We stayed at the Zakantha Beach last May. We were hoping to go back this year but sadly had other arrangements. My relatives however did go this year. From the pictures it couldnt look any better! From reading other reviews it amazes me to what will actually please some people!!! The staff are what you expect - staff! They are there to supply a service, and if you are friendly enough to make friends with them, they are lovelly. Monica is one of the nicest people I have ever met and I think she is missing from certain peoples lives, thats why they found her 'over the top' personality welcoming. When my family went she asked for pictures and we spoke a few times on the phone. Be open minded. I wouldnt advise anyone to go here if they want to be left alone - including the whole resort! Stars restuarant is really nice and value for money, and the waitors match this hotel a treat! They are like a little family. The rooms when we satyed were in need of a facelift. I agree with the headboard on the bed, and the shower, but have a bath! It takes just the same time. The only noise we heard was when the Greeks came over for the main land for there holidays. We did hear alot of talking and laughing, but 2 days later they were gone. I think the only thing I would change, staying for two weeks, the breakfasts got very repeatative. 

We are all planning to go back next year and can't wait to see things for real. the pool looks amazing. 10/10.
