Jacks Apartments

Does anyone know of an email address for Jacks??? Please and thank you. :)

Jacks apartments are basic but clean and well maintained throughout our stay.This was our first visit and will not be our last. Jack, Maria and George became friends within days and it was so relaxed and free and easy it was almost like we were staying at our own place. The pool is fantastic, the bar inexpensive and the food extremely good. If what you want is not on the menu then just ask and it gets served up. The meals were largely of better quality and less expensive than some of the seemingly better restaurants locally. How often do you get the owners see you off when leaving, it was like visiting family.

Hi all You at Jacks Apartments! We are really looking forward to stay at your place, enjoying good food and service!!! See You all on Saturday 12/10-13. Best regards ,- Mona Antonsen, Hans Petter Reppe & Ola & Laila I. Walberg <3

Just got back after 2 glorious weeks at Jacks 1 & 2, was a little worried after seeing some bad reviews - who are these people?  The apartments were typically basic greek but really clean, the bedding was changed and the room cleaned regularly, Costas, George, Marie & Jack could'nt have been more helpful and friendly, the food was excellent and the prices were really reasonable, all in all it was a great place to be we will definitely be returning - hopefully next year!

I am looking for some info please,we are booked in at Jacks on 30th july 10 for a week,

How hot does it get?

How bad are the mossies?

Jacks Apartments, Kefalos, Kos

These apartments are a hidden gem within the resort of Kefalos

Set in a very tranquil location the brochure simply doesn’t do Jacks justice.

This is a very friendly, family run complex where there is always somebody around if you need anything / have any queries all you have to do is ask.

They are situated behind the Athinoula/Hotel Eleni and just a five minute walk from the Aussie BBQ, using the shortcuts which Jack will only be too happy to point out.  But just in case come out of Jacks to the road and turn right head along to the White House on the left hand side (approx 150m’s) and turn left down the road until you come to the junction (approx 100m’s) then just cross straight over and go down the side track which leads you out to the side of the Aussie BBQ.

If you have walking difficulties this route is not appropriate.

You’ll need to turn left at the junction and walk down to the Hotel Eleni where you have two choices the first is to use the path down the side of Sebastian’s Bar or secondly walk about 10m’s further along the road and use another path  which goes down the side of the super market.

Either way you’ll need a torch for part of the way in the dark.

Accommodation

The apartments themselves offer all the usual equipment.  They were cleaned to a very high standard throughout our stay and the sheets and towels were changed regularly through out our stay . There was always a good supply of hot water.  The beds were really comfortable. There was a large wardrobe in the passageway which offered more than enough space for the three adults in our party and all of our ‘kit’ etc. All in all they’re fairly small but well laid out and maintained. There is no air conditioning but you can hire fans at a nominal rate. All the apartments have a safe which are available at a very reasonable charge.

Facilities

The Pool is fantastic!!!  It’s a salt water pool which is held at a constant 6%, it does wonders for your tan.  Because there are NO nasty chemicals in it it’s less harmful to the environment as well plus you don’t end up stinking of Chlorine and your swimming costumes won’t rot either. There are steps with a full hand rail at the shallow end for easy access to the pool. There’s an ample supply of sun beds some of which are laid out in a shaded / covered area if a parasol is not sufficient

The pool side bar is not your usual run of the mill either!!!  

It opens at 0800hrs for breakfast etc and closes last man standing.  It offers a full restaurant menu throughout the day with daily specials to tempt you in the evening.

The restaurant area is covered and has patio sliding doors that slide completely across to enclose the room if required during cooler evenings.

If you have particular food requirements – Jack is happy to accommodate and cook whatever you want (within reason / with notice)

The Bar has a wide range of drinks on offer as well a fantastic range of cocktails.

The prices for the food and drinks at Jacks Apartments will not break your bank either which in the Pound v’s Euro war needs to be given consideration.

My husband and I and our 2 best mates went on holiday to Jack's in June and we had an absolutely fabulous time.  We had spent the last 2 previous years organising our weddings and all we wanted to do this year as completely relax and with the help of Jack, Maria, Jorge and Mike's hospitality that is exactly what we were able to do.  We cannot fault Jack's in any way and as soon as we returned we booked to go back next year.  For anyone who is thinking about stayining at Jack's do not listen to the complaining people because I think they really stayed somewhere else.  Sally and Steve, Southampton

Help! Are Jacks apartments anywhere the HOTEL ZEUS in Kefalos, im looking fof accommodation for the 01//09/07 for 14 nights, nothing special just somewhere to lay my head at night.  My parents are staying at the HOTEL ZEUS on these dates but they are fully booked.  Does anyone know how to contact Jacks apartments, e-mail etc. Love Kefalos, love the people so want to get there in Sept!!

