Kalamaki Beach Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Louise           8/10

hi, we stayed there last year.

positives:
good location
beach very close
large rooms
nice views from balcony
nice tarverna on the front
good pool
lots of sunbeds
air con and fridge in room, not sure if you have to pay for them
good pool bar and staff
 
negatives:
bathroom floods when getting shower, not to much of a problem
maid : a few clothes left on chair by us she refused to clean our room because of this, therefore we had dirty towels etc. before she refused to clean our room she left big clumps of black hair on our bed ( not ours were blonde)
we couldnt open our door without diffaculty, had to get drunken man from behind reception to open it for us.
___________________
 
a few people have mentioned aircraft noise, however i imagine were ever you stay in kalamaki you will hear noise. didnt bother us as they dont run at night infact its quite fun watching them from round the pool.
 
other than a few nagatives had a really good time and would definatly come back again.

Blue Caves and Shipwreck Cruise - (Zante Excursions)

Louise

hi, we did the boat trip around zante and we can honestly say we would never do it again.

positives:
chance to swim in the clear waters
something different than other days
interesting to see the island
 
negatives:
big que to get on the boat
nowhere to sit down, we were curled up on the floor inside of the boat
drinks and food so expensive.
boat was rather smelly
couldnt get off at the shipwreck due to the sea conditions ( guess not boats fault)
 
_______________
 
would have been a better out if boat wasnt overcrowded, if you could sit on the deck in the sun and view everyhting you wanted to see. we ouldnt do it again, but if your looking for somehting to do and willing to take risk of not getting seat outside would recommend it.

Zakynthos Airport - (Places to Visit in Zante)

Louise           6/10

The airport isnt great, but at the end of the day its only an airport and you only spend a few hours there. Luggage can take a while, and not that many seats to sit on whiie your waiting. Also when your fly bakc to uk you ahve to que outside of the airport which can take a while, so if in the day take lots of water etc.

Star (Caretta) Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Louise

Were staying here on the 8th of August to the 21st of August. Anybody out here at the same time.

We were quite worried at the thought of staying outside of laganas as this seems to be were all the nightlife takes place as we are older teens now. Has anybody else stayed in kalamaki and just gone into laganas on a night?
