Hi Sandra
It gave me some cause for concern to read that lot of Romanza regulars are staying elswhere in 2010.So much so that i searched every review forum on the internet to find the numbers involved and their possible reasons for doing so.The only adverse comments i could find were on Trip Advisor they were for oct 2009 hols and mainly complained about the breakfasts.This caused the owner Mike to post a reply blaming the pittance he receives from Thomson for Oct bookings.None of these poor reviews appeared to come from Romanza regulars.The other thing that is  slightly strange is that 2 of them were posted Jan/Feb ,a long delay for someone who had something to get of their chest.
I honestly know of only one person a friend of mine who in 2010 instead of visiting the Romanza twice is making one visit .The second visit is to the Teresa where i believe he got a good price.
I am not disputing what you say is true only that i cannot find any evidence.

To be fair Sandra, the other Half board places (can't comment on Teresa's / Perros, as never did the half board or B&B there),
Breakfast is only ever OK and usually continental.
Thomas Bay, Athina Hotel, Nafsika, Golden Beach in the old days, etc. etc.
All have a top-up fee, for the better breakfasts / full English.

We found the best Breakfast's in the resort to be had at Two Stars or the Condor, beat all the Hotels for quality & substance.

I still think that the only disadvantage for those up the hill  - - - is the Hill!
avantage = great views, better rooms in most cases,
disadvantage = (unless fairly fit) - that slog up the hill.
People get older and find it a struggle - that's all that puts me off - Romanza is a great Hotel.

the breakfast at the terresa hotel only my opinion and ive stayed twice at the athina h/b is very good last year if you wanted a full english breakfast it was two euros extra for that you got egg bacon sausage tomatoes beans  glass of fresh orange juice two toasts butter and tea or coffee that cant be bad for that price and it was cocked to order and served hot ,but its true that the owners  get pittence from thomsons, leo told me he only gets eight euro a day per person to stay at the hotel scandalous of thomsons ,such a lovely hotel and family and views.yammas mike. :-* :'( :-\

Ps     You can get the same English Breakfast deal at the Romanza and after reading how the Teresas is prepared I will stick with the one i know and enjoy.
