8/10 Meget godt

For perspective this was our fourth trip here stretching back 15 years.
Our two bed apartment in Apollo Heights was fantastic. Large, spacious with a good balcony and view.
The tennis academy which we came for was excellent. Special thanks to Instructor Steve who I worked with on the trip - he was excellent. 5*.
Standard of restaurants, grounds, food and sports facilities was up to the usual high standards. Although not all the restaurants were open at Easter.
There are some highly questionable practices going on to extract money from holiday makers.
The first is the supermarket. It is possibly the most expensive supermarket I have ever been in. €7 for a frozen pizza, €3 for a Coke, €5 for pack of processed ham, €5.50 for a pack of Haribo sweets. These items are sold for £1 - £1.50 in the U.K.
We went and asked about getting a few groceries at reception. This conversation turned to trying to get me to hire a car which we didn’t want to do.
After some research we decided to go to Kouklia which is the closest town to Aphrodite Hills and has a mini supermarket. It’s about a six minute cab ride from the Resort Village. I ordered a cab through residence reception. They charged me €50 for probably a total return journey time of 15 minutes. This was only disclosed at the end when I had to pay, there was no meter in the cab. This was not a luxury limo transfer - it was a 15 year old C Class Mercedes.
