Not long been back from the Venus, this was our 2nd time staying here and won't be our last.  We couldn't fault anything with the hotel....the staff are great, pool area and rooms are nice, and its in a good location.

The rooms have recently been refurbished and I have to say what a difference!  The snack bar is great and the prices really cheap too, it's close to the resort centre and also the beach.  I think this has to be the best hotel in Kalamaki.
 
Hi to Donna and Dan who kept us watered at the bar, and also a big Thank You to all the staff who made our holiday a great one.
 
We hope to be back soon!

The Venus is brill....friendly staff, clean, great pool. We are now looking to return next year for another week.

click to enlargeclick to enlargeclick to enlarge Great hotel and fab resort.   we have been to Kalamaki twice and had great holidays each time.   the Venus is friendly and well maintained with the very best customer service from Nick and his team.   The food is fine, breakfast is continental which you would expect being in Greece not Blackpool.   the snack bar by the pool is good prices not bad either.   We stayed in a suit which you can only get by booking direct ( see pics above ) great for a family so ask for details from the web site.   Kalamaki is brilliant loads of fab restaurants such as Escape, Stani's, Zeppo's plus lots more.   Night life is as hectic as you want it to be, quiet local tavernas or the more active fun bars such as drunk corner and down under bar.   Kalamaki's neighbour Lagana is 5 mins in a taxi and is very lively Mac D's Kentucky etc you get the drift.   The long sandy beach is 5 mins stroll from the Venus warm shallow water great for the kids, but not much shade!  We have booked again for next May to celabrate my 40th so if your about come and have a drink with  us.   If you decide to visit Kalamaki have a great time and let us know what you think.   Thanks Nick and team for this year see you next May.   Roy, Kirsty, Jonathan and Lauren. 

Janet B          10/10

Just arrived back from celebrating the wedding of Paul and Diane in Kalamaki and what an excellent time we had. 

 
The Hotel Venus was a good find by Diane and Paul and the hospitality and facilities were fantastic.  Everything about the hotel was excellent, the staff, the food, the cleanliness, the location, the price, the service etc etc.
 
Hope to be back next year

We are now back at home and i am missing the hotel already, i keep looking at the time and saying to myself "this time last night i was sitting at the bar talking to Donna, Danny and Nick"  And as usual we enjoyed our stay, had a room with a veiw over the sea and the mountains which was lovely, and thank god for the air con otherwise we would have melted.  Thank you so much for looking after us again, and you know that you will see me next year no matter what. Hope the rest of the season goes well for you Nick. Have a good Birthday Donna.

We went 20th June - 4th July.  Our first stay there but definitely not our last.  Last year we stayed at the Marelen, which was good, but loaded with kids, which isn't a  bad thing.  At the Venus, the first few days, i felt a few of the guests were a bit off with us, maybe because we had 3 young(ish) children, i don't know.  But anyways, the hotel was gorgeous, the staff were all so happy and friendly, and i have to give a BIG thankyou to Nick  for returning back to the airport with my daughters hand luggage bag after she left it in the car.

The pool was ideal as it's not overly deep which we had last year, and therefore the kids had more confidence in there.  The family suite was just the ticket, lovely decor, and a good size for all of us.  The food at the snackbar was lovely too, as we sampled everyday!
What more can i say, a wonderful place, which we will visit again someday soon i hope.

We've just returned from a 2 week stay at the Venus and we thoroughly enjoyed it, as usual. I've attached a few pictures showing the revamped bar and dining area and the double act behind the bar. See you again soon.

Just returned from another brilliant stay.  There was nothing about our stay that wasn't 100% good.  The refurbishment has been very well done.  The food in the pool bar was really good and apart from the days we had the car we tended to eat lunch there most days.  We enjoyed drinks on the terrace although the airconditioned lounge was a blessing during the really hot nights

Everyone who works at this hotel puts the guests first and they always have a smile on their faces even though they must have been melting at times last week.
 
This is our favourite place in the sun and we have  already booked again for next June

Just returned from a week stay at the Hotel Venus and I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The staff, facilities and location are excellent and deserves more than it's three star rating . When we arrived, we were told that our room had been upgraded to a one-bedroom apartment with it's own patio and garden area complete with outside shower and sun-lounges. They even threw in the rent of the fridge and safety-deposit box for free (50 euro) as they thought they were troubling us  !! This is the second year we have stayed in Kalamaki and the Hotel Venus is a fantastic place to stay and enjoy the beautiful island of Zante. Hopefully we will visit again soon and would not hesitate using this hotel and recommending it to friends

Frances K          10/10

STAYED AT THE VENUS JUNE 07 SECOND YEAR STAYING THERE. VERY CLEAN HOTEL, HAD A MAKE-OVER THIS YEAR IN THE RECEPTION/BAR AREA'S REALLY GOOD JOB.

