By far the best English Breakfast and roast dinner in Kalamaki (if not the whole of Zakynthos). Really friendly service (by Darren and Wendy), willing to cook anything as long as they have the ingredients, proper English food freshly cooked. When we return we will be there for breakfast and Sunday dinner again. Also do a fantastic picnic in a cool bag to take out (great to take to the airport on the way home). Also very good for vegetarian food (veggie roast dinner and veggie breakfast). Little daughter loved the food (especially the melon slices after her frosties!!). Very highly recommended, Can't stress enough how much better than the rest these guys are!
The lighthouse was recommended to us by friends who have been going there for years. Went for breakfast as were very disappointed. Horrid tinned mushrooms (not like the frsh ones along the road at Deppy's), greasy bacon, no hash browns - instead we were given bits of fried potato (like having mini roast potatoes on your breakfast). Sorry to say that we didn't enjoy it and wont be going back - not sure what people on this site are going on about saying it was excellent, frankly it isn't.
Had a great time yet again!! Third visit and the boys are still larging it. The bar staff are always full of life and very friendly and the drinks they prepare are delicious. Thanks again guys. See you next year.
We have stayed in Cavo d'oro twice now and I have to say that this year it was nowhere near as nice. When we went 3 years ago we were in the block right at the back of the complex with a lovely big balcony to ourselves which overlooked the bay. This year we were in an appartment just behind the reception area and the reception bar, we had a tiny balcony to share with next door and the noise level was awful. On three occasions we had to go down and complain about the noise at 2:30 am because our 5 year old daughter was trying to sleep. The pool is quite nice but not big enough for the hotel (most of the sunbeds were full and there was no chance of a sunshade which we really needed for the little one). The breakfasts were very poor (bread roll and cheese, cornflakes and thats about your lot). We went over the road to Deppy's every morning. We'll be going back to Kalamaki because we love the place but we wont be staying in Cavo D'oro again.
We really enjoyed our afternoons/evenings in Cactus Claudes. Really friendly welcome by Dawn and Gaz, great live music by Sidshow Bob and Double Measures, brill quizzes (even if they did frustrate the hell out of us) and really nice atmosphere - we made lots of friends. The drinks are delicious and very reasonably priced. See you next year !!
