“Excellent value for money”

Club Olympus

15 Jan 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

our first visit to club olympus in November 2007. We usually stay at the Monterey up cardiac Hill with club la costa but as it was just a weeks visit to take chistmas presents to my son and his girfliendWe have passed it many times but have read a few bad reports on the internet so we were quite worried. When we arrived about dinner time the staff were very friendly and gave us the key to our room straight away. Although not quite up to club la costa gold crown standard the room was large with 2 reasonable sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. It is within very easy reach of everything so it saved on taxis.Just 2 minutes to the bus stops and shops and restaurants.Maybe we are just lucky to be members of club la costa as they do have a few special rooms, but wont hesitate to go again.

“Disappointing”

Club Olympus

We visited Club Olympus through RCI Points over Christmas.
The location is perfect; you can walk to a number of bars and restaurants in a few minutes. There is an Italian very close by (Rissini's or something like that) the food is superb; I can definately recommend the fillet steak! The beach is also only a short walk away.

The accommodation is poor compared to other RCI resorts we have stayed at. 4 adults staying in a 1 bedroom apartment. Space was not too bad and a lovely big balcony. The TV set was tiny and required a €15 deposit for the remote control and did not have the usual number of channels, i.e no sports so the boys were very disappointed! The towels were only changed once during the week, no where near enough when your on holiday and showering/hair washing constantly due to being at beach/in pool.

The pool area in tiny compared to how many apartments are there and although they state no reserving of towels on sunbeds this rule is not adhered to and noone seems to be monitoring it; 95% of the sunbeds were broken .i.e. did not sit up and if you do not get down to the pool for 9am you would be hard pushed to get one at all; they also charge €1.20 for a sunbed cushion!!

The pool bar/restaurant is again very small; service is fine and the food is ok; be warned if your apartment is close as its gets very noisy with some pretty terrible karoke which goes on way after midnight!

All in all a very disappointing resort as you normally get alot better when booking through RCI Points.

“Dont rent apartment 208 from Deanna Dewey”

3/5 found this review helpful

Nice complex in a good location but apartment 208 which we rented from Deanna Dewey was dirty and in desperate need of reburbishment. Both the front door and patio doors posed a security risk, it looked like they has been broken into and badly repaired.
After booking our holiday I read a bad review about her apartments and e-mailed her seeking confirmation the apartment would be clean on our arrival - despite her assurance it wasn't.. the place was filthy, the kitchen was covered in grease and there was even crumbs left on the work surface. The wardrobe doors didn't slide properly, and we had to wipe them out before we could unpack, the headboards were hanging off the wall, one sofa bed was broken and wouldn't open the other so old and worn I could feel the wooden slats.
Three of us were staying in the apartment but on arrival only two beds had been made up, the safety deposit box wasn't working or the water heater so we had to contact Janet (easier said than done!) Sheets with holes in them were delivered , the water heater was sorted but only provided enough hot water for two showers.
Whilst we knew there wasn't a maid service we did expect the apartment to be clean on our arrival and to be provided with cleaning materials in order to keep it that way during our stay but weren't. We were there for 11 nights and didn't get clean sheets during our stay.
Overall the apartment needs a visit from Kim & Aggie (how clean is your house) and a total revamp.

I am concerned to see this negative review posted.

I have to question whether this person actually stayed in the apartment. On checking my records for the past 3 months I have only received positive feedback.

I visited the property myself in December and painted the apartment throughout (which I do at least once a year) and everything was fine.

It is not in my interest to rent out a dirty and unsuitable apartment and if anything should go wrong Janet is on hand to sort things out.

I have lots of satisfied guests - plus the many repeat bookings I receive would indicate people are happy with the standard of the apartments.

Came with husband 4 year old grandson and another couple and their 3 year old son had laughs all day every day the kids loved the pool the men loved the bar and we ladies loved the sunbeds. The rooms were lovely and clean, The staff were friendly. We have a timeshare already and have nearly talked our friends into having one, they cannot believe how friendly everyone is and said its just like coming home to your family. We are now trying to book another week in November.

“Has everything you need for a family holiday”

Club Olympus

15 Jun 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

Just got back from a week at Club Olympus. It had previously mixed reviews so didn't know what to expect. I phoned ahead to request an apartment on the quieter side of the resort (some reviewers had complained about noise from bar/pool area) & our request was met with no problems. OK, so the complex is a little "tired", but the staff were friendly and helpful, the apartments were clean and comfortable, the communal areas again were clean & well kept & it had everything you could want for a family holiday (good pools, bar, restaurant, entertainment, shops/takeaways). It is a short walk to the beach (bit of a drag back uphill in the heat!) and is central to amenities. Trips can be booked direct at reception & it is perfectly placed to enjoy a holiday without the hassle of a hire car. There were mixed reviews again about the restaurants on-site, but we tried the chinese (good & cheap) and also Roy's indian takeaway (a big bonus was that they delivered - excellent when having to stay in for the evening minding the baby!). The food at the poolside bar/cafe was expensive compared to the cafes/bars just a short walk away, but if you wanted to spend your days by the pool with the kids (as many people seemed to do), it provided an excellent service (& still not expensive in UK terms). Dont be put off by the fact we've rated it "average", (purely because the apartments could do with updating - this would be a cracking place with a little refurbishment) as I cannot stress enough that everything was clean, comfortable, well equipped & the complex in terms of what it had to offer was very good.
