Reviews for Iakinthos
Review 1:Nothing,rooms are typically Greek and basic with a fridge
Review 2:The staff are fabulous, the views at breakfast overlooking the sea are amazing as is the terrace. Our room was cleaned every day.we used the hotel transport to and from the airport. Best location on the beach of any hotel in resort
Review 3:10 of the sunbeds have been renewed the others need doing,Very uncomfortable and falling apart.Guests from other hotels shouldn't be able to use the sunbeds in the hotel grounds. A couple of times we had to go elsewhere because people from outside the hotel were using them or had reserved them.
Review 4:Great location,brilliant friendly staff. High standard of cleanliness. Food and drink fabulous. Highly recommended
Review 5:Our room was very small and bathroom compact. Very small balcony.
Review 6:The location, excellent couldn't be any closer to the beach. The staff very friendly.
Review 7:Bathroom are very outdated and can come across as dirty, certainly in need of a total refurbishment, although they have started on the dearer rooms
Review 8:Great Staff, perfect location, what more do you need
Review 9:Hotel bathroom could be improved
Review 10:The staff were very friendly and helpful, you couldn't of asked for a better location, right on tsilivi beach and 5 minute walk from all of the bars and restaurants also the food at the hotel was very nice!
Review 11:the swimming pool was quite small even if the room was cleaned every day, I found it strange that they have changed our sheets only 3 times in 14 days.
Review 12:We had one of the most beautiful holidays in this wonderful, serene, relaxed hotel. We loved everything: the family room, which was basic, but spacious and comfortable enough; the fancy breakfast often served accompanied by live piano music, the polite service and especially the feel and sound of the sea...
Review 13:Nothing! The wifi didn't work well in the room, but that stopped us from being on our phones, etc. too much. It worked fine in reception, by the pool and in the restaurant.
Review 14:It was fantastic! We came out for a wedding with friends staying in the same hotel, but we'd come back again for sure. The room was big and spacious and the balcony had a beautiful sea view. It was the most perfect location, right on the beach (with shallow water, ideal for little ones, and water sports, ideal for big ones) moments from the strip of restaurants, shops and bars. The food in the hotel restaurant was delicious - breakfast was fantastic with a great selection and cooked Greek and English breakfasts as well as pancakes etc. Dinner and cocktails were lovely too. The staff were amazing and very helpful and happily indulged my little girl who was a huge fan of their swimming pool and breakfast cake!
Review 15:The wifi is only available downstairs and not in the room - not ideal when you're trying to contact your friends to arrange when to meet for dinner!
Review 16:The staff were incredibly welcoming, kind and helpful. The beach is literally steps away - the convenience is unbeatable. I cannot wait to return for a longer trip. Everyone in our group loved the breakfast - huge selection of made to order and buffet food. Advice: Email the hotel in advance of your arrival. They will send a shuttle bus to the airport to bring you to the hotel and then back to the airport when you leave. This was just 10 Euros per person for the return trip. A taxi costs around 20 Euros each way.
Review 17:The wifi worked fine by the pool and restaurant area but wasn't very good in the rooms.
Review 18:The location was unbeatable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Review 19:I had problems with internet, it was either too slow or the connection often failed. The beds downstairs were not comfortable, so we had to sleep upstairs. Overall, it was good, but for the money we paid, I expected a bit more.
Review 20:it is located right at the Tsilivi beach, had good options for breakfast. The rooms were big and the staff was lovely.
Review 21:Breakfast starts a bit too late if you are a morning person. Great plates from the kitchen but the buffet is not a big deal (poor choice)
Review 22:Great position in front of the sea. The staff was really nice
Review 23:Nothing was too hard for the staff. Every request was greeted with a smile. The food was good, the room comfortable with great views and the location was excellent.
Review 24:Very good location, helpful staff and clean facilities. The only thing I would recommend is to have an open buffet breakfast and to start serving breakfast a little bit earlier, not at 9.30. The atmosphere in the hotel is very pleasant and we had a wonderful holiday.
