Zante Plaza Hotel & Apartments

It’s early May 2025, the weather is warm but bring a jacket for the evenings. We are in the annex of the hotel (Hotel Plaza Palace) and our room is ground floor opening out directly to the pool and sunbeds. New sunbeds with little pillows, beautiful pool (the frogs swim in it at night), kept clean with a machine and the snack bar is located in this area. The main part of the hotel also has a pool but an annex a little further along does not. On arrival we had to pay €35 for the week the reception team wanted this paid in cash. The room has a tv and a little fridge. The aircon unit which you don’t need at this time of year is still a noisy piece of equipment in the room. It seems to be linked to the patio windows and when you shut them the aircon jumps into action yet does not produce any air! Most strange!! The sink is outside the bathroom located just by the door and has a big mirror. There is another mirror and a table located at the other side of the room. 4 shelves and hanging space for your clothes and a shelf behind the bed for your glasses, phone or a drink, whatever your needs may be. Oh and you have a kettle too. Comfortable bed with an extra pillow and blanket if needed. I’m a softy so yep I had the blanket on the bed. Sadly we had a couple of cloudy days and this also meant no hot showers! Water not even lukewarm. However you could shower in the morning and then the water was hot. You can eat in the main restaurant or at the snack bar. There is no bar area in the main hotel you simply stay seated in the restaurant for entertainment. I prefer two designated areas. Main restaurant - we were all inclusive so three meals per day. The food is okay, you never smell any delicious aromas in the air as you approach. There is the bread station, the salad bar, in the morning the yogurt and fruit area (in the evening this is the desserts). The hot food is under cover; usually a soup, a pasta option, a veg option, potato and chips plus various meat and fish options too. I did have a chickpea option one evening that was tasty. You should find something to eat and it’s all fine. Not delicious, not amazing; satiating yes. Have I had better in an all inclusive environment? Oh yes. I have had worse too. It was Greek Night in the restaurant they served what they called Souvlaki but it was diced pork on skewer lathered in butter. Beside it chicken fillets also swimming in butter. No humus, taramasalata, pita or gyros. I think if we want a really good meal we are going to have to eat out! What I wasn’t very impressed by was the hotel employees also filling up their plates alongside the guests. Should they have waited until service was over before taking their meal selections? Some filled a plate, some piled a plate high and guests would need to wait for more food to arrive. Snack bar - Snacks are 11.00-13.00 then 15.00-17.00. They serve burgers, sandwiches, chips, Toasties etc. They also had a BBQ night a Chinese night and an Italian night a

The hotel was amazing and the food was exceptional,the locals were also amazing they couldn't do enough for you always willing to help and recommend places to visit ,will definitely come again it was a family holiday and the people that run the hotel made you feel like family ,5stars from me

Really lovely staff at Zante Plaza. Only 10-15 mins taxi from the airport (€25 it cost us). Upon arrival we were met with the most fabulous welcome from Petros, what a guy!!! He showed us to our room and to the snack bar and other pool. We had a pool view balcony room, standard but nice. We stayed all inclusive so we literally needed to room to change, wash and sleep. One of our party had an issue with the bed, we brought this up and it was changed that day. The other staff were also very friendly and helpful, informing us of a traditional parade in the town of Zakynthos, they ordered us a taxi and could tell us the price there and then (€17 one way). The food was absolutely delicious and it was a good selection of drinks too. However, personally I'm glad I went out of season due to location of the hotel as we wanted a nice relaxing break away. If you're wanting somewhere close to the strip of Laganas it's a perfect location for you. Shops, beach and Cameo Island are all within walking distance. The beach and island offer some great views. We didn't visit Turtle Bay but there are people offering boat trips everywhere. Entertainment are the hotel was fabulous too. We had a duo called 'Flying Rooster' and also a Greek themed night with traditional dancing where they had customers up joining in (lots of fun). We went the day they were doing bingo but I imagine that good fun too! Thank you for a lovely welcome and stay!!!

A wonderful stay, very reasonably priced. Staff were amazing! The food was fantastic, with a wide variety of choices. The entertainment was very good- the Greek dancers were great and had everyone up and dancing. We were upgraded to an apartment on arrival and this was clean and comfortable. The cleaners came every day and replenished towels, made the beds etc. The beds were comfortable and there was adequate space for clothes etc. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others and if I return to Zante, this is where I’ll stay.

The most amazing beautiful, friendly and helpful staff is what makes this hotel an amazing place to stay! Beautiful fresh food, even have themed nights which again is delicious. I would visit here again and again and again! Perfect location near the beach and far enough away from the noise of to strip.

My and my family had a lovely time. All staff are very friendly and amazing. Food and drinks were very good. Rooms were very good size. Beds so comfy Pool was just perfect. Location is great, close to town 1 min and close to the beach 4min. Sending hugs and kisses to Peter and our lovely girls we will definitely come back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
