Where to stay in Alikanas

Read the dreadful reviews after I’d booked the hotel for myself and 7 friends. I was so worried but pleasantly surprised when we got there. It was a cheap deal and we got what we paid for! Basic room but clean and comfortable bed. Very friendly staff in the hotel. Walking distance to beach and fabulous bars and restaurants. If you want to five star pay for it. This hotel was value for money and we...

The hotel is nicely located in the Alykanas part of Zante the pool is beautiful sadly water is cold so we went wrong time of year to enjoy it in October however was nice sitting round it there were no pool towels provided I was annoyed that they charge €10 per night for city tax as they call themselves 4 star it's less for 3 star AC and room safe are chargeable too which was weird to me No English...

Mixed reviews on this hotel, pool area was amazing with great staff who are very attentive, we had a waiter everyday who was great, but unfortunately didn’t get his name, hotel was very basic for a 4 star hotel, we had multiple issues with our room, with shower drain leaking across the bathroom, no shelves for toiletries, the shower was tiny and had a wire coming out of the wall, toilet seat broken...

Rooms were clean and towels changed regularly sheets not so much. But in Need of updating, Unless you paid more to update. We had a fabulous view if we had updated the rooms would overlook the hotel opposite or a road so we were happy with our room. The pool is amazing we'll worth staying for that. Food was very good freshly prepared and enough choice. Staff are very friendly. The only gripe was we...

The best place to stay. Would highly recommend the deluxe rooms. The pool was just amazing. The location great, as you have access to supermarkets and food restaurants in walking distance. Clean rooms and amazing stuff.

This is a nice hotel in a perfect location for souvenirs, restaurants and bars. The hotel has some amazing rooms with their own little pools outside. There were dour of us staying, me, my wife, and two daughters. When we arrived and was given our apartment, it was a bit disappointing. There were 3 beds in one room and another bed in the kitchen/dining area. We needed a double bed and the two singles...

This hotel is great the people are great lovely and cannot do enough to help you and make sure you have a nice holiday, I would love to go back, but unfortunately I have mobility issues, and the mattress are for me impossible for me to sleep on, and I am in pain because they are so uncomfortable. I will be returning to Alykes but in a different hotel .

We returned home today after a truly lovely holiday. On arrival, we were told our room was ready, even though it was an hour before check-in. The lovely receptionist suggested we put our bags in our room, unpack after lunch. We did exactly that. The food was wonderful! Ample choices for breakfast and lunch. Every day, the evening meal was a different theme. There was an area child height which we thought...

First,positives,food was nice,staff and cleaners were friendly,rooms were nice and comfortable aswell as cleaned well everyday,good location as the beach was just outside, beach was nice and warm,the lifeguards were nice,now the negatives, staff were unprofessional as they were no uniform and no name badges,the place was like a wasps nest as there was so many wasps attacking u,the pool was cold and...

We came to this hotel on 23/10/25 from good old yorkshire in England, it has been a brilliant experience, the beach is gorgeous and right by the hotel, the hotel is run very well, it's clean, spacious and the food is amazing with a wide variety of choice, the staff work so hard here. I think the negative reviews are very unfair and clearly wrote by picky people that look for fault in everything...

Home after another great holiday here. We had a lovely relaxing 4 week stay in Sept/Oct and nothing was going to stop that come rain, storms and earth tremor!🫢 Staff are so friendly and hard working and the chef and his team produced excellent, mainly Greek cuisine😋😋😋😋, if you a meat and two veg person this hotel is not for you. During our stay weather was very wet and caused the outside seating to...

Having read some of the poor reviews I was a little worried about coming here, but I needn't have been. The location could not be better; the place is spotlessly cleaned and the food is just fantastic. I think some of the previous reviewers who have slated this place just haven't travelled very much (or were expecting a UK-standard four star). But they're forgetting we're on a Greek island here....

One of my favourite places I have stayed. La caretta despite being on the main road of alykanas is quiet. Exactly what I wanted. It’s clean and facilities are ideal. Staff are so friendly and classic Greek friendly hospitality. I can’t wait to be back.