VERY FRIENDLY STAFF, MAID SERVICE , VERY NICE DRINKS AT THE BAR TRY A JELLY BEAN WHEN YOU'RE THERE ASK DONNA WHAT IT IS VERY NICE.
 
GOOD FOOD IN THE SNACK BAR, VERY CLEAN POOL.
 
WOULD MOST DEFINETLY RECOMMEND THE VENUS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY STAY IN KALIMAKI.
 
ON A SAD NOTE LAGANAS HAS NOW GONE VERY DISCO, SO IF YOUR INTO DISCO BARS AND A PIZZA HUT & KFC (NO JOKE) THEN CHOOSE LAGANAS

Andy W          8/10

Stayed at vanessa begining June for 2wks staff were not unfriendly but not quite as outgoing as we have become accustomed.Dannielle was fantastic behind the bar making up lovely shakes for the kids and having our bottles ready at night.Rooms very clean and shower was fantastic really powerful.Overall a good place to stay.

Martine M

Now back from a relaxing stay at the hotel, was great seeing you all again, the hotel looks great now after all the work (not that there was anything wrong with it in the first place) will be back on the 5th of July see you all again.

The Hotel Venus is the best place to stay in Kalamaki.  The family suites are excellent and the staff couldn't do enough for you.  There were 8 of us staying and you can imagine the problems that causes, but nobody seemed to mind the noise, the arguements and the laughter, lots of laughter, we had there.  We ate at the Artimis and would recommed it, try the Chicken Grand Mariner - excellent.  We also would recommed the Mermaid resturant too.
 
It is easy to book direct with the Hotel Venus and the hotel minibus to/from airport is a lifesaver and all part of the service (as is the air con) when you go direct.

Louise L           

This is a fabulous hotel.  The staff are really friendly and can't do enough to help you.  The rooms are immaculate and the linen and towels are changed daily.  I've already booked to go back in June 07.

I would also like to say a big hello to Alan Berry who we met at the hotel and in "Hera".  Hope you had a great time and I've said a big hello to Splott for you.  Lou

Martine M           

Aaaaahhhhhhhh, i'm back home now, its cold and very windy. Once again thank you so much for yet another great holiday, i booked direct this time and will definately be doing it again. always clean, always friendly, and always wanting the best for you.

I wish you all a great winter (i know it will be busy, but it will be worth it), Sprios i hope you enjoy the army and keep in touch, Donna we will have to have another night out next year, Nick and the rest of the family and staff, thank you again for making us feel so welcome.  You know that you can always come visit us here in England if you need a break, you will be more than welcome.

 

Helen            

First visit to Venus and found it to be everything you'd ever want on your holiday........

The rooms were cleaned every day; pool area spacious and clean; staff excellent.
 
Would recommend

Lyn B           

Until I went to the Venus, I never imagined that I would ever want to keep returning to the same Hotel...now when we book our holidays each year, this is the first one we book and everything else has to be fitted around it...this year we even came twice....there are many many things to love about the place, but if you asked me to name one reason why I keep coming back....it would have to be the people ,so a big round of applause to you all

Many thanks for another wonderful holiday, and see you all next year!

Carol P           

Just returned from our second visit of the season and had a brilliant time.  This hotel offers it all, great hospitatlity, spotless rooms and truly brilliant staff who have time for everyone.

Paul A           

Booked direct through the venus club scheme, best Hol on zante yet. Hotel, location, staff all spot on. Going twice next year.

Diane F           

First time at the Venus but really enjoyed it.  Booked direct on the internet.  Very friendly staff.  Rooms basic but cleaned every day with clean towels daily also.  We have booked to go back next June already and will probably go in September 2007 also.  Would recommend.

Carol W           

This is the second holiday we have had at the Venus and it was excellent. The hotel is in a great position, the pool area is lovely and the staff couldn't be friendlier Hope to come back again in the not too distant future

Just returned from 2 weeks at The Venus what a great time the whole staff were always smiling and friendly.

