Just returned (Friday, 10th October) from an excellent week away at The Mimosa. From the minute we got on the coach at the airport I knew we were gonna have a great time, the rep on board the bus, Liam, was an absolute darling and we found out he was our hotel rep too. Arrived at the hotel about 10.30pm, got to our room on the ground floor (always a bonus), did a quick unpack and change and went to the bar for a drink (well it was warm). We had a ball. Soon got to know all the bar staff and waiters and built up a brilliant rappor with them, I have to say that Leo, Alex, Spiros, Spiros, George, George, Stellios, Dimitris, Vassilie (or Bill as he told us to call him)are all excellent at their jobs, very efficient, and so friendly. Alan, the compere, is a lovely chap and not forgetting Lee, the DJ, although we didn't have much to do with him. Mike, the owner, is a lovely chap, always spoke to us when we saw him and even promised us some good weather after a day of wind and rain (and he was right). The girls on reception are brilliant too. Food wise, we didn't have any complaints, it was always warm, ok the breakfasts aren't quite what we're used to a home but it was there when you asked for it, what more can you want. Evening meals were excellent. The entertainment was good, a few renditions of Alice during the week, on Karaoke and even Mike, the owner, sang us a few songs, in fact got a few encores!!! Our rep, Liam, was fantastic, a lovely young lad, will do anything for anyone, and even though he'd only been in resort a couple of weeks he seemed to be coping very well with anything that was thrown at him. If we could guarantee that the same staff were going to be there year in year out I'm sure we'd visit there on a regular basis, it was just absolutely fantastic, the best holiday I've had so far! Hello to anyone else who was there while we were, we met some lovely people, especially Keith and Fiona, we were the noisy ones who were always giggling and messing around with the staff - Mel, Janet and Dawn

I can't remember if we've travelled with Thomson's before so I guess if this is our first time, first impressions are very good. We arrived in Corfu airport about 8.40pm local time, waited for baggage and then proceeded outside to be met by very friendly Thomson's reps who told us which bus to catch to resort. On the bus we were greeted by our rep for the journey, Liam, who happened also to be the rep in our hotel, what a bonus! Struck up great rappor with Liam from the onset, he's a lovely lad and very good at his job. Every stop we made he got off the bus and escorted people to their hotels/apartments, when we arrived he accommpanied us in to reception and then went on his way again with the rest of the passengers. We saw quite a lot of Liam during our stay, firstly our welcome meeting the following morning, very well conducted and he seemed to know a lot about Corfu and Sidari itself, even though he'd only been in resort 2 weeks, he'd previously been on Thomson's Gold and then moved to Acharavi and Roda before being placed in Sidari. We booked three trips with Thomson's, an Island Tour (because I wanted to go to Paleokastritsa), the Greek Night and we got Corfu Town by night free as part of package they were running. Monday morning we waited for our coach for the Island Tour and it didn't turn up, after a few phone calls it would seem that someone had made a mess of the bookings, everyone started to blame Liam but I'm sure it wasnt his fault. Anyway, we waited for Liam to finish his welcome meeting and confronted him about it, he didn't seem phased at all and got straight on the phone to sort it out, we even managed to change our trips around so we did the same ones in different order. Liam was very apologetic about it and wouldn't stop apologising every time he saw us. Everything else went smoothly during the week and we had a fantastic time and I'm sure it was made all the better by the friendliness that Liam showed to every guest he came across. THis lad deserves recognition for a job well done, if Thomson's could be proud of any of their reps then Liam is the one!!!
