Hi - we have just returned from the Mythos on Friday. This was our first visit to San Stef and we absolutely loved it. We explored every day, and in our opinion only, and for what suits us, the Mythos end of the resort is the best. It was so quiet but only 5 mins walk to the centre, whereas because of my health problems going up that bank to Romanza would kill me!! Going back to the Mythos apartments they were absolutely gorgeous, modern, fairly new and very very clean. Fantastic pool. Thomas Cook advertise 8 units but in actual fact there is only 5, 3 maisonnettes and 2 studios. The maid and her family live in one of the maisonnettes, so it was like having your own private villa and pool. The only draw back , and which (only thing) would probably make us choose somewhere else next year, was the problems with communication with the owners regarding any problem. Air conditioning and the safe deposit box were the big thing for us. The couple who had been in our apartment, and who we met before they left told us that they had tried for close on 2 weeks to get AC with no luck. This is because the old gentleman who lives behind the property and who does general maintenance, pool cleaning etc, speaks no English so you have to wait to see Jasmin the rep (lovely girl who tries her best all the time) who then has to try to contact the owners who live in Sidari, then come back to you. This can take days to get anything done, and is an absolute pain. As it happens we managed without AC but the last couple of days were just too hot without it. We met Gillywoo and her husband who came during our week to the next door apartment and they did manage after a couple of days to get George over from Sidari to put the AC on, but these things should be done quicker and Jasmin and the clients should not have to go through this farce.
This lovely little complex is gorgeous, could be absolutely fantastic, with only a few little tweeks, but if you can get the AC resolved quickly (if you need it) we would have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend here to anyone. Even if you can't don't be put off we had an absolutely fabulous holiday, are returning next year, to the Mythos is the "tweeks" are done, if not the Rose Garden, Perros Hotel, or the harbour side of the resort to the Fedre Mare.
The food in the resort is lovely, very reasonable and good quality as are the drinks - 2.50 euros for a large mythos everywhere, set meals around 9 euros but to be honest we ate a number of times at Beachcombers which was fantastic and a good quality starter, main meal and bottle of wine was only about 30 euros for the two of us. What a setting, sunset you really must see. Exchange rate in the resort was 1.20.
So envious of all of you who have there holiday to look forward to - roll on 2011!!! Enjoy!
