We have just returned from the garden palace apartments and its a ok place if you dont intend on doing much cooking as facilities not that good, nice pool , pleasant staff , good location for bars and restaurants and the beach ........................................................................................
This place is really best avoided. It looks like it is on its last legs & the two brothers who run it clearly have no idea how to turn it around. Their response is just to be surly, rude & aggressive to anyone who they think is not giving them enough money in the form of custon at their bar, extra for air-conditioning, etc. My family and I were well-behaved, friendly and polite, but, because we did not spend a fortune on their over-priced and mediocre food & watery beer and because we had the temerity to ask if we could receive a phone call to get my daughter's A-level results (the answer was an aggressive "no"), we were treated with relentless petulence and hostility. If you have a family, or if you want to do something during your time in Zante other than drink at the bar and stroke the egos and line the pockets of these awful people, my advice is: stay away!
just got back from the garden palace,what a place clean well maintend,the bar area was fantastic the food excellent and as for yannis and aggis the owners and there wifes atheana and olger you could not have had better hosts.i like to think i am a well traveled person and have been to the greek islands many time including seven times to zante and can honestly say this is the best hotel i have been to.youdo get young and old there but the brothers do not stand for a lot of late night noise,as for location it is three minutes from the beach and five from the busy resrt centre close but not to close.i strogly recommed this hotel for the young and old,and will be staying there again for defient .
Me and my friends booked up to stay at the havana in july 2008 however after a few weeks we found out that kosmar were no longer dealing with the havana studios anymore ( not that the travel agents told us) anyway after 3 hours or so in the travel agents we were moved to the garden palace. In terms of location this accomodation was not ideal - a good 25 minute walk to the strip but only a short walk from the beach. The apartments themselves were ok however very basic we were shocked to see that the apartments did not have appliances such as a kettle and a toaster considering they were self catering apartments.Despite this the apartments did have air con in some of the rooms which was quiet expensive, the rooms also had a safe which you also had to pay for.
We just got back from Zante on Sunday 13th July, me and my cousin Lauren loved it that much....we are going back out to live there on the 3rd of August. We have both been offered jobs by family friends out there and we also have an apartment waiting for us! My parents got married on Cameo Island when we were there was amazing! The temp latley has not reached below 35 degrees! So best stock up on them ice cubes and sun block high factors! Hope everyone has an amazing time the only thing that did out me off was the VOILENCE on the strip, its like a football fan hooligan riot every night.....the amount of fights i had to stop was unreal!
