The accomodation itself was nice, spacious, good pool, fairly close to beach and town. The staff were awful. They were unfriendly to the point of being rude. After such good welcomes in previous holidays to the greek isles, we were shocked. Sandy only spoke the day we arrived and after that spent all day every day smoking and talking on the phone and never looked up to even smile. Spiros at the bar assumed everyone wanted the football on full blast 24/7, wandered around a lot and not much else and his partner Tina was like a split personality, fine one minute but biting your head off the next. It was not a pleasant place to be and we were made to feel a nuisance at all times so we took to spending our time over the road at Dino,s where we all felt more than welcome and he provided us with a free meal on our last night. We all wished we had stayed there! We were cross examined by Spiros and Tina every time we left as to where we were going. The cleaning was sporadic but just about adequate. It would be fine another year if the staff were replaced! One last thing,the Libra rep Russell was a complete waste of space in fact the whole company proved to be useless when we needed them in a crisis. Go to Zakynthos but avoid the hospital and the Sandy Maria accomodation! We were there for the last week in August and the first in September.
Have never had any reason to be so negative after previous holidays to greece, we have always had a fantastic time and been made to feel more than welcome. Can only speak as we found and we found all the staff here rude and unwelcoming. The accomodation itself would be lovely with a complete staff overhaul. Tina and Spiros moaned the whole time that their profits were down as everyone was going elsewhere. Perhaps they should try asking themselves why. Go to Tsilivi but stay at Dino's instead where you will be welcomed and looked after like seems to be the norm in greece, except for at Sandy Maria it seems! Interesting to see what happens there next year.
We were actually staying at the Sandy Maria over the road but wished we had stayed at Dino's. We ended up spending all our time here, Dino and his family are lovely people and can't do enough for you. It's people like them who make your holiday extra special. Libra would be MAD not to accept bookings for next year at Dino's. I wouldn't go back to the Sandy Maria appartments if it was offered for free. I could not fault Dino's in any way. Go and have a fantastic holiday.