We have just returned from 2 weeks holiday and stayed at la caretta we were very pleased with the room and found it very well equiped for our needs ,the hotel is central and in good walking distance from bars and resturants also the beach is just a 5 miniute walk . The pool is nice and quiet during the day and a good place to relax , at the front of the hotel at night can become noisy due to bars and...

Visited La Caretta for dinner while staying in Zakynthos, the food was amazing!! We were looked after very well by the lovely and welcoming owner and we will be back again!!

While staying in Zakynthos we had an amazing time at La Caretta Hotel for dinner that we went back a second time during our stay. Lovely customer service and all the food tasted amazing. Would recommend.

A really clean, modern and equipped room Stayed there a few times now and would say "it's the only place I would stay while in Alikanas. Their restaurant has a New chef and the food was even better than last time we stayed. Mihaela and Jerry are Great hosts and friendly as were we're all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made very welcome It's in a great location (in the middle...

The best hotel in alykanas, we’ve stayed there a few times over the past couple of years. The owners are amazing, friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The rooms are lovely clean and modern. They are located in the centre of Alykanas, which was perfect for us, with a short walk to the beach. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

We stayed in the 2 bedroomed loft room for a week. Efficiently run by the owner Elena, who you can keep in contact via WhatsApp and cleaned by the lovely Bruna. Good WiFi connection. Kettle, sandwich maker, large fridge freezer, cooker hob and the usual basic kitchen utensils. Comfy beds, we slept really well. Good restaurants nearby, beach 10 min walk, swimming pool across the road (you can use if...

Excellent position on the *****. Close to the beach and bars. No pool but we used the Letsos hotel pool which is just across a tiny road. We had the loft room which could sleep 6 but would be uncomfortable with 1 bathroom. One bedroom does have a slopped ceiling so you will bang your head every time you stand up at shorter end of the room. Kitchen could do with tea towels and cleaning cloth. Little...

2nd year running in these gorgeous little apartments! And they’ve spoilt us now for any other accommodation in the Greek islands which never seem to match it on trip advisor. Best bathroom we’ve ever encountered on the Islands. Lovely bright airy room. Hairdryer. Kettle. Sandwich toaster. Nice table and chairs and a clothes airier on balcony. Right above the restaurant but I used to love hearing the...

There was daily cleaning, the smart TV was great, the staff was nice, their confidentiality was almost too much. The kitchen could be normal, but it is very poorly equipped (no microwave, kitchen appliances, cutting knife, plate, dish, small glasses, kitchen equipment, etc.), 1 of the 3 air conditioners worked normally, 2 trash cans (August 2023).

Staying at the Thetis was a joy. Good communication with Elena who welcomed us and kept in contact with WhatsApp. The housekeeping was superb by our brilliant housekeeper Bruna. We will definitely be back. The restaurants nearby are also very good and the beach is a short walk away. Very friendly place

Unforgettable Stay in Paradise - A Perfect Greek Getaway We stayed at this wonderful hotel in October 2021, and it was simply unforgettable. The location is spectacular—right on the oceanfront, offering breathtaking views and the soothing sound of waves. Getting there was easy—just a pleasent drive from Dionysios Solomos Airport, with plenty of car rental options available right outside the terminal...

great accommodation, beautiful view, the room was great and the staff were friendly and kind. faultless. highly recommend and very reasonably priced

The nices staff ever who made us feel so welcomed and cared for. The place was comfortable, close to the beach and you have an unbeatable view of Kefalonia. So memorable, can’t wait to be back again :)

We stayed here to do walking and sight seeing on the island - for the last week of April 2022 (so this year). Everything about the hotel was really good. As others have said, Martina and Andreas are very thoughtful and attentive hosts. Nothing was too much trouble, they made sure we were happy with the food (delicious!) and the rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. We could not have found a better...