Enjoyed the Greek night and drinking Donna and Spiros cocktails.All in all a wonderful holiday thanks again

Love Terry Jan and Ally

Thanks to all at the Venus. Once again, everything was just perfect - can't imagine staying anywhere else.

Daniel thinks he is now Kalamaki pool champion - so can't wait to come back.
 
Met some really great people this time round - had such a laugh at bar at end of evening - thanks Donna - you are a star.
 
Looking forward to next time already.
 
Good luck for the rest of the season and to Spiros for his army exploits - can't wait to hear the stories from that experience!
 
Love to everyone. xx

Beth H           

  got back from hoilday yesterday!! it was a beautiful hotel very clean and the staff were very friendly and more than happy to help!! booking direct was defintaly the best option as you save so much more money and the hotel gains more from it!! the transfer from the airport was good as nick was there to meet us!

if we were to go back to zante  me and my boyfriend would choose the venus without a doubt!! and a great big thankyou to our cleaner we dont know her name but she did a fantastic job every day and always had a smile on her face! so many thanks to her x

Paul W           

 We came back from 2 weeks at the Venus on Monday 14th August, we were very impressed with the hotel as well as all the staff and would not hesitate to go back to the venus again. I will be booking direct with the hotel next time as you can make good savings.

Paul S           

Thanks Nick.

Second time we've been to the Venus and we will be back again.  This tme booked direct with Nick and got so much more for our money.  We chose our rooms and, as expected they were exactly as requested including air con, fridge, safe etc.
 
Nick picked us up personally from the airport and also took us back at the end of our stay.  Spiros is a top man as always and Donna, who we met for the first time is class.
 
Thanks to all the staff for a truly wonderful holiday and special thanks to Nick for providing the personal touch.  Hopefully we'll see you all next year.
Take Care and enjoy the rest ot the season. 
 
Paul, Lynn, Laura, Colin, Irene, Jade.

Richard C           

Just returned from two wonderful weeks at the Venus, the Staff is so friendly and will go out of their way to make sure you have an excellent holiday. The room is above standard for rooms in Greece, and if you book direct you get Air-con, Fridge & Safe thrown in at no extra charge!!

Will be returning next year

Martine M

We have just returned from another brilliant stay at the Venus. Everyone at the hotel give 100% to ensure everyone has a great stay and its to their credit that people return time after time.  Nothing is ever too much trouble and you are always greeted with a huge smile. 

Our holidays are precious and very important to us and staying here makes it so special  We are already looking forward to returning in September.

What can you say about the Venus that has not been said before, we have just got back from what can only be described as the perfect holiday!
 
From the moment we walked through from the arrivals hall, and saw Nicks smiling face waiting to greet us, we knew we were in for a wonderful time , I can only say we were not disappointed.
 
Everything 1st class, all the staff work so hard to ensure you have  such a good time, and each and every one of them does it with a huge smile on their face, right through from breakfast, till the early hours of the morning,!!.
 
I  consider my holidays to be very very important and precious to me and my family, therefore I cannot pay this hotel a bigger compliment,than to say, this year we will be visiting twice, and will be back again for two weeks in September...needless to say we are counting down the days!

Bernardine M           

Stayed at venus beginning of june.had great time.returning 7th july with daughter so will be even better.have been coming to kalamaki since 1997 -about 24 times.

Frank B           

stayed at the Venus for two weeks in september 2005 , and had a wonderful time there, enjojed every second of it.

the plumbing in the bedroom left a lot to be desired, because every time we had a shower, the bedroom flooded.
next time we will be booking direct over the internet, it will be about three hundred pound cheaper, and will include free fridge, aircon,and safe, we will also be collected from the airport by the hotel staff.
this hotel is highly recomended, and can't wait to return.

Wayne B           

Just returned from our 2nd visit this year,this time for our wedding and once again absolutely superb service,everybody was so friendly to us and the chocolate cake in our room was a nice touch.Thanks to everybody for a truly wonderful holiday,see you all in June 2006

Tip: Book direct with Nick and save a fortune - very quick and easy

Carol P           

Our second visit this year and once again it was excellent.  This hotel goes from strength to strengh and the number of returning guests endorses the quality of service everyone receives.  The whole team are very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful.   We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Third visit to this wonderful hotel, everyone made us feel so welcome, did not want to come home. Now counting the days til we come back in June 2006.The amount of old friends that we meet  there every year alone, speaks volumes about this hotel...you don't keep going back if things aren't just a little bit special.
 
