Eri Sun Village Water Park

***GREAT HOLIDAY - PLEASE READ*** After booking our holiday to the Eri Palace, we looked at the reviews on line & were worried about where we would be going. However, we needn't have worried, we had a fantastic holiday!! The complex was very Greek & pretty. We were in "Alexander the Great" block, facing the mini amphi-theatre, which was probably one of the best blocks to be in. The only problem was that the sun faced our apartment in the afternoon & it got baking!! The apartment itself was lovely & clean although basic. It was cleaned, beds made, glasses washed every single day. We had a 2 bedroomed apartment which included free AC. It helped, but wasn't fantastic, however several days of our holiday were in the 40's (during the time of forest fires in Greece) When we arrived, English schools hadn't broke up for the holidays yet & there was only about a dozen English in the complex. Other Nationalities included French, German, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, Belgium and Swiss. However, towards the end of our fortnight, there were more British (probably about 1/10 of holiday makers). All our kids made British & foreign friends. The food was fab. Somethings were the same every day, but there was also lots of variety. My 7yr old daughter is extremely fussy & she still managed to find something to eat every mealtime. The waiters/waitresses are prompt at cleaning the tables & are helpful & polite. Food isn't served throughout the day, just at regular mealtimes. However, there is "coffee time" at about 4pm at both pool bars. They serve cookies & cake, which you can have with coffee from the machine. One of my 2 complaints was the lack of vodka! The beer was fine, obviously nothing special. The main bar & both pool bars operate a help yourself system of beer, raki, ouzo, brandy, coffee & soft drinks. No vodka!! So I bought Vodka in the mini-market on site quite cheaply. Both pool bars shut at about 6pm. The couple that run the mini-market on site are lovely. The mini-market supplies pretty much everything & considering it has a captured market, it is very reasonable. There are 2 different pool area's. The top pool is 1.8m throughout but with a small baby pool at the end. And the lower pool is smaller & starts shallow, deepening to 1.5m. There is also a raised area with another baby pool. We spent nearly all of our time by the lower pool as it was close to the bar! Also, the pool was slightly smaller so our 6 & 7 yr old kids could get to the side of the pool without any help. My 2nd complaint is that the pool toilets were a bit yucky! We tried to only use the toilets in the apartment because they were not that clean. I think people forget that toilet paper can't be put down the loo. There is no evening or daytime entertainment at the Eri Palace, which we were aware of prior to booking, but some people we spoke to thought there was entertainment. You are able to get the free shuttle bus down to the Eri Beach Village which is on the front, but it does get packed down there. We spent our evenings drinking with friends on the veranda or in reception of the Eri Palace & didn't feel the need to leave. There is a gym downstairs, but it is a bit of a worry as the equipment doesn't look all that safe so we avoided it. There are ping-pongs tables downstairs & tennis courts also. Paddles & rackets can be borrowed from reception. I hope you haven't gone to sleep by the end of this review, but I wanted to let everyone know how nice the Eri Palace is!! All in all, we had a very relaxing, enjoyable holiday. We would definitely go back to the Eri Palace.
