Costas Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Em R           

Hi there,

My boyfriend and I are going to the Costas Apartments for a week's holiday from 23 June 2006. After reading all of the comments that past guests have kindly provided, I have to say that I'm more excited about my holiday now than ever before .
 
I look forward to meeting the staff and guests of the hotel and continue the tradition of having a great holiday

Costas Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Hi Everyone at Costas (Adriana, Costas, Maria, Takis, Dennis, George, Francesca, Lorenzo),

Me and my boyfriend Ryan had a fabulous week at Costas. As recommended by others, you must attend the Greek night, it's fun for everytone. Also, try Adriana's sunday lunch - superb!!
 
The hotel was fantastic and we can't say enough for all of the family and staff that work there. They are worth their weight in gold, they all work sooo hard to make sure you have a special holiday and I would definitely recommend the hotel and resort to anyone who will listen.
 
We will return to Kalamaki one day and I hope that the Costas Apartments is still patrying away with its guests.
 
A BIG THANKYOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE OUR HOLIDAY SO MEMORABLE  .
 
Our only regret is that we stayed for one week instead of two
 
My love to everyone.

Venus Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Just returned from a week stay at the Hotel Venus and I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The staff, facilities and location are excellent and deserves more than it's three star rating . When we arrived, we were told that our room had been upgraded to a one-bedroom apartment with it's own patio and garden area complete with outside shower and sun-lounges. They even threw in the rent of the fridge and safety-deposit box for free (50 euro) as they thought they were troubling us  !! This is the second year we have stayed in Kalamaki and the Hotel Venus is a fantastic place to stay and enjoy the beautiful island of Zante. Hopefully we will visit again soon and would not hesitate using this hotel and recommending it to friends

We have stayed in Kalamaki for two years in a row and have used Hermes Car Rental both times. Very helpful and friendly staff and the cars are always thoroughly cleaned before you receive them. Would not hesitate to use this company again, the fact that we returned again speaks for itself.

Exotica Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Em R          7/10

This was our fourth stay in Kalamaki and the first at Exotica. The hotel is ideally situated to all the amenities (beach, shops, bars etc) and our room was quite big with good facilities (some you had to pay extra for).

However, as we were there for a ten day holiday, we began to get bored with the breakfast half-way through. There is a choice of greek yoghurt, fruit, ham, cheese, bread/toast, hard/soft boiled eggs, juices and cereals. Granted there is a choice but we began to tire of the monotony of it. In particular the toaster was a pain, go through once and it's barely toasted, put it through a second time and it's practically burnt. In the end we started to go to a cafe at the top of the road to get a bit of variety. It might have helped just to add beans to the menu? But besdies this, the hotel, the facilities, the pool and the staff was great and we couldn't fault it. We're just not sure we'd stay there again. It seems that children enjoy the hotel as it has a good swimming pool and kid's club, so it's worth a considering.
