Cavo Doro Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Tracy C           

we have just returned from 2 weeks at the cavo doro. i have to say that it was a bit dissappointing. the rooms were very basic, with little more than beds and a wardrobe. we were told that the hotel was good for kids and although the bar staff were brill with them, there was nothing in the way of entertainment. the pool was far too deep for the kids,  my oldest is 8, and could barely keep her head above water.so the younger two couldnt even go in the water without somebody carrying them. they have computer games in the reception area, but again not suitable for young children. i would say that the cavo doro is not ideal for people with children under 12. on the whole the hotel is clean but very basic, and i would not return while my children are so small.

Kalamaki Resort - (Resorts in Zante)

just returned from 2 weeks at kalamaki, and are very dissappointed. the night life was non existent, unless you class karaoke and bingo as entertainment. there was only one bar on the resort that we enjoyed visiting called the safari bar, they held a halloween party just before we left and the kids were always well looked after there, with a good selection of toys always readily available.

the resort was not very clean many of the bins spilling over into the road. i was terrified whilst walking out with the children as there are very little pavements, and the locals drive like maniacs.
for anyone going to kalamaki i would strongly recommend that you avoid bookin trips with SPRING TOURS they took 70 euros for a island tour, and didnt bother turning up, when we returned to the shop, there were about 16 other people who they had also ripped off, none of us got our money back.
kalamaki is ideal for couples who like to do nothing but lay by the pool all day, but i would def not reccomend it to anyone with young children, we had an earthquake whilst there, and although the locals said it was the biggest in 8 yrs, this was no comfort to our 3 kids, who screamed every time there was an aftershock (and there were plenty)
personally, we would never return
