My good friends Clare and Dave stayed here in 2003 and loved it. By the way the girl on the photo in the bikini with the porno pose is hot...

Hi Tony,I stopped there last year and had a great time,they are all different age groups who stop there, the rooms are really lovely and the swimming pool is too.

Hi, i am going with my girlfriend in the last week of August of this year (2005). i would just like to ask a question that hasnt been mentioned already.

Whats the average age of the people in this hotel? We are both 20 so if anyone could give us a rough indication of how are holiday will be, please let me know. We are not "every night party goers" but glad to have the option not far away.

Most people have had a great holiday in this hotel according to this page so hopefully it will be a great holiday!

We have been going to this hotel for approx 9 years when it was half wot it is now and the staff and management have always been exceptionally friendly and helpful! Many are the original staff! We have been going to Zante - Laganas for about 15 years firstly as single young girls, then with boyfriends, and now we happily take our kids there!! Love the place with a passion - loads of fab memories and good times! The kids adore it as much as we do. You can have it all....peace, quiet and relaxation - then mad, nights just minutes away - u choose! Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE STAYED AT THE POSEIDON IN OCTOBER 2004 AND WE HAD THE MOST RELAXING HOLIDAY POSSIBLE,THE HOTEL & THE STAFF WERE HELPFUL AND ALWAYS HAD A SMILE FOR YOU.THE SERVICE WAS EXELENT AND THE LOCAL BARS & RESTURANTS WERE SECOND TO NONE,IN FACT WE LOVED IT SO MUCH AS SOON AS WE GOT BACK TO ENGLAND WE BOOKED FOR TWO WEEKS IN 2005. AND WE SHALL PROBABLY BOOK FOR 2006 WHEN WE GET BACK AGAIN.
ALL I CAN SAY IS WE LOVED IT.. TOP MARKS TO THE POSEIDON...

Hotel was clean and the staff helpful. Good location next to beach.
Easy walking to lots of bars and shops.
Only critism of Hotel is the charge for the beds on the beach and air conditioning.
Entertainment in hotel was non existent.
We stayed in Laganas in early October when it was quite quiet and weather was a bit mixed.
Fly out on Fridays which is the quietest day if possible.
Best resturant the Greek Islands situated 400 yards to the right on the beach. Great food and friendly staff and good value.

We stayed at this hotel 2 yrs in a row just got back from zante a couple of days ago n the hotel was lovely, didnt seem to be many english ppl in it like but i didnt really spend much time ere coz the beach is only bout a 2 min walk but wud defs recommend it (Y)

me and my m8 are 19 and we will be there from the 19th july to 2nd august james so not to worry lol!!! we know how to party !! heehee

Hi, i was just wondering whether there is anyone in there late teens
early twentys staying at this hotel from the 15th jul04 - 29th jul04.
At the moment from what i've gathered it sounds like a family hotel
and not many party goers!!!!!!!

Hi, stayed at this lovely hotel from 13th May 2004 for a week. It was the perfect location right on the beach with a short walk to the main strip. There are lots of stairs in this hotel so I wouldn't recommend to elderly or disabled. The rooms were very clean with a nice bathroom, they were cleaned every day and the towels were changed once a week. The safe in the room cost 20 euros. I heard you had to pay for a fridge but we didn't. The view was really nice too, make sure you ask for a sea view!!

We actually went in October 2003. sorry!!

This hotel is lovely, with helpful staff and very clean. Right on the quiet end of the beach. Obviously going in October 2004 none of the 18-30 mob were in the resort to spoil it. Went to the Alexander Hotel last year and this is 500% better. Would highly recommend it!

Hi all,

Just got some good news for Summer 04, you can now get to Poseidon with Thomson Holidays. Its in their summer sun brochure and they fly exclusively on Mondays and Fridays when the airport is paradise not like hellish Tuesdays, thursdays and sundays!! Thanks Poseidon, we will now be back

We have just returned from the Poseidon Beach and had a very nice holiday the hotel what can we say that has not been said before only small moan having to pay for fridge and safe from web site it looked to be free of charge but this wood not stop me from going back as we had a fantastic time.

hiya just got bak from zante and stayed in this hotel. The hotel is great very clean! and all brand new pool is great and weather was very hot! we have booked up agen for next year to stay in this hotel again 11th july see ya then luv kate! XxX

Resturant blue waves to the left of the back of the hotel down the beach is good to Have fun!

