Kavos - Lefkimmi, 49080, Greece
The Odysseus has been the heartbeat of 2wentys in Kavos for years simply because this place goes off big style! It's so good in fact it's even been on the telly. The atmosphere round the Big Blue pool is second to none and there's always something going on.

I didn't read any reviews before me and my friend booked to go to Kavos. And after we booked and everything was final I read loads of reviews and I started to get a bit panicky as most of the reviews of the hotel were quite bad.

But when we got there very early in the morning I must admit the room was very basic. You have unattratively decorated bathroom, a tiny box for a kitchen but quite a reasonable sized room with a balcony.

The only time we were in our room was to sleep and get ready to go out. Occasionally we cooked and ate in and we got used to it after the second day.

The cleaner was lovely and would leave you if you where sleeping. The towels didn't get changed but thankfully we took extra ones. The sheets got changed on our 2nd to last day.

Your bins get changed daily and your floors get brushed and mopped.

Nothing to complain about at all really. It's more then what I expected after reading past reviews

Was kind of clean but as a group of lads and one girl we didn't really care how clean the place was cos we spent most of the time out.

Pool was very nice especially at 4am in the morning apart from one of the hotel guys shining a torch in our eyes telling us the police are coming if we don't get out.

Food was ok Johnny the barman was funny with his lovely thought provoking words.

Didn't like the way we got fleeced for every penny, sunbeds cost us, so did every event nothing is free.

The room was very basic, two beds pushed way too close together which is rubbish if you want to bring someone back to your room.

Staff were OK and generally helpful, although don't eat anything out the welcome pack because they charge you 10 euro when you check out.

The toilet was tiny with a tiny square for a shower which you had to hold above your head, no hot water either which really doesn't feel that great first thing in the morning. On the whole the room was OK because you really don't spend alot of time in it anyway, but it could be improved.

Plenty of places to eat and drink, the hotel location is excellent because you are in walking distance of everything so after a few too many drinks you can pretty much fall into your room from any of the bars.

Entertainment is spot on, there is something for everyone to do from clubbing and drinking to watching latest movies or going to see the hypnotist if you want a quiet night.

The excursions are pretty expensive but its worth it because you do have a good time and fills up your week with loads of different things to do.

The Reps are cool, kind of slow and not very organised but they are great for a laugh once we get going. The stories they tell you are well manky but so funny!!

I would go back to Kavos and to the Odeyseus hotel but I think its better suited for large groups of people rather than two friends or couples.

One warning though you will get eaten alive by mosquitoes, especially in your bed so if you go take plenty of insect repellent.

As we went at the end of the season everthing was broken! Cupboards, bed, drawers! They did fix the bed as soon as we told them it was broken which I was very impressed with.

They changed our towels twice, so we had to ask daily.
Luckily we read previous reveiws and took extra towels.

The sheets were not changed once and the cleaners do turn up if and when they please. (even if your asleep, they will come in your room and shout at you in greek! really funny!)

Pool food is decently priced and quite nice but beware of the wasps-everywhere!

Location is 5* could not be better, close enough to stumble home! If you still want to drink when you get back take advantage of 1 of the only 24hr bars in Kavos!

Beware of the reps when they get on the mic round the pool You will not be able to have a nap! Otherwise its great fun.

The hotel its self was quite good all you needed but just not of the best standard. The rooms were small, the shower had no curtain or a hook so you had to hold the shower whilst washing.

The hotels got a great pool good for getting to know everyone before the nights out also has a 24 hour bar which is great johnny the barman is a legend.

In short, if you are looking for a basic place to crash after a night out and somehwere which provides entertainment during the day this is perfect. The rooms themselves are fairly average, with a very simple cooking area, bathroom and beds. The hotel itself is quite spread out, streching from the bar area around the pool to above the bar next door but all roomsare really quite close to one another.

Cleanliness wise, i think that the hotel was lacking a bit. Although the maid came everyday the room was still dirty and the sheets and towels did not get changed throughout our stay, but as i said earlier its a basic place.

Staff were friendly at times but downright ride at others, but very easy to talk to most of the time and provided most of the amenities that you would need.

Location wise, i would say that the oddysseus apartments are some of the best situated in Kavos. Right at the beginning of the bar strip close to places to eat and the major clubs. Also the good sections of the beach are only about a 10 minute walk away.

So to sum up, pros:
- Amazing location with anything you could neeed walking distance away.
- 24hr bar at the pool
- All rooms have the avaliblity of aircon (49

Absolutely awesome time in Kavos!!

The rooms themselves are basic but clean, the maid came almost every day and generally did a good job. We were lucky as our room had a large bathroom, complete with a bath. The shower is a bit tricky because you've got to hold it yourself but you can easily get a hot shower depending on what time of the day/night it is!

Just make sure you don't tuck into your welcome pack, costs 10euros! and check nothing is broken before you do anything, so that you don't get charged for it when you leave!

The pool it quality, great music playing all day. Our room was not right next to the pool so we didn't get woken up by it!

The 24 hour bar gives a great atmosphere with a legend of a barman! You do have to pay 2euros for a bed but you get a free bottle of water (more if you're clever enough to sneak them out the fridge)

The location is great because it's just on the beginning/end of the bars so you're a 30 second walk from the nightlife but the noise doesn't keep you awake til 6am!

I would definitely recommend the Odysseus to stay, it's got a great location, atmosphere and eventhough it's basic, it's clean.

Hope you have a good a time as we all did!

This hotel was quality!!!

I dont know what everyone expects when they go on a 2wentys style holiday but this hotel was well above average. It was clean, friendly and had a good location!

The rooms were big, good sized kitchen, ok bathroom (but no, shower curtain).

Room was clean but needed some repairs.

Aircon in room but you have to pay an extra 34 euros if you wish to use it. Safety deposit boxes available but again an extra 20 euros to use.

Sunbeds around pool cost 2 euros and if you wish to stay in your room later on the day of your departure that will cost you an extra 15 euros per person (minimum 30 euros per room). Consider all these extras when booking because other hotels/apartments offer some of these extras for free. The food was OK for snacks.

The location was good for the beach and bars and there is a taxi stand directly opposite. The female staff were OK, friendly enough but the male staff were a bit ignorant.

I only met one of the Twentys rep, Zoe, very nice but not up to the standard of other reps I have met on 18-30, Escapades holidays. Entertainment was basically the same CD played over and over again, starting at 8am at full volume which doesn't go down well when you have only been in bed for 2 hours.

So basically OK if you get a cheap deal but if you are paying the full price I would try somewhere else.
