Jacqui's photos and the first review of this season

Jacqui and Ber (correct spelling?) were in Angelos Village from the 4th of May. They were among our first guests for this season. We had the chance to have some nice talks by the pool and at the bar, since it was not so busy and they also became good friends with Greg (who took Mario place, when Mario got a job at the airport).
They left some days ago and today Jacqui, who is a professional photographer, you can see her work at www.jmcsweeneyphotography.co.uk
sent me on my email these really nice photos of the hotel that you see below.
Jacqui also took the time and the effort to write an excellent review under the title "Fab times @ Angelos village" in Tripadvisor (you can read it by clicking on Tripadvisor).
Thank you Jacqui and Ber for visiting us and for sending us these nice photos and this nice review. You have regards from everybody in Angelos Village!!!!

Happy New Summer season!!!!!

Angelos village is open since the 1st of May and new guests keep coming in! During this past winter some new permanent residents came to the hotel and the cat families are growing every month. I only managed to take the picture of one of them, so here she is the new kitty of Angelos village, expecting already her kittens.


The sun is shining and Spring is everywhere at the hotel as you can see in the pictures. In the morning and during sunset there is an amazing smell from the roses and the other flowers that have bloomed now. Angelos has taken good care of them during winter and now the garden pays him back by offering us such beautiful flowers and smells.

We all are here and we want to wish our past, present and future guests to have a happy summer and an amazing holiday and we promise to keep trying to offer the best possible for your holidays.
