This hotel is brilliant the views are great and the pool although a bit cold was fantastic
During my stay i had to attend hospital and the owners could not do enough for me they arranged transport there and back and kept asking how my unborn baby was.
The rooms where very clean and had kettles in them
The bar was open and the shop and both where resonably priced
The snacks where lovely
I would recommend this hotel to anyone even those with small children there is even a very posh lift so ideal if you do have kiddies
We took our 10 month old and the travel cot provided was very clean and obviously comfy as she had no problems sleeping
Thank you to all the staff for making our holiday great
Fantastic Pool, enough room to move around. The only problem was it was freezing cold, and it was not salt water as advertised in holiday brochure. And all rooms had a pool view (with no extra charge)
Yasoo Nick. Remember us. We had a great time staying with you and your family. Except the weather was not very good the first week with thunder storms.
Stayed here for the first time this year and really have to be honest and say that we were a little disappointed. Not with the standard of the hotel (which was good overall), or the staff who were absolutely lovely. Our gripe came with the levels of equipment in our room. We booked as a self catering couple and one would expect certain items to be provided within the room. Our kitchen consisted of 2 glass tumblers, 2 coffee cups, 1 saucer, 1 large plate, 1 small plate, 1 breakfast bowl, 1 knife, 2 forks and 1 spoon. Cooking utensils were provided in the shape of 1 huge saucepan you could have boiled a rhino in, a frying pan with a broken handle and a jug. Now I know it's Zakynthos and we weren't expecting (or indeed needing) the kitchens from the ritz hotel. Indeed we ate out every evening, but the ability to do a cup of coffee and some toast for breakfast would have been a bonus. We've been to Zakynthos many times before and usually stay in the Planos Aparthotel in Tsilivi where the kitchen you are provided with is equiped to a very good standard. There really is no excuse for the lack of facilities provided at Plessas Palace. Luckily though, we had read a few reviews of the place before we actually went and had the foresight to take a mini travel kettle and one or two other items with us. We'd been forewarned about just this very problem so it never spoiled our time there. Oh incidentally if you're not self catering you don't even get to use the fridge without forking out an extra payment. Overall it's a pleasant hotel run by a very nice family. They just need to address this one problem and it would be almost perfect. The pool was clean and well kept and there was none of this stupid putting towels on the sunbeds at three in the morning we see at other hotels. Would we go back?........ yes definately, but we'd take some plates with us
We have enjoyed taking our annual holiday at the Plessas Palace Hotel for several years. The hotel has consistently improved. The hotel is clean, the family who own and run the hotel friendly and helpful. The rooms are about 3.5 meters by 6 meters. The bathroom measures about 1.8 meters by 1.4 meters. The shower cubicle is a bit on small side, almost the same size as some entire bathrooms in hotels in Sussex Gardens London, where one can shower while sitting on the toilet. Each room has a private balcony with a table and chairs where one may enjoy the view. There are private safe boxes in the lobby to leave one's valuables. The area is quiet and relaxing. It is conveniently located, just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The beach at Alikanas is clean and seems to be safe. One can wade in to thigh depth then there is a sand bar which brings one to knee depth. Once one starts swimming you can see the sand just under ones feet, only to discover that it is at a depth of several meters. In short crystal clear water.
NICE POOL BUT WENT TO MILLENIUM POOL BAR ( NEXT DOOR) EVERYDAY FROM DAY TWO AS PEOPLE AT POOLSIDE AT HOTEL (CUSTOMERS WERE BUNCH OF BORING PEOPLE WHO DIDNT LIKE TWO TWO YR OLDS!)
SEEMS AS IF REGULARS GO HERE AND DONT LIKE CHANGE SUCH AS FAMILES GOING - IF THEY DONT LIKE IT GO WHERE THERE IS NO KIDS
I CANNOT PRAISE THE FAMILY WHO RUN THIS HOTEL ENOUGH THEY LOOKED AFTER ME AND MY HUSBAND VERY WELL AFTER I BROKE MY LEG ON THE BEACH STEPS THEY WERE GREAT.http://www.justgreece.co.uk/rte/tongue.gif THE ROOM WAS CLEANED EVERYDAY I KNOW I WATCHED THEM DO IT. http://www.justgreece.co.uk/rte/clap.gifTHEY DESERVE BETTER RATINGS THAN OTHERS GIVE THEM.
Just got back from 2 weeks at Plessas Palace 'hotel and apts' HA! That was more like a studio to me. I shared a room with my boyfriend and we had to use the spare bed to lay our clothes out on because you only get 1 wardrobe as storage space with about 5 coat hangers.
We expected it to be a basic room but not so basic that you get about 1 knife 1 fork and 1 plate. The shower is stupidly small you can barely move around in the thing so we had to leave the shower doors open and let the whole bathroom get sobbing wet just so we can wash properly. Ladies, if you want to shave you have no chance in that shower!
On the plus side its in a great location, the resort is lovely and everyone is very friendly. The 'hotel' DOES look very nice on the outside and the pool is descent we had a lovely view of the hill side but after giving up on those people who put their towels on a sunbed and walk off and leave them there we began to use the Millenium pool up the road..its a british, family run pool and bar and the family is VERY nice! Try their cooked breakfasts!
Will defo come bak to Alykanas but will try somewhere different to stay.
We were booked in for 16 nights hols on 14th July and had no problem with the rooms at all - they were cleaned every other day - both towels and bedding changed. The only problem we had was the lack of storage space for clothing - 1 wardrobe between 6 people is not enough! - and it's not as if there is not the space in the rooms (which are very spacious) but some drawers would be more than welcome!
Hi to Johanna, Sakis and family we had a great holiday and look forward to seeing you again next year - you're always so friendly and helpful.
we spent 2 wks at the plessas palace in june i can say now we will not go back yes the maids go in almost every day BUT the only thing they did was the bins our room was 2inchs thick of DUST under the beds had not seen a duster or brush for the 2 wks.but the family are great.
We couldn't fault the Plessas Palace from the time we arrived until we left. The family were very helpful if ever we wanted anything. The maid was in every day bar one the week we were there. We will definately return again.
Excellent resort, excellent location - just the constant hassel over paying for an extra nights stay (which I still don't know why we had to pay). 4 times we were approached by different family members in one day for payment which we paid a day before than we needed to. Also they make you change rooms - we had 3 rooms in one week. Apart from this a nice hotel.
