Mavrikos Hotel

just got back from mavrikos hotel.nice hotel i would advice people to go self catering the food was awful it comes prepared from it's sister hotel.not much choice three of us stayed their all got stomach upsets.the bar staff was brilliant.bret who sang their was brilliant.its in a area close to other bars.

Can you tell me exactly where the hotel is. We have just booked for here for next july. We have been to tsillivi before so we are familiar with parts of the resort but we can't think where this hotel is. We are all so excited. Thanks Emma

Hi, can anyone please tell me how steep/long is the hill up to the Mavrikos its just that my wife has slight walking difficulties, we always  stay at the Mavrias down the side of the bakery just thought we may have a change next time we come to Tsilvi.  Thanks for help.

This hotel is very child friendly and the staff were great. My husband made friends with the bar man and they are still intouch now. we are hopefully going back. not this year as we will have a new baby but in 2014 we will definatly be back. The pool was great and even better if you have very small children as they had a small kiddies pool. The resort is just right too, not too noisy, but very family orientated.

The Mavrikos is a fantastic hotel and a really great place to stay. There's a really nice pool area, with plenty of sunbeds around. There are also lots of umbrellas situated around the pool, for those who prefer to relax in the shade.

Stayed here end of May 2012.

Really lovely place, out of the way from the rest of the town but within 2 minutes walk of restaurants, supermarket and bars.

I'm not one for staying in my hotel all day. Many of the Brits using this place seem to like to sit on the same sun lounger day in day out, which is a bit sad.
This didn't matter to us however, we always got time for a dip in the pool everyday without any problems and always got a good pint from the bar.

The reception staff were lovely. We checked out really early on the last day to do a trip. Our bus wasn't due til late afternoon, no problem, they let us shower, offered us clean towels, and looked after our luggage all day at no extra cost.

The rooms were cleaned every day and we had fresh towels every day.

Thanks to Jean, the lovely lady from Bridgend who works there x

Hi All - sounds like this is a fntastic place to go - am really looking forward to our weeks hols on 17th May. Anyone suggest any good hotel transfer people & know how much they cost. We have been quoted £20 each return for a coach with Cosmos, but don't really want to sit on there for ages, while everyone else is dropped off. Are the taxi's easy to get & a reasonable price?
Thanks in advance of any suggestions.

Stayed here for a week with my wife and 13 year old son.

Paul, to find Mavrikos from Popeyes.Walk away from Popeyes, with Popeyes behind you keep walking up the road, past Majestic on the left then past the family resturant on the right, follow the road round to the right, past the Bakery and Calypso resturant on the left and Paridise Bar on the right. Ahead of you is a Car/Bike/Quad hire place, go up the road to the right of this and there you will find the Mavrikos. If you amble slowly it will still take you less than 10 minutes from Popeyes.

hello there,thinking of stopping here next year,but was just wondering if someone could explain to me where the hotel is,in respect of popeyes? as you come out of popeyes,do you go up the road opposite or do you bear left? any help on this would be very much appreciated

Have stayed at Mavrikos 3 times in recent years and were going back for a fourth visit next month.  Have always found the hotel to be clean and the staff very friendly. The hotel is about 5-6 minutes walk from Popeye's restaurant which is pretty central so gives you an idea of hotels location.

7 weeks until we get to spend 10 nights at the Mav =D. Can't wait!

can't wait to spend a month at the mavrikos! not long now, roll on june! we've both previously visited the hotel on separate occasions and absolutely loved it! we'll be spending lots of time around that bar so get the drinks ready! lots of love from sophie and carly! (manchester) xx

To all the staff at the mav can't wait another 3 weeks before i get to see you all again and sadly this will be my last year coming back to such a wonderful place all the staff are very friendly and the hotel its self is ace great family run hotel best there is id say (but then again i have bin going there for years lol). can't wait to see you all again. oh yea jean shay said the first rounds on him lol lots of love Lynn Chick and DJ (Daniel)

I stayed in Mavrikos Apartments with my wife during end of June.

It's a very nice place to stay as being a Family run hotel everything has a personal touch and warmth.

The hotel is very hygienic and other facilities like Bar, Sun-bed etc are all good..

The place is very close to the town centre, and all facilities, restaurants, pubs are nearby. The tsilvi beach is just 8-10 mins walk from Mavrikos. Would definitely visit them again and recommend it to all visitors to Tsilivi, Zante.

Regards,
Sandeep.

We have just come back from zante and we stayed at the Mav for our 9th time. Met all of our old friends and some new people too. Jean ----- she is the best, soooo funny and soooo kind, Jean really does make the Mav! We will be back next year ---- cant wait.

Our whole party loved it, the weddings went great, we shall see you again, hopefully in the next couple of years, Get the beers in Gabby & Keith........ All the best The Dixon, Mann & Burtenshaw clan..

I have been to the mav 7 times.

Miss everybody sooooo much

See you soon

Just returned from Mavrikos for the second time! Yet another fantastic holiday!!! Never usually return to the same hotel but this place is special. Yes there are many returning guests which speaks for itself, but when we went for the first time with our teenage children, we didn't feel excluded by the returning guests as suggested by other reviewers, but instead were made to feel very welcome and made friends very quickly! We have returned again and have made a new set of friends and are already planning the next trip! The hotel is advertised as lively friendly family hotel - which is exactly what it is! All of the hotel management and staff are very friendly and helpful and we now consider them friends. The hotel is spotlessly clean and safe for children. The location is excellent being close to the main street but far enough away to avoid the noise at night. It's fun for all the family here and we needn't have worried about there being enough to keep our teenagers occupied, as they also had a wonderful time!  The pool bar really is a hub of activity, and Aunty Jean who works there is a really special lady and now a dear friend.  She is fantastic with the kids of all ages and is always playing tricks and making everyone laugh!  WE LOVE YOU JEAN!  The food and the pool bar is excellent too - thank you Eva!  You have to go if only to try one of Jean's special milkshakes - with extra TLC! They will be seeing us all again next year!xxx

Nice hotel clean and friendly BUT dictated to by the pool side bar. Sky TV and poolside speakers going all day long (switched on at 08:30am) and sometimes very load, could not sit around the pool and relax or read!  If you have a front room (as we did) then no chance to lie in or have a relaxing holiday... in my view this spoilt a very nice hotel.

Can only get 3 photos on per posting so will put on seperate postings.

Love Paula John & Alex xxxx