Most amazing stay! Will be back

Perfect hotel and location Made to feel really welcome and part of the family Niko's bar is the best place to get to know everybody, especially Miri. Maria was there to greet us when we arrived and sorted out any little issues (tiny) efficiently. Would definitely recommend. Pete and Jenny

Owners are very nice, especially Nikos. He is really good guy and helps you with anything. Rooms were fine, breakfast was okay (maybe a little changing from day to day will be perfect). We have a really nice staying for very good prize.

The hotel dinner is fantastic! This is the best! The breakfast is not too good. (every day is the same).

Spent a week here in September. Very comfy beds, maid came regularly during my stay. Food and drink very reasonably priced. Grapevine 10 minute walk to *****. The only thing was they were charging €30 to use the shower room for 1 hr. Most hotels let you keep the room for 3-4 hrs so you can pack, shower at your leisure.

We've just returned from two weeks at Grapevines Hotel, and as always it's been a brilliant holiday. It's the perfect location, surrounded by fields yet a ten minute walk to the middle of Alykanas. Lovely and quiet at night. Basic accommodation but spotlessly clean, all we need for a great stay. The pool area is great , very spacious with no 'sunbed reserving' nonsense, there's plenty to go round...

We have today returned home from this hidden gem of a hotel and I couldn’t be quick enough to write a review. What can I say. This hotel is beautiful, well kept, a perfect location to be away from the “hustle and bustle” but also only a short walk from many tavernas and bars. The pool area is clean and the rooms were spotless. (I am a slight clean freak and worry about cleanliness abroad, but this...

Very friendly family run hotel. Rooms although basic were cleaned daily. And family/staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Already missing the place and looking to come back again next year. Though would recommend booking direct with hotel rather than agent.

2 ladies of a “certsin age “First time in Zante , Grapevines was perfect choice Lovely Andy and her 2 sons were so friendly, kind and welcoming Basic Greek accommodation but spotlessly clean by amazing Mimosa Regular fresh linen and towel changes Good food and drinks in snack bar all reasonably priced and good atmosphere Great breakfasts Pool area is lovely with plenty of sunbeds always available...

URGENT! Someone who recently stayed in room 12 left 2 lovely rings in the safe. My partner has handed them into reception. We hope you get them back..

Great hotel with excellent location next to the beach. But the most amazing is food in their restaurant! The best breakfasts and dinners forever! Amazing master chief! Thank you for all

Been visiting here for many years, atmosphere has definitely changed now. A lot of work required to bring it back up to scratch. It will be fully AI next year.

rooms and playground are bit "old" instead access close to sea. not big chose of food but stuff it's really friendly, 2 pools in front of hotel one for kids one for adults. were there just 2 days would like to come back.

This is a nice place to stay in Athens for low budget person. I think I only paid 90 euros. The room was small but for one night it was fine.

Our Stay at Valais Hotel was amazing. We were welcomed by such warm and friendly staff. They were always helpful, sweet and genuinely interested. The people working here (no matter if it was the people at the reception, the cleaners or the staff of the restaurant) always tried their best to make our stay as pleasant as possible and we always felt comfortable around either one of them. Our room was...

this was our first time in greece and we had an amazing time. The staff is caring, friendly and they make sure we wouldn’t face any inconveniences. We really felt welcomed and cared for. The beds in the rooms are comfortable and the rooms are clean and get cleaned a lot. You have a little refrigerator which is really handy, also a AC. The hotel is just 3 steps away from a beautiful beach and just walking...

This was our first stay at the hotel but our third in Alykanas. We were a 3 generational family. This was definitely our best stay in the village. The hotel had everything we needed; location was perfect. 10 steps to the beach, amazing views, clean, comfortable and most importantly the most friendly and accommodating staff! Pool and communal areas immaculate. Rooms were large and clean; aircon and...

Had a great stay , started with a nice warm welcome and shown to our room. Our room was spotless on arrival and kept spotless throughout our stay with cleaning every day , fresh towels and sheets every other day. ALL staff were happy , friendly and pleased too help in anyway with a smile . Great system in place to order food and drink around the pool on the beach and in the restaurant . Was our first...

