Admiral Hotel - (Accommodation in Argassi)

Helen B 9/10

We have just returned from a great two weeks staying at this property. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Rooms were basic but clean and had what you needed. We were lucky to have a great view over the bay to Zante town from our balcony although this was not used much the second week as got quite cool in the evenings. Danny was a great laugh and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. Just about all the guests were british during the two weeks which was nice and we made a lot of new friends.

Thanks guys for the assistance and friendliness shown, we made the flight by the skin of our teeth yesterday once the transfer taxi finally turned up.

If we come back to Zante will not hesitate to visit you again.

We never made it in this restaurant but sorry to have missed it. Hi to the guy who we chatted to several evenings over the last couple of weeks. Will certainly visit when we return. All reports were good

Double - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Helen B 1/10

The guy at this restaurant was the most rude person in the whole of Argassi, after we did not go in for a few nights we was shouting at us every night when we walked past. One restaurant I would never visit even if it was the only place open

Poseidon - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Helen B 9/10

We ate here twice over the two weeks and would have been back on the last night if it had not been raining so hard!!! Very good food, and the staff were extremely friendly. Guy downstairs was always asking us if we were enjoying ourselves even if we were just walking past.

Helen B 10/10

This was our most frequented restaurant over our two weeks stay, staff extremely friendly, always made you welcome. Food was good and always cooked fresh whilst you waited. Great atmosphere Saturday night when the Rugby was on. Will definitely eat here when we return.

Thomas Cook - (Tour Operators in Zante)

Helen B (22 October 2007) 1/10

have just returned yesterday from a great holiday although this was not helped by thomas cook. we were transferred on to a my travel flight which was fine although it meant we flew an hour earlier so we had to be at gatwick at 3.30 in the morning!!! arrived at zante, met by kirsty who was great, we were taken to drop people off in tsilivi prior to going to argassi, not a problem although it meant nearly an hour on the coach for what should have been a 10 minute transfer.

lynsey then held a welcome meeting at which we booked an island tour for the tuesday which was very good apart from the weather which could not be helped.

we decided to try another trip to kefalonia for the friday which was a lot more than with the local agents but thought would go with thomas cook as more reliable. hahahaha. we waited from 7.25 to 9.00 and the coach never turned up!!! should have been there at 7.40.

when lynsey was in the hotel later in the day we got our money back as this has happened to my parents in spain with thomas cook as well. we then went and booked with a local agent for later in the holiday and there coach turned up no problems!! i will never do another trip with thomas cook in resort.

lynsey was great, very friendly and often around the hotel outside of her visiting hours, also would stp and speak in the street if she saw you. kirsty was based at one of the sister hotels and we saw a lot of her as well, just as friendly. thanks girls you were a credit to the company, sorry we did not get to say goodbye.

just to top it all off, sunday morning we were due to be picked up at 8.40 for 11.55 departure. we were down at reception ready for 8.20 but there was no sign of a coach, we were the only two checking out for that flight. the receptionist tried to call the contact number he had to find out what was going on and no answer, eventually we got through to the out of hours number where a very helpful lady went off to find out what had happened. she called back and said a taxi would be there within 10 minutes. after a further 30 minutes we were still waiting and the next flights transfer was getting close. eventually at 10.20 after a few more phone calls, a taxi turned up and sped us to the airport. we were then faced with no thomas cook staff visible only first choice, their rep was extremely helpful and told us where to go and described the thomas cook sup**visor to us. he was great once we found him and eventually we were checked in. flight back was ok and early arriving into england.

i will think long and hard before booking another holiday with thomas cooks.

Alykes Tourist Train - (Zante Excursions)

Helen B 10/10

This is a brilliant trip well worth the money, We happened to see the board about 10 mins before train was due but we were still able to join the trip. Very interesting seeing the history and hospitality at the taverna superb. Raisins have gone down a treat at home
