May 2012 - staying at ZANTE ROYAL RST
Zante Royal Resort [ formally Royal Palace Hotel , Vasilikos Zakynthos]We arrived for a week at this establishment, my initial report is to ease the fears of some visitors due to attend this year,
Formally under the management of the Louis group,this complex closed in 2008, it reopened last year under the management of the Miro group with the problems associated with bringing an empty building back to life,
so. we arrived Sunday late PM, reception is bright clean and well staffed with pleasant experienced staff , after the usual booking in procedure we were taken to our rooms, both have been re-decorated and are clean and inviting, we then went for a walk around the complex there is a very nice children’s club,several very clean pools with plenty of sun beds and a bar, a taverna style restaurant where we had dinner and breakfast, food was good international [no British favourite’s burger nuggets fish fingers etc] breakfast was the usual choice of Greek,continental or English [with a Greek twist] the grounds are quite extensive and are in fair condition,
This hotel operated with a 4 star rating, and to be fair to the new management where the previous owners never updated it and the ravages of being left empty, Most of the problems come with past lack of maintenance, cracked tiles, bath plugs missing, out dated fixtures and fittings in the rooms and the like.. BUT these things are not important, clean accommodation friendly staff some cracking views and good food, make up for its short comings, other issues to be addressed are the lift and Venicular to the beach are not working at present
the hotel is quite a long way from shops and outside entertainment so if you want to get around hire a car [NOT two wheels the roads are terrible]
In conclusion for what we paid for an all inclusive family holiday this hotel has all we need
and is good value for money
October 2011 - staying at DIANA PALACE HOTEL
Lovely hotel, staff very friendly and helpful, including the entertainment staff. Food always fresh and good variety. It was the end of the season so many shops and bars were closing down for the winter and many of the trips had stopped.October 2011 - staying at PLAZA APARTHOTEL
The plaza aparthotel met my expectations, it is basic but it is in a great location. A 5 minute walk away from the main street of clubs & restaurants. Approx 10 minute walk to the beach. I went all inclusive which was a good choice...nice food which consist of rice,spaghetti,roast potatoes,mash,chicken & more! The staff are very friendly which makes u feel welcome. If you are young & looking for a lively holiday this is the hotel for you for one reason great location! Your even near mcdonalds, kfc,subway & pizza hut. As i went in october it was out of season so unfortunately it was quiet. If you want some life june, july, or august you should head to laganas. If you go there in october dont be surprised to find most of the clubs closed. Overall hotel clean good food, great location. And the staff are great!September 2011 - staying at MEANDROS BOUTIQUE HOTEL
Excellent service from Fleetway who sent us to a lovely little Greek hotel on the charming island of Skiathos.Try to get an upstairs room, but no need for a suite as the standard rooms are fine. Breakfast nice, dinner a tad boring. Choice of music in the pool bar dead iffy, but this only serves to drive you out to some very nice local tavernas, the best of which was Tabiya, about 30 yards right of the front gate.
Hire a quad bike across the road for 20 euros a day and chug off to explore the island. Our best day out was to the gorgeous Keri Beach, which still maintains a veneer of Greekness.
Kalamaki is absolutely nothing to write home about, but you can watch footy every night and get squiffy for a few quid.
As usual the Greek people were what makes any of the islands a great place to visit. They are having a very hard time at present but always make great hosts. We will continue to make the islands our first choice destination.
