Hi Gav 

I've just been reading your post regarding Fedra Mare and we've just come back from 2 weeks there. I can understand why you would feel a bit put out but I dont think things come across as they should in email. I got married whilst I was over there this time and we booked all but 2 of their apartments, whilst there I found out that Charitini had told some of the regulars that they would have to wait to book until she had confirmed my dates. I suppose the point I'm trying to make is that because they dont advertise through tour operators they depend on the 'regulars' for the majority of their income throughout the season and they have to tread a thin line to keep everyone happy with the balance of people who go back year after year and 'newbies'.

We actually saw more new faces this year than ever before and I know that their response has obviously come as a disappointment but I wouldn't write them off completely. They are truly lovely people who would bend over backwards to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible.

Anyway thats my thought for the day :) Whatever you end up doing I hope you have a fantastic time :)

Tredegar Boy:
Totally agree Googleberry

I'm a regular (this will be our 7th visit next month) and I've often had to take the weeks that were available to us as it does get booked up very quickly. Many people, us included, book for the following year when there. We'll be hoping to do so this year but accept that with so many regulars and newbies to accomodate we may be disappointed.

If you read the reviews for the Fedra on Tripadvisor you will see that comments relating to last summer are mosty from new customers. So its not all regulars, not by any stretch of the imagination.

Agree with googleberry and Tredegar boy - we went last year for the first time and asked about this year for our son (who stayed there last year) wedding.  Because we need beginning of August we had to wait to see - she (Hari) juggled and juggled to give us an apartment and a studio this year - taken by our son and daughter and their families and we and other family are staying at Christina's.  Can't hear a bad word said about this lovely couple at Fedra!  They will do anything they can for old and new customers. I think their genuinity showed in their reply to Gavlah

I'm not saying they aren't genuine and I've already said it was a nice enough email.
You only have to read the TA reviews to see how highly customers rate them.

However...... they are  are running a hotel and I'm someone who wants to stay in that hotel. They have vacancies but yet I can't book!! I understand they view the regulars as valued friends but I was more surprised than anything that I couldn't spend my money!
We've just booked our flights today and I can't afford to wait till the end of August on the off chance they may have a room!
We are in the resort next week and will be having a look at some apartments etc for next year's hols!

Take a walk up to the Perros and look at the 2 bedroomed apartment Gav! Stefanos will be happy to show you around and I'm sure you will love it! (Very good price aswell)
