Have you every wondered what it would be like to find that perfect hotel, spotlessly clean, location just right, amazing pool area, fabulous friendly staff and where every thought has been given to ensure that anything and everything you will ever need is provided right there when you need it? Well, we just found it at Edvokia Suites in Kato Gouves. Arranged via Sunshine Holidays as a last-minute replacement for our holiday to Skopelos which was cancelled thanks to storm Daniel, with a Jet2 Flight and transfer with Holiday Taxis. Note, if you use Holiday Taxis for your transfer, the bus will not drop you off at the nearest walkable point to Evdokia. The minibus dropped the previous holidayers at the Astir Hotel at the bottom of the road, which is the closest by foot, but then proceeded to the Magda Hotel which we were told was our drop off point (closest on map, but not accessible through the buildings on the opposite side of the road, which backs on to side of Evdokia). So we had to wheel our cases back down the road back passing the Astir again and up the narrow road to the Evdokia. It would have been better for the minibus to drop us off at the Astir so a small inconvenience but once we arrived it really didn’t matter because we were warmly greeted on our arrival by our friendly host Anthony who offered complimentary ice cold homemade refreshing lemonade whist we waited for our room to be ready. Not long to wait and we were shown to room 304 which was an excellent top corner position overlooking the pool area, which we thought was the best location and we were really happy with the room we were allocated. The room was lovely and cleaned to a very high standard, spotless. The suite is large with separate bedroom, twin beds, wardrobe and dressing table, chair with mirror and twin drawers. We were also left with a mosquito/inspect plug and tablets, very useful and the first time we have had such a device left for us. The wardrobe has plenty of storage and useful space above large enough to house two suitcases and get them out of the way. In the wardrobe the is also a small safe for your valuables for which there was no charge. There were only six coat hangers, but not a problem as were usually find shortage of hangers for our clothes and always bring some of our own. There was a shelf above with blankets and more pillows if required. There is also double shelving unit between the beds which was also very useful for your belongings. The best thing was the really comfortable beds, very deep mattress, never a bad night's sleep. The main room area had two double sofa beds and corner table and was very spacious. The air conditioning unit was in here which generated enough air circulation to cool the entire area including the bedroom. The air conditioning was again free of charge and worked perfectly, and silently. The kitchen area includes fridge with icebox unit, large enough to freeze one litre bottles of water for the beach, double r
