We have visited Kalamaki three times and have returned to the Zakanoh each time due to the good food. However we have always found the service to be poor, as if the staff know how good their restaurant is. On our last visit, we sat in the garden but when it started to rain we asked to be moved inside. Our request was ignored without any explanation.
We have stayed here twice over three visits to Zante, the first before the hotel was expanded considerably and a pool added. We find this hotel excellent. The family who run it are very helpful and friendly and the location is excellent. We will most definately return in the future.
We visited Mikaelos twice over our two week stay. The first was very enjoyable, the food being excellent. However, when we returned, it was very busy and the waiters rushed us into finishing our meal in order to free the table. We were rushed so much so that the waiter who seemed to be the Head Waiter, started to lay the cutlery for the next diners before we had even ordered dessert!!
