Exotica Hotel and Spa by Zante Plaza

"⭐️⭐️ Average Location, But Overall a Poor Experience Location: 3/5 | Rooms: 1/5 | Food & Drink: 2/5 • Location The location is actually not too bad. It is pretty close to everything you need if you're staying in Kalamaki. • The Room The actual hotel itself was poor. Our room overlooked a derelict area filled with rubbish, making for a terrible view. Inside, the room was incredibly basic—IKEA furniture would have been a massive upgrade. The bed was rock-hard, leaving us all with backaches. The bathroom setup is also very strange, featuring glass panels for the appliances and a sink you just walk into separately, meaning there is very little privacy. • Food & Drink As an all-inclusive, the food was average at best. There were a few decent options, but on the whole, it wasn't great—the salad bar was honestly the best part. The alcohol was atrocious. The beer was incredibly weak and watered-down, and the wine was horrendous. • Value & Recommendations I would not recommend staying here. You are much better off booking a bed-and-breakfast and eating out. Kalamaki has fantastic local restaurants and excellent cocktail bars, and it is not expensive to eat and drink out. That said, if you are traveling with children on a tight budget, this might be a passable option—just be warned that it is far from luxury."

"Very good hotel and the hospitality is amazing and receptionist Panagiotis is amazing, made me feel so welcome"

"I’ll give this a 3 star because that’s the star rating it should be . The place is totally acceptable , but it’s not a 4 star. Let’s give a few examples , the rooms , the actual mattresses do not fit on the bed bases and the bed bases have the sharpest edges . It’s not friendly for families for sure. They’re very basic, frosted glass doors/windows separating the toilet from the bed is far from ideal . The drinks are totally basic which is already known, but the cocktails are the worst I have ever had , they have this machine that measures everything out and bleh, tastes nothing like what it should be. Snacks throughout the day are the most basic you could imagine, it’s like child has prepared them. They out full made burgers in the bin with cheese in a heated pot, the buns stick to the bottom and the burgers are cold inside . Why do t they just do everything separate like the buns in a covered basket, cheese in the fridge, burgers int generated pot and you can make your own. Breakfast/lunch/dinner was decent enough , repetitive , but enough options and fresh , the bread was fantastic and the selection of desserts was great. Our room was clean and the cleaning ladies were very professional and polite, the staff were lovely I’d give them 10/10 Pools are so cold, the bar by the pool is pretty bland and boring , music dull and no TV, entertainment at night time very average and we popped to different hotels where it was great Out of 10 Service = 9 Breakfast/lunch/dinner Food = 7.5 Snacks = 3.5 Facilities = 5 Hotel for a 4star = 3 Value for money = 10/10 Drinks =4"