We stayed at the hotel for 8 days. The location of the hotel right by the sea is good enough + the area is green and the smell of conifers is wonderful. Clean pool which is included in the price. Large + there is a great team both in the hotel and in the restaurant. Room service and administration is excellent. But I want to address the managers First of all, it is a stale air conditioner that has...

To be honest his place is not great. Good location, decent Wi-F and Nico’s bar were all plus points but aside from that I think there are better places. The hotel is run down and although I had a pretty decent and spacious room judging by the reviews others were not so lucky. The included breskfast option is disappointing. I think the holiday buffet is a key part of this kind of holiday but here they...

We had a really lovely stay at **Plessas Palace. The hotel is basic but clean and comfortable, which was all we needed. The shower always had hot water, and the bed was comfy – perfect after a day in the sun. The pool area was great, plenty of sunbeds, easy access down the steps and the cocktails from the bar were fantastic (we had a few!). The hotel is in a great spot too, with loads of bars and...

What a fantastic, friendly, family run hotel Plessas Palace is. Me and my now husband stopped there with our wedding party of 40 guests. Niko changed the barbecue night for us. Which was the night before the wedding. They made sure we had the most amazing time. Maria is so welcoming and accommodating. And their family are just incredible lovely people. We will definitely be returning in the near future

A beautiful family run hotel with the most amazing staff who were friendly, professional and lots of fun! The cocktails at Niko’s Place were top notch and the food was delicious. The room was spacious and had all the essentials and a lovely balcony overlooking the pool/garden. Conveniently situated within a 5 to 10 minute walk from numerous bars and restaurants, we will definitely be returning in the...

Arrived here in mid August with my 17 yr old daughter who was sharing with me any my lovely friend who was booked in a similar room. We were all put in rooms classed as 'garden view'. Yes, the rooms were basic but I have stayed at a lot worse and the rooms were really big and very clean. What makes this hotel stand out really is the staff, they make you feel like family and the food is amazing!...

I had a wonderful peaceful relaxing holiday with a complete shutoff from all the news. Nothing but swimming in the sea, relaxing on the beach and deciding where to eat dinner. There were some small, presumably baby turtles in the sea. Evidently there were some nests on the beach. It is probably best to book directly with the hotel. That way in includes the cost of the air conditioner which otherwise...

In our opinion the hotel is not a four star however its a good 3+. The reception area and bar is pleasant and welcoming and the staff are very accommodating. Our room was tried and in need of modernisation the bathroom is very small with a shower over the bath not the best as personnel preference would be a shower only but the room did have a sea view and balcony. We had a problem with the toilet not...

We love this place. The beach is a stone throw away. Gently sloping into the warm water. Good location for the bars and restaurants. Honestly cannot say a bad word about this place.

Just returned from a 10 day holiday .Stayed in the new block so can't comment on the old appartments. New rooms great and the pool.in front was never too busy ,unlike the other pools.The best part about this hotel is the location, perfect for famillies.The beach is a stones throw and the local restaurants and bars are a 5 min walk if that . Shops etc...all close by .The bus stop into Zante old town...

Basic but clean and comfortable room. Lovely pools with plenty of space, never a struggle to get sun beds. Brilliant location on the beach, it’s with a walk to alkyes for pretty restaurants by the sea. Lots of choice for breakfast. The hotel surroundings are beautiful and well maintained. Only improvement would be more facilities in the room for making and eating lunch. No plates, cutlery etc. we...

After reading a number of the reviews it put a real downer on us coming to this hotel as we were worried we’d spent and worked hard for something that was going to be a disappointment. Well, what I can say is we have not had that experience and it’s been lovely! It’s not 5* but I’d imagine the 4* is for the facilities on offer over the room quality. The rooms are fine however, spacious with smart...

