Hi Lisa.....welcome!
I have been to San Stef only for a 1 day visit, that was 2 years ago, when I was staying in the resort next door...Arillas, my point is, after visiting San Stef for just 1 day I knew I had to come back and soon! I doubt anyone on this forum will hear a bad word said against the place, personally I can't wait to get out there, and have a full Holiday in San Stef, and I'll post my findings on here when i get back, hey! if the Sun shines, and they don't run out of Mythos, and the Sea doesn't dry up I'll be happy! I'm sure you won't be dissapointed
Colin

lisa.... browse this site... you will see that where ever you go in SS you will be made welcome... If you are looking for Blackpool in the sun then ss if not the right choice. On the other hand if you want a genuine place with enough going on its your own personal paradise...

San Stef to use an old cliche is what you make it. You have to bend to her will but that only means chill, relax and go with the flow. If it were a sweet it would be a REFRESHER

I hope you are younger and fitter than me as I find that hill a bit tough at times!!
However - on the plus side, the places up the hill try harder, so you will have nice Apts.!!
When I went last year in May, some places were not open, and the entertainment may not be fully up and running.
The water sports were also not working until June!
Expect it to be a little quieter in May. Try the Condor in the evening for a bit of dancing and entertainment.
Also check out the other bars like Bar38, Athens Bar, Thomas Bay Hotel, etc.
you will soon find a bar you like - you will love it and return!!

If you like live music Silver Star puts acts on. As does Bar38 and 3w's Internet Cafe. All well worth a nights visit. If you like good food go to Ozzy Oils on barbecue night. Kerry is a superb singer!

Yes - still trying to get over the Silver star crooner, reminded me of Jim Bowen (bullseye), and about as boring!!
I don't recall his name - may have been rigor mortis!!

What kind of music? not Euro-pop I hope

Post by: joan on May 04, 2009, 11:32:48 AM
Never heard Euro pop there just good musicians, guitarists and singers. I think the crooner that Tony was talking about was probably  John, he does Frank Sinatra etc he also did a spot at 3Ws last year.

They had a superb guitarist at 3W's last year. Did a bit of Gary Moore stuff. Pity his singing was a few degrees under!
San Stefanos is luckily a Disco free zone!

Was that Groucho or Darren Day? both are good the other year Bar 38 had a duo guitarist I think they were german... but they were really so good, and then there were the salsa dancers.

tony was it Gerry James or something like that
used to sit on our balcony in barras and listen but it was the same as the year before, same songs, same banter, same old jokes  but it was ok as your on your holidays

You can have fun at Thomas Bay with their own Anarchic Bingo! Nicos is pure unadulterated Nuts and it is a laugh to hear Heather his wife berate him. Their quizzes are equally entertaining! Watch out for Christos - he has a favourite number!!!
Bar38 also does a good quiz night with Mick & Helen of the late lamented Sundowner!

You will love the Athina - nice staff - you may fancy a change of food from there - budget for a nice meal out one evening!!!
Great hotel - best pool in the resort - and you get a prize if you can make "Grumpy" smile (he runs the pool bar!!).
We are not staying there - have done twice before - always use the facilities!!
Right on the Beach as well!!
