| We had a fantastic time, I stayed with my Daughter Tamsin (12), we just loved the place, very friendly close to beach, shops and restaurants, Fflori made us feel at home everyday was a laugh, very sad to leave and so much want to go again. Everyone says the bathroom is a let down but hey you can't have everything! | |

Just returned from Charlie's and really miss it already!!! | |
I wish I had taken his job offer and stayed! I really can't say anything bad about the apartments as they were cleaned daily and were spacious...except for the bathroom. One of the best things about the Venus is that they really make you feel at home! Charlie was like a dad, always looking after everyone, and Flori was like your really annoying older brother, especially when he was drawing on my back while I was eating, always tripping us up and trying to give me Chinese burns (which is odd considering he is Albanian!!!). 
Hope to return in the future!!!

just come back form spending a week (6 - 13 July 2007) in the Venus apartments with my boyfriend and my daughter. Got to say Charlie and Flori were real friendly and Charlie makes a wicked club sub sandwich. Appartments nice and maid was very friendly and did a super job of cleaning up. We got a 2 bed apartment thinking it was all on 1 level in fact it was a split level place. Bathroom was basic and small but did the job its designed for lol. The pool was amazing and my daughter was never out it. The shops are just a short walk away so eating out isnt a problem. While you are there you must visit Auqaland its amazing lots to do and food is ok, dont book throught the rep (they wanted 40 euros per adult and 23 euros per child) go into town and book it, we got it for 59 euros for the 3 of us and that included the bus too. Spent most nights eating out. Oh yeah dont forget you have to share the bathroom with the local frogs and little lizards that are living there . Found this out as went as boyfriend went to bathroom to find a lizard in it (chicken wouldnt move it so i did) and i found a frog sitting on the shower tray one morning while i was getting ready to shower best laugh was i jumped in and it jumped out. If you are looking for peace and quiet and no sun lougers to fight over all the time, this is the place to go. The only thing i would say its not really for young kids, more for couples and older brats. Either that or we got there at the wrong time of the month. Will say this get lots of mozzy repealent mainly because we found out the hard way got attacked the first night. Will be going back , just dont know when yet  | |

| venus apartments.....hmmm what can you say? The apartments are very basic but clean. Bathroom is small as is kitchen but if you want to sit in them all day and night, then why go away? They are good for a base to sleep in and go out from....If you are expecting top notch apartments, go elsewhere.
Charlie and Flori are very nice. Flori is very friendly, as flirty as you make him, but equally as nice and friendly to men as well as women (he and his wife are expecting their first baby in September so hope all goes well for them, and Charlie lets him have a bit of time off...he does long long hours and always seems to be there, from when you arrive at some ungodly hour (like we did) to when you leave (at an equally rubbish pick up time....) Flori is 24/7!!!
Pools are nice, cold but refreshing! Jacuzzi wasn't working....not really a hardship tho' Didn't spoil my week!
Greek night is put on IF they can get enough people to agree....30 usually, so if you want it, drum up support!
Mozzys are rife, as are giant hornets so beware. Plug in mozzy repellants are worth the price.
Bins emptied every day, beds made every day, change of towels and bed linen, possibly twice over the week....
All in all, I had a good week, as did my friend and her two kids. We didn't stray far as had no pushchair for the young one, and there is little within toddler walking distance, beach included!
Would I go again? Yes. I would get better flight times though because ours were pants.....
If you are going soon, say to Flori " All Right Love" from Sarah and Vicky..... :0) | |

the maid came in near enough everyday for us. we didnt eat in so did not need to use the kitchen so that did not bother us. i flooded the bathroom after each use of the shower but im just messy and did not want to put the curtain round. but we mopped it up after use with towels so it wasnt too bad. the bins were changed everytime the maid came in and the bed linen was changed about 4 times a week so i couldnt complain at that. we also got fresh towels every other day.
if you were in atall whilst the maid was working she wouldnt have came in so maybe thats why you didnt get the maid that often.
the pool area was great and such a laugh. it wasnt loud all the time only now and again when flori came outside and people wanted to get him in the pool so everyone joined in. there were some people that didnt join in and who would find it annoying i soppose but at the end of the day your on holiday to have a good time and thats what we certainly did.  | ||||||||||

We have just returned from a week at the Venus apartments. Good location near beach and between Roda and Acharavi about 10-15 mins walk in each direction. The pool was set in nice grounds, there were notices saying no ball games for safety reasons but this was ignored by both staff and visitors and sometimes it got very boisterous. The jacuzzi wasn't working during our stay. The couple of lunches we had there were good but the bar area was tatty and grimy. The apartment was of a very low standard, particularly the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen was ill equipped, most utensils needed a wash before use, the oven was broken, and there were tatty notices everywhere with do's and don'ts. The whole apartment was very gloomy with low wattage or missing bulbs. The roof leaked when it rained and soaked the bed. The bathroom, well! We have visited several Greek islands but this was the worst. After our first shower there the whole bathroom smelt of urine, the floor flooded and the water ran into the kitchen area and we had to stem the flow with towels. The bathroom was tiny, dirty, no hot water, after running the shower for 10 minutes or so you may get some warm water, the towel rail fell off the wall. Our maid service consisted of emptying the bins for 5 days, occasional mopping of bathroom floor only nothing else was ever cleaned, change of linen once and no beds made.
We had an early morning flight 02:30 pickup, we requested the use of a courtesy room as advised by our rep. this turned out to be a dirty shower cubicle for an extra charge. | ||||||||||
