Katerina Palace Hotel

Hi.

Lisa

I have been to this hotel twice in the past and it was great. I went 7 and 3 years ago and would happily go back again. The hotel is in a great location in the centre of the resort. 2 minutes walk from the shops and 5 minutes walk from the beach. The rooms are of a good standard and size and are very clean. The pool area is very nice and there are 2 good sized swimming pools with plenty of sunbeds available and nice gardens surrounding the area. The snack bar is also very good and the breakfast which they do is also great. Katrina the owner of the hotel also spends a lot of time there and is very friendly and introduces herself and makes time to talk to you. She also makes sure that the hotel is kept very clean. I would recommend this hotel to anyone!

well another great two weeks at the katerina hotel,it was my birthday and balloons and a sign were put on our door.the welcome was great as usual and staff were so kind.katerina even arranged for a fantastic cake for later that day.a big thank you and see you all again in may

 please could you supply an email address for this hotel!

i love it that much at katerinas i have just booked for two weeks in september and two weeks next may,blimy ive got some overtime to do as ive only just got back.    

stayed fro our first time last year at the katerina hotel and thought it was so so good that we booked again for may and we were not dissapointed we stayed in the appartments and had a a great time,the staff cannot do enough for you from the moment you arrive untill your departure,we are now looking to return in september with a group of friends.hmmm i knew i should have got the e mail address.roll on september and another great stay at the katerina palace.

If you have booked b&b then you will be in the hotel, which have lovely views of the pool. We stayed here twice, once sc and once b&b. I hope their breakfasts have imporved because boiled eggs are on the menu everyday, ok if they wern't rock solid and turning that awful colour around the yolk, twice a week they wil put on scrambled eggs and tinned sausages. Seemes to me they cater more for the Grmans, they complained  and were basically given what ever they wanted, we complianed to the rep and got sod all! Cant deny that Argassi is a fantastic place, we have been visiting twice a year for the past 4 years. To hire a fridge if my memory serves me right i think it was about 5 euro's a daty, oh and by the way you dont get a kettle either, we had to buy ours. I'm not trying to put anyone off honestly you will have a fab time, I would definitely stay here again, but I would go with self catering at least then you can go and find somewhere to have breakfast, trust me there are loads of lovely places to try. The staff are all lovely and they really cant do enough for you. The hotel/apartments really are in the best location!

I hope you all have a great time.

B & B will be in the hotel, the studios are self catering, the breakfast is ok - continental but plenty of it - you will have a lovely time.  Katerina and her staff will do everything they can to make your stay a pleasant one.

Another great holdiay at Katerina Palace.

Can't wait for next year!!

What a fantastic hotel. Would definitely recomend it and we are already planning another visit next year!

This was our 3rd time at the Katerine Palace and again was excellent. We stayed in the newer part of the hotel, the one on the right beside the smaller pool, the rooms are a great size, we had a TV and paid locally for the air conditioning.  It was definetely worth it as the room was like a fridge in a couple of minutes.

yes the hotel is seperat from studios. in studio there is a bathroom with sink tiolet and shower, small kitchenette with hobs, sink, fridge, and some pans and cutlery, then twin beds and a cupbourd. also have a mirror and desk with drawers.  you can buy food from the pool bar and drinks are relatively reasonable. as for enertainment, they put on a bbq nite on weds nights and sometimes have bingo. but there are some brilliant places to eat just outside the hotel grounds. thee is rossi's place which is an aussi bar, nwly opened last year and is amazing, they welcome you very well. i wouldnt advise eating at the beer academy or the snack academy. i ate there and caught salmonella last year,  i was very ill for 8 days out of 14. any way, the factory is a nightclub opposite rossi's place, and goes on till early in the morning. there are bars all the way down the main street and more at the bottom of the street both left and right. hope this is ok for you..... i dont have any pictures but the ones on thomson a really good and show it exactly..

Hiya everyone!

Im staying at the Katerina Palace Hotel from June 25th 2007 to July 9th 2007, Can anyone tell me if the appartments are seperate from the hotel, what kinda things are there in the self catering rooms, what are the prices like for food and drink at at the hotel and what kind of entertainment does Katerina put on for the guests???????????????????????

Ive been to Argassi before and totaly love the place!  But never stayed at the Katerina pallace, im so looking forward to it I cant wait!!!!!!! The hotel looks lovely, has anyone got any pictures????

see you in June.

