On the plus side the towels were changed every day and the bed linen frequently. On the other hand the TV was useless and it was 8 days before it was attended to (unsuccessfully) and we had a problem with the glass door to the balcony which also took eight days to be attended to. We also had no waste bin under the sink, just the one in the bathroom for used toilet paper - not good at all for the price which was over £1,000 for 14 nights. Very over-priced.

The Family that owns this Hotel could not do enough. I could not go on holiday until later in the week but my wife children and mother were really looked after. They continue to improve and update the hotel until compared with others nearby it is luxury. Also it has the advantage of being less noisy and more exclusive because of its room size. We had a nice family room my mother a great double. For her wedding preparation and first couple of nights a niece booked a room with the private dip pool so it catered for all. Finally when my mother wanted to book a Taxi (due to walking problems) to a nearby taverna the owners son said he would take her there. A caring family that always do their best for their guests.

My husband & myself stayed at this hotel for first 2 weeks in September and would definitely recommend it The hotel & rooms are cleaned to a high standard. It is ideally situated very peaceful but also close to all amenities. The family who run the hotel were brilliant nothing is too much trouble for them and they are so happy & cheerful. If I had to pick a fault it would be the breakfast could have been better more fresh fruit better choice of cereals and bread rolls as I am not a cooked breakfast person,

very convenient and clean, beautiful view! I would recommend adding more traditional food in the menu but apart from that i love it!

Very enjoyable stay in well appointed and comfortable room. Away from the busy resort centre albeit a short walk away and in close proximity to water park.

First of all, there is signag (for the parking or the hotel). When I asked if we were in the right hotel- a young girl was very rude in answering (her attitude was arrogant throughout our stay). When asked about parking she described the first driveway we took that a broken down car and trash next to it. Didn’t feel very self. No WiFi, Hot water ran out on our second day. Will not be staying there again.

It's not the first time we come to Zante, but the first time to stay at Calinica! Accessible, near Tsilivi but far from the noisy centre, suitable for calm and relaxing holidays. Family owned business, with warm-hearted people, willing to accomodate you any time. Clean, rooms with beautiful view and a quiet swimming pool. We have felt like we have known the family for years, especially we loved their youngest daughter STAVROULA who is the heart of the family!! Thank you for all you have provided for us! Surely we come back!!

Polite staff. Very clean. Expensive for its amenities. Noisy due to England tourists. Expensive and not rich breakfast. Bad WiFi signal.

We arrived mid afternoon and were warmly greeted by our hotel hosts. Shortly after, we were shown to our room. Our room was nicely decorated, clean and spacious, with a balcony. There was plenty of cupboard space, a small kitchenette and modest but satisfactory bathroom. Essentially, there was a working air conditioning unit. Our rooms were cleaned each day, with fresh towels provided. Breakfast each day included the essentials, e.g. eggs (boiled and omelette), cold meats, cheese, savoury and sweet crepes, fresh fruit, sweet and savoury breads, with jams etc. all on a buffet self-service style breakfast. The pool area was quiet and peaceful throughout our stay (although we spent most of our time at the beach) and reception was always occupied so that drinks and snacks could be bought. We hired a car for a day during a stay and this was all organised through the reception. This was a friendly, family-run hotel with an informal and relaxed feel. The hotel is a short walk from the beach and close to many excellent tavernas, bars and supermarkets. If you want to experience Zante, the warmth, friendliness and simplicity that the island has to offer, this is the hotel for you. If and when I return to Zakynthos, I will re-book to stay at the Zante Calinica. Thank you for helping to make my holiday so wonderful!

We booked this hotel based on the positive reviews & should have paid more attention to the negative ones. I'm sorry if this is long, but people need to know, as we have been in the travel industry for over 35 years & have travelled the world. My husband and I are also of Greek heritage and speak the language -Could not find hotel, no signs from street. Hotel sign is after you enter property -Main part of hotel is tired & run down. Pictures on website may have been from previous years. -Could not locate front desk, no signs to show entrance. Maid had to show us where it was, then thought we were entering a basement -No one attending front desk, no signs behind the front desk (just a dirty plate with some left over food that was still there the next morning). -Itinerary stated check in time at 1:30pm, teenage girl that begrudgingly assisted us & us check in is at 2:30pm. When challenged, response was room was not ready & to come back after 2:30pm and walked away. Decided to have lunch & meet up with friends who lived on the island & returned at 5:30pm. We booked "Exlusive Suite" according to hotel description given to Orbitz. Also rate shown in USD, our confirmation showed same amount in Euros. -Owner took us to our room, which was in a detached building down the hill & across the street. -Owner told us and showed us this part of hotel was still under construction & we were the first ones (only ones there that night) -We walked through a construction zone

Just returned from a week staying at Zante calinica, family run accommodation who were all so polite and helpful, this is our second visit and will be back next year..

only the owner was kind and smily, not the others member of the staff. The hotel need improve a lot of things.

First impressions of the hotel on arrival were good; however, when the hotel manager asked us whether we'd want a room with a little kitchenette and we happily said yes, he took us over to the hotel next door (we had to climb over a wall to get there!) and gave us a room there. Although it was tidy and had fridge, small kitchen workspace and a few old dishes+cutlery, the room looked (obviously) nothing like on the pictures we had seen online, with really bare interior and a very uncomfortable mattress/bed. We didn't feel like we got an 'upgrade' there at all and felt bamboozled!

Good for the price point. Family run hotel, they were friendly. You get wifi if you stand on the balcony.Rooms were clean and there is a nice pool.

Nice, quiet hotel located close to the Waterpark but far enough away from the busy "main" street. The family who own/run it are very friendly, it has a lovely pool and we would recommend it.
