Golden Sun Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Caretta L          3/10

We went here in July 2009 for 1 week and were thoroughly disappointed after reading some of the great reviews on this site.

This hotel sucks so much that I can not understand how it can be a 3 star . The beds were hard as rock and the pillows were horrible. Me and my husband got two single beds smashed together with a big gap in between . The bathroom floor was constantly wet as there was no proper shower or shower curtains. They dont provide shampoo, body wash or soaps for any day except the first day. When we asked for soaps the next day we were told that they only provide welcoming shampoo of 10ml!
 
We have never been to a worse hotel than this. The breakfast menu sucked. 
 
I can understand the nearby beach closing at 7pm everynight for turtle breeding but I fail to understand why they need to close the hotel swimming pool at 7pm as well .
 
And everything in Zante is over-priced to beyond ridiculous for tourists. So haggeling is necessary.
 
We wanted to rate it as zero but we give it a 3/10 because of great view and friendly staff.
 
This hotel is recommended for : no-one, if you can - get somewhere else.