Me, my husband and my 10year old daughter has just arrived back from Jacks after a fantastic 2 week holiday.   We stayed in Jacks 1 on the top floor, with fantastic views.

    We have just returned from yet another brilliant holiday  at JACKS   and plan to return again in September.  The treatment we received was excellent as usual and we cannot thank Jack and his family enough.   The apartments are very clean and the food is excellent.   We would recommend  this complex to  anyone.   IRENE, ERNIE , PAT.    

I would just like to start by saying (as has been said before) that Jacks I and Jacks II are owned by two different people. Okay, with that said I can now begin to tell you that the week I spent at Jacks I was wonderful. I went with my mum and my sister at the end of the season 2005 after having had major surgery and it was just what the doctor ordered. The apartment was spotless, as was the outdoor areas of the balcony, pool and bar. Yes, Jack himself was the onlyone in the family run bussiness that spoke English but the rest of his family are no less freindly or helpful because of this. Maria, Jacks wife even lent me a jacket as it was airy in the evening and I hadn't taken anything with me. If that isn't above and beyond the call of duty I don't know what is! The food was just as good and was all freshly prepared by Jack, just the way you like it. You don't like aubergiens but want to try mossaka, no problem, Jack made it with potatoes instead. It wasn't all rosey however, the mosquitoes were a pain and so was the Manos rep, her customer service skills were awfull. Those things didn't spoil what was ultamately a relaxing peacfull holiday that I was very sorry to see come to an end.

 I DONT KNOW WHAT EVERYBODY IS BEING NEGATIVE ABOUT JACKS APARTMENTS FOR AS WE ARE ABOUT TO GO FOR THE THIRD TIME AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. AS FOR THEM NOT SPEAKING ENGLISH, THAT WOULD BE BECAUSE THEYRE GREEK!!! THE ROOMS ARE CLEAN, TIDY AND NOT SMALL, WE HAVE BEEN IN MUCH WORSE, AND THIS IS OUR ELEVENTH YEAR IN KEFALOS, SO WE DO KNOW WHAT WERE TALKING ABOUT. OUR SEVEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER LOVES THE POOL, ITS KEPT VERY CLEAN AND IS VERY SAFE.

 hi to everybody i watch all the websites about greece and i saw about jacks apartments and i want to tell to everybody to not read all this s**t that they writing about jacks place because every year im going trhee or four times and i know. they writing about jacks 2 but they dont know that jacks 2 and jacks 1 is two diferent owners and two diferent thinks. if you want to go to jacks apartments go and see it with your own eyes. jack and all the stuff are the best dont be afraid to ask them anything you want.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Jacks II at the end of September/beginning of October 2006 and we were greeted with no reception and no rep upon arrival. When we got in our apartment it was very basic and small. There was a huge cockroach in the apartment which took us almost an hour to capture, there was no shower holder in the so called wet room. We got a cleaner ONCE the whole week. The bathroom smelt of sewage and an ant problem which made preparing food in the apartment impossible. Location was good though and the pool was immaculate, unfortunately not good enough for a return visit.

Me & my partner spent one week at Jacks II at the start of October. Holiday was fantastic - only let down - the apartments. We were on the ground floor and the night we arrived we discovered 3 cockroaches in the room, the only roaches we seen all holiday!! Our bathroom stunk of raw sewage which we were told was being dealt with. We couldn't have food in the "self-catering" apartment due to the ant infestation. The cleaner appeared once the whole week. On the plus side the pool was lovely and the food served at the apartments was above average and the location was good. Can't say much about the staff as apart from Jack they barely spoke english. We will not be staying there again.

We have just returned from a 2 week stay in Jacks 1 ( 6adults, 2kids) The apartments r very basic but clean. The food was great and jack will cook u anything if u give him 24 hours notice, everything is fresh. Everyone was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The kids loved the pool, it was very clean. There was a xbox near the bar which my son spent many hours, when he needed help George and Mike would drop what ever they were doing 2 help him. It is a perfect place 4  familys with children, its peaceful and safe. We r booking up 2 go back next year .

There is approx 10 apartments in each building.

when  i say adults i mean 50 plus but hey we are up for a good time as we have been for the last 20 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
