Hi Pat, not 100% sure, but if you mean Maria from Marias apartments on the beach at start of Canal d'amour then think it is. There's another Marias apartments a bit further up road going into Peroulades but never been there. The Maria I know is very smart, married to Spiros and have a son also Spiros who often does the quizzes at Marias on beach. She doesn't say much but is always around seeing what's going on, quite a formidable lady. Doesn't take rubbish from anyone. Passed Angelinas often and they look nice, but never been in them. Hope you have a fab holiday. I'm not going till next August, so ages yet to wait. No snow down this way yet (Berkshire) but meant to be coming, just icy here. Take care Julie...

Hi Julie,
Yes it is Maria's on the beach & she is just as you describe but a lovely person too, her daughter Angelina is a super person, nothing to much trouble, she has stunning looks, in fact is a former Miss Greece.
Yet more snow here today & more to come if we believe the forecasters!!
Bye,take care,
Pat xx

Just had a look myself on-line with 1st Choice and whilst Angelina's is advertised there, you can't book up for it, so looks like people may have to book up independantly [www.angelinahotel.com]. Seems a lot of apartments are going this way now. Angelina's are offering 10% off holiday price, if you book direct with them at the moment...

HI,
Well how strange about Angelina'a as I have my booking confirmation in front of me now from First Choice but as you say you can't book on line, I too wonder why.
Will ring Co-op Travel up tomorrow to see whats going on, usually book online but Co-op had a good deal on when we booked in October.
Hope we are not going to be messed about by First Choice, will keep you posted.
Cheers

Hi
Its me again,further to my message yesterday re Angelinas & First Choice.
I rang Co-Op travel this morning who in turn rang First Choice. The situation at the moment is that First Choice are waiting to sign new contracts with Angelinas & right at this moment in time our booking with them will go through but it will be another couple of months before First Choice know. It may be that Angelinas don't want to be tied to First Choice.
Cheers

Thanks for the info Pat. Hope it doesn't mess your holiday plans about. I suppose if they don't sign with First Choice then you will be offered another choice of apartment.

Hi All,
Re Angelinas & First Choice, I now have an update.
Co-op Rang me today to say First Choice are definitely not going to Angelinas this year.
First Choice have booked us into Socrates, same date, airport etc, its £220 more but First Choice are letting us have it for same price as Angelinas, we have accepted this, the other option was to cancel & get a free refund, that was never an option.
Does anyone know which end of Sidari Socrates is? Looks from brochure like its on a beach, hoping its same end as Angelinas, any help gratefully received. Thanks Pat xx

Pat if you look in my photos you will see a photo of Socrates, its the one to the front, next to it is Kanali, behind it is Olgas and in the distance Zafiris. Not stayed there but have never heard anything bad about it.
