Havana Apartments ::...:: Laganas ::...:: Zante ::...:: Zakynthos

The UK's Internet Portal for Zakynthos

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.

Have been going to Havana for many years (sometimes x 3 in a season) and was quite surprised last weekend when the travel agent contacted my daughter and husband and their 6 friends saying Kosmar had chnaged their accomodation to the Bonavista. The explanation for this was that they are not contracting with the Havana. They did not want to stay at the Bonavista, so Kosmar changed it to the Marios.

They stated that if they cancelled they would loose their deposit, also are people aware that the luggage allowance is now only 15kgs! It will cost an extra �15 to take 20kgs.

During the many years I have been going to the Havana I have made many friends as lots of families stay there especially in May, June and September, also many people who don't stay there return to use the pool and bar to enjoy the hospitality of Timos, Nicos, Stellios and all their family.

These people feel as though they are part of my extended family and last August Timos attended my daughter's wedding along with 40guests from England (all but 6 stayed at Havana).

Also will the pool and bar be open? A great shame for all us regulars but what about the lads' incomes?

Lets hope Tony and Denis (owners) can sort something with Kosmar asap

Timos Stelios n nikos own the pool and bar absolutley top guys, had some right stories to tell. Respect there rules n u'll get on with em like a house on fire. The pool is realy nice one of cleanest in zante food in the bar was good and i have a new love for mythos beer well nice!

The rooms are basic but all wat u need, cleaned every other day. Don't break owt cos u will get charged a fair wack by the guy who owns the hotel but the guy was sounds with are group cos we said hi n was as polite as pos to him, where as i heard of other group gettin lectures n fines left rite n centre. For a group of 9 of us over 2 weeks we only got fined 10euros for breaking a plastic chair so we did ok! lol

Anyways sorry for going on, jus wanted to let ppl know there guna have a mint holiday goin there i would go back agen at the drop of a hat if i ad chance!

Anyone who remebers us lads get intouch
