We had an amazing stay at this hotel! It was the perfect choice for our family, and we truly enjoyed every moment of our vacation. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always made us feel welcome.
The all-inclusive food was delicious, with a great variety of meals and drinks every day. Everything was fresh, tasty, and there was always something for everyone in the family.
The hotel was clean, well-maintained, and had a wonderful atmosphere. It was a fantastic place to relax, and our child also had a great time.
We highly recommend this hotel to anyone, especially families with children. We would definitely love to come back!
This was my third time on Zakynthos, and I can honestly say this is the best place I have ever stayed at on the island!The hotel’s location right on the beach is perfect. They offer a great variety of rooms, from standard options to amazing sea-view rooms and swim-up rooms with direct pool access.The food is absolutely delicious with a different selection every day, so everyone will easily find something they like. There are also two incredible swimming pools on-site with plenty of sunbeds, so you never have to worry about finding a spot to relax.Another huge plus is the staff—they do a fantastic job! They are always smiling, helpful, and seem to know exactly what you need before you even ask.The overall atmosphere is wonderful, and I am already sure that I will be returning here. Another amazing place added to my travel list!
I stayed at Golden coast for a week with my family. I've never seen a prettier sea. Crystal clear, no waves, the temperature was just right. 10/10 sea ...also there is even sand beach and rock beach. Amazing. ( No seashells )
The hotel is nice, modern, the stuff is really kind. It's a calm area and it's quiet so you can enjoy your space. The pool is amazing too. The food was good but not the best. Same with drinks and cocktails. ....small All inclusive menu. I missed my Aperol spritz aor something more Fancy.
The rooms were....okay. They look bigger on a photo. We had a terribly bathroom!!! Room 310. We had a private pool🌹🌹💓 but the shower didn't have any coverage so in 4 people we flooded the whole room. 💔💔 Disgusting...
BUT THE VIEWS!!!! the sea ..the mountains....the vibe...the atmosphere.....amazing. Calm, beautiful...
But it's has some mistakes
P.S. a LOT OF mosquitos
Overall I'll give them 7/10💋💋💋
We recently stayed at this hotel in Zakynthos and unfortunately our experience was far below expectations.
There is a clear discrepancy in how this hotel is presented — in some places it is advertised as a 5-star property, elsewhere as 4-star. They are collecting the environmental tax as a 5* though. Based on our experience, it does not meet either standard. Personally, we would rate it closer to a 3-star hotel. Many aspects simply do not align with what you would expect from a higher-category resort.
The rooms were very simple (had the ones with a swim-up pool) with a cold and basic design that does not create the feeling of a comfortable holiday resort. They lack the warmth, attention to detail, and quality touches you would expect from a 4- or 5-star property.
We were very surprised there was an extra charge for beach
towels, which feels completely inappropriate at this level of hotel. Small things like this add up and leave a very negative impression.
The kids club was especially disappointing and honestly quite shocking. It is located in a garage in a separate building that doesn’t even feel like part of the hotel.
The day after we left, our daughter started feeling unwell and eventually ended up in the hospital with Ecoli - currently 5th day in a hospital on IV and not getting better…also something worth mentioning!!!
The main restaurant was another low point. It is too small for the number of guests, crowded, and the air conditioning barely cuts it. Eating there was genuinely uncomfortable — as my daughter said, “it feels like the Hunger Games.” The food itself was also quite boring, lacking variety, which made the dining experience even more disappointing. Although their musaka and ossobuco was delicious!
That said, there are a few positives. The new pool area is nicely done and has comfortable daybeds, which we appreciated. The cleaning staff also did a great job — housekeeping was consistent and the rooms were kept clean throughout our stay.
Beach area is nice, with bits of sand access which was very appreciated by the kids.
Overall I would definitely not return and would recommend others to carefully reconsider before booking as it was not worth the $$$
We arrived with hopes of a relaxing stay and a smooth holiday experience. Unfortunately, the reality turned out to be more of a small adventure – and not always the fun kind.
The food was okay overall: around two thirds of the buffet was rather uninspiring, while the remaining third was actually quite tasty. It was a bit of a culinary treasure hunt – if you found the right dishes, you were rewarded.
Our room came with its own surprises as well. Upon arrival, there was no toilet paper at all (yes, really: zero rolls). We informed reception, but nothing happened. We called again – still nothing. In the end, we had to go to reception ourselves and collect toilet paper. From the first request until we finally had some, around three hours had passed. A great opportunity to practice patience and self-sufficiency, although not exactly what you expect from a hotel stay.
The room itself had a few other issues. The shower gel was clearly designed with a very specific audience in mind – it smelled like a nostalgic trip back to 90s men’s deodorant commercials. The coffee sachets in the room were not refilled during our stay. The safe was also unusable and, despite several requests to reception, the hotel manager, and housekeeping, it was never opened or fixed, so it remained more of a decorative item than a useful feature.
The beds were another disappointment. Although the room was advertised as suitable for four people, it was not really comfortable for four adults over 1.75 m tall. When we raised the issue, we would have appreciated a more helpful and understanding response from the hotel manager.
The organisation during busy times also needs improvement. In the breakfast buffet area, the staff were clearly overwhelmed during peak hours. They were trying their best, but there simply did not seem to be enough planning or support. Between 9 and 10 a.m., guests sometimes had to wait around ten minutes for a table.
Communication was another challenge. Many staff members spoke very little English, which made even simple questions in the relatively expensive restaurant difficult – for example, getting advice about the “catch of the day”.
To be fair, there were some positive aspects and we met friendly employees who were doing their best. However, too many small issues added up and made the stay much more complicated than it needed to be.
Final verdict: 2 out of 5 stars. Not really recommendable – there are certainly hotels where guests can spend more time relaxing and less time organising basic things themselves.
