"Little Dickie Day"...
Definately the best day of our 2 weeks on the Island. Lee (the goat) AKA Lily Savage was an excellent driver, although probably quite mad.
The female guide (sorry, still can't remember your name!) was also very good, and obviously knows a huge amount about Zakynthos.
The day was an absolute scorcher, our seven year old commenting she felt like "melted cheese". However, it was great to be travelling in an open topped vehicle which cooled us down, as did the freezing water at the Sulphur beach (hence the code name for the day).
The only minor downside of this trip was the meal, which was expensive and not very nice. The restaurant also tried to overcharge us. (It should be noted this is not a reflection on Zakfari itself).
This trip is an absolute must, and was worth every euro.
Tried it once. That was enough. Food was very average, and the service very poor, even though we ate early to avoid the "rush".
Better than Mermaids. Waiter did however poor a glass of brandy over our seven year old. No real apology, I think the waiter was more concerned about getting the boot from the boss.
Food was OK (if you happen to like chips and frozen veg).
Nice hotel. Very clean and staff friendly. Special mention for Janine, the English receptionist. We had a few problems with some tours we booked independantly, which she sorted out for us, although not anything to do with the hotel.
Breakfast is a bit repetitive (not baked beans again!), but we are informed by people from other hotels it was good in comparison.
Pool bar food and service is good.
Swimming pool was always clean, but you can only eat/ drink items purchased from the Pool bar. If they catch consuming your own stuff, they will charge you for the use of the sunbed.
Location is ideal for beach (about 10 mins on foot), and easy walking distance of the restaurants/ bars etc.
Rooms have a large ceiling fan, which is just about enough to make the nights bearable.
All in all, a pleasant stay, and would be happy to recommend it to others.
Nice food, but expensive.
Accidentally caught a look at the kitchens... they were very dirty.
Great meal, good service, but a bit on the dear side.
Happy to accomodate kids (ours loved it).
Not the best food, but we found it to be one of the cheapest places to eat.
