필로제니아 호텔 자킨토스(Filoxenia Hotel Zakynthos)

First of all the good points. The room is fabulous although we did pay a lot extra for a superior room because we wanted a walk in shower. The hotel staff are amazing, very helpful and friendly. The pools are very clean. Now the bad points, the food is mostly Luke warm at best for all meals. There is no entertainment apart from a singer Sunday night. We had bingo one afternoon but it will cost 30 euros for 2 of you. The air conditioning is for certain hours and you have pay. Tourist tax was 77 euros and safes are 5 euros a day. Despite the good points would we come again, no we wouldn’t come here again. It’s isolated and definitely not suitable for disabled people due to steps or steep slopes

When you book a 3* hotel please do not expect 5* food and drinks. It is that simple, food good and there was always a choice. everything was fresh. You will not go hungry. All inclusive drinks are, local brands and fountain fizzy drinks / water so you will not dehydrate. Staff are all lovely and go above and beyond. Rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable. Kettle and fridge in the room. There are 2 pools with more than enough space (and sunbeds) for everyone. Transfer from airport is only about 15 minutes so location is good. 20 minute walk into town or there is a hotel bus to take you to the beach a few times daily. Occasional entertainment. If you are looking for all day and night entertainment, this is not the hotel for you. If you are looking for relaxation then give it a shot.

Quick check in. We arrived late and the restaurant was closed but they provided a cold plate which was in the fridge with a bottle of water. We had 1 cold plate between 2 of us which was mostly salad. Rooms were spacious. There was a fridge and kettle as well as a safe which I think you had to pay extra for. There are 2 pools. No issues with getting sunbeds although the tradition of reserving these with towels still continues. Restaurant was OK with a varied selection so you will not starve. Bars served local drinks. If you want anything else there is a cost. Staff were all lovely. Entertainment basic. 20 minute walk along the road will take you into the town with loads of bars, restaurants and the usual tourist shops. All in all we had a relaxed week and would return.

The hotel was beautiful. Nice big room that was spotlessly clean . Staff were friendly and pool and grounds were well maintained. The food was disgusting and mainly cold with no variety at all .eat out for every meal. No entertainment. Rubbish

Reception and bar staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms are spotless and spacious. Towels are changed daily. Room has hairdryer and iron can be requested from reception at no charge. Food in dining room is adequate. But it doesn’t stay warm long enough to eat at times. Plenty of fruit and deserts. We were all inclusive. This resort felt remote, though Free mini bus to beach twice a day and back. 15/20 min walk to the shops/bars/restaurants. Night time entertainment starts at 9.30pm but only 3 times in a week. Quiz and games 2/3 afternoons. Not a lot to keep us entertained. Bring cards or games. The 2 pools were both accessible and clean. We didn’t have much sun unfortunately and every night was quite cold. Everyone was wearing trousers and hoodies/jackets. Enjoyed our stay. It is as star-rated. 3

Me and my family stayed here June 2023 for 10 nights, it was a lovely holiday. Rooms cleaned every day with fresh towels, clean hotel and friendly staff. Entertained was aimed at adults and only on a few times a week. 2 bars to choose from and had snack and cake time during the afternoon. Food was basic, we but always found something, again not much choice for children unless they live off fish fingers and chicken nuggets! They were served for the 3rd day in the end we walked out and went out for a lovely meal just a walk down the road. We spent the morning at the beach and hired out a boat for the children which was lovely. Sadly, we wouldn't return as jet2 said this was family friendly but to us it wasn't. No entertainment during the day or night for them and the repetitive food. This hotel isn't for young children (my son turned 10 whilst we were here and my nephew is 12) we spent our evenings playing cards whilst the children played with their Nintendo switchs. Would of been more enjoyable if entertainment was on every evening for them. Breakfast was our favourite with eggs, bacon, pancakes, nutella, toast and cereal. The sausages were hot dog party sausages, not something you want at breakfast. The ice-cream was lovely, 3 flavours to choose from (vanilla, strawberry & chocolate.) No cocktails but we used to make our own, ask for vodka with grenadine and lemonade 😉 (I've added pics) On the whole we had a nice stay and only a 10 minute transfer not 40 minutes like it says on the Website.

