recently came back from holiday in zante, at the koukounaria hotel and wondered if anyone could help me to get in touch with one of the staff, Jimmy. I asked him for his number but he forgot and would love to chat to him again

Just returned from probably our best holiday ever at the Koukounaria Apartments, we will definitely be returning next year (if not before, watch out Leo, I will get you back!!).

Had requested 1 bedroom apartment, which we were allocated on arrival, basic, clean accommodation, remember to bring own kettle/toaster as there is an extra charge, also charge for air con which we found necessary, and safety deposit box, deposit for breakages will be refunded on departure.
 
We did little other than make coffee as the breakfast both in complex and in local restaurants (Fantasia, Relax) were superb.  Spoilt for choice for evening meals, newly opened Lino Bistro at complex was excellent, good value for money, wonderful, attentive staff (can't thank chef Ayman enough for baking wonderful birthday cake for our daughter's birthday), Jimmy and Donia both lovely.  Outside of complex, we liked the Nisiotiko (turn right out of complex 200m on right, traditional family restaurant, very quiet.  Buca Bar for cocktails on beach was good.
 
We were greatly entertained by all of the staff, especially (cheeky monkey) Leo, lovely Jimmy and Nikos (great craic in the Blues bar in the evenings, even changed the music to suit whatever we liked)  Beware the Black Sambuca (lethal liquorice liqueur, lovely, but very very strong, couldn't find any to buy to bring home).
 
The pool area was fantastic, huge, deep pool plus two smaller children's pools, spotlessly clean pool area (little too much chlorine, but necessary I suppose) our children lived here all day.  Beach is about 5-10 mins walk, can get quite windy in afternoons (watch out for low flying beach umbrellas, I was hit in the back by one - ouch very painful,
 
Traditional Greek evenings were good fun, very family orientated.  We booked two trips with Mamfredas agency in village, firstly boat trip around island (E27 per person half price for children) which was quite good, if a little long and does tend to get quite choppy around the north of island (so beware if you tend to become seasick).  Secondly trip to waterpark, which was fabulous, although does take a long time to get there by the time you pick up other travellers from neighbouring villages on the way (E20 per person), coming back smaller bus and direct route.
 
Didn't use Airtours Rep at complex at all in fact I didn't see her until the morning of our return as she didn't accompany us to the complex on our arrival.

There in July and last year. Fantastic hotel, people brilliant from Leo, Billy, George, Miri and the owners Elani & Yannis. It was like being part of a large family. We did have a problem with rooms when we arrived and received absolutely no help from Felicity the rep. ( in fact she was so rude) but Elani the manager was there to sort everything out and everyday was making sure we were all happy. This is the policy of the family, nothing is too much trouble. Would recommend to any-one particularly families.

Just returned and was very disappointed with the room .We paid for an appartment but the room we received was basically a studio with a pair of patio sliding doors in the middle (not great when you have two daughters of 10 & 13). Also you would expect that when you book a self catering appartment you would at least get a kettle and a toaster included, not so here you have to pay.

That said the rest of the hotel facilities are very good, the staff very freindly and the pool excellent. Also you can cut through the double side gates behind the main block to the main resort centre which is a safer walk at night.
 
Just make sure when you check in to insist on a separate bedroom room if you have paid for a 5 person appartment.

Hi Karl! The apartments do have plenty of ramps and lifts so you have no reason to worry (although some may say that some of the ramps are quite steep) but apart from that you shouldn't have a problem. Hope you have a fantastic time..i have to wait another 8 weeks . Katie

just returned on the 13th of june from another fantastic holiday at the koukounaria. me and my friend had a really good time. everyone that has been before will no the staff there. well jimmy has gone into the army so we have three knew workers there now. one is the chef dan he can be ok but he always turns up in the same bar as you. there is bill he is only 17 but he is so sweet and then there is paint boy we named he this as the first time we saw him he was painting and we couldnt say his real name lol. i also spoke to george this time he the owner he really sweet and im going back in september to see him. i also saw mario, leo, tony and miri. i met up with tony when i arrived and i gt told he was engaged and he wears the ring but he wont admit it so becareful girls if he tries it on with u. we went into zante town for the night and it was nice but be careful as the shops shut at half 9 so i suggest u go shopping then eat. we also decided to go on the turtle trip although there no promise u will see any. we saw one but it was a good day out. the weather was fantastic aswel although it did rain one day in the middle of our stay. well i hope anyone thinkin of stayin at the koukounaria does it is such a friendly place. and i will be returning in september for the 4th time. if anyone has any questions just leave me a message
