Bitzaro Grande Hotel - All Inclusive in Kalamakion

We had a relaxing stay here overall, but a few things stopped it from being great.

The location is really convenient – only about a 10–15 minute taxi from the airport (around €10–€15) and just a short walk to the Kalamaki strip, which has plenty of restaurants, bars and shops without being too lively. It’s also about 10 minutes to Kalamaki Turtle Beach – not the prettiest, but still nice enough – and about an hour’s walk to the main Zante strip if you want more nightlife.

The hotel itself has a chilled atmosphere, no kids around so it’s nice and quiet. Most guests were English or Dutch, mainly an older crowd. Evening entertainment was just live music, which was pleasant but limited.

It is right under the flight path so the planes can be loud, but we were told this before booking so it wasn’t an issue once we knew to expect it.

Our room was modern, spacious, and cleaned well every day. A big frustration was the lack of an iron and ironing board in the room – you have to go down and borrow one from reception and then they would be chasing up to return it right after, which got a bit annoying and I wouldn’t expect for a 4 star hotel. We asked for a duvet instead of a sheet as it was colder at the time but the best we got was a thick woven blanket which was a bit mediocre.

The staff were friendly throughout our stay. John on reception was great – helpful and welcoming. The cleaners were also brilliant.

Food and drink were the biggest letdown. The buffet quality and variety wasn’t great, and some nights we struggled to find something we actually wanted. The freshly made dishes at the buffet also ran out quite early. The beer and wine were decent, but the spirits and soft drinks were off-brand and didn’t taste good at all. No prosecco included either (only available to buy at €40 a bottle), and the coffee from the machines was very watery. The pool snack bar food wasn’t great either – mostly heavy, greasy meals of low quality, would have been nice to have some lighter options.

We also had a hire car from Eurohire just outside the hotel which was super convenient – they dropped it off and picked it up right from the car park.

Only other downside was the wasps – they were relentless around the sunbeds during the day (obviously not the hotel’s fault, but worth noting).

Overall, a friendly and peaceful hotel in a good location, ideal if you want a quiet, relaxed break. Just be aware that the food and drinks are average at best, and it’s right under the flight path.

everything was great the rooms were very clean and comfortable, the staff were all very friendly, polite and the food was a good variety

Generally the Average of Hotel quality in all Insel is less than normal in Europe or Turkey.

hotel has good location, near Main Street and 10 min walk to the beach .very clean, really very friendly and helpful staffs.very modern und nice design with Natur.

((Preis is not match with quality and Facility))

Nice pool and clean but if hotel is full booked , the pool ist small specially if some guest use air mattress

FOOD: breakfast and lunch is very normal ( it’s not matched with Preis)
But dinner is really special good.You should not go out for dinner.

Normally in All inclusive hotel water is free but here you have to pay for 1,5 L , 1,20€. More than supermarkets.
You can Use normal tap water but it’s really doesn’t test good.

Small Cocktail bar with normally drink.

FACILITIES:
during the day you have just swimming pool and if the weather is nice you can play tennis as well but there is no more facility after at the evening you have just sit in a small bar and drink if you have some play with yourself you can play otherwise there’s no Possibility from hotel itself.totally Boring.
