Hotels near St Nicholas boat rentals /private cruises/trips, Zakinthos Island

We had a wonderful holiday at Calypso Villas. Even before we had arrived, the lovely Lina contacted us to see if there was anything she could help us with. The villa itself is great with the most amazing sea view from a large terrace. The sandy beach is only a few steps from your villa and the water is clear and turquoise. The owners Katarina, Nick and son Nondas are all so kind and helpful, always willing to offer tips and recommendations for best places and restaurants to visit. You will have an amazing time here. We did and would love to return one day. Thank you!

This hotel is very good, including dinner, until 10 o'clock in the evening, a lot of trouble. On the way to pick up the car from the car rental agency, the uncle of the car rental agency asked us where we live. After we talked about it, he said ”very good choice”. The hotel is very clean, and across the restaurant is the beach, where the kids are very happy. Recommend friends who bring children to Zha Island to stay. Just listen to the side of the road at the door. The whole Zakynthos feels clean and tidy. This impression starts from the arrival of the airport. The airport is spotless, very new and very clean. This hotel is very cost-effective, and the waiters are also very good. One thing to remind, this hotel’s breakfast, fried eggs and sausages are per capita, and the waiter will come up and ask you what you want to eat after you are seated. You need to know a little English. Choose the same from the options she provides, free of charge. Yes, don’t get me wrong. Ah, I miss the days there.

There are not many varieties of breakfast, but at least there are fried eggs, boiled eggs, bread, coffee, cereals and juices, which can meet the basic needs of the Chinese people. I arrived at the hotel early in the morning, there was no room left, I could only wait for someone to check out, but the hotel said that I could go to the restaurant for breakfast, but it was more humane. The location of the hotel is in the mountains, so you must consider renting a car when you come to live, otherwise you will feel that it is difficult to move.

Enjoyed a 4 night stay is Junior suite room located on 3rd floor. The room enjoys great views of port, sea and square from a very large double balcony. Spacious and comfortable room with separate bedroom and lounge area. The suite has 2 air conditioning units, separate bathroom with walk in shower. Breakfast was good and large choice offered. You can enjoy breakfast in their clique Central Cafe bar. Quick and efficient check-in/out. Friendly and welcoming staff. This is a return visit too.

It can be said that I have stayed in the best service hotel in Europe. The boss Mr. Dali was very enthusiastic, first upgraded the room to the most luxurious room with a large balcony facing the sea, and arranged different trips for us in Zakinsos for three days. We left our clothes on the beach a dozen kilometers away because of carelessness, and halfway to the airport we remembered that we had left things at the hotel, but the bosses were free to help us get them back. In addition, the hotel's restaurant is also great, breakfast is free, things are very rich, and the boss also sends us water or drinks from time to time. The photos sent are all hotel food. The hotel is located in the port of Zakinsos, the location is particularly convenient. Friends who don't drive can stay here and let the boss arrange everything. Zakinsos is really beautiful and highly recommended.

Me and my best friend visited here in May 2023, we loved it that much that we returned here again in May 2024. All the staff are lovely, welcoming and friends for life. The food is amazing, with a different variety each day with different themed nights. They have a few nights of entertainment which are different each night. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the cleaners always ensure your room is kept clean and have fresh towels and bedding. The hotel is on the main ***** but set back a little bit which means you will still get a good nights sleep. The pool area is lovely, again also clean. The sunbeds are comfortable. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. See you again in May 2025 🎉

Fantastic stay here, the hotel rooms are gorgeous, managers are always on hand and really helpful but also super lovely always looking to make those extra special treats or super thoughtful gestures that make your stay magical. Super close to airport but also easy to get everywhere but also felt like an idyllic slice of heaven, hidden jewel with the perfect attitude to hospitality that sets them above the rest!

They are suites with up to five people in two rooms and a kitchen with induction cooker. The decoration is not luxurious, but it is quite suitable to live with the elderly. You can change the taste by yourself.

Firstly, most of the staff at the hotel were absolutely fantastic esp. the bar/wait staff. Very friendly, helpful and a joy to be around. Unfortunately, we found one of the receptionists to be less so. Felt that she would continuously go back on what she had previously said, and would make little comments on why things had not been done or provided. Was asked if we really needed extra pillows when the room was booked for three people and only had pillows provided for two. Also, when asking for more toilet roll as housekeeping hadn’t provided any, was told toilet roll was expensive and how much would we be willing to pay. Felt like she was trying to be funny when it just came across as rude. The rooms themselves were not as we expected them to be. Were placed in the annex (which was fine) but the rooms were not what you would expect from a 4 star hotel. We had two rooms; one with two people and one with three. The rooms are not meant to accommodate three people as they are very small. The third ‘bed’ was a pull out drawer from the double bed which was not suitable for an adult. Even though the room had been clearly booked for three people, there were only pillows, cups and other items for two. The bathrooms in the rooms gave absolutely no privacy as in one room only had frosted glass walls facing into the room, one of which had saloon style doors with a big gap between them. The showers themselves had no doors and were instead more like wet rooms which made the entire bathroom wet and slippery when having a shower. We were informed when we checked in that the hotel had recently been refurbished but saw no evidence of this in the rooms. The mirrors had duct tape on, one shower leaked into the room, there was a screw missing from the balcony among others. Whist staying at the hotel, there was unfortunately a fire in the field next to the hotel only a stones throw away from the pool. Despite many people informing the receptionist (the same one as above) that she should activate the fire alarm to evacuate the building (due to the fire being so close and the presence of smoke) she did not do so and even stated that she didn’t know how to. The alarm was eventually activated by another member of staff. This was a big concern as many of the occupants of the hotel were young families and caused us to have serious doubts regarding the quality of health and safety at the hotel. Thankfully the fire was attended to extremely quickly by the local fire department following a call by a local and no injuries sustained. I do have to say that we were very impressed by Jet2Holidays as three of their representatives came to the hotel and answered any questions people had whilst ensuring everyone was ok during the incident. All in all, we were not impressed by the hotel and would not choose to stay there again. However, the food and drink provided was excellent with a good selection everyday, and the evening entertainment was really good.
