Cava Doro

 

  I have recently returned from a one week holiday, we had an absolutely fantastic time and are very sad to be home :
I’ve been staying in Kalamaky and Cavo D'Oro in May, 2011. My first time abroad, not many expectations, especially from the 2 stars hotel... but soon I completely changed my opinion.

The Room: I was immediately made to feel welcome and shown to my very good-sized room. Staff welcomed me very warm. Our room was lovely. It was clean and tidy and had a balcony with a view of the sea.

The Breakfast: Standard fare in the main - toast, tea, cereal etc. But also there would be something traditional to Kalamaky each day - Greek yogurt (YUM!).

maybe, hotel is not providing luxury, but it’s winning your heart and mind with really friendly atmosphere. I completely enjoyed the time I spent on Cavo D'Oro and in the hotel, and for sure, I will come here next year.

A two star hotel in Kalamaky with a five star attitude!

I recomend this hotel and restaurant with no doubt!

i think that some of these comment are just over the top, i stayed at cavo d'oro last august and i thought it was excellent great location and the only minor thing wrong was the shower, we had nothing to hold the shower head up so we had to hold it whilst having a shower the staff were amazing and the food from the pool side bar was great especially the chip butties. next year i am going to zante again but to tsilivi with 15 members of my family and i know e are going to have a great time! yannis was amazing aswell

Oh my god now wish i hadnt looked on here!Im going to the Cavo the end of Aug and after seeing this very worried.Spoke to someone else who has just come back and they loved it and had a fab time in one of the 1 bedroom apmnts.

totally agree with you bev. we have just come back thursday 15th july2010. we had room block 1 room 205. it was discusting. filthy, i could put snake marks in the dust on the telephone and on the shelve over the sink. the toilet bowl had stain marks in it . i complained to reception and you would have thought i had committed a crime with their attitude. the cleaner never spoke again. i had to complain twice about her cleaning and then because she would not change the towels that were left in the shower (we had had then 4 days) and not changing the beds at the start of the second week. i have taken photos and will be complaining to thomas cook. the rep.well. he was round the pool one day talking to 3 lasses from cardiff and saying that he would arrange "s**gging partners" for them and then continued to swear (f**k and other words). at that point i told him to curb his language, he did appologise but then never spoke to use again. there was that many young one there it was like staying in an 18/30s hotel.   we have been to kalamaki 10 times now and usually with thomas cook. but this fortnight was a complete nightmare. never again at cava d'oro

I agree with Debbie stayed at the Cavo Doro last year September 2009.  Room far too small, self catering facilities dangerous.  We didnt pay a lot of money for our holiday so we thought we got what we paid for but I see this year the cost has risen quite a lot, they are having a laugh.  We are going back to Kalamaki this year but definatley not to the Cavo Doro

We arrived to see a beautiful reception / bar area and we were allocated our room – G103. We headed off to find it and were shocked when we saw inside. It was so tiny. You could not open the fridge door all of the way as it banged on the end of the bed. I still have bruises on my legs from banging them on the edge of the bed whilst trying to get around the room. The bathroom was tiny too – the toilet seat was touching the wall and the shower cubicle was child size. The self catering facilities were downright dangerous. The only plug that you could use in the kitchen area for the toaster/kettle meant that the cable was stretched over the sink and the electrical appliance was balanced on the edge of the draining board.  The room smelt foul, a cross between a sewage works and a urinal. The maid came in every other day to clean but the smell soon returned. Our balcony was ALWAYS in the shade so any wet beach items put out in the evenings would still be damp the next day. If you left the air con on for too long – ice cube built up in it and it rattled very noisily then when you turned it off – it would constantly drip. The bar would play loud music until between 1am and 2am and you could clearly hear it in the room and then at 7am each morning we were awoken by the cleaners accessing the cleaning/linen closet which was right next door to the room. The hotel in a perfect location for both the beach and the bars & restaurants but we would never return to Cavo Doro

Ignore last comment as she must be high on the alcohol my hotel room cleaned every day always with clean towels room was spotless the pool was spotless 2 i think she needs glasses as i could see bottom of pool the hotel in genera i couldnt fault bar staff were great and beds ok were basic but i think last comment wanted to spend more time in her hotel room than have a holiday a very good hotel every 1 would recommend to any 1 HAVE FUN AT THE CAVO DORO HOTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just returned from 2 weeks at Cavo Doro - Staff friendly and helpful.

hi 

weve been to kalimaki for the past 2 years and only stoped at the cavodora. its great there.the rooms are quite small and the pool isnt the very big but the rest of the hotel is good the reception staff are very friendly and its a good place to stay.

 hiya all yiannis akis hope to be back september its chris tony and yiannis hollie to pester you haha.does anyone no if harry is still at the temple workihg hard as he hasnt been metioned yet,his food was great and enjoyed lots of fun in there.get ready harry and family we will soon be there.akis room g6 please my garden was my haven thanx bye 

Apartment was clean, staff were friendly, food was good. Pool was good - until we went to the Antonis pool which was when we realised the pool at Cavo D'oro isn't as clean as it could be. At night you can't see the bottom as it's so cloudy. A bit rowdy in the day too - far more peaceful and roomy at Antonis. Maid service was good.

heya akis, alison josh n kyle =)

luv Em xxx

Sarah,

the Cavo D'oro has a website here, http://www.zantehotels.gr/cavodoro/index.html they also have a separate website for the bars which are owned separately which I don't know at the moment! Im not sure of the numbers of the rooms, but you can't go wrong in any of them really, the block at the back of the pool is the newest. The rooms to the right hand side of each block have good sea views with the rooms to the left of the new block being a bit dark but never the less still quiet. Restaurants in Kalamaki are varied, catering for most cuisines. The main strip just around the corner from the Cava D'oro has lots of good restaurants, Mermaids, Panarama, some decent Chinese restaurants with a mix of sports bars to wash it all down!! Hope this helps.

Ewan,

The Cava D'oro is a nice family hotel, if you are wanting a nice place to stay with a party atmosphere, Kalamaki will suit you, I have been to Zante 8 times, 4 of those to this hotel & will be returning on 30^th May. Jiannis will keep the bar open till the last one goes home but will keep it quiet for everyone else. This hotel is a fantastic base for Laganas if you want one or 2 wild nights, with a good selection in Kalamaki of local bars with Karaoke, its great!!

Anyone wants more advise, email me on dan_skorin@hotmail.com

Jiannis, see you on the 30^th May!!

Dan