We stayed here 6th-13th October in the studios & apart from the loud woman next door  found it to be very good (in fact we may book for next June) The studio was very clean with the usual Greek facilities!!  It even had a showerscreen!!! The aircon (35 euros) was very useful as we could close the doors at night (it was warm ) & keep some of the neighbours noise out early morning!!!!! The hotel was quiet this late in the season & the pool bar closed early. Would definitely advise booking late checkout room (30 euros) if you have a late return flight as although they have a "courtesy room" you only have it for 30mins & you have to pre book it, we heard a few people complaining that it wasn't long enough etc so why spoil the end of your holiday for £20. Overall we were very pleased with our experience at Katerina Palace & would definitely recommend it

We got back from a week in Argassi staying at this hotel on Sat. We stayed in the studios and they were basic, but really clean so we were happy! You seemed to get a bit more attention from staff if you were a guest of the actual hotel though...

Hotel was in a good spot and the receptionist was lovely , one of gthe most friendly i had even come across.

Spot on that the Thomson's staff in Zante were undertrained and rude, including the not so lovely Louise. The only thing she is interested in is your money.  Serious blame culture mentality going on within the organisation.

Apparently if you book your trips independently they will break in to your apartement when you are on the trip, surely there's a better way to sell your excursions that that! Never travelled with Thomson's before and won't again.

The studio accomodation was excellent and spotless.  The owners and bar staff were really helpful.

I didn't think the resort of Argassi was anything special, just a mass of bars, restaurants and tourist shops, no history or focal point in the immediate area.  Very compact, nothing to look - I suppose it would be great for anyone with mobility problems but not if you like a leisurely walk at night. 

All in all, had a great holiday but won't be rushing back to the resort, or Thomsons!  Never had the attidute I got from the Rep from MyTravel so will be returning my custom to them! 

Just come back yesteday, we have had the best holiday! We stayed there 2 weeks, Louise the rep is quality and I would recommend u go to the Saturday Night Live - the reps put on, the food was dry chiken kebab and the free wine wasnt up to much but we had the best night, such a laugh.

m d the taverna is called Anyeta (not sure of the spelling), as for Katerina, we can't fault the place, great location, spotless rooms & very friendly staff, Mirela on the snack bar is a great girl.  We stayed in the new hotel block, would surely book here again if we can book direct, would not travel again with Thompson, badly trained & rude staff!! Great meeting you Liz & Ryan, Stuart your a scream!!

we loved it a vgreat place to stay the staff are friendly and helpful,the swimming pool is wicked and the snack bar is lovely would def recommend staying here

Thank you and your staff for a wonderfull week at the Katirina Hotel

It was superb for the money. Cleaned every day. Katerina herself is on hand to check everything is spot-on. Staff were so so helpful, it was unbelievable. You are 'in the heart of it' yet it's quiet, so surreal. good pool bar food and drink, stunning complex. Would definately go back. I would highly recommend 'The Jam' for breakfast as if you opt for B& B, be prepared for toast and boiled eggs. The Jam will welcome you with English produce and a wonderful English Setter (Inka)! home from home! We hired a buggy - not for the faint hearted - but we're 35+ and it was the best! the island is so stunning, quite honestly breathtaking.....oh god, I feel a booking of another break around the corner. Enjoy it, you'll know what we mean when you're back at work and you cast your mind back to this wonderful holiday. Trust me...

We have just got back after a fantastic time in Zante, made even better by the Katarina. The place is spotless and the staff are very friendly, if i had one criticism it would be the beds, they are like cot beds and very squeaky. We try not to go to the same place twice but would certainly go back to the Katarina. Thankyou for a wonderful holiday.

We stayed at the Katerina Palace for the second time in May 2006. The hotel is in a great location, always very clean and tidy. The studios are very basic, but had everything we needed. The showers aren't great, but that was our only criticism. The pool is fantastic - 3 meters deep, great for swimming or diving!

Squeaky beds are still the norm here which was a great talking point with the neighbours.   Some super meals were had locally esp. at the Castaways which was the only place we went back to  twice during our stay.  Wouldn.t go again so late in the season as things were closing down despite the weather still being good.   Not much at night  unless you wanted to eat or just drink, but probably different at another time. 