And this hotel is special, thanks guys for a wonderful holiday

Sue C           

click to enlargeclick to enlargeclick to enlarge a big thank you to nick and family for making our return visit just like coming home. this hotel just gets better and better - everyone involved in the running of the venus deserves a massive thank you as nothing is too much trouble.

 
an especially big hello to donna - who made our nights just one big laugh. will have to return year after year just to keep up with the gossip!!
 
met some lovely people who stayed in july - some very good nightcaps were enjoyed at the bar by all.
 
can't wait for next year when mick will be back from iraq and straining at the leash to make up for what he's missed this year. sent him all the photos and know he is gutted not to have been there. but many a drink was had in wishing him well!!!
 
good luck spiros - sorry we won't see you next year but hurry back so we can tease you about the girls!!
 
 lots of tears cos we've come home but reserve a bar stool for me for next year xxxx

Alan B           

only seven weeks to go before we return to this delightful hotel for the third time !! We have never been able to fault it in anyway, you are always made so welcome, we can't wait to come back.

So confident are we that we will enjoy it, we have already booked to go back next June,the hotel is very well placed , for the beach and the bars and restaurants, has a great pool, good rooms and lovely gardens, but what really makes it special is nick and all his team, if anybody is thinking of going we suggest that you book direct with nick, and save some money, and get extras that you have to pay for with the tour companys, e.g safety deposit box air conditioning etc.He makes this very easy for you ! roll on September!

one of our favourite places.very friendly people here.we feel like members of the family.everyone looks after us.Nick,George.Spiro and not forgetting Donna,(how could you forget Donna)she kept us amused most nights.

Harry P           

Great hotel friendly family run place. Its in the perfect location with everything only five mins away.Great service and hospitality from Donna behind the bar, cleaners are very polite and dont come in when you are in bed as in spain!! Make sure you book direct and get yourself a flight and taxi to save three hundred pounds on two weeks for two (i am not joking, Thompsons charge £300 for a friendly rep that says hello when you get there? no thanks ill keep my three hundred to spend when i get there!)Booking couldnt be easier, flights from £100 each, bargain.Many thanks to Nick and family. cu soon.

Chris C           

used the pool bar owing to not having one at my flat but very nice pool and bar, sunbeds got towelled up by greedy English who then went to the beach but alwasy enough, very impressed!

Sue C           

Got back about 3 weeks ago and still depressed. This hotel was brilliant. Donna and Spiro brilliant in bar - sex on kalamaki to die for!!! And the sambucca. Rooms kept clean and everyone really friendly. Pool great - plenty of beds - though they fill up quite quick. Short walk to sea, and shops and tavernas galore. No where is far in Kalamaki and its not exactly a chore having to walk a bit. Will definitely stay here again so get the drinks ready Donna!!

Sue, Mick and Daniel

Lisa P           

Just returned from a fantastic 2 weeks at the Venus. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, everyone was so friendly and helpful and the maids kept the rooms really clean every day.The bingo, karaoke and greek nights were all brilliant. Thanks to Spiro for showing my two nieces a bit of Laganas and thanks to Donna for always having our cocktails ready! Aircraft noise not a problem at all as said in some brochures. Five minutes stroll to main strip, had meals at different restaurants every night and never had a bad meal! Try Ruby for chinese & Indian (by Cave Bar) and Soda+ and The Venue for drinks and you can't beat Mermaids for breakfast. Smugglers Cove a must and make sure you see sunset at Kampi.
Book it now!!!!!!

Yiannis M           

WELL DONE NICKO AND STAFF,A VERY CLEAN FRIENDLY HOTEL YOU CAN COME AND GO AS YOU WISH OR JUST LAZE AROUND HOTEL AT YOUR OWN LEISURE.A VERY GOOD BREAKFAST,SELF SERVICE ,IS SERVED EVERY MORNING BY HARD WORKING STAFF WHO MAKE SURE THERE IS PLENTY OF FOOD FOR ALL.THE BAR STAFF SPIROS ANE DENNY ARE AT HAND TO PROVIDE YOU A BEER OR COCKTAIL,BEFORE YOU GO OUT AT NIGHT OR IF YOU JUST WANT TO RELAX AND STAY IN.THE COCKTAILS ARE JUST 2.5 EUROS AT THE HAPPY HOURS 7 TO 10PM WELL WORTH IT.IF YOU NEED ANYTHING JUST GO TO THE RECEPTION AND THEY WILL GLADLY ASSIST YOU.MATT THE REP WAS ALWAYS HERE TO OFFER ADVICE AND HELP TO ALL,SO WELL DONE TO MATT TOO.WOULD RECOMEND THIS HOTEL.

