Zakinthos Island Hotels with Gym

So, the positives, location, right in the centre of everything. The staff are helpful and friendly. Shout out to Sophia and Ian, but also our lovely waitress and pool bar staff. Great bed and shower. The air conditioning is the best, and in the middle of a heatwave, that’s important. Breakfast is local, fresh and plentiful. All you need. Some might say the hotel is a bit dated. I prefer vintage. We had the Comfort Room, with the cutest balcony and local neighbour who we met up with every evening and said “hello! How are you?” On our perspective balconies. That was the extent of her English and our Greek. The wi-fi in the room was a bit iffy but great everywhere else in the hotel. We found two amazing local eateries and ate there all the time! We went to a recommended taverna in town but our waiter was much more interested in the larger parties in the restaurant (Sathmos)and not two old foggies with a smaller appetite and didn’t want a starter or pudding we voted with our feet and didn’t go back. Their loss. Best to stick to the small places off the beaten track. The best food, prices and service (Dell Arte pizza restaurant just off the main square) We did the all day trip to Keffolonia. Long day but Keffolomia is beautiful. The ferry ride there and back is too long. We also did the wine tour with the aforementioned Ian. Great fun. The negatives? There is a bit of a ‘sewage smell’ in the bathroom. Sounds bad but you get use to it! The lovely Sophia allowed us to have a sneaky peel at the upgraded room because we would love to come back and the upgrade room is a bit bigger. We loved it! .

The breakfast is very rich, almost full. There is parking lot. The view of the hotel is very good, a typical resort hotel. There will be band performances in the evening. There are more European and American guests in the hotel, and it seems that we have two Asian faces in the two days we stayed. We set the cheapest room type, and I feel that the hardware conditions are pretty good, with a kettle and sea view. The hotel is far from the town and 16 kilometers away from the airport. A car must be rented (a taxi may cost more than a car rental)! This may also be the reason. The hotel includes breakfast and dinner. We set a price of RMB 860 per night. Chinese meals are also provided (charged separately). Away from the town, the hotel is very quiet, the scenery is good, and many stars can be seen at night. If it is a car rental holiday, it is highly recommended!

Top resort hotels strongly recommend a spa massage. The price of more than 100 euros is an unprecedented comfortable experience. The hotel upgraded the swimming pool suite for free and has a dedicated butler service. The breakfast is great in Europe. The restaurant in the hotel is not recommended for 80 euros. 8 dishes per person is pretty average

I can’t put into words how incredible this place is, you won’t regret visiting Castelli. This is a family run business that will take care of your every need during your stay - The staff really care about you and will always go above and beyond to ensure that you enjoy every minute of your holiday. As soon as you arrive you’re greeted at the door with a massive smile and welcome drinks. The food is excellent and there is always a variety each day to try something new. The hotel is in a perfect place as it’s a short walk from Laganas beach and you can even walk to Kalamaki from the hotel. The rooms are absolutely beautiful, we had the Junior Suite Swim Up Room, it had everything you could desire. Waking up and opening your room door to your own pool and sunbeds is going to be difficult to forget! The entertainment at night was absolutely brilliant, we were treated to performances from Greek Dancers, Saxophone players, Bingo nights and so much more! This place has truly excelled our expectations of any hotel and we honestly believe you won’t receive the level of service that is offered here at any hotel. A special shoutout to Eleni who made our stay extra special and truly is exceptional at her job; alongside Jordan, Despina, Dina and the rest of the staff who make this hotel truly special. We will most definitely be returning and would recommend this to anyone who would like a personal touch to their holiday, whilst being in a cosy, exeptionally well-run family hotel. Thank you so much for making our holiday the best one yet.

The service is simply top-notch, the restaurant is delicious, the view is great, I recommend flow. It is really a very pleasantly surprised hotel, the price/performance ratio is super high, and there are very few guests in the hotel, it is often very quiet. It is very suitable for a holiday and lying down. 

My wife and I stayed here between 11th and 18th October. The initial impression of the hotel was excellent having been greeted at the door and all paperwork brought to us without the usual queue at Reception, this was a really nice touch to give our holiday an excellent start. We continues to be impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel and how much all of the staff would go the extra mile to ensure a first class service. A special mention for our pool bartender Marios who looked after us throughout our stay, however the staff at the main bar were also outstanding. The room was clean and well maintained throughout our stay, the water preasure was extremely low resulting in a feeble shower performance. Food was as expected in an all inclusive which is difficult to try and accommodate so many different people, whilstbon occassion the food was cold it was edible and we never went hungry. There were some services which had closed due to it being end of season but it didn't appear that everyone was informed i.e. the Spa closed witjout warning and some guests had already booked treatments and a couple of the restaurabts were closed and we only discovered this when trying to book. It didn't spoil our holiday though. On the whole a really nice hotel that delivers a first classs service.

As a couple in their 50's, we just returned from a lovely holiday to Zante and stayed in the Meandros hotel as an adult only choice. The rooms - We paid for a premium room, which in reality was a larger than average size room with a couch (which we never used). The room had a large cupboard with a hanging rail and a shelf which was too high for me at 5' 2”, but no chest of drawers in the room. The beds were comfy and they had good pillows. We also had a decent size balcony, however, this was on the dull side of the hotel and it only got the sun in early evening, so again never used as mosquitos tend to be coming out in evenings. The bathroom was dated and the noise late at night from other pubs etc, blasted through the bathroom window. The noise outside early in the morning mainly came from the local cockerels as it's a field next to the hotel and also cleaning staff with trolleys going past, so if you are someone who is not looking to go out to entertainment, then this hotel is not for you as you will hear it anyway and then be woken early with dogs, chickens etc. No signal on the on the only British TV channel. There are other rooms with their own personal swim up rooms and some that overlook the main pool or the sunny side of the hotel, so I'm not sure how they are allocated as we had paid for a premium suite!! The pool is gorgeous and the hotel is immaculate, outdoor bar is good for relaxing in and the staff are extremely helpful. The cleaning staff work hard to keep everything spotless and the restaurant is clean, but quite small, although there is an outdoor seating area too (however, you take the risk of mosquito bites if eating outdoor at dinner time). Breakfast was between 7am - 10.30am and dinner was 7pm - 9.30pm. We personally got a bit fed up of the food as it was all much the same most nights, so we chose to eat out a few nights over the 10 day holiday. I would definitely recommend Dafni's for a meal, just around the corner from the hotel. There is a lovely spa facility, although we didn't use it, except on the last day after I had lay in the sun. You can use of the spa facility to get a freshen up before leaving for a late flight. Nearby, plenty of pubs, supermarkets, restaurants on the main ***** and on the other side of the hotel, however, most are now closing for the winter. The beach is about a 10 minute walk away and the water is clear and clean, definitely worth spending a day or 2 there. Car hire is good to tour the island with and we did the ”Back to the roots” bus tour as well, which was worthwhile. We personally appreciated the help on the last day after checking out of our room, while waiting around the pool area before our evening pick up when my husband took ill and the reception staff arranged for him to rest in another bedroom for a few hours to prevent him feeling sick in public. Overall, the hotel is around a 4 star in terms of cleanliness, good pool area and reasonable choice o
