Me and the family came back from the Sirene last Thursday after having a great holiday (also our first time to Zante) I was a little nervous after reading some of the comments on here so for those who are going and dont know what to expect here are my thoughts: The pool area and grounds of the hotel were kept in brilliant condition, the pool itself was spotless, the rooms are very basic but clean, although not great for cooking in as they have poor appliances, noise wise there is some traffic noise and some barking dogs at times but after a few bottles of mythos you dont notice it. As for places to eat, well your spoiled for choice, for breakfast I would say Lillydots is the best (just after the rainbow) it has an english owners who are very friendly and a good calling point on the way back from town with pool and games for the kids and for other meals I would say mermaids where they do kids meals for less than 1 euro and they`re big enough for adults to eat, however we did try other places and all were great. On the side of caution it is a fair walk into town and  beech along a fairly busy road so make sure you keep to the sides as cars, buses and bikes go past at fairly high speeds.

Hi Lisa, a torch would be usefull, much of the road has adequate light but there are a few darker areas and the road does have a ditch at the side of it so if you`ve got one I would take it. Hope you have a great holiday I wish I was just going again.

It seems that towards the end of season this hotel starts to get poor reviews, perhaps its just due to wear and tear through the season and the staff tiring, have to say when we went in May we enjoyed it very much and so did everyone else there at the same time, O.K it`s not the ritz but it was certainly value for money and I would stay there again. On another note has anybody been to lillydots? How are Mick and Sandra doing they were a great family and just starting out,  hope they are doing well, was a bit quiet when we were there but did a cracking breakfast and were great with the kids, would like to know how they,re doing.

Hi Emma, me and the family were there in May and Mick and Sandra were just starting out at Lillydots, they were a lovely family but seemed to be struggling for custom a little, just hope they do well they deserve to, they did a cracking breakfast and were great with the young one. How did they say they`d done this year? hope they did well.