I am staying at the hotel from the 16th june onwards for two weeks, has any body got any idea what the weather is like then, and how expensive or cheap is Laganas, in the ways of food and drink? Any info would be great thanks.

I couldn't agree more clair the hotel was excellant and the staff were always helpful and polite. The whole island was great except the airport. I was delayed for 22.5 hrs on the way home due to internal flight being stranded on runway for 6 hrs. But it didn't spoil the holiday.

I've just come back from Zante, staying at the Poseidon Hotel. Its fantastic, just been refurbished & is really modern inside. The pool is great & the hotel is right on the beach. The bars, clubs & restaurants are really close by, in easy walking distance. Alos the staff are kind & helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better hotel.

whats the whether like at the mo

Hi folks never been to Zante before looking forward to it. I will be staying at the Hotel from May 1st to the 15th. Looking forward to Sand Sea and ***. Are the beaches clothing optional or are there any beaches near by for naturists? Thanks for any info.
See you all in May

Does any1 know wot this hotels like since the extra rooms have been added and has the building work completely finished?
Wots the weather like the 1st 2 weeks in june?

hey me and my friend have booked two weeks here starting may 11th this year, all the information sounds great but can anyone tell us how hot the weather is at this time! thanks!

i went to the poseidon late sept 2001 the weather was good and all the bars where open but some stated to close in october due to the end of season it started to get a bit colder toward the end of september but it was still warm it was not packed and not empty i would say about half

WE are staying at this hotel in october can anyone tell us what the weather is like at that time of year also are most of the bar's and cafe's still open . cheers .

Stayed in this hotel last year and am going back next year. the people at the hotel are so friendly and the rooms are lovely. We had a room at the bottom and had a balcony with seaview. The hotel is right on the beach and has excellent facilities. Its the best hotel i have ever been to. At night it looks really beautiful as the pool area is lit up, its really nice to lie by the pool at night and look at the stars.

Just returned this week from what was a fantastic holiday with superb accomodation at the Poseidon, very, very clean with excellent pool and cafe/bar I would recommend it to anyone and since returning have cancelled our holiday to Majorca next year to re-book at the Posiedon, it might have been the last two weeks of the season but the sun was blazing every day.

Excellent hotel - really friendly and helpful staff (especially Boso) - right on the beach, just 5minutes walk along the beach to the night life. We have been going to Laganas for seven years now and this is the best accommodation we have had, and despite trying lots of restaurants over the years, none have come up to the standard and quality of the Kontessa run by Franceskos Papandreou (just call him Frankie) - To find the restaurant, walk up the main street from the beach and turn right at Cozy Corner, go to the end of the road (about 100 yards), turn right and follow road for 150 yards until you see Crocs Bar - the Kontessa is next door. Enjoy the best food in Laganas !!

To A Jones. You will have no problems finding peace and quiet in this hotel. Its about a 10 min walk into town so you don't really get any noise at all. There is one bar to the left of the hotel entrance but nearly all the bars music has to go off at 12 o'clock anyway.

My boyfreind and I have booked for tow weeks next year. However I have been looking for pictures/information and exact location on the internet and can not find much. Does anyone know of a good web site?

Hi, I've just booked this hotel for June next year for myself, husband, our two little girls who will be 3 and 1 and my Mum and Dad. I'm starting to get worried that it will be too lively for us!!! Is the hotel in a quiet location so that Mum, Dad and our girls won't be woken by noise?? Is the hotel child friendly too?

Sonja - I booked with JMC its not in the 2003 brochure but you can still book the the hotel through them at Thomas Cook.I went into Thomas Cook and double checked yesterday. Alternitevly you can book with Airtours.

