“The place you go back to”

You know when you go to a new place and almost instantly you're saying "I wanna come back here!"

You know when you go to a new place and almost instantly you're saying "I wanna come back here!" This was us, been there in July this year and on the second day of our holiday our minds already decided we'll come back. I'm writing this review after 2 days after I have rebooked for 2026. 2 adults and 2 kids, we had an amazing apartment close to everything you need. Nice and clean, good food, good vives, and everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Booked months in advance, so we also got a very good value for money. Weather being awesome 7/7 days, what else could you wish for? Can't wait to go back next July!

“Great hotel doctor”

I want to say a big thank you to the hotel doctor Konstantinos! He cared for me after a bike accident and thanks to him all my wounds are perfectly healed. He is really an expert and also very empathetic and kind. It really was a blessing from heaven to me!

“Some things disappointed us.”

Some things were an unpleasant surprise. We haved vacationing with our family, three people. We bought the main building with a sea view. We got the old room 700 meters from the reception and the main restaurant. Old furniture, very old furniture. Definitely not furniture you would expect in a 5-star hotel. Technically, the room was very old. The cleanliness of the bathroom deserves a rating of 2.5 out of 5. We were also unpleasantly surprised by the reception staff's communication regarding the room. They picked up the phone, listened to us, then we go to the reception and they listened to us again, promised to talk to the manager and will return to us about changing the room, but never did that :) They simply ignored us. We contacted our travel agent, who the hotel also promised to contact with us. But again, silence 😃 And when I was at the reception the next day and greeted the employee I had spoken to about the room, she pretended not to see me and didn't even say hello 😃 Everything is understandable, but what upset me the most was being ignored like that. So, on the second day, we understood that no one would communicate with us or offer us anything. Probably, I think the hotel wanted, that us to get tired and just not come back or call anymore. That's what we did, and we continued our vacation. Just keep in mind that if something goes wrong, the hotel won't solve the problem. Pluses: The staff are very nice, very attentive, and always smiling. Service is fast, they are always attentive and always available. The grounds are very well maintained and green. Golf carts drive around the grounds, and you can call them to go to the reception or the restaurant, for example. The wait is about 10 minutes. There are many bars throughout the grounds. The cocktails are delicious, and they have an extensive cocktail menu. The only entertainment is live music. Twice a week, you can go to à la carte restaurants. We went to a Greek tavern and an Italian restaurant. Strangely enough, we liked the Italian restaurant more 😊 It is in a very good location with a view of Zakynthos Island and the sunset. The food was also a pleasant surprise. Another big plus is the sea and the very large sandy beach. The territory is very big, and you can't even tell at first that's a plus or a minus 😊 Personally, we got a room VERY far from the restaurant where breakfast/lunch/dinner is served. And while it was just a walk during breakfast and dinner, BUT it was a challenge during the heat of the day 😊 The food on offer is not very varied. I gave the grounds a 4 because there is absolutely nowhere to go outside the grounds. There is one souvenir shop and a couple of taverns. Beyond that, there are fields, fields, fields :) and you need to know and understand that :)
