St. John Villas Zakynthos

“Friendly staff, needs some updating.”

We stayed in a 3 bed villa. The complex has several villas and a small restaurant. The rooms are generous size. The pool was clean. The balcony has a lovely view. The air conditioning worked fine. It's a quiet spot up a steep hill. Great to have a car. The two of Tsilivi has loads of restaurants and shops, we found some lovely places. The villa was a bit tired and dark. Bits of grout needing fixing, the bath bottom was cracked, small easy fixes that made it seem less fancy. The interior was very grey/beige with dark wood. The oven and hob were very old electric models and difficult to control. All the symbols were worn off! I didn't enjoy the kitchen and living room being combined as the kitchen is very dated. The sofas were the most uncomfortable - very shallow seat. The staff were very helpful. There's not a lot in the kitchen, when I asked they brought me a pan and a knife. The gym has EVERY machine you could ever want, but no space because of it. It was very hot and it's downstairs so there are no windows. The restaurant is lovely - although a LOT of bugs in October, didn't see any traps. The staff were super helpful. The food was great and they were very adaptable, made a pasta dish without bacon so it was vegetarian or cooked anything you would like for breakfast. The playground needs to be replaced. The equipment seesaw and play house were splintering. There's a swing and a roundabout. The cleaners didn't do a lot - straightened the beds and swept a little, but never mopped or cleaned the bathrooms, we used the one shower that wasn't over the cracked bath and it never got cleaned in 10 days. Plenty of clean towels though. The hot water ran out after a bath and two showers but was replenished in about half an hour, I guess it's a small tank. We enjoyed our stay.

“Nice location, bad service”

This property offers both villas and suites. The location is nice and you may enjoy a superb view. However, from the resort upper suites any view is rather limited, in fact you see the roof of lower suites.

This property offers both villas and suites. The location is nice and you may enjoy a superb view. However, from the resort upper suites any view is rather limited, in fact you see the roof of lower suites. Suites are new, but not very large with private pools (in September the suite pool water was quite cold). Unlike the suites (which are close to the 5 star service), the resort most luxurous villas are rather close to the 3 star service. This is mainly because of outdated and shabby furniture, noisy A/C, uncomfortable mattresses and only a very basic cleaning service (change of towels, garbage disposal). However, if you prefer more space and privacy, then one of the resort (2 or 3 bedroom) villas is the best option. Unfortunately the resort management does not guarantee that the (particular) villa you booked will actually be available once you arrive. Then you are expected to "cooperarte in finding an alternative solution", which basicallly means that you will accept to stay at one of the resort one bedroom suites (instead of the 2/3 bedroom villa). If you do not like it, you may be offered to get your money back (paid well in advance to secure the villa you booked), so instead of enjoying your vacation from the first moment you start your vacation by frustration that you should start looking for a new hotel/resort to stay during your vacation. However, if you are a family with kids, you are bettter positioned to get the villa you booked. Booking a car via the resort management is not a good option; once a different car category was delivered, the second time no car was delivered at all.

“Good Villa, Freezing Cold Pool”

I would go back to St Johns Villas if only they had heated swimming pools. I don't like freezing my nuts off every time I get in. Can't fault the accommodation though and good location near to town.
