were in there everynight, it’s a laugh! The DJ can be abit rude though and embarrasses people sometimes. Also go to Rockys, Buzz bar and 42nd street! All in all, had an excellent time and would definately go back again! The only thing that let us down was the room we were put in and it really annoyed us for the week!
