My wife and I made a late booking for a week in Laganas at the beginning of July, and I have to say that we couldn't have picked a better place. The Divina rooms are very basic, but are spacious and clean. Don't expect to be able to do a lot of cooking, because with just two hot-rings and no food preparation surfaces, you will struggle. The fridge is a standard size, and even had an ice-box, so you can keep stocked up with cool drinks and chill that excellent Zakynthos wine :) There is no air conditioning, but fan hire is just 2E per day, and I would recommend you get one straight away as the nights are very, very warm. There are approx 30 rooms on 3 floors, and all had balconies overlooking the olive groves. The walk to the beach is about 200m. The centre of Laganas is a 10 min walk away. Far enough to be able to escape the club goers, but also close enough for when you want to join in the fun. Would we stay at the Divinas again? Without hesitation..yes!!

The beach becomes the main road after 7pm, so beware. Very busy around Laganas central stretch during the day, but a stroll left or right for 10 mins, and you'll soon find a quieter area. The sea is warm and clear, and very safe for kids. We hired a pedalo for an hour late one afternoon and spotted 3 turtles (Caretta caretta) which was a real thrill. The next resort of Kalamaki can be reached by walking along the beach, approx 2km.
