We have just returned from 10 days at Domes Zante and we had a fantastic stay. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised by receiving a sea view in our room despite expecting a garden view. The room was clean and the mini fridge being restocked daily was a nice touch. The pool area was pleasant and lots of sunbeds to go around so there is no need to wake up early and reserve a bed. Towards the end of our stay it did get quite noisy around the pool but that is no fault of the hotel. The à la carte restaurants - Italian, meze and Yellow Sea were faultless. The portion sizes were large and the food and service was great. We enjoyed dining at all twice during our stay. Surfer Maya, the other à la carte, was pleasant, but as other reviews say would be better as a lunch restaurant as we were in an out within 30 minutes due to the nature of the restaurant and the food was less exciting. All of the drinks were consistently good and the service at the main bar, particularly from Maria was amazing. Elena on reception kindly recommended us a few restaurants in Zante town, one of which we tried and was delicious. Elena was also fabulous upon arrival, showing us around the property and to our room. Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay and would certainly return in future.

Thank you to every member of staff, from the cleaners and bar staff to the reception who were so friendly and nothing was ever too much trouble, A very special mention goes to our old favourite, Lenny, who is a credit to the hotel. Our room was beautiful, with amazing views. The location is perfect, with just a short stroll to the stunning shallow, crystal-clear sea and nearby bars. The food was outstanding from start to finish, with an excellent variety and superb quality, and the restaurant staff worked tirelessly to provide excellent service with a smile. What made our stay even more special was the way the team celebrated my daughter's 21st birthday., treating her with prosecco and a beautiful birthday cake, making her feel incredibly special and giving us more wonderful memories. This is our 10th visit as Dones Aulis excels in every area—service, cleanliness, food, location, and atmosphere. The staff take enormous pride in what they do, and we feel relaxed, valued, and spoilt. We are already planning to return in September. Thank you for exceeding our expectations once more and for providing one of the best holiday experiences we have ever had. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a truly exceptional stay.

My friends and I booked The Grand Sapphire Nest interconnecting rooms last year which included a VIP lounge and terrace in the main entertainment area. This is however now being used as a kids lounge which unfortunately has open wooden slats into the main area which let's the sound in when noisy kids are using it and the small adults only terrace was always full. We were given a 20 minute back massage in lieu of this, the other small items would have been included anyway as it was all inclusive. The rooms are quite small with minimal storage. No room for cases under bed. 3/4 of the bedside cabinet had been blocked up so had to put things on the floor. Wardrobes cramped with no full height hanging for long dresses etc. We had to use the ladders from the terrace, which are provided for drying swimwear etc, to balance hangers from, hence the swimwear had to he hung on the chairs to dry. The shower room is in need of urgent upgrading. The basin was quite disgusting, although probably nice when new, as it resembled clay/stone which had been painted grey and which now is scratched off in places, also brown "silicone" around the plug hole. A rough grouting job has been done in the shower between the base and wall. The entertainment was hit and miss, starting at 8 and finishing at 10, followed by "spa" music. A sure way to clear the place. 9 till 11 would not be unreasonable. The food was buffet style which was barely warm and with flies landing on the uncovered food. The choice was repetitive and quite limited especially for vegetarians (the lasagne, potatoes and soup was nice) It isn't ideal making up a meal of potatoes and veg and then having to use the sauce from a meat dish. There was a rotisserie of chickens and pork. The lunch in the pool restaurant served undercooked and hard chips and dried up sandwiches, again uncovered, although the "Grab and Go" fridge offered packaged sandwiches, salads etc. Too many inflatables provided by the hotel in the main pool, better to keep these in the kids pool. On the positive side, the hotel is in a fabulous quiet location, directly onto the shallow beach between Laganas and Kalimaki in a turtle conservation area. It has well planted grounds in progress, I believe, due to having had recent bad weather. Lots of sunbeds and sunshades. Good quality all inclusive drinks until midnight. Great sea view from our rooms, 243 and 244 which were on the first floor above the bar. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Clean comfy beds. In our opinion not 5* and this was made know to customer services whilst we were there which just resulted in a shrug of the shoulders.
