Hi and thanks for watching and commenting. It was in school holidays - May/June Holidays for one week over the Bank Holiday. For the price I would have still expected 5 stars, for us in our opinion it was expensive to come away from it not feeling it was the 5 star Hotel we had paid for, for the reasons given within the video. If we had just the one holiday a year, then maybe we would splash out a bit more - but what we try to do is as many holidays that we can within our budget each year, equally we still want luxury sometimes and are willing to pay for it - this place just wasn't it sadly!. Again, all in our opinion and many reviews say the opposite, but many agree with us too. Often when we look at pricing for the May/June school holidays it can often be as expensive as holidays within the 6 weeks break, so don't think much difference with the expensive between different holidays - will definitely be cheaper outside school holidays.
We always stay in the same 3* all inclusive in fuerteventura its really cheap and we love it the food looks similar to what you got but if I was at a 5* and paid 5* prices I would not be so happy and would expect so much more. The place we stay in fuerteventura the reviews are awful in trip advisor and we panicked the first time before we went but we've been back 4 times now. Hope your next holiday is more successful and also hope your feeling better health wise now x
Well said Tracey!, you see if you get a 3 star Hotel that get's it right for you and what you have paid, then it's a winner. I think that was my issue with the reviews, 5 star status and what we have paid - I just expected better!. Although reviews are great in most cases, clearly there are some instances where not everyone is right. This Hotel regular has 5 star reviews, but some 1 stars coming through with similar things to what we have said. Really sad, the place is beautiful and the Hotel has real potential to be a true 5 star!, if only the Food and Service especially was improved. I'm not feeling well at all I will be honest but a mixture of a virus and something else that keeps happening to me!, thanks for asking Tracey. I am so glad I got ahead with my videos! - see you on the next one tomorrow, A Day in the Brownie Life in Kefalonia - think you will enjoy this one, just a normal day with us on holiday, really enjoy filming that type of content. Coming to the end now of Kefalonia Vlogs so you will start seeing more in the way of Hauls & Lifestyle etc. Thanks for your comments.x
I am currently in this hotel. I totally agree with the food situation but I thought we could get drinks for free at the Apollo bar as I have booked all inclusive however I had to pay! Normally all inclusive means what it says in the name!
You need to ask what is included in your All Inclusive. For example, I wanted a Baileys - didn't mind a copy but this was not included after I had asked, so didn't order. There is a set All Inclusive Cocktail List. Wine will only be included from the machines not the bottles! and things like soft drinks will be the copies, Milkshakes are extra. Best thing is to ask whether what you want is included before you order to avoid paying. Hope you still manage to enjoy your holiday and best piece of advice...go out and explore the Island, it's beautiful and your holiday will be more complete than just staying at the Hotel. Glad someone agrees with me on the food!, thanks for that. There were some NEW Beach area bars opening as we were leaving, maybe check them out too - as if you are going to pay any extras, may as well have different scenery. Check out the rest of our Kefalonia Playlist Vlogs for any other helpful videos. Thanks so much for watching.
That is maybe more reasonable to be 4 star, but the actual Hotel is classed as a 5 star in general. Many people, as I explained in the video really did enjoy this Hotel and the Food. Food is very subjective, so just because we didn't think it was 5 stars doesn't mean someone else will feel the same. However, I wanted to video our experience as this place is definitely not for everyone. Thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Holiday.
Hi Jason, I absolutely don't mind advising what we paid - I suppose money for things is also subjective, someone might think expensive and others might not. In our opinion, this holiday cost too much for what we got for it - we paid £2700 for the 3 of us (including a free child place) for 7 nights All Inclusive. I suppose our comparison would be, we paid less for our Crete and Turkey holidays which were definitely more 5 stars, especially Aquila Rithymna Beach Hotel in Crete for it's Food, Drinks, Service and Accommodation. I just feel considering this included a free child place, so if we had gone on a different day and not got a free child place and paid a third more, which some people might have paid...gosh pricing up further away places in the Caribbean and luxury resorts like Maldives we wouldn't be paying much more!. For us, Holidays are what we save all our money for, as that's what we choose to do, but equally we always try to look at value or at least where we pay for expensive holidays, we would at least expect an overall package to match the money we have paid for it.

Assume out of school holidays because that seems very reasonable to me. Would be quite a lot more in main six week hols.

Ive just booked with TUI for this hotel for September paid just over 1000. Tui call this 4 star

I suspect I'm not the only one watching this video thinking: how much did it cost? Considering your comments, rather too much, i suspect.