Initially given the wrong rooms and staff did nothing to resolve which was DISGRACEFUL. Ended up with three adults sharing one room and I slept on some kind of bench bed which was horrendously uncomfortable and got no sleep. After our 3rd/4th attempt they finally gave us the rooms we had actually paid for the next day, but we had to move everything ourselves. Rooms are basic and in need of some minor...

We stayed at Julia Studios for a week and can wholeheartedly recommend it! Anastasia is a wonderful host: kind, sweet, and always available at any time for any need. She made us feel welcomed and pampered from the very first moment. The rooms are spotless: daily cleaning and towel change. But the real spectacle is the sea view: waking up every morning to the crystal-clear blue before your eyes is priceless...

Everything was super positive: the cleanliness, the location, the helpfulness of Anastasia and the staff. Trust us without hesitation, you won't regret it.

So nice, so beautiful (simple, but you feel comfortable - only the beds could be longer, or without the board at the end)

A superb welcome from Anastasia, who was smiling and radiant! The location is ideal, just steps from one of the island's most beautiful beaches! The grounds are well-maintained, lush green, with lovely flowers and olive trees. Free coffee. A true paradise. The studio is very functional and well-equipped with a sea view. The decor is a bit dated, and there's no shower curtain. A little inconvenient...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Anastasia's. The accommodation is very clean and the entire property is beautifully maintained. A truly relaxing place. The hostess is always available and incredibly welcoming. We would definitely come back!

Wonderful At Anastasia I found a magical place where the tranquility and kindness of the owner are in every corner of this simple and authentic place. For those looking for a place full of positive emotions with an unparalleled view We hope to be able to stay there again

So first a nice clean hotel,rooms were large and cleaned,beds made everyday.Clean towels changed regular.Great view of the pool and a large balcony with furniture. The pool area very clean and a lovely size pool. Staff are friendly and helpful....big praise for the restaurant girls ,they work non stop....we have seen the young receptionist being shouted at by a couple of women on seperate occasions...

What can I say? we have been coming to alykanas for the last few years, and this is the worst hotel we've stayed in. The only good thing was the pool, which was huge. The young lady who ran the bar had to man reception at the same time, obviously not enough staff. We had a good rapport with her,It catered more for Polish . The other staff were not friendly. Food was awful ,don't bother if you are...

We were a bit scared after reading the reviews. It wasn't bad at all in the end. Has it's pros and cons, but it is a 3* budget hotel. The location is good. Quiet but 5-10 minutes walk from the centre, filled with amazing restaurants, bars and shops. 20 minutes walk from the beach, hotel offers complimentary bus to the beach and back 3 times a day. The pool area is amazing. Clean and really large (compared...

Just came on here to write a review and saw a review about a drunk girl. This was me and the bar man was not screaming and shouting not sure what this person saw. He was very kind and was trying to help me get back to my room and checking that I was ok. He was very concerned and check the next day to make sure I was ok. As for the hotel it is a lovely position with lovely staff. Rooms are spacious...

Hi all. Look its an ok hotel with no atmosphere no fun factor. We only had the breakfast deal and that was boring food absolutely no tastes or flavours. Same old thing. The place needs rescuing. We are here so we made the most of it...went out to the local places about 10 minutes walk 🚶‍♂️. Staff ok not at all interested in you as greetings goes ...to be honest I am disappointed.

Family focused place with a bit outdated amenities but quite nice people who make up for small inconveniences ( air conditioning units that tend to faulty function from time to time, sun-beds reserved by guests before day starts, or no access to drinking water past 11 pm at the hotel). Lots of Polish and British families who come and go every week. This place has its unique charm. Located close to...

Good location to stay at if you’re renting a car.

Steve and I have had a lovely 2 weeks with Sakis and his family. Our apartment was nice and the location is very central. Restaurants, bars and the beach are just minutes away. Food is lovely. Pool is great and the sun bed area is very comfortable. Thank you Sakis for your kindness when Steve needed medical help 💙

Highly recommend staying here ideal location for everything. Food & drinks were lovely & reasonably priced. Friendly & helpful staff will definitely stay here again

Great little apartments perfectly located with everything you need only minutes away. Sakis and his wife Tina are so friendly and go out their way to ensure you have a great holiday. The breakfasts and bar meals are fantastic as is the pool and pool side sun beds. We have been travelling to Alykanas / Alykes for 18 years and always love our holidays and our stay at the Zante Nest was no exception,...

