It's the New 2010 Holiday Season - First Reports of San Stefanos

<< < (4/21) > >>

Sanstef holfan:
We have just returned from 2 week's holiday in San Stef staying at the Romanza and had a wonderful two week's holiday.We arrived early morning on 4th May and left late evening on 17th May.
The village and hotels were very quite during the first couple of days or so with many of the restaurants closed including Olympia,Ozzie Oils,Yannis.Paradise.Little Prince and Mythica.By the end of the first week I think that the Olive Press was the only restaurant closed, but none off them were very busy.

We last visited San Stef in September 2008 and found that the prices a have gone up a little bit.A special three course meal on offer was generally 9 euros with main meals about 7 to 8.50 euros.The meals in the Tasty Snack were still very good value.A large draft mythos in the Condor bar was 2.50 euros and the wine in restaurants was on average 4.50 euros for half a carafe.Some of the San Stef trips had actually been reduced in price although the one we went on to Paleokastritsa was 15 euros and was excellent value.

On the meals we had in San Stef we found the Mythica where we went on opening night to be one of the best along with the Romanza, although we had good meals at 2 Stars,Yannis.Barras,Teresa and Olympia..On the downside we did not enjoy the Nafiska.Although the food  was ok, the service was very bad and was not very welcoming.We went for a meal there during our last visit to San Stef in September 08 and although we had a bad night there then we put it down to just one of those things and decided to give it another try-bad mistake.

If anyone needs any information on San Stef in 2010 please let me know and I will try to answer.

There was a certain amount of concern around not only that it was quieter than usual but that visitors were not spending as much.   This was certainly true in our own case where we spent about 25% less than we did in 2008, not a deliberate thing - we had the money with us, just didn't spend it.  Not sure what we didn't spend it on though!

Gordonc, we eagerly await your report.  Hope you have a great time.

Holfan, what was the weather like?  Did you have a meal in Sunset?  How long did it take from the airport to the resort?  Thanks.

Terryand Joy, you tend to spend less when the resort is quiet.  When you get caught up with the conversations with other holiday makers in the bars and tavernas you end up having a few glasses more.  Or is that just me?   ;D

Rod...... That's you and us too !!!!   

Thanks for the reviews, they are the next best thing to being there........... A bit like secondary smoking?? 8)
