Cavos Beach House

- Do not go here, the owners are rude and try to scam you. They kicked me and my two friends out on to the streets in the middle of our stay on her birthday. We were very scared being 3 young girls in a foreign country with no where to stay. - From the beginning there were multiple red flags. No one was at reception when we arrived and they just left a big sign with our names and room number and the door was just left open. Then the next day they wanted to charge us 10 euros when we got there and told us we had to pay for ac everyday even though none of this was advertised when booking - On our third day a women, which I believe to be named Maria Pandi, barged in in the morning when I was sleeping and started screaming in my face because I had taken the sheets off the bed to clean and hung them up (because they were dirty since we arrived). This was the first time I had seen this women aswell - Then she tried to blame me for a blood stain on the bottom of the mattress which was not mine and was there when we got there - She then demanded we pay €150 and give her our passports which we refused straight away. She then said we had to pay €60 for a mattress and sheets - A man then showed up who I think was her husband and after we refused to pay them and give our passports they told us to start packing and that we had to leave. We said no because we had paid to be there another 3 days and had no where else to go - Another man showed up and then said we had defecated and urinated in the beds. Which we obviously hadn’t and this was where things started to escalate with them lying and threatening us - The woman then told us she was going to call the police on us and when we asked why she said we had damaged the property. We told her we had videos of the room and evidence that we hadn’t damaged anything. She then told us she can tell the police anything and can pay the police to arrest us. She also said that her cousin was a policeman and he would come and arrest us - The man came up aswell and started shouting at us aswell and threatened to throw our stuff off the balcony. At this point we felt very uncomfortable being there and decided to pack up while they stood outside and kept banging on the door - Also we had an ant infestation when we arrived which the owners refused to deal with and tried to blame us and on the first day when I was not in the room she barged in unannounced and told my friends that we had stained one of the towels. This towel had not been touched since we arrived so the stain was already there. - Also the pools pictured in the advertisement when booking do not belong to the hotel and you are forced to buy a drink there if you want to use the pool or sunbathe there - The wifi advertised does not work and we ended up having to pay to use mobile data

Maria and her husband were incredibly welcoming and friendly to me and my two girl friends when we stayed, even ensuring that we were given little discounts in some of the pricier restaurants and giving us extra toilet roll when we ran out. It stated that the wifi was free "in public spaces" however we were given the password straight away by Maria and were thrilled to see that it reached our apartment well, so no wifi costs! The apartment (two bedroom) that we stayed in was beautiful and well-kept, with three balconies which was amazing and lots of storage space. The kitchen appliances worked perfectly, and the hairdryers were nice and strong which makes a change to places we have stayed before. The fairy lights wrapped around the trees at the entrance was a lovely touch, and the lanterns that occasionally lined the pathway to the building really made the place feel magical. Be aware however that some sites may display Cavos Beach House as including a pool and bar. However this is not the case. Fortunately, there is a lovely pool literally not even a 10 second walk from the apartments and we could stay there for the whole day if we bought a couple drinks (very cheap too!), as well as the beach being minutes away on foot. The apartment was also an easy 5-10 minute walk from the main clubs and pool party locations, meaning that you don't hear a huge racket at night, but also for those in their 20s like us, we could easily walk back when we were drunk at 4am every day. To sum up, Cavos Beach House was a beautiful location for a holiday, and we are definitely recommending it to our other friends (we might even stay there again given the chance!). One person who came back for dinner to the apartment even marvelled at how spacious our apartment was compared to the higher populated hotels! This place should easily be given more stars, and you can tell the hosts put their heart and souls into the place. Thank you!
