Stayed here for a week with my wife and 13 year old son.
The room we were give was small, a 2 birth room with an extra bed sqeezed in, for a self catering appartment the only place to eat was on the balconey, again only really room for 2.
We had room 101 which was immeadiatly behind the reception, we were a bit worried it might be noisy. Needn't have worried the only noise were heard was the phone ringing in reception when we had a long lie in. The balcony had two sliding doors one glass and one a black out screen. We paid 35 euros for the Air Con and 15 euros for the safe. The air con was well worth it as temps hit 40+ degrees in the shade. The room was clean, as was the bathroom cooking facilities included, a 2 hob cooker, a microwave, a toaster and a sanwhich toaster. Maid service was every day, with fresh towels.
Reception and Bar staff were very friendly, the pool area was of sufficient size for the size of hotel, and is clean and well maintained. There are plenty of sun beds and seating around the pool and pool bar. Bar prices, both drinks and snacks are a little higher than you get down in the town, but quality is good, and spirits are served in large measures.
Overall a very nice hotel, a great base for a holiday in great resort, would recommend
Paul, to find Mavrikos from Popeyes.Walk away from Popeyes, with Popeyes behind you keep walking up the road, past Majestic on the left then past the family resturant on the right, follow the road round to the right, past the Bakery and Calypso resturant on the left and Paridise Bar on the right. Ahead of you is a Car/Bike/Quad hire place, go up the road to the right of this and there you will find the Mavrikos. If you amble slowly it will still take you less than 10 minutes from Popeyes.
hello there,thinking of stopping here next year,but was just wondering if someone could explain to me where the hotel is,in respect of popeyes? as you come out of popeyes,do you go up the road opposite or do you bear left? any help on this would be very much appreciated
Have stayed at Mavrikos 3 times in recent years and were going back for a fourth visit next month. Have always found the hotel to be clean and the staff very friendly. The hotel is about 5-6 minutes walk from Popeye's restaurant which is pretty central so gives you an idea of hotels location.
Can't wait to spend a month at the Mavrikos! Not long now, roll on June! We've both previously visited the hotel on separate occasions and absolutely loved it! We'll be spending lots of time around that bar so get the drinks ready!
Lots of love from Sophie and Carly! (Manchester)

I stayed in Mavrikos Apartments with my wife during end of June.
It's a very nice place to stay as being a Family run hotel everything has a personal touch and warmth.
The hotel is very hygienic and other facilities like Bar, Sun-bed etc are all good..
The place is very close to the town centre, and all facilities, restaurants, pubs are nearby. The tsilvi beach is just 8-10 mins walk from Mavrikos. Would definitely visit them again and recommend it to all visitors to Tsilivi, Zante.
We have just come back from zante and we stayed at the Mav for our 9th time. Met all of our old friends and some new people too. Jean ----- she is the best, soooo funny and soooo kind, Jean really does make the Mav! We will be back next year ---- cant wait.
Congratulations Gabby & Gezzell! x

Just returned from Mavrikos for the second time! Yet another fantastic holiday!!! Never usually return to the same hotel but this place is special. Yes there are many returning guests which speaks for itself, but when we went for the first time with our teenage children, we didn't feel excluded by the returning guests as suggested by other reviewers, but instead were made to feel very welcome and made friends very quickly! We have returned again and have made a new set of friends and are already planning the next trip! The hotel is advertised as lively friendly family hotel - which is exactly what it is! All of the hotel management and staff are very friendly and helpful and we now consider them friends. The hotel is spotlessly clean and safe for children. The location is excellent being close to the main street but far enough away to avoid the noise at night. It's fun for all the family here and we needn't have worried about there being enough to keep our teenagers occupied, as they also had a wonderful time! The pool bar really is a hub of activity, and Aunty Jean who works there is a really special lady and now a dear friend. She is fantastic with the kids of all ages and is always playing tricks and making everyone laugh! WE LOVE YOU JEAN! The food and the pool bar is excellent too - thank you Eva! You have to go if only to try one of Jean's special milkshakes - with extra TLC! They will be seeing us all again next year!xxx
