Dados (Jimmys) Hotel - (Accommodation in Laganas)

Frances K

I have been looking for Jimmy's apartments for ages in most of the holiday brochures, anybody know which brochure it's in?

Also, I notice Dados Hotel being mentioned with Jimmys.  Now I'm confused we used to stay at jimmy's alot when we stayed at Laganas, now when we were there it was run by an elderly guy called Jimmy and his wife Anastacia and their son plus some other family members, is this the same Jimmys?.  Help please.

Zakynthos Airport - (Places to Visit in Zante)

Frances K          4/10

JUST COME BACK FROM ZANTE 21TH JUNE, AIRPORT STILL THE SAME.

ARRIVALS PART NOT BAD, GOT OUR SUITCASES IN LESS THAN 1/2 HR WHICH IS V. GOOD BY ZANTE STANDARDS HAVE NOW BEEN TO ZANTE 11 TIMES SO SEE ALOT OF CHANGES.
 THE NEW DEPARTURE LOUNGE (HA HA )  IS BEING OPEN IN SEPT 07 DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATHE WILL MORE LIKELY BE SEPT 08.
 
BUT, DON'T DO WHAT I DID  BROUGHT A NICE BOTTLE OF BAILEYS TO BRING HOME DIDN'T PUT IN MY SUITCASE IN CASE IT BROKE, BUT PUT IN THE CABIN BAG.
GOT THROUGH PASSPORT OK THEN WHEN THEY SCAN OUR BAGS SAW THE BAILEYS AND COULDN'T TAKE IT THROUGH, AND MY GREEK ISN'T THAT GOOD COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PASSPORT GUY WAS SAYING, SO LEFT IT WITH HIM.
COULD BE THEY ARE JUST LOOKING AT WHAT THERE IS ON OFFER FOR THEMSELVES AS SOMEONE ELSE WAS LET THROUGH WITH THEIR BOOZE. PERHAPS THEY LIKE BAILEYS!

WELL, IF YOU LIKE YOUR FOOD SUPER QUICK AND NOT COOKED PROPERLY, THEN THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU.

WENT TO MERMAIDS FOR A CHANGE AS WE HAD SEEN GOOD COMMENTS FROM THIS WEB SITE.
 
MY HUSBAND ORDER CHILLIE CON CARNE AND I ORDERED BBQ CHICKEN & RIBS (I KNOW IT'S NOT GREEK, BUT I FANCIED A CHANGE. OK) WELL WE HAD IT ON OUR TABLE WITHIN 10 MINUTES, NO WORD OF A LIE.
 
WE PAID A NICE SUM FOR THIS MEAL SO WOULD HAVE EXPECTED IT TO BE COOKED PROPERLY NOT MICROWAVED. SO IT'S UP TO YOU, CAN YOUR STOMACH HANDLE IT.
NICE PLATES THOUGH.
MY RATING IS FOR THE PLATES ONLY.

Parthenon Restaurant - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Frances K          1/10

HAD A NICE HERE BUT IT IS A TAD EPENSIVE, ALSO HAVE TO MENTION THE LOO'S (SORRY), THEY ONLY HAVE ONE OF EACH AND THAT IS THE WHOLE OF THE RESTUARANT WHICH IS QUITE BIG AND THE LARGE BAR NEXT DOOR.  SO GET TO THE FRONT OF THE QUEUE.

Stani - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Frances K          10/10

WORTH ALL THE CLAPS. THIS IS THE BEST RESTUARANT IN KALIMAKI WITHOUT A DOUBT.

WE'VE BEEN GOING TO ZANTE SINCE 1989 SO WE'VE BEEN TO THE STANI LOADS OF TIMES FOR ALL THE MEAL TIMES.  EXCELLANT SERVICE, PEDROS y HIS STAFF ARE BRILIANT MIMI IS WORTH HIS SORT. HELPING YOU OUT WITH YOUR FOOD CHOICES.
 I HAD LAMB CHOPS WITH REAL MINT SAUCE & ROAST POTATES (NOT GREEK AGAIN) I KNOW, BUT BEAUTIFULLY COOKED SO I KEPT ON HAVING IT. SWORDFISH WAS GOOD TOO MOUSAKA LOVELY. AND THEY WILL SERVE YOUR MEAL ANY WAY YOU WANT SO VERY HELPFUL.  AND YOU ALWAYS GET A  SPECIAL TREAT WHEN YOU PAY YOUR BILL.
 
AND YES, THE LOO'S ARE V GOOD
 
IT'S A SHAME I CAN'T GIVE THEM MORE THAN 10 POINTS THEY WORTH MORE.
 
ALSO IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE STANI IN A WHILE, THEY TOO HAVE HAD A MAKE OVER, PEDROS AND A ARTIST HAVE BEEN CHANGING ALL OF THE COLOUR SCHEMES IN THE STANI AND IT IS REALLY LOVELY . WELL DONE PEDROS.

Crystal Beach Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Frances K          8/10

WE DIDN'T STAY AT THE CRYSTAL THIS YEAR, BUT HAVE DONE SO IN THE PAST.

 
WE WENT TO KALIMAKI THIS YEAR IN JUNE AND THOUGHT WE'D POP IN THE CRYSTAL FOR A MEAL AS THEY DO A LOVELY SEAFOOD PIZZA.
 
NOW, IF YOU HAVE BEEN TO THE CRYSTAL BEFORE AND HAVEN'T BEEN FOR A YEAR OR TWO.
THE RECEPTION, LOO'S AND THE RESTUARANT AREA'S HAVE ALL HAD A MAKE OVER A VERY NICE JOB OF DECORATING HAS BEEN DONE ON IT.
 
NOT SURE IF THE ROOMS HAVE BEEN RE-DONE OR NOT THOUGH.

Venus Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Frances K          10/10

STAYED AT THE VENUS JUNE 07 SECOND YEAR STAYING THERE. VERY CLEAN HOTEL, HAD A MAKE-OVER THIS YEAR IN THE RECEPTION/BAR AREA'S REALLY GOOD JOB.

VERY FRIENDLY STAFF, MAID SERVICE , VERY NICE DRINKS AT THE BAR TRY A JELLY BEAN WHEN YOU'RE THERE ASK DONNA WHAT IT IS VERY NICE.
 
GOOD FOOD IN THE SNACK BAR, VERY CLEAN POOL.
 
WOULD MOST DEFINETLY RECOMMEND THE VENUS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY STAY IN KALIMAKI.
 
ON A SAD NOTE LAGANAS HAS NOW GONE VERY DISCO, SO IF YOUR INTO DISCO BARS AND A PIZZA HUT & KFC (NO JOKE) THEN CHOOSE LAGANAS

Fishery Inn Pub - (Bars in Laganas)

Frances K          10/10

THE FISHERY INN IS ONE OF THE MOST DECENT PLACES TO GRAB A BITE TO EAT IN LAGANAS.

SOMETIMES IT MAKES A NICE CHANGE TO EAT AN ORDINARY LUNCH THEY DO REALLY SCRUMMY BAGGETES WITH CRISPS, OH BLISS, OH SORRY I WAS DREAMING THEN.MMMM
 
IT'S RIGHT ON THE BEACH, SO LOVELY VIEW GAYLE AND HER STAFF ARE LOVELY.
 
THE LOO'S HAVE HAD A MAKE OVER (THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING GOING ON IN ZANTE LOTS OF PLACES ARE HAVING MAKE-OVERS).
ANYWAY IT'S A GOOD JOB. THANK YOU GAYLE
