Seen it on trip advisor Pete & its up & down ratings . We've stopped at Theos & Angelinas so we've passed it and it looks ok but as you know some people pay 2 star money & want 5 star accomodation so we take trip advisor with a pinch of salt. thanks Bill

I have some family members who have stayed there for two years in a row and intend staying there again next year.
As Pete says, the accommodation isn't fantastic but it is kept clean and as most people only sleep/shower in the apartments it isn't really an issue.
We stay in different accommodation but use the pool regularly. The pool/bar manager is very friendly and the food is excellent.

It's like all reviews, Bill - so much depends on individual expectations and whether your bottle is half full or half empty. To expect five star treatment at places like Valentinos is unrealistic and some people are paying very little for these holidays. I have a 1981 Olympic Holidays brochure indicating that the cost for one person for one week in June in Metallinos Rooms cost £135. The same criteria for 2014 in Valentino's produces a price of £174 - just a 29% increase in 32 years! In that time, what you could buy with £1 in the UK will now cost almost £3.50 meaning that the holiday should be costing some £470 to keep up with inflation. This loss of revenue by local suppliers has to be reflected somewhere.
