Zante Sun Resort

Spotlessly clean. Good choice of meals. Loved the fruit smoothies for breakfast Rooms adequate. Need to pay for a safety deposit box and pool towels (daily charge soon mounts up for towels). Beach as such is a very small ***** of sand accessed by streep steps and difficult when tide is in. It's a shame that all inclusive ends at 11am even if your flight is in the evening. How are guests allowed to lay their pool towels on a sun lounger at 7am and return several hours later?

Firstly, the one and only gripe re this hotel. Contrary to what it says on Jet2 being a beach front hotel it is not. Contrary to what the hotel states, saying that the beach is only 80m away, again is stretching the truth. But like I said this is literally my only issue. This is a modern, spotless and friendly hotel with excellent food. Rooms Modern and clean with towels replaced daily and the room cleaned everyday as well. There's a shallow fridge in the room as well as a safe. The rooms are air conditioned working off your key card and only when the balcony door is closed. You only get one key card so you can't keep the room cool for your return but having said that our room was cool enough when we got back. Food and Drink I can honestly say that the food we had was spot on. Plenty of choice for all meals and varied each day in the restaurant. The pool snack bar serves from 11am until 5pm. Burgers, chicken burgers, fries and toasties are made to order but there is a selection of salads, quiches, frsh fruit and desserts to be had. The pool bar inclusive drinks are good but the Sky Lounge serves exceptional cocktails but these incur a charge. Ask the bartender 'Baboo' for one from his recipe book as opposed to the menu. A 'Tingly Feeling' or 'Captain Jacks Jar' are excellent. Baboo was brilliant and obviously loves his craft. Beach The beach I previously mentioned is nothing to write home about. However there is a really good bar there called Kui Bar. You're best turning right as you walk out of the hotel down to the harbour, turn left and follow the coast line until you reach Laganas Beach. Two sunbeds, table and umbrella range from 10 ro 20 Euros for the day. We used sunbeds from the Mediteranean Beach Hotel where there pool bar served ice cold Mythos and excellent food. We visited several times and they were always happy to call us a taxi back to the hotel. It's a 12 to 15 minute walk if you choose to do so. We'd walk there and taxi back. Taxi was 15 Euros. Eating out If you turn left out of the hotel and walk about 50m you'll find El Greco taverna on your left. This is a family run business and is exceptional. The seafood is excellent and for 8 Euros you receive a 1 litre copper jug of Greek white wine which is good. Supermarket As you walk out of the hotel there is a supermarket directly across the minor road with everything you could wish for. Even though all inclusive there is no water provided for your room so this is an ideal place to pick some up. Trips / Cameo Island You will see alot of 'Happy Traveller' stalls dotted about selling boat excursions. After checking them out on Tripadvisor we stayed well clear but there are plenty of other tour operators in the harbour. Therr are also loads of small speed boats tou can hire for your own trip as well. Cameo Island is a right turn out of the hotel down to the harbour where you'll find a rope bridge across the sea to the island. 5 Euros gets you in and your photograph taken which th
