Nikos Apartments - (Accommodation in Sami)

John M           

Just a few lines on our holiday to Sami and the Nikos apartments. As a couple, we thought the resort and apartments were excellant. I would not recommend the apartment for families as there is little for children to do (I heard two families moaning about this - next time read your brochure!).
One of the best bits of our break was the other people stopping in the apartments as they all were friendly and interesting people. A warning though. We stopped in a ground story apartment (11) and found it a little dark and gloomy. We were also awakened each morning by the owners young kids at about 6 am! We've booked a two bedroom apartment to ensure this does not happen again....

All in all, I would recommend Sami and the apartments for folks wanting a quiet break!

PS. The dog is fine. Loads of water and attention and well looked after. The complainer obviously needs to get a life and appreciate/accept other cultures..

Nikos Apartments - (Accommodation in Sami)

Just read your update David, and whilst I appreciate you feel strongly about animals, I have too travelled extensively and actually lived abroad for 10 years. My parents ran a sanctury for abandoned dogs for over 8 years and cared for many, many mis-treated and abused dogs.

I am fully aware of what the do to cats on the Greek islands and am also aware that the do it in Turkey, Portugal and most other southern European Countries.
 
I object strongly to any animal cruelty and hate Bull Fighting, chickens and poultry  tied together by their legs, ill fed so called pets and many other awful things that occur in Europe alone. However, the poor dog at this resort at least had water, shelter and (per my conversations with an English couple who had stopped at the Nikos for 7 years in a row) found out that the dog was walked and regularly fed.
 
Whilst I would never treat my own pets like this, the point I am trying to make is, if you feel this strongly about the way the dog was, how do you cope travelling through Northern Spain and the way market animals are treated or through Turkey where I've seen animals beaten and  in real distress?
 
I also referr you to Paul Moss's comments too.
 
I admire your concern and do apologise for the flippant comment.
 
Ps. Will not be entering into any further dialogue as its a holiday review site and don't want it full of our difference of opinion.
