As you said personally and that it what it is. My Personal feeling is that most people dont want
Bed and Breakfast, that is why they book an apartment and not a hotel, as for happy hour why
is that not done now why wait until they go independant.
I am certainly not slating the Tsaros Apartments as I am going myself in August

For me an issue Tsaros could have is people staying there but not using the Pool Bar as it is 50yds away. The reason previous people DO keep using the Pool Bar is the extremely friendly welcome, excellent food and good atmosphere of an evening.

The onus is to get people in-the-door and breakfast is a low cost way of forming that bond, whilst 10pm is prime-time walking back to the chalets time to capture customers.

To answer your question as to why not do these already, well it's a fair point but I suppose theyve just delivered whats been asked of them as Thomson customers and not been too proactive in attracting custom.

Personally delighted as we can now book us five into his apts. Also we can book holiday durations that suit us, and we can be happy that Thannissis gets the money in his pocket to support his family.

We will do our very best to drum direct trade up for him, and I think they can really make a good go of it independently.

The customers they get from Thomsons can be hard work with little return anyway, i.e not as much bar trade these days etc. If he goes B&B for direct bookings, throws in a 10pm Happy Hour of sorts, they will thrive.

Modern life throws these kind of challenges at all of us, and they can definitely come out of this the right way.

It would be completely illogical for Thomsons to drop Tsaros. As mentioned it is massively popular, and imho the best accomodation in SanStef (sorry Christina xx).

I know its safe money, but Thannassis would cream it in in private hires if Thomsons were dumb enough to do that.

I'll add to that. Our hosts were all wonderful again this year, and we hope they have a relaxing & rewarding rest.

7 months is a long rest too!
