Costas Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)
Karen J 
Hi all,
We got back from Costas on Monday after a great week. The staff were great and helped us to have a wonderful holiday. We had the huge balcony which was lovely. Anyone planning on visiting Costas has nothing to worry about (other than the airport coming home - terrible!) The food was always good and service quick. Pool was fab, cocktails very nice and Takis was good at his tom cruise style showing off!!! Dennis always seemed to be working really hard - thanks. Hi to Takis, Dennis, Francesca, Stephanie and George. Hope you have a great season. Hope to see you same time next year.Thanks again

After reading all the comments about the lovely beach I have to say I was disappointed. The sand was pretty dark and you have to pay to use the sunbeds. Perhaps I've been spoilt with the golden sands and free facilities in Goa but Kalamaki beach just didn't do it for me. We prefered to stay by the pool at our appartment instead which was clean and had excellent bar service!
Zakynthos Airport - (Places to Visit in Zante)

The airport itself was ok if a little small!! We didn't actually spend much time inside as we were waiting in a queue outside for over 2 hours!! By the time we had checked in and paid a quick stop at the duty free shop it was time to board the flight.
The reps did their best and did keep us informed of what was happening and the check in was straight forward enough after the queues had passed. Despite being more or less the last to check in my daughter and I were still seated together and managed to have a spare seat next to us so we could spread out.
We were warned by the rep in resort to take any food or drink we might want with us as it was expensive at the airport, not that we had time to find out anyway.
These problems should be resolved when they open the new building and hopefully it will be more straightforward next year. I do think that the airport info should be included in the brochures and holiday details though, I may have thought twice if I'd known we'd have to stand outside so long as my daughter has ME and it was hard for her.
On the whole terrible airport but the reps do their best and that's all you can really ask for.
