Exotica Hotel and Spa by Zante Plaza

"We went here very late season (October) 2025. Firstly, the staff are brilliant. You can't fault them, from front of house, to the restaurant, bar staff and even the cleaners, they are all great. Well done !! Food was OK. I'm not going to rave about it, but it was more than adequate. The fresh fish dishes were excellent. It did get REALLY busy at meal times and maybe there should be some consideration given to extending the dining area, as there were times when no tables were available. I've seen other people mention cats in the dining room, but where in Greece, Spain, etc, do you not experience wild cats. The rooms are good and clean. The toilets, however, are an experience. The toilet and shower in many rooms (not all) are glass cubicles that afford no privacy. They're clean / don't smell, but I personally didn't like the lack of privacy. There is a main pool and a smaller pool. Both are good. However, the outside bar is a good trek from the smaller pool and maybe there should be a closer option. The daytime snacks are, without a doubt, rubbish. These do need to be addressed. But, on the whole, it's a fun, value for money, place to be. ** One comment about 2025, and I'm not sure it's fair, but I am going to mention it ... the WASPS. The place was infested with them, but they were also an issue at the beaches, too. I spoke to Zante veterans who go here every year, and they've never known anything like the 2025 levels ... so I can't blame the hotel and I don't know if it's a regular issue. However, you couldn't sit, walk, swim, etc, without being swarmed by dozens of wasps ** The hotel is a 15 minute walk from the beach. Ooh, and I nearly forgot, one weird thing is that the entertainment is held in the dining room. That's not ideal ... there's no separation between your evening meal and then any entertainment. "

"A sleeping, nice place. Sweet Main Street with a lot of nice pubs and restaurants. Shops around every corner. Long Beach where you can find turtles if you are lucky. If you are looking for a party trip , travel in summer time, if you need stillness travel later in sep. Every morning at breakfast Bruna was greeting us with a gentle smile. Bruna , she has a softness around her and guides the guest with a gentle hand around the restaurant. She gives with her heart and soul that she showed us every morning when she served us real Greek coffee. Mary, with her beautiful appearance welcomed us in the hotel’s lounge. Everyday she was welcoming and graceful. She is classy. Alex the life guard smiled and helped us with everything we needed, always with a smile. Visi and Aralido served us morning, lunch and dinner with a smile and a professional approach. Panos the best Bar man ever. So nice and professional all the time. Beside the bartender job he’s selling the best olive oil from he’s own farm. Recommend."

"I traveled here solo with a young child , to say I was anxious was an understatement . I can honestly say it was the best experience, all hotel staff were so friendly , always so clean , we went mid October so we found pool to cold for my boy . Great location we explored every day . Food was lovely always something we liked . Airport 5 minutes away . Taxis always quick to take you out further .already looking to go back next year"
