The alexander - laganas zante!! be warned!

[toecrusher]

I have not actually visited the Alexander studios, my reason to which I will explain, however this is a WARNING to any one wishing to book a holiday to the Alexander apartments. Last week (approximately 4 weeks before our holiday to the Alexander studios was due to begin) we received a letter informing us that we had been moved to a hotel in Kalamaki as the hotel had over booked!! Obviously you can understand we were not happy about this as it was a family resort and approx 30 minutes away from Laganas' nightlife. From here our options were limited, we either moved to Kalamaki or accepted a full refund, deposit included. A group of 4 18 year olds looking for good nightlife don't want to be moved to a "quieter family resort" or have to pay for taxis every night to get into Laganas. So we decided to take the refund, however we got our holiday very cheap (�400 pp for 2 weeks) mainly due to our early booking (November time) and we realised that we were not going to find anything of the same quality, at the same price, in the same area at the same time of year (July)! Luckily we found (on the internet) a 2 week holiday in Laganas for �409 (pp for 2 weeks) which isn't much more considering how late we booked, however it is only a 2* instead of the original 3* and it was SC instead of B&B, so not of the same quality or value. Also after the holiday me and one of my friends planned to go straight from Zante to Malia (as we went on holiday there last yr and enjoyed it) to look for a job and spend the summer over there, 2 days before the letter arrived from sunset me and my friend booked our flights and accommodation for Malia, incurring more costs and upset as now it is looking unlikely that we will be able to go to Malia for the summer. see next post.......
