"Great food, exclusive Grecotel only location, amazing water park, the best beach ever. Excellent al-la-carte restaurants with stunning views. Same as at Costa Botanica, it never feels too busy - you can always find a sun bed, limited queuing for drinks at the beach bar, water park with minimal queues on slides. Water activities run by a lovely family at the beach were great fun. Water temperature was perfect both in the pools and in the sea. The beach is cleaned daily so no sea weed at all. Kids loved to play near the natural springs on the beach in the sand to create rivers running down to the sea. Staff was friendly throughout.
Room felt dated and some facilities are in need of upgrading which can be excused given how grant the place as a whole feels. The bed was very creaky which was a nuisance with the kids in the family room. Beach bar opens at 11am while 10.30am would have fitted better with our schedule.
This is our 2nd time at a Grecotel after visiting Costa Botanica. We highly recommend both places for a family holiday with primary school children.
We travelled from the UK to Zakinthos and took Levante Ferries over to Kyllini. While overall a longer journey than flying to Kalamata, the ferry is a nice experience with short taxi rides either end which avoids a long car/coach transfer."