Can anyone tell me are the Katerina Palace Studios o.k. for a family of 2 adults and 2 children (aged 2 and 5) is the area o.k. for kids also i.e. beach, anything special at the palace for children?

The hotel was fantastic, breakfast wasn't all that though - shame.  The staff were so friedly & everything was so clean

We stayed at the Katerina Palace in September for two weeks and couldn't fault anything about it. We stayed in the studios and I have been going to Greece for three years now and I have never seen such a clean room in Greece ever.

The service from the staff was excellent and the food was great  at the poolside bar. The pool area was clean and the water although very cold was perfect.

I give Katerina Palace a big thumbs up

Add your c

its not that close to the main road, argassi does get busy, but you cant ask for a better place.

Me and my partner are flying out on the 9th of September and staying at the katerina Palace. We are staying in the studios, can anyone tell me are they noisy? as we heard that it is close to the main road.

me and my partner holiday in argassi tice a year and this year we are staying at the katerina, if you want places to go to eat, go to ethnic flavours which is owned by a lady called gina, go to waves bar which is on the beach and owned by dennis and his family.

Me and my partner are going to the Katerina Palace in 3 weeks times. Can anyone recommend some good restaurants and bars? Does anyone know what it is like in September? lively or quiet?

we went 8 aug 05 one week in a studio , rooms quite basic but clean maid service every day two pools  but never that busy    lilos around the pool for anyone to use ,quite lively night life  great  holiday

The studios are basic with a kettle and toaster included for your breakfasts, well worth the money, they are very popular and are not easy to come by unless you book far in advance.  They are just down the private road from the hotel and have good views from the balconies.  The owners and staff are second to none and families return year after year.

Can anyone tell me what the studios are like?

Well what can I say, stayed here for two weeks and it's definatly the best Hotel in Argassi, the staff are fantastic and couldn't do enough for us.

Brilliant time, friendly clean hotel, good atmosphere and brilliant staff and rep

 oops that came out as average, its not average!

Lovely place

its more worth your money to change it there.....go to the George supermarket to change it  as they have a good exchange rate, typically 1.46-1.5
hope that helps!

Anyone know the exchange rate in Zante, I heard somewhere that it's better to change money over there as the rate is better....any help? Ken

is anyone flying from cardiff?

Now thats a good idea, we will be in the airport early, the bar after you go through would be the best one...see you there.....hopefully

Add your co

hey,im flying from gatwick too

meet at airport bar then

16? crikey. where you flying from?

hey,never seen a hairdryer in my room,mind u,i not got much hair lol

how about meeting at pool bar at about 9.30 on the night of monday 4th july?

cheers ken thats great

Chris,  I contacted the hotel asking the same thing,  they do not have kettles in the hotel rooms but do in the studios,  you can hire a fridge for the hotel room and all rooms have hair dryers (another thing women like to know) 

does anyone know a) what time the hotel bar opens, and b) are there kettles in the room?( my girlfriend wants to know so she can bring her herbal crap)

Hi ken,if you want to hire a boat,i think you will need to go to laganas.

Cant remember seeing any for hire is argassi,just got the normal watersports there,ie paragliding,jetskis,water skiing etc

im arriving on july 4th too, the hotel looks well nice

Nearly forgot.....DOH! does anyone thats been there know were we can hire a boat, power/motor preferably.

Hi Dianne,

Hi everybody, I am trying to decide where to book my holiday to Argassi and the Katerina Palace looks good. Some questions -... We're 4 18yr olds, and we're NOT boisterous (don't panic!), but does the bar close quite early, what time to the resort gates close, are there at least a few young people around the hotel?... Are you allowed friends staying at other hotels to sit at the pool? I'm wondering whether only residents are allowed around it.... What is the breakfast like?... Is the resort centrally located to the resort centre? I don't mind it a little way out, but not too long a walk would be good.... Thanks! Sam... all_star89@hotmail.com

Cheers Maria! I'm heading over at the begining of July with my girlfriend, really can't wait! Couple more questions if you don't mind!! Was wondering if Argassi Beach has any facilities to hire a peddlo boat of some sort? Also, i don't suppose you did an Island tour on one of the boats, and f so which was the best?

Your help is much appreciated.....Joe

Staying in Katerina this July, anyone know how busy the pool gets during the day? Also is there anywhere nearby where you can hire bikes? Thanks...

have you any accomadation that has a seperate bedroom as there are 3 adults in our group. thank you