SISTER HOTEL TO DIANA PALACE THIS HOTEL WAS FOOD AVERAGE THREE OF TH EMAIN COURSE COMPRISES OF RICE, VEGETABLES , (POTATOES CHIPS OR BOILED) VERY LITTLE CHOICE OF MEAT AND FISH DISHES.

I MUST ADMIT ONE NIGHT THE FISH BITES WAS EXCELLENT. DESERTS WERE VERY GOOD. DRINK NOW THIS IS USUAL AFRE FROM GREEK HOTELS THE BEER WAS OKAY BUT THE SPIRITS CHEAP AND I SUPPOSE CHEERFUL THE EUQUILVALWENT TO BAILEYS WASNT THAT BAD ALTHOUGH THEY DID RUN OUT OF IT FOR TWO DAYS.

OVERALL THE ACCOMDATION WAS VERY NICE THE FOOD OK TO AN EXTENT BUT COMPARED TO THE SISTER DIANA PALACE NOT A COMPARSION AT ALL WEVE BEEN TO DIANA PALACA NAD LOVED IT THIS HOTEL WE DID NOT. BAR STAFF WERE BRILLANT SHAME THE DRINSK WERENT . WOULD I GO AGAIN NO, THE WALK TO THE MAIN BEAT WAS NOT FAR AND HAD LOTS OF RESTURANTS AND SUPERMARKETS, BEACH NOT BRILLANT

Rooms very spacious, cleaned every day. Nice location, the hotel was divided in two blocks, we stayed in the second block, it was really nice. Food was delicious, vegetarian, vegan options available evey day. Hotel runs shuttle to Beach every day. We went in October, it was nearly end of season, so some restaurants and shops were closed. Nice & quiet relaxing atmosphere

We arrived via private transfer from the airport (which, now I know how much cheaper a taxi would have been, I would not book again and save £50) we were greeted by vvery friendly receptionist Vicky who served us a welcome drink and then took us personally to our rooms (214 and 215) which were on the first floor and looked out onto the pool in the second little building of 2, which is a 2 minute walk from reception. We were 3 adults, a 10 year old and a 6 year old and had one room with 2 doubles and a single bed and one room with 'just' two doubles. The rooms were plenty big enough for the furniture and also had little kitchenettes with fridge/kettle/hob. The bathrooms were small, with shower/bath and toilet. No plugs for the bath as a water saving measure but not an issue as we didn't want baths anyway. Water hot and good pressure from shower. Towels thick and white, replaced daily by cleaner, who was loveely and did a great job. Our balconies overlooked the pool and I thought this might be loud at night but as it was the end of season, 'our' bar only had one night of karaoke in the week we were there and the french windows, when closed, blocked out almost everything. The Greek night was in the other bar area with music and dancing, which we listened to from our room as we arrived that day and were tired. We could not find BBC news on the tv, only Greek channels, but there was an excellent radio station on channel 12 (Zeppelin?) that played 80s music so we tended to listen to that. Wifi was available in the rooms and by the pools etc - the closer you got to the pool the better the reception. Food: we were all inclusive and enjoyed the food on the whole. Breakfast was good - the usual bacon, scrambled/boiled/freshly fried eggs, cheese pie, baked beans, fried tomatoes, kids seemed to enjoy the mini Frankfurter sausages. There were also cold meats and cheese, salads and fruit, cereals, toast (good toaster) baguette and Greek yoghurt with a variety of traditional candied fruits (glacé cherries, glacé figs, glacé baby aubergines..😀 ) and dried fruits. The coffee machine had a variety of different hot drinks and there was separate unsweetened milk for the filter coffee if wanted by those of us who hate sugar in our coffee. Also loads of different teabags and Greek coffee. No fresh juices. Only had pancakes once unfortunately, as children really like them. There was a massive bowl of nutella-like chocolate spread for the toast/bread/croissants. We only had lunch 2 or 3 times but it was good. Variety of meat or fish or vegetarian dishes and lots of salads. Evening meals were nice, something for everyone I think, unless very fussy. Lovely salads, tsatsiki and cheeses and varied beef/pork/chicken dishes, sometimes grilled sardines, sometimes white fish, mix of vegetables, Greek dishes mainly. Chips and chicken nuggets or fish fingers or pasta or little sausages also available. I don't really eat dessert but my mum and partner always found something i
