Amaryllis Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Sarah C           

My family stayed here June 11 -18. We all had a great holiday although not much for the kids to do, luckily they were showing all the world cup footie games! Plenty of flies and mossies about in the evening and the noises coming from the bull rushes behind our apartment were very 'tropical!'. The walk to the beach seemed to take longer than 10 minutes, but that could have been due to the heat (temp on average was 40+).Kalamaki beach is lovely; clear, warm waters and clean sands - go past the sun loungers and it feels like you've got the beach to yourself.Hired an opentopped jeep from Hermes, toured Zante, the island is small and the roads were really quiet.Some spectacular views, take plenty of water with you wherever you go.We were not very impressed with our tour rep, but luckily didn't have much to do with her! We also managed to have a late check out for our apartment as our flight was a late one. A fabulous holiday was had by us all, will be going back to another Greek island next year!

Very busy restaurant; good selection of food and plenty of it. It felt like we couldn't really relax and 'savour the atmosphere!' as the waiters were rushing about and some of the waitresses seemed close to tears.

We only ate here once but the meal we had was lovely! Good atmosphere and friendly waiters, the only downside was that they didn't really cater for kids(no chicken nuggets or sausages!!)Wish we had found this place at the start of our holiday.

We seemed to wait for ages between courses,luckily there is a small play area for the children. Very humid evening when we visited here which didn't help but the food was nice!! Had a complimentary drink at the end of our meal (Not sure what it was!).

First Choice - (Tour Operators in Zante)

We flew from Bristol airport without any problems. Couldn't wait to get out of Zante airport and onto the coach!We stayed at the Amaryllis Apartments. Wasn't very impressed with our First Choice rep, Hayley, she gave us the impression she couldn't be bothered. Also were told the wrong pick up time, from our apartments, by coach,to the airport.We spent 3 hours at Zante airport waiting for our flight which wasn't much fun! There is a small duty free shop; didnt brave the toilets;plenty of flies to swat and if you are lucky enough to get a seat-don't move off it!!