Review 25:I had to leave
Review 26:Perfect location right on the beach and close to bars and restaurants, very nice stuff and owners make you feel like you are part of their family
Review 27:had to stay in a small room at back of hotel.although very clean,it only had a small window.a bit dark and not very accommodating.had to walk into side rd and round to front of hotel for breakfast it felt like not being part of everything.lets a great hotel down a little
Review 28:brilliant staff,breakfast and location.very clean.airport transfer very good.
Review 29:This small hotel is perfectly located right on the beach. The breakfast choice was excellent.The staff always in hand to ensure everything is a you like it. Its beautifully decorated. We have stayed twice and made feel like a hoyse guest rather than a customer. The hotel contaced us a week before to confirm the reservatuon and arrange if we needed aiport transfer just an example of their attention to detail. Also the little extras like the free safety deposit boxes, free air conditioning , towels for the pool all add to the charm of this gem of a hotel. We had a lovely relaxing stay and felt very much among friends that is often lost in larger hotels.
Review 30:The wi-fi was an issue for us (very slow connection), however the staff - once again - was immediately on top of it. They addressed the concern immediately, which we greatly appreciated!
Review 31:We had an amazing stay at Iakinthos. The location couldn't be better - right on a beautiful beach that had everything (plenty of room, water sports, sand, shallow waters, etc.). The staff was, simply put, amazing! They are incredibly hard-working, and treated everyone as family. Beautiful hotel!
Review 32:Friendly, welcoming, staff who happily catered to our requirements remembered from last year. Prime location on the beach with a magnificent view of Tsilivi bay.
Review 33:beds were worse I've ever slept in,also piano playing at breakfast not good idea people like peace and quiet eating breakfast also music at pool bit too loud to relax
Review 34:location cleanliness of hotel efficancy of breakfast staff and maid service
Review 35:- i had an electric shock when inserting the key in the holder for activating the light - no breakfast until 9h30 the morning - no reception at night, entering from a secondary door - i forgot my samsung charger in the room when i left, and asked someone to go to the hotel and collect it. it wasn't there anymore. I think it has been taken - wifi didnt work in my room, just at the reception and restaurant
Review 36:- the location - the breakfast - the area in front of the see - the room was spacious
Review 37:In an ideal world I would have liked a kettle in the room, complimentary shower gel and an ironing board.
Review 38:Service was great, amazing breakfast, value for money, friendly staff, great cocktails, right on the beach and great pool. Not too busy.
Review 39:The hotel is set in an ideal location with the beach at your front door. The staff are incredible and are there to answer any questions you have. They are so welcoming and make you feel at home instantly. Choose this hotel if you're staying in tsivilli!
Review 40:Nothing
Review 41:Everything ...! New bathrooms this year ,though maybe a hook to hang the towels on would be handy. The position is perfect and staff lovely third time to this place and won't be the last .
Review 42:Everything was perfect - the position of the hotel right on the beach and within perfect walking distance to the restaurants and shops. The staff are lovely, friendly and will do anything to help you. The breakfasts are excellent. Well worth the bit extra for the superior room with panoramic sea view. Rooms were clean and comfy. I would definately stay here again if we came back to Zakinthos. Tsilivi is just the right size and enough going on without being too big - loads of lovely restaurants to choose from and extremely reasonable! We went at the beginning of the season early May so lovely and quiet, but would imagine it's a bustling little town peak season. Could not recommend this hotel more highly. Fantastic value for money.
Review 43:Not being able to have a cuppa when I woke up. Tea & coffee facilities in the room would have been nice!
Review 44:Right on the beach. The staff were so helpful. Very clean. Quiet surroundings but near to bars & shops
Review 45:The wifi sometimes took a while to connect and didn't work outside but i wasn't too bothered about it! Also the air conditioning or power or something in the walls was quite noisy at night sounded a bit like heavy breathing but since the rest was so great I got over it!
