So maybe the person from that first review did just have bad luck / bad timing?

I don't mind kids running around at breakfast or playing in the kids pool, I will simply put on my snorkling gear ath the beach so I don't mind noise above the water there,
I just want to make sure that I
a.) am not being disturbed by crying and screaming in my room while I want to sleep in in the mornings with my windows closed
b.) have a mostly quite time at my private balcony (if there's screaming for 1 or 2 hours - fine, I'll close the windows and leave, but I just want to have some quite hours a day)

Thanks for any answers/reports about that!
It is all about timing. Late October the kids should be in school so the resort ( is it even open? many close down at the end of October) should be pretty much kid empty...unless you hit it on a holiday weekend or such. If it really bothers you do a google search of holidays at around the time you are thinking.... remembering that it won't just be Greeks but Brits, Germans and Russians.
