We had a fantastic stay at Exotica Hotel Zakynthos. The hotel itself is beautiful, clean, and perfectly located, but what really made our experience memorable was the service. The room was spacious and modern. The food was delicious and there was an excellent variety including local Greek specialties. A special thank you goes to Mary at the front desk who was absolutely wonderful – friendly, always smiling, attentive, and always going out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and happy. She truly made us feel at home. Highly recommend this hotel and especially grateful for Mary and all the staff at Exotica for their amazing hospitality!

Maybe we should consider on holiday to not even using wifi but if its offered to guests it should be working properly. It was slow in the room sometimes not working. The pool is open from 10-18pm which it could be a little more flexible.

The team is very kind and hard working, from Mari at the frontdesk, Panos and Elsa at the bar, Bruna and Nikos at the restaurant and the Chef Dionisios, and as well the safeguard at the pool, thank you for your hospitality and professionalism, thats what truly makes us want to go back and recommend the property! Also very close of lots of shops restaurants travel agencies and the beach is 10/15 min walking. Perfect. The food and drinks were surprinsingly amazing.

Room could have been cleaner. Room was quite cramped for a family of 3. Alcohol from all inclusive wasn’t great.

Location great, staff were great and very friendly. Food was good for all inclusive. Great pool facilities

Pool closes early (6pm) and is fenced off.

Friendly staff, good breakfast. Lunch and dinner also good for a buffet. Arrived early and allowed to check in early was also nice.

The glass partition in the shower cubicle was depressurised and water leaked slightly into the toilet area. This wasn't fixed, but it didn't cause much inconvenience. There were NO unpleasant odours.

My mother and I spent 11 nights/12 days at this hotel, and I definitely have something to share. First, the hotel is only 5 minutes away from the airport. After our 27-hour journey from Ukraine, this proximity was a great relief. The sounds of takeoff and landing don't disturb. The beach offers an incredible view of flying planes. We arrived around 2 p.m., had lunch, and then checked in right away. Our room was near the reception area and had a terrace with a view of the smaller pool. We had everything we needed there. The food was varied and incredibly delicious. Everything was always fresh, appetising, and there were plenty of options. There were different types of meat and fish, as well as seafood. Several times in the evening, the chef prepared gyros in front of the guests. There was always food available at the snack bar by the pool. Sandwiches, ice cream, and other dishes were available in the refrigerators during the bar's operating hours. You definitely won't go hungry here! The staff is very friendly and speaks English well. Some waiters even know the word ‘thank you’ in Ukrainian. What I liked most was the absence of russians at the hotel. If there were any russians, they were invisible)) The hotel's clientele is European: Hungarians, Czechs, Poles, Germans, British... The hotel grounds are clean and tidy. Rooms are cleaned and towels are changed daily. Beach towels are provided for a €10 deposit per towel, plus a non-refundable €3 charge per towel. Replacement of these towels is free of charge. The beach is a 10-15 minute walk at a leisurely pace. The hotel doesn't have its own beach. In general, there are no private beaches because loggerhead turtles nest there. Areas with turtle eggs are fenced off and monitored by ecologists. The entrance to the sea is gentle, the water is very clean - refreshing in the morning and very warm in the evening. 2 sun loungers + umbrella cost €15-€20 per day from ‘private entrepreneurs’.

The only point of contention for Exotica is the outdated decorum of the hotel, however it outweighs this factor up in all the positives it offers. Perhaps longer operating hours on the swimming pool would also be nice, but there is always an option to visit the sea, so it’s really not that much of a sticking point.

The property offered a clean, pleasant environment. Daily towel exchange,two clean swimming pools and a toddler pool, ample sun beds and a poolside bar. Do not think it is far from the sea - it’s only a ~8 minute walk, filled with various tour and rental options, as well as small shops selling food and drink for the beach. The staff were extremely helpful, and a special thanks goes to Elza and Petros who were particularly friendly in conversation and helped us figure out what points of interest to visit.

We stayed only 1 night before starting a villa holiday, the staff were friendly, the food was plentiful,varied and tasty. There was no fighting over sun beds as there were plenty. Our room was large & well equipped. It's an easy walk to the beach or the shops and cafes in the other direction.

The food was pretty average. You can always find something to eat but choices are limited. We opted to eat out of the hotel most of the time because there is so many great restaurants nearby. Only 1 bar open at any time, pool bar in the day and main bar open at night. Would be nice if you could get a drink in the main bar during the day as well.

Location is brilliant. Right in the middle of Kalamaki with restaurants, bars and shops all around the hotel. Very short walk to the beach. 5 minute taxi from the airport. Room was nicer than I was expecting and beds were comfy. If you’re looking for a base and want to go out exploring the island everyday this hotel is perfect.

CLEANING ,very poor cleaning, the floor very dirty, I found in the first day, the sink dirty,even they came to change the towels, the floor still dirty. No hand soap, I had to buy from de local store, no glass where to put you tooth brush, no space to put your shower gel, they had only 2in1 shampoo that smelled horrible, NO HOT WATER, 1 day at all and the rest, if you had 2 shower, the last one, had no hot water the improvisation of the bathroom leaves much to be desired.

Close to many attraction on the island. 10 min from the port zante. The food quite good. Animation every evening.

More choice of non alcoholic mocktails would be nice but there still was lots of choice, and they could always not put alcohol in a cocktail.

The staff worked so hard and they were so joyful. There was great service. The car/quad/excursion rentals were great, and everyone felt very friendly and genuine. The snacks were amazing - pancakes especially. The best thing was that you can go to their sister hotels so you can see the island with a 'base' for the day! The evening entertainment was fun. Breakfast and the juice was very tasty and lots of choice.
