Our holidays include over 25 activities

I loved the location. The tennis tuition was really useful and we met lots of other players to arrange our own games. I could not get onto the beginner sailing for the 2nd year which was disappointing perhaps because we arrived on the Sunday. I particularly enjoyed the kayak safari and just the beach activities in general. The bikes were great and I tried an electric bike for the first time. We came as a group of 10 and we had a great week.

Cosmos Beachclub is a well run business.
There are other activities which you can do if you need a break from windsurfing or don’t want to windsurf or just lie on the sun.
We are in our early 80’s and took awhile to find our ‘windsurfing’ feet again.
We did not join a class but I think the teaching was very good.

This was our third visit to Messini, and it did not disappoint. The first two visits were with one child, but having had another baby this year we opted for a hotel suite and it was lovely to have the extra space.
The kids club is amazing - they get to try a bit of everything and our eldest loved it (our littlest was only 2 months old so stayed with us).
The range of activities is great and there's plenty of enthusiasm from the instructors. The only criticism I have on this is the sign up process at the end of the briefing with the massive queues. I wonder if there's a better way of managing this?
The food is a massive selling point - really fresh and a good variety throughout the week. However, clearly the stops were all pulled out for Saturday night as most people's last evening - it would be nice if some of the best dishes were spread throughout the week a bit more!
The staff here are all excellent - so friendly and helpful and one of the reasons we keep returning.
The only thing I would say isn't up to scratch is the pool bar - there's a very limited selection of cocktails which is a bit disappointing and the cocktails they do have are generally over-iced and lacking in flavour. It's not great getting to the end of a Mojito and finding all the sugar in the bottom as it's not been mixed properly! It's also very expensive, which I feel is taking advantage of the fact there are no real alternatives closeby. Our bar bill by the end of the week was a bit of a shock!
Overall a great holiday and we'll definitely return, but with a few tweaks as mentioned above, it could be even better.
