Hotel Zeus

We booked two double superior rooms with sea view and all inclusive accommodation. The first negative thing were with the rooms. Initially we got two corner rooms on the 1st floor. One had a beautiful view to the window of the other hotel, the other was OK, but both were very noisy (the beach is right in front of the hotel). After some convincing, on the second day we got two rooms on the 4th floor (one normal and one corner room) which were so much nicer. The rooms are generally clean, and cleaned daily, the AC works fine, all rooms have balcony where smoking is allowed. The beds are very comfortable and there are ample storage for 2 people for a week. Be prepared that Italy uses a different AC socket type than other European countries. EU phone chargers and other low-power non-earthed electronics will work, but for anything else you will need a plug socket adapter. Do your research before leaving from home. Back to the hotel. They have several garages. One is 500 meters from the hotel, on the other side of the railroad. One is 30 meters from the building and they have a couple of spots in front of the estate. They wanted to give us space in the furthest parking place, we had to fight for one closer. Breakfast is from 7:30 to 10:00. You have to arrive for launch and dinner in the specified 30 minute time window (from 12:30 to 13:00 and from 19:30 to 20:00 respectively) or you will not be served. Turned out the term 'all inclusive' is meant differently in Italy (or at least in this hotel). Unlimited food and drinks were limited for the time periods of breakfast, launch and dinner times. The food was served as a buffet table and it was delicious. Typical italian dishes (pasta, risotto, salad) sprinkled with some international kitchen (last day there was Hungarian beef stew - wrongly named 'goulash' so that people recognize it) The drinks selection was limited to sparkling an still water, a local sparkling orange juice, regular Pepsi, local bier (Peroni) and one type of red and white wine (red was fair, white was quite good). Tea and coffee were only served in the morning, you need to buy from the bar in other times. We were not allowed to take the drinks with you to the hotel room or to the hotel terrace (likely to make you buy from the bar). This is basically full board with alcohol included! Despite all the bad things, we had a great time here. The staff was wonderful, especially the waiter Dimitro and the receptionist Ylenia! The hotel needs correct the miscommunication to be as good as it sounds on first sight.
