for your own sake don’t stay at perkes!!!! there’s one good thing about the hotel and that’s the rep leggie, she is a right laugh and i advise u to do the bar crawl at least once when she’s running the show, u get absolutely mashed. its wicked.

zante in itself is gr8 u will love it we were always in pink panthers and getting the fishbowls down our necks every nite of the holiday. mad murphys was gr8 too if you like the down to earth cheesy music.

right now for the bad bit in zante, we had a nightmare as soon as we even got there it was 6 in the morning and got a strict warning to make sure we r quiet when and carrying our massive suitcases up the stairs so that wasn’t the nicest welcome, there wasn’t anyone there to help us get our things to our rooms.

the first night we had a right telling off, we kinda deserved it a way coz it was our own fault. we accidentally locked ourselves out of our room we were told by nik the rude aussie bloke that this was not a problem the night watchman wud let us in our rooms when we got back as he had a spare key. when we got back to the hotel and the night man went to open the door we realised we had left our key on the inside of the lock. the night watchman just walked away and didn’t have a care in the world we were left standing in the corridor with nowhere to sleep so we went downstairs to explain to nik what had happened you could immediately see pound signs appear in his eyes. he was really sharp and blunt with us and said well u will just have to wait until the morning and i will call the locksmith its your own fault but u will have to  pay the costs.???. does the hotel not have insurance??? anyway we went to kip in our mates room an went back downstairs to make sure they had called the locksmith but the blonde haired young woman told us we would have to wake for nick to wake up and she wouldn’t phone for us. she said there was nobody else who cud phone for a locksmith which is ridiculous! then she told us we would probably have to pay around 800 euros. we were gutted coz that would be practically all our holiday money gone within 1 day. we went back upstairs and saw the maid my mate asked the made to have a go at trying to get us in our room she said “no problem” slid a piece of laminated paper up the door and we were in.!. the hotel managers knew she was able to do this but wanted us to think a locksmith had come to do it so we would pay out!!! they were all about the money in that hotel.

then another night sum random man barged into my m8s room and wouldn’t get out bare in mind 3 girls were trying to get to undressed and he wouldn’t get out then old moaner margaret came to see what the noise was about and gave my m8 a yellow card for shouting at this bloke!!

the red and yellow card system was basically a yellow card was a warning and if you got a red you were thrown out of the hotel.

 we had our music on a 9 o’clock one night before we went out and the old greek man came banging on our door ordering us to turn it off!! this is supposed to be a lively hotel it should not be advertised as one. i wouldn’t of minded but the music wasn’t even loud at all.

the staff at the hotel have children, in my opinion this is not the kind of environment you should bring children up in anyway, they are the ones who advertise their hotel as lively how can they expect no noise in the night at all its ludicrous.

we were told that we had to pay 35 euros for one a broken plastic chair on the balcony which was already broken when we had arrived. the hotel just wanted your money. their priorities were all wrong. by this time we really had enough of the hotel oh and by the way there are no fridges like they advertise on there website!! we weren’t allowed to take drink in our room but we did, we just hid it in our suitcases or the maids take it off u in the morning, all our drink was gone by then anyway.

we had to share balconies which random strangers, luckily enough for us we had 3 of the best scousers ever, aiden gary and ali were fab, and if your reading this, hi guys, gary hope ur heads better. they kept us entertained with stupid random stories about mad things but you mite not be as lucky as us and end up with anyone!!

one morning we got up early to go out and we went to all get drinks to take with us from the pool bar, it was there where my mate paid with a 50 euro note and only given change for 10. she noticed this as soon as she was given her change and complained. the woman behind the bar was rude and not even willing to listen, after around 10 minutes of my m8 going mad the woman checked spoke to the young boy who served my m8 and he had gone round to the other pool bar and put that 50 euro note in that till so that when she showed us her money in her till it wasn’t there. they were all money grabbers but in the end we did get our money back.

another main let down was the young bloke behind the bar who considers himself as gods gift to women, he is rude and stuck up his own a**e. we went down to ask about air con and complain about the state of the new towels we had been given that day, they were covered in sick!!! he told us to go away and leave him alone as he wasn’t in the mood and mite say something he shouldn’t to us. i don’t expect get spoken to like that anywhere let alone by hotel staff.!!!!! what were we supposed to do if none of the staff we willing to help us??

don’t have food from the pool, its seems good value etc but we saw the bloke picking his nose before he brought our food over to us, it goes without saying none of us eat breakfast that morning!!

however, don’t let this put u off zante as the place is lovely people are polite and the atmosphere is gr8. just don’t stay at perkes.!. i wouldn’t recommend my worst enemy.