Review 46:I went to this hotel for my birthday and stayed 3 nights, everything was perfect, the staff are so lovely and help you with anything you need even carry your bags up stairs! Food is amazing we had breakfast and dinner there and drinks and it was spot on, best location as it is right on the beach and a 2 minute walk to the local town full of shops and restaurants! Highly recommend!
Review 47:Rooms were quite basic and could do with a bit of refurbishment. Shower cubicle door was broken and grout quite grubby. A couple of rooms had sea view but I think these were family apartments. Other rooms had side sea view but balconies were very small.
Review 48:Very close to beach and easy flat walking distance to bars and restaurants. Didn't eat in restaurant apart from some lunches which were good quality and good value for money. All inclusive breakfast was good with reasonable choice. .
Review 49:The pool is pretty small and the water was very cold (but we were at the end of the season). There were mostly adult couples in the resort at the time of of our stay - so you should take this into account if you are not at this age group.
Review 50:Staff is very friendly, breakfast is large and very tasty. the area around the pool is comfortable. The resort is right on the beach. Great location in Tsilivi - a sweet town in Zakynthos.
Review 51:Basic room very small Double bed room not safe for small children Limited breakfast and very late schedule
Review 52:Very good location on the beach and close to Tsilivi touristic area Clean Good internet connection
Review 53:Our bathroom did not feel clean at all. We wore our slippers into the shower. The floors in the room felt dirty as well.
Review 54:Ideal location as it was right on the beach. The staff there are so friendly. We were only there for one full day so we couldn't really enjoy our stay much. But they offer a lot of water sports option. The staff there were all amazing!
Review 55:Rooms a bit dated and only BBC world News available in English. Could also have possibly more variety of beers, (but thats me being picky)
Review 56:A question asked was would i recommend Iakinthos to others, well i have to 5 others already and i have only been back a day, best location in Tsivili, directly on the beach, staff could not do enough for you, close to the stretch of shops for shoppping and dining (but not so close you can be disturbed) what more can i say, i will be returning!
Review 57:room was very good, cleaned daily and the double bed was great to sleep on. Cooked English breakfast included in price. Manager and staff always on hand to help.
Review 58:The staff struggle to communicate in English - I had a shock with the bill when checking out - they need to be upfront on extra charges at the start
Review 59:Friendly staff
Review 60:As mentioned owners son could have been much more welcoming
Review 61:Loved my nieces wedding at The Balcony in Zante - great day and great venue - we enjoyed our first time in Zante - liked Iakinthos Resort - Checking in could have been more welcoming even a wee smile from owners son would have been nice - the other staff were lovely and would go back again
Review 62:- The hotel seemed severely understaffed, there was never anyone at the reception. - The personnel weren't very helpful - we couldn't get more than 2 or 3 words out of them every time we asked them a question. Don't fall for the turtle spotting trips. You will see exactly 1 turtle (2 if you're lucky). If you want to go on a boat trip choose something else or rent you own small boat.
Review 63:- The hotel was right on the beach, but does not have sunbeds on the beach since on the particular strip the hotel is on there is only 1 meter to the water. It does have an average sized pool with sunbeds on the grass. - There are nice beaches if you go a bit left or right of the hotel. - We traveled to a lot of other cities on the island and Tsilivi seemed one of the nicest places to be in. - The breakfast was good. If you're going to rent a scooter for visiting the island I'd recommend choosing ZanteCar, or at least see the scooters running before choosing - a lot of them are in poor condition.
Review 64:Only 5 or 6 basic choices on kids menu. Shower cubicle in room could be bigger. Service for breakfast when ordering hot food some days took a while & got mixed up. All of these issues are not big issues & in no way affected our holiday.
