Exotica Hotel & Spa by Zante Plaza

On reading some reviews we were a tad worried about going here ! But wrong we loved it gutted to be home if I’m honest :( I wonder how some people judge as I feel it is just another level of spoiling the good for others. Ok so we arrived there was some confusion over how many of us there were and we were put in a small room with put you up bed but the next morning straight on it once rooms etc were sorted and we were upgraded to a massive one with patio etc it was so lovely so thanx guys only downside was the cleaners could do with rubber wheels lol so noisy very early in the mornings with there trolleys and the noise above the rooms was harsh with scraping chairs all hours rubber feet maybe lol . The food was scrumptious and we’ve put on a ton of weight always something different spoilt for choice , Now the bar man is a grumpy one but understandable being as it’s late season but the lovely Elsa who was always smiling and super lovely well made up for him sorry grumpy bar man my bad She knew exactly what drinks we wanted from day one without asking and made mean cocktails for adults and kids daughter loved that too hubbie misses your skills and your smiles thanx Elsa . Then there was Alexis ,Alex to all the lifeguard which are few and far between in Greece so loved that . Upon reading about said grumpy lifeguard we were again worried but in all honesty that man is a diamond he even taught our daughter who has adhd and sensory processing how to manage and gain confidence in the pool he was attentive and constantly watching for the safety of all so thanx Alexis , we watched children running around the pools etc people need to be more aware of the safety rules as accidents can go bad no fault of him explaining at all ! Even our own lifeguards in the uk deal with things much more harsh . All in all our best holiday yet amazing staff couldn’t do enough for you always happy to help and the place was beautiful what more could you ask for ooh almost forgot it’s brilliant that the planes go right over your heads sounds amazing and doesn’t go on late at night either hope to be back soon missing you all from Carl Char and Harmony in the not so sunny uk

Brilliant stay at Exotica, me and my wife loved it from the moment we walked in. Arrived a few hours before check in time but Mary on reception greeted us and said the room (free upgrade) was ready for us . She was great our whole stay, always had a good chat when passing. Always helpful. Thank you! X Went straight for lunch once we’d dropped our bags in the room and the food was really nice. Lots to choose from as we found with every meal. Breakfast nice and evening meals too, we didn’t eat out once as we liked it so much! We can’t praise the staff enough. Don’t know names but everyone was nice and friendly, Sofi (housekeeping) was lovely and spoke to her every morning - great standard of cleaning too. Albana in the restaurant too, lovely lady and all are really friendly. Every afternoon after being at the beach (very nice - Belesis Kalamaki beach bar) we relaxed around the pool area listening to the music from the pool bar and having drinks… good snack food in the afternoon too. Was nice if you miss lunch there’s wrapped up sandwiches, chips, chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers sometimes. Never go thirsty or hungry here . We were in room 338 situated facing towards the airport on the 2nd floor looking towards the mountains. Room was great and what a view ! Planes don’t fly during the night so no noise issues. Overall nothing to grumble about and we would highly recommend staying here. I already have been telling friends and family they need to come ! Was peaceful and nicely located as other reviews state. See you all again sometime, we will definitely stay here again when we next come to Zakynthos. This was our first ever time and we didn’t want to come home! Thanks to all of you for making it a great holiday

Great hotel with amazing staff throughout. We had a fantastic view of the complex including the sea. Food was delicious everyday catering for everyone's needs there was nothing they didn't have. Pool was lovely although freezing and rooms were cleaned everyday with fresh sheets and towels every other. Definitely would recommend

We spent 7 days in this hotel and we love it so much. Very nice territory with garden, clean room and very friendly stuff. Very good restaurant with tasty food, every day something new. The most important thing is drinks and cocktails, we have been in many hotels with concepts all-inclusive, but in Exotika is really high quality. Recommend!

I'm going to write an honest review I gave four stars as we had a great time here in some standards that are star rated around the world this wouldn't be four stars but with a little tweàk here&there it has the potential to be . We booked a superior room &it was clean and large with our own pool which we didn't no about so this was a huge bonus. To make this room more 4 star just a few maintenance issues could be attended to but was not an issue for us &also little mini toiletries would make it that little more luxurious. Staff were lovely from cleaners, receptionist,restaurant&pool bar and not forgetting the man that came early morning to clean our pool ...lovely polite man he was . Food was great and plentiful but I will say many of the breakfast items were cold but there's a microwave I think you could use but to be fair there is plenty of choice of continental ,fruit &cereal. Entertainment of an evening maybe could go on a bit later but I would not hesitate to stay here again. We had a lovely stay