I am planning to go to Zante next summer. My step dad has been in this hotel recently. We cannot seem to find a travel agent that uses this hotel. Could someone please let me know which brochre i can get this hotel from,. Many thanks

Just got back from Laganas 2 days ago and am hoping to book back upbefore the end of the season! This hotel is absolutely fantastic the staff are great and if you're going with JMC the rep is there twice a day for about 2 hours a time if you've got any problems. The pool area is very clean but you've got to be up early if you want a sunbed by the pool! The sunbeds are free by the pool 2euros in the garden and 8 euros on the beach. Its about 10 mins walk along the Kalamaki rd to the nightlife and 5 along the beach. I recommend the Zakfari trip if you're going to do any.

Just got back from laganas. Lovely hotel right on the beach, while we were there we checked out the other hotels & this one is the best. Very clean & tidy. Air con only works during july/aug. short walk to bars/clubs along beach.

go down the strip and then turn left to get there? (past the cherry bay thing?)

Mike - this hotel is on the beach! And you can walk down the beach to the main strip - takes about 5 mins (or 10 in heels, you may not have that problem!)

Its practically on the beach! Go past the pool and down the steps and your on the beach!

Is this hotel near the beach?

Just got back from Zante, and this Hotel was really good. Very clean and the staff were all very good and polite. Rooms cleaned every day and didnt have a complaint about the place. Would recommend this hotel to anyone, as on the way home most people were complaining that the hotel they were in were rubbish. Just prepare yourself for the airport as it is a disgrace and should be shut down and rebuilt!!

Just got back from this hotel. I can honestly say it was a really good choice! A lot of people on the plane on the way home were complaining about their hotels in Laganas but this hotel was very nice. If anyone wants to ask me about it please do not hesitate to contatct me.

Peter - Me and my friends booked this hotel in March with JMC but I am sure there is another company that books for this hotel. I am not sure which one though sorry. You could try calling the hotel directly (don't know the country code), but the telephone no for the hotel is 0695 5182731. Alternatively, try the website http:///www.travel-greece.com/ionian/zakintho/poseidon. You can make a reservation through the website. Hope this helps!

I am so glad to hear that. You see the holiday from hell programmes and just dread it all happening to you! Muffycat can you tell me if the rooms have good views/balconies? Also what was the food like in the hotel?

went to poseidon beach last year was excellent.was told this hotel was being taken out of jmc brochure, is this true, who do we book through now? what type of weather should we expect in october? Has the development opposite the poseidon been finished yet, next to the supermarket, does anyone have phone number for it. thanks very much

Just returned from 2 weeks at the Poseidon (our 5th stay there) It's now better than ever. Since last year they have added an extra floor to the main hotel and built an extension on the side adding about 80 rooms overall. Also all the rooms have been totally refitted and now have fridge/TV/safes. All the rebulding work is now complete and the last few rooms were being fitted out which should be completed within the next few days. The staff are still excellent and very helpful. The hotel was always very good and is now even better

Michelle, Very cheap, however this was when it was Drachma's, but I'm sure it will be the same. Most resurants catered for children and were excellent value. Colin

Colin What did you think the prices were like for eating out drinking etc? Cheers Michelle

Stayed at this Hotel last July/August. Rooms clean and pool area very good. Nice large pool with mini jacquzi with waterfall.All waiters and staff very friendly. You couldn't get much closer to the beach and Driftwood bar is on the left as you walk from the grassed area of the hotel onto the beach itself. This serves nice tasty breakfasts and snacks. The Hotel is in an excellent postion, you can walk along the beach passing the many retaurants and bars to the main road. Alternatively from the front of the hotel you can turn right to the Hawaiaan which is a good starting point (and indeed finishing at it was still open around 3-4am?!!) or left towards the Alexander Hotel then onto the Kalamaki road which eventually brings you to the top of the main road in Laganas. If you need to know any specifics please ask. We were a group of around 12 adults with kids from 8-15 years old and had a great time. There is something for everyone here. Cheers Colin

yeah i will still be there till the 11th July i think it is the 11th!