We didn’t know what to expect before arriving, I was not disappointed. The place is perfect , bar area was fantastic, service at the pool bar was amazing . We ate at the bar a few times and enjoyed everything. Prices were very reasonable. We especially liked the small amount of rooms which immediately made you part of the family . The rooms were spotless and shower was very good . Beds were comfortable...

We had a fabulous 12 night stay at The Zante Nest. Sakis is a lovely guy and cant do enough for you. Apartment was cleaned everyday and sheets and towels changed every other day. Pool is quite deep so ideal for adults who like to swim. Food was lovely. Downside is not much storage..could do with some drawers in room, but i know these apartments are being upgraded each year. We will be returning for...

We have been visitor's to this area for many years . On a recent walk we spotted these suites and were looking at them over the fence . Alex invited us in to talk and gave us a guided tour and took us into an empty property. What a stunning place and what a lovely man Alex is . Needless to say we will definitely booking a stay there shortly.

Just returned from one of the best holidays we have ever had. Stayed in the new suites which are even more spacious and luxurious. Alex is an amazing and generous host. In fact the whole family are incredibly friendly and make you feel at home. Don't forget to try the food - all home cooked and probably the best meal we had in Alykanas.

Just returned from an amazing trip staying at Zante Suites. Alex, Dimitris and Dara couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome. The rooms, pool and bar area are great and we enjoyed meeting other families staying there. When our daughter required medical treatment, all the staff showed such care. Thanks so much - we will definitely return one day.

Amazing week away at the Zante Suites highly recommend! Alex and his family were very welcoming and attentive from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Daria the lovely beautiful hostess with the mostess we couldn’t have been more looked after. The complex was very chilled and modern. Our villa was 5* we will definitely be back. 6 of us stayed In the villa my two children and their friends...

We have just returned from an absolutely faultless stay at Zante Suites. This place made our holiday. Beautiful, spotless, modern and clean, high end apartments and facilities. The apartments themselves have everything you could possibly need, the pool is only shared with the other 4 apartments so always a sanctuary. The location is perfect, a stones throw from the beach and a 5 min walk to the restaurants...

The accommodation is beautiful. Very well situated. Owners were amazing. We can't thank Alex enough for his kindness generosity and for making this our best Greek experience. Also thanx to grandparents for the lovely beef stifado. Finally the lovely maria. Thank you all so much. If your looking for relaxation but not to far away from the tavernas and restaurants this is ideal.

Fantastic stay and in a perfect location. Rooms are spotlessly clean and very modern. We were given an upgrade to a suite which made a wonderful stay even better, we will definitely be returning 👍🏻

We stayed at Zante Flower with 11 people in the bungalows from the 12th to the 19th of September, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the very first day, we were welcomed with open arms by the amazing staff ; Nikos, Vasili, Maru and the entire cleaning team. They were always there for us and quickly became more like friends than staff. We were never missing anything. When we decided...

Visited the pool while staying in the area. Very nice pool area, quiet, great staff and amazing cocktails. The hotel is in a prime location with supermarkets and a beach less than a 5 minute walk.

Amazing place and staff. Thank you for everything i really enjoyed my stay in Zante flower I love youu all, Nikos, Marú, Kejsy

Just returned from a week stay here couldn't fault it everything you need is provided for .The only regret was not staying round the pool more food and drink do cheap and lovely.Nikos even provided us with our transfer s for a really good price .Thanks nikos we will be back soon

Hi all, just got back (may 10th) had a great stay, very clean and tidy hotel, Nicos who runs it is very nice and nothing is too much trouble. And the room service team were very good at there job. Will definitely go back if only to have a drink or two at the bar, it's brilliant, thanks Nicos.