Review 65:Staff couldn't do enough for us, very friendly & always available to help. Great location, right on the beach, pool was a good size for young children. Good food available from the bar menu. Room was cleaned or checked 3 times a day. Good range of drinks & cocktails. Good restaurants within a 10 minute walk. Would recommend this hotel to anyone with a young family. Will definitely stay again!
Review 66:- poor english of staff - our room had a strange smell far from fresh however you get use to it in 5-10 min. Nevertheless I wish it wouldn't be so - seemed that staff doesn't very much care and intetesting whether you feel comfortable, have any problems, need smth etc - breakfasts start a bit late at 9.30. One may find it convenient though
Review 67:- Excellent location right near the beach and 2 taverns nearby - Good view from the rooms on the top floors - breakfast is not bad but could be better
Review 68:We enjoyed everything about Iakinthos Resort. We were amazed by how friendly and how helpful the staff was. Our room had a stunning view on the seaside and very comfy bed. We were positively surprise to find out that the staff organizes some evening events at the resort such as love music and BBQ. :)
Review 69:Excellent breakfasts, very good location, about two meters to the sea and, in addition, evening snaks with traditional Greek specialties. We recommended IR. Ania and Wojtek.
Review 70:Great friendly staff, lovely breakfast, large clean rooms with excellent views and perfect location on the beach and within walking distance of some great restaurants.
Review 71:The rooms are not suited to a young family as the shower was very small
Review 72:The location and view were fantastic and the staff were very welcoming and efficient. Our room was cleaned twice a day with fresh towels and bedding
Review 73:shower room cold do with a bit of a update
Review 74:location fantastic, breakfast good choice great time not to early for breakfast ,would go back costas and the team lovely people .great
Review 75:Only thing is bathrooms could do with update
Review 76:Most things about this property tick all the boxes ! From location to staff If going back to Zante would book here again
Review 77:Great friendly staff, great food, incredible position and willing to accomodate you any way possible. Very friendly barman Yianni was always cracking jokes and made you feel right at home and the owner Kosta was always more than willing to help with anything you needed. Great place make sure you try the Dacos salad its incredible. Cant wait to return.
Review 78:For a family hotel it's not normal a 9.30 breakfast. They start to arrange the breakfast at 9.30 till 10. Same food every day and extremely poor. If you want something you have to wait and pay. Pay at your hotel 6 euros per day for two sunbeds and a table on the beach in front. You may go to the pool too late, from 9.30. Until then the doors to the reception and to the pool are locked.
Review 79:Good pool and good sunbeds aside. Pool and restaurant open for everybody. From the pool you may enter the sea in 2metres. You may stay at the pool and take a shower before enter the pool. For the children the quadruple rooms are enchanting as there is full intimity for them. Bath only down, near the matrimonial bed.
Review 80:A minor grumble is that we had to change to a double room for our last couple of nights as we weren't able to extend our stay in our family room. It was a bit cramped for the 3 of us, although we were offered the possibility of a slightly bigger room. Very Small balcony and surrounded by smokers so couldn't sit out or have doors open.
Review 81:The location was excellent, just a few steps from our family room to the beach, the staff were very friendly, good food at reasonable prices and room was comfortable and spacious. We can't wait to go back next summer.
Review 82:Had to change to a double room for the last 2 nights of our stay as unable to extend our family room. Beds were comfortable but room was a bit on small side (although we were offered a slightly bigger room) as was the balcony. Surrounded by smokers so couldn't use balcony or have doors open.
Review 83:Our family room was comfortable, clean and surprisingly quiet at night. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent and good value. Just a few steps from our front door were the pool area and the beach. We are already looking forward to our return visit next summer.
Review 84:Having to come home.
Review 85:There is nothing not to like. They organise airport transfer (20 minutes), cater for your every whim, and the location is incredible - two yards from the beach. Nearby there are myriads of excellent restaurants and bars - as native or as "British" as you like.
Review 86:We <3 everything.
Review 87:The Staff!! They are amazing very welcoming! The breakfast was delicious, clean!! walking distance from the beach.
