Ionian Beach Club Review, Ionian Flotilla Review

Green Family – East Sussex

We have just returned from a two week holiday with you, and would like to offer some feedback that we thought might be useful.

Your team at the hotel – Giles, Holly, Billy, Emily plus others are absolutely first rate and you have a great team there. Please do pass on our 100% positive feedback to them. Giles couldn’t have done more to make sure we were happy, and Holly and Billy were excellent. Nothing was too much for them and they were very good with our children. They all seemed to work about 18 hours a day and always happily! They were however rushed off their feet when the Bexley pupils came so if we had been at the start of our holiday we may have struggled to get use of dinghies/kayaks etc. Later in the week Matt the sailing instructor (new to Seafarer – ex RAF) came along and he too was excellent, a very good instructor but also excellent with the children and very pleasant company. He went out of his way to help us. I should think that you will be offering them all jobs next season!

For our sailing week, we left from Lefkada. It is not the nicest marina and there are a few issues there as you probably know and spending 2 nights there out of the 7 is not ideal, but I suspect you are limited in choice of marinas in that area. The boats varied in equipment and repair but we are realistic enough to realise that they are charter boats, but on the positive side anything that concerned us was quickly and efficiently dealt with. The beddng was quite old and worn, but short of buying new sheets that couldn’t have been fixed on the spot but is maybe something you could look at? Again, your choice of staff was excellent. John and Collette were absolutely fantastic and were always around, full of very good advice but not intrusive. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great time and that we enjoyed our sailing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone (and in fact already have!) so please pass on our thanks to them.

I hope this feedback is useful.

Beach Club Reviews, Ionian Beach Club Review, Saronic Isles Flotilla Review

Turner Family – Somerset

I note of thanks from the Turners and Almonds who departed on 16th August on your Oceanis 43 from Poros.

The transfer company were great with everyone knowing what we were doing, where going to and someone to meet us at every part of the long journeys at airports, ferries, ports etc

We did 2 different second weeks and that was all sorted to.
Our flotilla around Poros, Hydra was fabulous, John the skipper was great, Becky and then Amelia our hostesses and Andy the engineer helping out to. The boat you chartered in for us was great and arrived 10 minutes after we arrived in Poros. All the extra features were great and fellow sailors on their smaller yachts a bit jealous of the outboard on the tender and autohelm!!!

Couldn’t fault the flotilla trip, beach party was amazing-kids loved it especially the midnight swim after wearing toga’s on the beach, Becky’s food was lovely.

The Ionian beach club was fantastic, great place, quiet but enough to amuse the kids, Ben loved sailing and great winds too, beach staff- Dan, Scott, Giles, Polly, Emma and Clare made the holiday –certainly for amusing our kids..

We usually camp in the UK so this was a great change for us and can’t but help looking at the brochure again for next year!

Thank you to everyone again for making the Turners holiday of a lifetime so great.

Regards
Nicky, Nigel, Sophie ,Ben and Emma
