Just got back from holiday in Kalamaki at Caretta Beach. It was absolutely fantastic, all the staff were very friendly and helpful and I must say we had a good laugh with the bar staff!!The complex is beautiful and I couldn't fault any of the facilities or staff!I would recommend Caretta beach to anyone!I wish I was still there!!Also if you stay here, go to the greek night-was such good fun and great value!
It is soo lovely here. At first we was unsure, but you get used to basic living if self catering. The pools was great, with hardly any children, which is great for 7 18 year olds to sun bathe. The bars are good and lively when you are about to start your night out. It is easy to get a taxi to lagnas and we fitted 7 of us in one taxi for 10 euro but normally its 7 euro to the strip. A 2 minute walk to kalamaki main strip with loads of food and bars. You have to learn to say no, when they try and get you to come in. Caretta Beach is really good and especially on 2 for 1 cocktails. Definately go here!!!!!!!!!
Just got back today from staying at the Caretta Beach, I went with my wife, sixteen year old daughter and her mate, we all had a fantastic time.
This is a fantastic hotel, the staff are lovely and can't do enough for you, the apartments are well decorated, cleaned every day and towels changed every other day, the pools are spotless with no worries regards getting a sunbed, it is family orientated but if you are group who want to party you will be well catered for as well at the hotel as there are happy hours every day, the bar staff are great along with the entertainment with loads of live music, there is quite a few clubs and loads of music bars in Kalimaki but its and only a short taxi ride for about 10 euros into Laganus where you can party all night.
We ate at the Mermaid in town most nights and the food was excellent higly recommended.
Will definately go back again, excellent value as well.
We have just arrived back home from here(BOO HOO!). It has to be said that this is probably one of the best hotels we have stayed in over the past few years. We had a wicked time and would reccomend a stay here if you are visiting the island. All the staff were excellent and cannot be faulted. Thanks.
We would definately urge everyone who stays at the Caretta to attend the BBQ evening. Excellent food and some great fun to be had dancing the night away.
My kids had a fantastic time in the many pools which were always well presented every day and were spotlessly clean.
I am sure anyone who wants a relaxing time and have a fun filled evening this is the place to go.
Thanks to all the staff at Caretta beach hotel - cool.
heading over to Caretta for 2 weeks on the 11th July. How hot will it be!!!!!! There is a big gang of us going over (20 inc kids) Girls age from 12 to 16, is there much for them to do? Can we bring them to the factory to the form party ? hearing great report, really looking forward to the trip, any info would be appreciated.

Hi all at Caretta Beach, just got back today from a weeks holiday and we have to say we had a great time there, loved sitting out for the happy hour in the sun. Also my husband and myself were probably one of the last people to leave the bar. Left the family at home this time so enjoyed the rest, we are the Irish couple. We would like to thank you all for a great holiday, I am the one who wanted the music on all the time when sitting outside. Good luck to all D J Ginge, George who supplied us with a LOT of shots and a lot of hangovers lol. Hope to see you all again, all the bar staff, Thomas and everybody there that made us feel welcome. Thanks again
Hi, we've booked for two weeks in August. Is it any good for children, one 4 one 2? And is there any entertainment or kids discos etc in the evening? Been to Zante many years but not Kalamaki, it is a beautiful island from what I remember. Would anyone recommend any trips with the kids? Thank you
booked a last minute holiday in may with my wife and we were lucky enough to end up at the caretta.everything was spot on and have booked to go next year for 2 weeks this time with our 2 children.
Absolutely fabulous holiday once again. If you are going to Kalamaki, there is only one place to stay and that is here. Stayed for two weeks this September, in the midst of the XL Air fiasco and Marina and all the hotel staff were first class.
The hotel itself seems to grow every year! This was our 8th or 9th visit and we cant wait to return. The hotel rooms are excellent, there's plenty of room for the kids, and plenty of room to get away from them too!
They have their own website now which is well worth a visit if you are thinking of going.
We love it - all the best to the staff for the winter and all being well, we will see you next year x
What a great hotel/apartments and fantastic staff, returned on Sunday 21 Sept and I would just like to thank Thomas Moffat the way he handled the XL fiasco, when the proverbial hit the fan, this guy got everyone together and told us in no uncertain terms that no one would be evicted from their rooms, and wouldn't have to pay anything extra (even though kosmar already owed them thousands of euros!) if flights were not available, the people involved were told to get a taxi back from the airport and the hotel would put them up until a flight was available for them, he even took some people in, that had been thrown out of their hotel in nearby Laganas. He told the rest of the people who were flying out the next Sunday, to relax and enjoy ourselves as something would be sorted by then. Anyone who is thinking of visiting Kalamaki there is only one place to stay. Caretta! thanks once again Thomas, Marina and all your excellent staff.
