8/10 Good
"The breakfasts were great; I loved the dining area and the Greek milk pie! Although, when we sat outside, there were a group of bees trying to steal the food, and the staff didn't help with the situation... Breakfast coffee was made by the barista, not the automatic coffee machine. We had dinner at the flow dine and wine, very nice environment with live cello music. We liked the traditional dessert. One flaw is that the room doesn't provide a luggage rack, even though there was plenty of space in the room. We also didn't receive slippers when we arrived. It's nice to have a Jacuzzi in the room, but it's a bit old and very noisy when it's turned on. Very convenient to have buggy as the hotel is big."

Tsamis Zante Suites - Adults Only

8/10 Good
"The property was lovely and a great place for “home base”. We had a sea view, top floor room and I would definitely recommend. Most of the staff was amazing, Dmitris and I believe Angela at the front desk were both lovely and helpful. The cleaning staff did an amazing job and deserves accolades for their daily reset. Visali (spelling?), I believe he’s a “concierge”, was very unkind one day when I parked our little Picanto in the wrong spot. He berated at me in front of the hotel lobby and accused me of “moving cones”, which I wouldn’t do—and that made the day and the stay just a little less “shiny”."

Marelen Hotel

8/10 Good
"The housekeeping team did a great job of keeping our room clean and tidy however they are hampered by not having the right size sheets for the beds. A double bed is not 2 singles pushed together so when hotels do this the sheets do not fit making each nights sleep uncomfortable and annoying. Staff at the restaurant were welcoming and friendly and the buffet was always very well presented, re supplied and with lots of choice. The breakfast buffet was excellent. We did not use the pools but they looked well looked after. The hotel is very well located, just a short walk down the road to the blue flag awarded Kalamaki beach. The hotel is on the flight path for the nearby airport but this did not bother us at all. We had a hire car and there is a small free car park to use and there is space on the road outside also. We had an issue with the safe when we arrived and this was sorted promptly. We recommend this hotel."

"The hotel and staff are great. Beautiful pool and hotel. What you don't know until you get there that this is for families with young children, and couples over 55 that don't want to leave the hotel. There is nothing in the area to do except to go to the beach, which does not have beach bars. But everything with the hotel is great."

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely! Here’s a polished review that highlights the positives while honestly explaining the “all-inclusive” meal schedule: We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything was very clean, and arriving at the property was a great experience. The area was lively and exciting, with lots of activities and things to see and do. I would especially recommend this hotel for families with children. There are multiple pools, including a water area specifically for little kids, which makes it a great place for families looking for fun and entertainment. One thing to be aware of is that although the hotel is advertised as all-inclusive, the food is only available during designated meal times. Breakfast is served during breakfast hours, lunch during lunch hours, and dinner during dinner hours. Once those hours are over, there aren’t really food options available inside the resort. The good news is that you only have to walk a few steps outside the property to find plenty of restaurants and food options along the street. My biggest recommendation is simply to make sure you eat during the scheduled meal times if you plan to stay on the property. The food itself was actually one of my favorite parts of the stay! There were lots of options, everything we tried was delicious, and I genuinely really enjoyed the food here. The AC worked wonderfully, and our balcony overlooking the pool was beautiful and gave us a great view. One of our rooms did need a quick maintenance check, but the"
