“We fell back in love with Greece”

We booked back in April because the family run nature of the hotel and reviews appealed. We got worried a few weeks before coming due to the change in ownership but there was nothing to worry about.

We booked back in April because the family run nature of the hotel and reviews appealed. We got worried a few weeks before coming due to the change in ownership but there was nothing to worry about. The staff were fantastic. The hotel was lovely. Never any issue getting sunbeds at any time of the day. The poolside bar did some lovely food when we didn’t feel like walking to one of the nearby restaurants. (But if you do, we highly recommend Amboula). The two small beaches were perfect for us - we go to swim and snorkel in the sea and not sit. We booked a hire car through reception for our second week and it’s a brilliant staging location to explore the island. I haven’t been back to Greece since I was a teenager and this holiday made me realise it’s my favourite destination in the world.

Located in Tragaki a quieter area with a few lovely restaurants and supermarkets. The apartment was a good size with a balcony, fridge, kettle and hairdryer etc The apartment was cleaned and towels changed every day the 2 ladies were so lovely. The girls at reception are lovely and friendly and helpful. The air con unit stopped working one day and they came and sorted it immediately. Air con is €10 a day and the safe is €15 per week. The swimming pool area is good with plenty of beds. We ate lunch here and the portion size was good. We booked a rental car through the hotel and the price was actually a bit cheaper than other car rentals around. Most evening we ate at the restaurants near the small beach Amboula and Ladofanaro both were very good

“Lovely pool and garden”

Like previous reviewers, we had chosen Dream Studios based on last year’s glowing reports, so were disappointed to find that the previous owners were no longer there. It must have been a great place before. It is still a lovely small complex with a nice pool and beautifully tended gardens, and spotlessly clean. The new owners, Maestrali do not have the same standards of customer service. Reception staff vary in charm and helpfulness. When we first arrived at night there was very loud live music by the pool until gone 11pm which was not what we’d signed up for. However after the second night the music entertainment stopped. The pool is next to quite a busy road but actually we didn’t find this a problem. The supermarket is just opposite and well stocked. As others have mentioned there is a charge for air con and kitchen crockery/utensils are minimal and not matching, plus there is no washing up liquid etc. However we asked for two wine glasses which were supplied from the bar. Although it is still possible to have a very nice cooked breakfast in the Dream bar with table service, we were initially directed to the next door Maestrali buffet service, which had a less calm atmosphere. The food was plentiful and varied but poor quality (mostly tinned fruit, orange squash instead of fresh juice etc). There was never enough cutlery, although staff were trying to do their best. Our room was cleaned every day and fresh towels supplied by very cheerful cleaners. If we were going to Tragaki again, we would probably still choose Dream Studios for the pool and gardens but cater for ourselves.

“Dream Studio’s is a beautiful quiet accomodation”

Dream Studios has been taken over by the neighboring Hotel Maistrali. I booked it for the charming accommodations and gardens, and because it was small and family-run. TUI never informed us of the takeover. We found out the day before our departure. The reviews have deteriorated considerably in recent months, so we were worried. Upon arrival, we received a warm welcome from receptionist Johanna. The entire location is still beautiful, with a lovely pool, clean towels every day, and beds made by the lovely housekeepers. Bartender Janis and barmaid Poly were always up for a friendly chat. Lots of families visit, so my son quickly made friends. The food isn't exceptional, but it's not terrible either. We always eat out, so this wasn't a problem for us. A few minor drawbacks that do require attention: The kitchen utensils are very limited, not enough for three people. I don't think charging €10 a day for air conditioning is customer-friendly. You can't live without it, and you're already paying enough for the accommodations. In my opinion, this is making money at the expense of your guests. Zakynthos is a beautiful green island, beautiful sea! I would recommend Dream studio’s for surely!