Thanks Alex that puts me at ease. Going on the 8th July and can't wait!

i meant june 27th. the beach there is nice...gets very hot. it isnt a very wide beach...but big enough and around the area of the poseidon hotel doesnt seem to get that busy...well that the end of june time (last year)

haven't been to the poseidon beach hotel...but i am going this year July 27th. in answer to the question about its location.....i went to lagans last year and stopped about 2 hotels away from the poseidon in the astir palace. the poseidon is close to twon...only about 5 mins along the beach to the main stretch of shops. and the beach is right in front of the hotel!

Is there anyone that has been to this hotel and can tell me whether its close to the town?

I have just got a half price deal to stay here with Lunn Poly, please tell me what the catch is- we go on the 19 May 02!!!!

we have booked to stay at the poseiden hotel in august taking with us 6 teenagers will there be enough to keep them happy for two weeks, any suggestions for places they will love,they all like a dance and a karaoke!!!!! where are the best beaches could you give us any tips.

Booked to go to this hotel in July. Can anyone tell me if its far from the nightlife, and what the beach is like?

A great place with much to do. Lovely local restaurants include Eden, Fatsos(bbq eat all you can for about £5.00!), Friends and Tweetities. We found these places good because they catered well for children. Laganas Town about 20 min. walk by road or 10 mins. by beach. Nice pool with good food served at snack bar. Beach aprox. 100 mtrs walk. Very shallow water so Ideal for small children. We thorougly enjoyed our stay and found the staff to be friendly and on the whole pleasant. We stayed b&b basis and found the breakfast to be basic consisting of bread, ham, cheese, yoghurt, honey, fruit, cereal and hot & cold drinks. As we stayed the last two weeks of the season, things were a little quiet with some places closing for the season. The hotel itself was starting its own rebuilding work, with the planned extention of the hotel by adding more rooms another pool and restaurant facilities which can only really improve the already good standards of this hotel. We had a person who need to use a wheelchair and found access to be a bit tricky due to the amount of steps that needed to be negotiated around the complex. If you are permanetly tied to using a wheelchair, you will find this a problem (unless they plan to overcome this in any modernisation work wich is being carried out).

I really enjoyed it cant wait to go back again next year i recomend it to every one check it out

this is a realy good hotel.I have just come back from my third visit and hope to go again so I think that says it all. And if you like good food then you cant do beter than the Hermion restaurant five minutes from the hotel.

Just got back after having a great time.Close enough to everything, but far enough away to get a good night sleep.Excellent pool bar/ cafe& right on the excellent beach.Went with JMC ,briiliant flights & free kids place for my 13 year old.Going back next year

In response to Al Light.... We went with Airtours, who were ok but we didn't really use their services once we were there. The hotel is to the east of the main resort (about 5- 10 mins walk along the beach)and is right on the beach. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk.

what brochure/tour op is this featured in? be grateful of some info - location on beach etc

Hi, its Matt Barlow, I placed a comment below about the building work and I am now in Zante, and here until the 28th June. As I drove passed the Poseidon Beach Hotel on the way to my hotel I couldn't see any biulding work and as for the road works 50M away I couldn't see that either. Sorry I can't comment on the hotel, I am not staying there

Just got back 2 days ago, and we thought it was great ! Good position right on the beach, nice pool, and about 10 min walk along the beach to the main resort. The hotel was very clean, and the staff very friendly. I was concerned about reports of building work before we went, but there was nthing there. Breakfast was crap (my wife quite liked it !), so most days we went to Mary's for a great cooked breakfast. Paul

stayed there in 99 great hols perfect position(astir hotel pool next door worth a visit)

WE ARE DUE TO GO ON THE 28 JUNE BUT A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EXTENT OF THE BUILDING WORK?CAN ANYONE FILL US IN ON THE PROGRESS OF THE CONSTRUCTION?ALSO ANY CHANCE OF A BACON SARNIE FOR BREAKIE?OR IS IT JUST BREAD AND JAM?

what brochure/company did you book with for summer 2001

Clair, I suspect we are some of the older folks you mentioned.We have now stayed there 4 times and have just booked again for next year. The standards are very high with the owner/manager always around and available. The breakfast is more geared for the continental europeans than for the Brits
