Exotica Hotel & Spa by Zante Plaza

On reading some reviews we were a tad worried about going here ! But wrong we loved it gutted to be home if I’m honest :( I wonder how some people judge as I feel it is just another level of spoiling the good for others. Ok so we arrived there was some confusion over how many of us there were and we were put in a small room with put you up bed but the next morning straight on it once rooms etc were sorted and we were upgraded to a massive one with patio etc it was so lovely so thanx guys only downside was the cleaners could do with rubber wheels lol so noisy very early in the mornings with there trolleys and the noise above the rooms was harsh with scraping chairs all hours rubber feet maybe lol . The food was scrumptious and we’ve put on a ton of weight always something different spoilt for choice , Now the bar man is a grumpy one but understandable being as it’s late season but the lovely Elsa who was always smiling and super lovely well made up for him sorry grumpy bar man my bad She knew exactly what drinks we wanted from day one without asking and made mean cocktails for adults and kids daughter loved that too hubbie misses your skills and your smiles thanx Elsa . Then there was Alexis ,Alex to all the lifeguard which are few and far between in Greece so loved that . Upon reading about said grumpy lifeguard we were again worried but in all honesty that man is a diamond he even taught our daughter who has adhd and sensory processing how to manage and gain confidence in the pool he was attentive and constantly watching for the safety of all so thanx Alexis , we watched children running around the pools etc people need to be more aware of the safety rules as accidents can go bad no fault of him explaining at all ! Even our own lifeguards in the uk deal with things much more harsh . All in all our best holiday yet amazing staff couldn’t do enough for you always happy to help and the place was beautiful what more could you ask for ooh almost forgot it’s brilliant that the planes go right over your heads sounds amazing and doesn’t go on late at night either hope to be back soon missing you all from Carl Char and Harmony in the not so sunny uk

Absolutely love love love it at the Exotica Hotel and Spa The hotel is spotless and literally only few mins walk away from the beautiful Kalamaki Beach. However what really makes this hotel so special not only to myself personally but also to alot of the guests who are regular annual visitors. They not only go above and beyond to make you feel welcome they most certainly came to my rescue on our last visit in September when my partner became critically ill. This year was our 4th year visiting and I truly don't know what I would of done or how I would of coped without the help, reassurance and comfort from a certain few of the staff that I've have the pleasure over the years to call friends ❤️ "My little Greek Family" Sofia Brazhdi (My little Greek Mamma), Alexis Vasilopoulos (The Lifeguard aka The Legend) and the beautiful bartender my girl Elsa Goriaeva And also the help and support of a few of the guests was truly heartwarming and I'm so grateful There was a review or two I've noticed left for the Exotica this year one of which I found to be not only far from the truth as I was actually there at the time but really quite upsetting regarding the lifeguard Alexis... he takes his job seriously and that's to be expected as a lifeguard especially when there are children in the pool that are left unattended and unsupervised. He's kind hearted and takes alot of pride in his job and still takes time to learn some of the kids new skills when he can. The hotel is spotless, the facilities are fab and the staff are not only truly professional but will do there best to accommodate you and are so friendly, welcoming and hard working. Can't wait to visit again next year!

Great hotel with amazing staff throughout. We had a fantastic view of the complex including the sea. Food was delicious everyday catering for everyone's needs there was nothing they didn't have. Pool was lovely although freezing and rooms were cleaned everyday with fresh sheets and towels every other. Definitely would recommend

Absolutely loved my stay here ,the food was amazing ,we are out and we would definitely say the food was better at the hotel.. Staff are amazing ,friendly and very helpful ,nothing is a problem .. So quiet and chilled ... The pool is cold but not unbearable ,took a day to get used to it .. The rooms are very clean and tidy ,the only thing I would say is they need to put a mirror where the hairdryer is .Beds are very comfy ,and the shower is lovely . Central to lots of things ,lots of amenities ,shops bars etc ... Have thoroughly enjoyed my stay ,will be back x

I'm going to write an honest review I gave four stars as we had a great time here in some standards that are star rated around the world this wouldn't be four stars but with a little tweàk here&there it has the potential to be . We booked a superior room &it was clean and large with our own pool which we didn't no about so this was a huge bonus. To make this room more 4 star just a few maintenance issues could be attended to but was not an issue for us &also little mini toiletries would make it that little more luxurious. Staff were lovely from cleaners, receptionist,restaurant&pool bar and not forgetting the man that came early morning to clean our pool ...lovely polite man he was . Food was great and plentiful but I will say many of the breakfast items were cold but there's a microwave I think you could use but to be fair there is plenty of choice of continental ,fruit &cereal. Entertainment of an evening maybe could go on a bit later but I would not hesitate to stay here again. We had a lovely stay

OMG I didn’t know what to expect I obviously read reviews I came to Zante 3 years ago with my husband and met my brother here for 6 nights We stayed in the Venus hotel Kalamaki about 1 mile from the airport. Fantastic hotel was bed and breakfast and even though Zakinthos was in lockdown and no where else we still had an amazing time. 2 weeks ago I decided to book Zante again The Venus hotel was fully booked and the closest was Exotica. A 4* all inclusive practically next door. I literally had no expectations. To us it was a hotel room with a very good price. We were delayed on BA flight and landed at 10:30pm Check in was very quick and very well explained When we got to our room it was impressively large. 2 bedrooms and spotless We overslept and missed breakfast We made lunch and it was truly amazing I will put pictures on Prawn salad followed by fish and potatoes Extremely tasty Now I’m buzzing to try dinner We turned down dinner with my family to try the hotel all inclusive dinner. It was absolutely delicious. I was so impressed that I had to write this review. I cannot fault this hotel and would definitely return The staff are amazing ( like most Greek people) and I’m only 2 days in and in awe at the hard working staff. The drinks are local - so no international brands but all soft drinks are branded. Today’s snacks around the pool were chicken nuggets chips pizza selection of salads and freshly made crepes. I’m super impressed by this 4* all inclusive hotel and if you read my other reviews you can see I’m an Ikos lover If in Zante I highly recommend this hotel Big big thumbs up Thank you chef and all staff for making my short stay amazing ❤️
