Zante Hotels

Good value for money

Advantages: clean rooms, friendly staff
Disadvantages: far from a good beach

I visited the Diana Palace hotel with my boyfriend in July 2006 for 1 week and we really enjoyed our holiday. When we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff who showed us to our room. The room were clean and towels changed and rooms cleaned daily. However the bathroom wasn't that great in my opinion, but I was told it was pretty much the typical standard in Greece. We found the room to be big enough for the both of us but it may be a bit of a ...
...board so our breakfast and dinner at night was included. The food was served buffet style and we could always make a meal out of what was there. The food was mainly Greek style. The restaurant staff were helpful and friendly and made a good job of keeping the restaurant clean. We found the hotel suprisingly quiet. It is located quite close the the bars and restaurants in the area. We had only one problem with noise from other guests, which was sorted ...

Review of Diana Palace, Zante

Tzante Hotel - Cheap, Fantastic pool bar, party resort

Advantages: Cheap, Fantastic pool bar, party resort
Disadvantages: noisy, basic

The hotel itself is your typical 18-30s resort, Noisy, full of chavs and very very basic. In my opinion you get what you pay for, we paided £245 for 2 weeks accomodation, flights and transfers! It's location however is fantastic and the pool bar is a major plus. The rooms we had were abit further away from the pool and facing away from the strip however the noise from both were still fairly audible till atleast 5 in the morning. I would strongly ...
...table within the bar. The hotel has internet access which is charged at 2e for half an hour (i think!) IIf you want to get away from the rowdy crowds i would highly recommend taking a right at the beach and heading to the small island like outcrop accesible by a rope and wood footbridge, you have to pay to get in (2.50e each) but it is well worth it, it is one of the most beautiful and relaxing places i have ever been and its also great for snorkelling. ...

Review of Hotel Tzante

Perfect complex for families and couples

Advantages: Close to shops and fairly flat, ideal for walking.
Disadvantages: Not many restaurants around, too far to walk to Tsilivi

Myself and my family spent a week in October 2006 during the half term break at Maistrali. The Maistrali Apartments are situated in the resort of Tragaki in Zakynthos (Zante). They are self-catering apartments. SURROUNDING AREA - TRAGAKI We arrived at around 8:00pm and after checking in at reception, we were showed to our apartment. As it was still fairly early, we decided to go for a walk around the resort, and try and suss the place out a bit. ...
...very handy supermarket, selling all the necessities that you need, such as water, fresh bread and fruit and veg which is handy when it is extremely hot and the idea of carrying a 2 litre bottle of water in the boiling sun isn't very appealing... When you stand outside the gates and look left and right down the road, there isn't a lot you can see as there is no surrounding restaurants. You have to turn left and the gates, walk for about 4 mintues, ...

Review of Maistrali, Zante

Worst Accomodation I Have Ever Stayed In!

Advantages: Good Location, Good Snack Bar
Disadvantages: Smelt, Full of Mosquitoes, Horrible Decor

We arrived very early in the morning and upon arrival the studios were nothing impressive. Our room smelt of dogs (i think it was the bleach they use out there) so the first thing we bought was air freshner! Also our room was full off mosquitos so if you get bitten alot i wouldnt recomend these studies. For the whole of the holiday we couldnt even use our balcony as we had a tree right outside and there were hundreds of them flying about. Also even ...
...Air Conditioning we had to pay 7 Euros per night for it and you weren't allowed fans so you basically had to pay for it as it was too hot to sleep at night and becuase of the mosquitoes we couldnt open the patio door! The amenities in the room was not brilliant, very basic, but most greek studioes are. Not much to cook with wither, only a tiny saucepan or a massive one and 2 small hobs. There was no Kettle or Toaster or Microwave so if you plan ...

Review of Razis Erieta Apartments, Greece

Nice resort, awful apartments

Advantages: Well, it's zante. So thats good...
Disadvantages: It's like having a holiday on a farm...

...wrong I was... The rainbow apartments are situated on the left of the t-junction at the top of Kalamaki resort, on the road to Zante town. There are about 20 distinct apartments, sixteen in their own block, and a further four above the Rainbow restaurant. The apartments also have a bar, a pool, a volleyball "area", a table tennis table, and a pool table. Everything in the public area is of acceptable quality, although nothing acceptable. The bar ...
...selection of cocktails, Alco pops and soft drinks. These are of a reasonable price, a 500ml beer costs Euros. The pool table is expensive at 1.50 Euros, whilst the table tennis etc is free. However, my biggest gripe with these apartments was with the accommodation itself. I'll list this for easy reading: - The apartments are set in what appears to be a quasi farm. In practice this means that you have a number of cockerels crowing constantly from ...