Sue C

train there are lots of bars/resturants at drunken corner ony five mins walk away from venus then more besides the further you go. I would recommend a taxi to kalimaki centre and take the free ride up to cave bar which is what it says but has great veiws of kalamaki and the bay. sue.

M            

Train - to answer your question, on the main road there is a wide selection of bars, but it depends on what you are into?

Train

i am coming to the venus on the 30th of july, i would like to know what kind of bars/clubs are in easy reach of the hotel, thanks train

Matthew B           

Stayed at the Venus last year and this and love it!!
To answer your queries Geraint the rooms at the Venus do not come with fridges or air-con unless you book directly with the Venus. They are however available at an extra cost.
We hired a fridge for 2 weeks and it cost 45 euros.
We didn't hire air-con, but I think it was 75 euros for 2 weeks.
The Venus no longer allow fans to be used in their rooms, due to a fire last season.
For a nice romantic evening for your friends, tell them to go to Petrino (especially if they like seafood!) or Mikaelos for food and then up to the Cave Bar for drinks.

Geraint L

Hi there,
I will be going to the Venus hotel on 26th july for two weeks,Can someone tell me if there is a fridge in each room if not how much r they to hire as well as the air con.
Also my friends that r comming with me it is thier 1st wedding anniversary on the first night there, where will be the best place for them to go for a romantic evening together.
Cheers hope to see u all there
Geraint

My family and I took a short break here for four days and it was one of the best Greek Hotels we had ever been to. The food served in the snack bar was excellent and the staff were not only multinational but polite and very welcoming. The manaagement were very accomodating when we asked if we could eat breakfast in our room as our 2 year old was a little too boisterous early in the morning. Well, this is what you would expect from loyal Panathanikos supporters! Excellent location, room, faclities & pool. Would recommed to anyone and can't wait to back again.

Carol P           

This is a great place to stay which is reflected in the number of people returning. Everyone works really hard to ensure your holiday is a success.

It has definitely become our number one choice.

Claire L           

just retured from 2 weeks here. this is a fantastic hotel very modern, clean and friendly. the pool area is a great place to relax. i would recommend this hotel to all.

Marc D           

Were there in august 2002.Had a cracking time in kalamaki and the hotel was tops. My girlfriend and i are revisting again for the first 2 weeks in july, returning to the hotel venus and looking forward to drinking lots in the rose and crown. Would definately recommend it to anyone. Not too noisy considering it was summer holidays.

Carol P           

Have a look at the venus website for the direct booking prices - we always travel indpendantly although the prices of flights are not that cheap but overall its less than a package - just needs a bit of organising. Taxis from the airport are reasonable as its only 10 minutes or so away. The hotel is excellent - can't fault it. The hotel opposite can be a bit noisy but we have never found it unbearable. Looking forward to going there again in 3 weeks time.

Lil G

hello i was wondering if someone could tell me if the venus hotel is suitable for adults. my boyfriend and i are going in the first couple of weeks in july for my birthday and i wanted somewhere a bit mature. i've heard that the hotel opposite can get a bit noisy is this a real problem? also i've noticed that the venus can e quite expensive should i leave it a few weeks to book, would the prices go down, i'm a poor student need to economise!! cheers

Carol T           

I have just returned from a week at the Venus Hotel. It is the first time I've holidayed alone and I must say that I picked the perfect hotel. It's a family run hotel and all the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are great, quite spacious and spotlessly clean (cleaned daily). I had a great view from my balcony overlooking the hills/mountains/side road. The breakfast is typically Greek and I really enjoyed it. The pool area is great with the snack bar serving tasty snacks. The mattresses for the sunbeds are €1 extra per day, which does make a big difference to your comfort! As it was the first week of the summer season it was fairly quiet in most places and there was no entertainment in the hotel apart from bingo one night. The entertainment was due to start the 2nd week. The weather was dodgy (one day of rain, another of gail force winds, another of completely grey clouds!)but when the sun came out it was brilliant, around 21 degrees. Not expensive in the resort generally, Zakynthos town excellent for shopping. Would definitely go back to this hotel but not early May!
