Laganas Resort - (Resorts in Zante)

Lisa A

We are four girls heading to Laganas on June 29th for one week. Can anyone suggest any really lively bars? Not really tacky ones but ones with music and a good atmosphere!!! We are not into that whole 'Ibiza uncovered thing'!!!

Also if anyone knows any good restaurants, let me know!!

Laganas Beach - (Beaches in Zante)

No, sun loungers on Laganas beach are not free. They are 4 Euro for the day.

Cocktails and Dreams - (Bars in Laganas)

When we passed this place the first few nights we laughed at how tacky it appeared from the outside and swore we would never go in there! But after many drinks one night, curiosity got the better of us! Yes it is tacky but in the best possible way. The music is a bit of everything but it will get you dancing – no doubt on the bar! The cocktails are amazing (try the bubblegum shots) and the barmen who make them are even better!!! Oh.My.God. Possibly the best looking men in Laganas. If you go there, prepare to witness their flirting and the best damn cocktail making ever!! Kostas and Tykis you rock, you are babes. We are already planning our next trip to laganas!!:-)

Anastasia Beach Hotel - (Accommodation in Laganas)

I have to agree with the previous comments made by ‘tell the truth’. We stayed there around the same time this year and even though the location is fantastic, the rooms are very basic for a 4 star hotel.

On first impressions, the lobby itself looked very plush but we were so disappointed when we got to our rooms. We had requested a sea view and got 2 rooms that were practically in the basement. My friend compared them to ‘servants quarters’, which is what they were like! In our brochure it told us that there was Air Con and fridges in all rooms. But we were shocked to have to pay extra, particularly for a fridge!

We complained about rooms and the ‘grumpy manageress’ told us we could not move, as the hotel was full. They moved us the next day when there were two rooms available and they were a massive improvement, but still not what we had paid for.

Despite the initial diapointment with the rooms, we did managed to enjoy our stay there as it was right on the beach. But beware of the tourists who put their towels on their sun loungers at 7pm the night before!! I have never seen anything like it. The staff at the pool side snack bar were lovely and could not be faulted.

However we had paid for half board and I felt it was not good value. The breakfast buffet was very odd. With what can only be described as cardboard for toast, yellow water for orange juice and watery milk. And who eats cooked meats for breakfast? Very strange. The dinner buffet was equally disappointing and not good value. We ate it twice in a week but ended up going elsewhere for dinner, as it is so cheap to eat out in Laganas. But it was a complete waste of money going half board.

Overall we had a great time in Laganas and spent every night on ‘the strip’, only a 15 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel is in a great location, but was far too expensive and did not offer good value for money.

Kamikaze Bar - (Bars in Laganas)

This is a great place for cocktails and the bar men arenot bad either!!!! Mario is a total babe. Christos, George and Mario are great barmen and very friendly. They are certainly very talented when it comes to tossing that cocktail shaker and would give Tom Cruise a run for his money any day!!!! Watch out for the bar being set on fire though, you will feel the heat big time!!!!

Cocktails and Dreams - (Bars in Laganas)

This is the by far the best bar in Laganas. We were in Zane two months ago and had to come back....particularly for Cocktails and Dreams. We were not disappointed!! The lads behind the bar all remembered us and we had great fun with them. They are as cute as ever!! The drinks are a bit pricey, but you pay for the hunky bar men and their cocktail shaking!!!It is worth every penny. Thanks again Kostas, Takis and Babis for making our holiday a great one again! ;-)
