There is nothing wrong with the Golden Dolphin. Apartments are basic but functional. It's right next to the beach which is a great advantage. You will love it on the beach. The sand is clean. The sea is the cleanest i've ever seen (you can swim with fish right up to the shore). The apartments are next to a cocktail / pool bar (next door), which has loud music until around 12 at night. This may put some people off. The owners have boats available for hire, I would get one and explore a bit of the island. Things to watch out for : (1)Mosquitos - Yes Zante has them (they bite bad), just bring lots of mosquito spray, and those mosquito killers you plug in (2)Cheap Cocktails - They are nice :-) (3)Water for the apartment - if the water pressure isn't good enough for a shower just ask the owners to put the water pump on (4)Bring money to hire boats - about 50 euros(it's really worth it) (5)If you want to go on a 'tour' of some kind, it may be cheaper going into Alykes and checking out the prices of the local tour operators. (6)The Piccadilly (resturant) in the centre of Alykes seems to tbe the best all round value drink/food/service. P.S The Manos Rep was great

This place is very good for the beach. Try hiring a boat, it's great!
