Zante Sun Resort

Zante Sun is spotlessly clean with really pleasant and helpful staff who work super hard. The room we had (450) was a good size with a double bed and additional single bed, we were given larger room than we had booked and we appreciated the extra space and the 2 balconies, one with a pool view at the back and one where you could see the sea to the side. Air con was great and room cleaned daily to a good standard. The only thing that would improve the room is a slightly larger bathroom and the shower- which although worked great flooded the entire floor every time it was used - quite annoying! Also the hotel only provide water on the first night - having to remember to buy water each day was a bit of a pain even though it was so cheap, I would expect this to be provided given how much we paid.

The hotel is well located close to the little village of Agios Sostis which had some really lovely restaurants and places to get a drink. You can also swim there although the beach is very narrow.

The supermarket across the road is handy and super cheap, and the cafe next door does coffee which we enjoyed daily as the hotel coffee is pretty average. Service at the pool bar was very good with friendly barmen, and although the cocktails were not great, the beer and soft drinks were good and they had snacks on offer all day such as warm popcorn and fruit pots - there were burgers etc too but we didn’t try them.

The restaurant was fantastic though! Super efficiently organised, a nice space with a really good selection of food at every meal that was fresh,hot and constantly replenished with plenty of options for vegetarians as well as meat which my husband said was good. The salad bar (especially the Greek salad!) was lovely and a real treat every day, as a fussy eater I don’t usually book All Inclusive as I dread trying to find something to eat but this was a really lovely experience and I ate well at every meal. The wine at dinner was also okay and the team in the restaurant are really attentive and friendly.

The pools are lovely and clean with plenty of loungers, the hotel doesn’t allow sunbeds to be reserved before 10 which works well, the pools are relaxed and pretty quiet without loud music or noisy games and the lack of organised fun was very good for us as we are not keen on hotel entertainment!

Laganas is not the nicest of areas but Cameo island is pretty at sunset for a good cocktail and we were lucky enough to see two turtles, in the harbour and also on our trip with Nefis Travel. We hired a car for 2 days from a local company and this was such a highlight, we saw most of the island and some beautiful unspoilt areas of Zakynthos, ate lovely food, swam in some awesome spots and saw some truly beautiful sights, I would urge anyone to do this as Laganas does not do the island justice at all.

I’d totally recommend Zante Sun - thanks for a great week!

Beautifully clean and modern hotel. Lovely Mountain View from our balcony. Good facilities; 3 pools, gym and spa all great. Gym is in need of a bit of an upgrade but was able to get in and have a few good sessions. Staff helpful and friendly. We had a great stay.
