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
