Advantages: Good standard/near the beach
Disadvantages: pool beds reserved at early times

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for the first time this year.We visited for 2 weeks in June. This was our 7th visit to the resort so we knew about this hotel having seen it being built. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis but other deals are available. First impressions always count and on arrival at the hotel [3 hrs late] we were greeted by a cheerful member of staff even though it was 10 at night. The room itself was on the bottom floor ...
...the sea if we stood up.[sea view paid for] The restaurant was only 2 minutes walk from our room and a lift was available if so required. First impression of the restaurant was ok and all through our stay we had no reason to complain. Our friends and others however had a run in with a grumpy chef at the evening meals on more than one occasion. The breakfast was both english and continental style and was well prepared. My pet gripe at breakfast was ... Read review

Advantages: perfect location
Disadvantages: staff not always available.

...18-30 holiday at the Tzante hotel for about a month, i may still be a little bias. For my whole holiday, we booked with thomas cook, and 9 girls each paid £375 in total for a week here on room only basis. With this we werent sure exactly what to expect, although some of our friends went away before us and did a quick check of our hotel and said it look lie it was the nicest about!! When we arrived, we had to pay an initial deposit of 35 euros yet ...
...All in all, this was the perfect hotel fior our holiday. It had all the basic ammenaties, the perfect location and a continually buzzing atmosphere which helped make your day, however hungover you were!! pluss, the 18-30 tzante reps were amazing!! we clearly had the best 2 of the bunch!!! ...

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, ... Read review

Advantages: amazing staff, great location, lively resort, clean, on the beach, lovely views
Disadvantages: none

I visited the Zakantha Beach Hotel for the first two weeks of July 2006. At the end of a long first year of uni, I couldn't wait to get away, relax, and make a change from staring at books and a computer screen - and this holiday was everything I could have hoped for! ARRIVAL I am quite a paranoid person sometimes when it comes to holidays - I dread there being a problem. So when I had to pay for excess luggage (tip - watch out for that one and ...
...Tunisia, but the staff at Zakantha Beach were also "the best staff I have ever encountered on a holiday"! They were so friendly - you really did arrive a stranger and leave as a friend. Spiradoula the receptionist was bubbly, friendly and helpful; Niki the receptionist was quieter but very efficient; the maintenance man was polite and quick to fix any problems (such as our overheating fridge); Luciano the breakfast man / snack bar man was lovely ...

Advantages: Makes Blackpool Look Good.
Disadvantages: Makes Blackpool Look Good.

...some seven days in the Tsilivi Beach Hotel and although clean, this was a thoroughly unpleasant experience. I read another review where a lady describes having her wedding ring stolen from her room; she also describes the hotel staff laughing at her when she reported it. This really doesn't surprise me, when I complained about a (processed) cheese sandwich being garnished with a pubic hair and a two year old child playing by the swimming pool, unsupervised ...
...an extortionate price from the Tsilivi beach Hotel's own supermarket (they insist you use this so called facility on a leaflet almost warning that using other supermarkets is against hotel rules). Not that there's anything wrong with coming from Blackpool you understand, indeed, if it wasn't for the absence of a tawdry piece of scaffold shaped like the Eiffel tower and the good weather one could be mistaken for thinking one was in Blackpool. I would ... Read review
