Hotel Metaxa in Kalamakion

Owner miserable. No hot water for 2 days. Bars never open and comfy chairs covered with old tele and throws. Pool was lovely. Needs to update description and pictures as very deceiving. If not by pool early enough same people had their own spots.

Avoid at all costs, absolute con artist charges for rooms in the hotel and then puts you in some random apartments which are absolutely stinking. If your a young couple looking for a nice hotel in zante it's.not here. And as a parent myself if you see your child has booked this hotel cancelled it please. More information on trip advisor review I've posted. But honestly how it's even got two stars is beyond me. Will agree with other reviews should be a zero. Been to.zante for over 7 years and would never advise anyone to stay here such a disappointment

Absolutely ruined our whole holiday. The owner is the biggest con artist in zante. Arrived on one of latest flights out and was greeted by the owner. My partner and I have been to zante for over 7 years but hadn't been in a while due to recently having two children. So this was a surprise for my wife's 30th. When we arrived we.paid our taxes, cash only didn't take any card which is abit strange and we then asked for air conditioning. The owner replied no you have it free and also free breakfast? I was very confused as looking at the reviews, but what he said next made it clear why he has offered it as free. He said ypu won't be staying in the hotel, you'll be staying in my cousins apartments Next door ? My wife and I were totally confused but after a long day we followed him to the side of the hotel where he unlocked some gates where some abandoned apartments were , this was really strange as we walked to the apartment he couldn't find the lights and then when he manged to finally open the apartment he told us to wait outside. As I looked in He was plugging things in , he hadn't a clue and the apartments was absolutely stinking , he had obviously tried to palm us off to some abandoned apartments for some cash. My wife burst into tears , the room was disgusting, things falling apart, it hadn't been cleaned, rubbish on the floor from God knows when. Mirror hanging off the wall, mould in the kitchen. I went down and asked for a different room to which I was told there aren't any. Luckily we managed to.find alternative accommodation and literally checked out the following morning. Absolutely disgusting . Cost me and additional £300 to find other accommodation which was so lucky to find at this time of the year. Now my wife and I do look young for our age and the owner definitely thought he could push his luck thinking we were young and just let things slide. Absolutely not!!. My advice if you're reading this and you are s young couple looking forward a lovely hotel in zante., this is not it please look aswell and as I parent myself if you see that your children has booked this hotel cancel it for them honestly I would never want anyone to experience what we went through. Only decent thing the owner has done is issued a refund which rightly so. The sites suggest it's a two star hotel, which is generous in my opinion I'm surprised it's still open amount of poor reviews it's had. And even the cheek to put us in some random apartments not part of the hotel we paid for. Avoid at all cost. Will be returning to.zante but never to this joke of a hotel.
