I stayed here in 2006 and loved it so much. The rooms are clean. However we had a room on the ground floor and was unable to put clothes in the wardrobe because it smelt very damp. I didnt mind living out of my suitcase though.
Excellent location, a stones through from the beach. Lovely staff, Jimmy is brilliant.
A bit further away from all the nightlife but it didnt matter to us.
We've just come back to the UK after 2 weeks holiday and had a wonderful time. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Special thanks toAndreas, Dennis and Jimmy and to the maid who cleaned Room 312.
Would recommend the following restaurants: Kostas Taverna, Delicious Restaurant, Bolero Restaurant and Taj Mahal - all on the Kalamaki Road plus the Blue Seas restaurant (turn right at the roundabout at the bottom of Laganas Road onto the beach and about 5 buildings on).
Just returned to the UK after spending 2 weeks at the hotel. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Andreas and Dennis. Jimmy was also a right character! Special thanks also to the maid who cleans Room 312. My wife and I would certainly consider coming back again.
we went to this hotel last june and it is beauiful, very clean, lovely staff and right on beach, we meet a couple there who we became friends with and have just come back from another week there with them and my daughter and her boyfriend, who also loved it and are planning on going back next year. we will be back too.
We have just come back from the Andreola Hotel, and can confirm that the red haired woman is no longer there. The staff here could do with some lessons on being friendly and having a sense of humour (a right miserable lot). Breakfast is not very interesting so dont rush down at 8am for it. There is also no children, just couples, and Germans. The rooms are quite small, no coffee making facilities, and our room was on ground floor, we had a balcony but our view was of a load of bushes, not very interesting at all, you couldnt sit out on it and get a sun tan. Location is very nice.
Oh my god how funny was our stay there, 6 girls went on 20th - 28th July 04, we had a bloody good time. But the woman with the long red hair - we nick named her HELGA, she was a nightmare. She WILL NOT allow you to bring anyone back to the hotel (she is the night security woman) and a few of my mates tried getting blokes back - all unsucessful - this woman actually chased them up there balconies with a flashlight and stormed into there rooms to make sure no men were there?!! She is a nuttah. She also tends to lie a fair bit, there were a few couples staying at the hotel the same time as us and she told them lie after lie about various things. She called the police two nights why we were there, once because a bloke went skinny dipping in the pool, and second cause we tried to get a bloke in our room?! She's well scary :-( We made a formal complaint to First Choice, and the rep 'J' said that they'd been trying to get rid of her for ages! The bar was meant to be 24hrs so one nite we came back and she was asleep with her bloke and we made her get us all a round of drinks and cook beans of toast, ha ha - she loved it! NOT! So not really the place to go for your jollidays. Apart from that our holiday was excellent, bars, clubs, cocktails, fishbowls, sun, sea, etc etc. x
sorry to hear about your lose simon. but have too disagree with you about the rest of the staff they were brilliant. espescially Andres,Dennis,Yannis and not but least the wonderfully funny Jimmy. hope too see them all next year. Please don't be put off this hotel is brilliant and friendly.
To be fair us i had a brilliant time in Zante, but be warned if u r staying in thins hotal. The comment below says the women who robbed us blind has been sacked, good, she deserves everythinf she gets. She stole two phones, travellors cheques (signed off in the reception with my signature obviously faked, cash and a pair of jeans for f**k sake). Apologise for anyone we woke up in the hotel on are last two days of our holiday but the women was a liability and she really took the piss. Thank you to evryone one who helped us out, u know who u r and we were grateful. the police sent a report and we r in the process of taking first choice to court, haha. So please just read this and dont go to the hotel if u have the choice, it seems ok but it is corrupt as anything, the woman is just the tip of the iceberg im sure. The owner pretends to speak no english when u have a problem but he is happy enough speaking it when he is taking your money. I dont want to sound like a wan*er but nobody deserves to find a naked bloke in your room and 600 squids worth of stuff go missing, it angers me. If anyone wants to get in touch then just drop me an email and i will tell u the whole story properly. BE WARNED PEOPLE
the good news is that spliff smoking night lady has been sacked and she didnt half deserve it - 1st class grade a b***h ! hotel was nice though - bit of a walk to the centre but plenty of shops and restaurants around it. be warned though - leave things on the balcony at your peril - things get stolen !!!!! any somebody shut those cockerels up !!!!
