Can they all make it pay?

My holiday review

July 02, 2025, 02:10:36 AM by Tredegar Boy

Got back last Friday (27th) after our 2 week stay at Fedra and our first visit since 2019.

Well there have been lots of changes of which some were good others less so.
Staying at Fedra was once again brilliant. Dimi and Charitini have again raised their game with excellent accommodation, service and a breakfast which is so extensive you don't need anything else to eat until the evening.

The overall quality of food in the places we ate was very good indeed. We ate at Fantasea, Manthos, Mistral, Sandhill, Waves, Cicala, Olympia, Little Prince and Zorba's. Surprisingly we found you had to book a table for most places especially Manthos, Sandhill and Olympia. You had no chance of getting a table by just rocking up as in previous years. The only place we ate at which didn't seem especially busy was Cicala which was difficult to understand as the food was very very good. Prices were very much higher than our last visit and in some cases very much on a par with what we experience here in south Wales.

The weather was gorgeous.....30 degrees each day with a variable breeze.

The beach was a different matter. The area to the left of the stream was covered in seaweed which by the time we left was 3/4 foot high. No clearance in the 2 weeks we were there. On top of that dogs were being allowed onto the beach especially in the evenings where we saw some owners allowing their dog to do their busy at the waters edge. Seeing this was a first for us. Apparently the responsibility for the cleanliness of the beach falls to the mayor. He's clearly failing in that duty. The sunbeds to the right of the stream were packed together as the license is based on the space rather than the number of beds. It looked a bit like Benidorm from a distance.

Even though the beach was relatively quiet the taverna's were very busy from what we saw. Disappointingly the Condor was the only place that had any live music and that was a bit ropey.

All in all it was a lovely holiday. A special trip to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary but I don't see us going back in the immediate future as the amount of money we spent was comparable to our Sky Princess cruise last September and then we didn't have to fly.

Tereza

May 29, 2025, 02:48:58 PM by spesh49

Is there anyone staying at the Tereza in the coming weeks ?
Reason I ask is we've booked for next year in a Junior suite with a sea view, there are no pictures yet on the tui website, we have had an email from the Tereza saying neither Junior suites have a sea view, we would really appreciate if anyone is there and confirm either way then we can sort it from there with tui if is hasn't the view.

Many Thanks

Here now….

May 23, 2025, 08:58:19 AM by Radarman

Arrived yesterday, weather has been mixed, cool at night, cardigan or similar advised. Dined at Little Prince, Aris as friendly as ever, had stamna, was really good, and Mrs, had garlic mushrooms with bread. Village is quieter than normal, many places are seeing fewer visitors, but hopefully pick up today, Friday, as normally a changeover day.
