When me and my friend first said we was going to Zante we were meant to be going to the Plaza after a mess up with our travel agent we moved our hotel to the Village Inn.
I am very grateful that I didn;t read these reviews before I went on my holiday as I would of been very nervous! I had an amazing time and their efforts were from their heart.
When we first arrived, there was no reception and we must of looked like muppets trying to find where to find someone! This did not phase me and my friend, who needs a reception really? i am a casual person and having the reception at the bar fely lovely and laid-back.
The hotel manager did take the lead name passport (common in most places now) and then we was shown to our room, we have a shower head that we had to hold ourselves, at first this kind of annoyed me but then 2 mins down the line, I find this highly Greek and took it in my holiday stride!
The room was very clean and safe, lovely views of the mountains and very so clean! We had cleaners everyday that cleaned from top to bottom and very so polite to us (even when we were still in bed with a hangover!)
Yes, the location is not great and as we were on a clubbing holiday it did feel like a long time to walk but if you're going on holiday with the right company the time flies and the walk seemed like nothing when you're all having a laugh! You cannot complain about the heat, don't go in peak heat time if you cannot handle it. The manager was great, notied that one night we was going out and gave us a taxi number that we could trust and told us to stay safe and have a great evening! Top notch!
me and my friend were very fussy eaters and weren't much to the Greek cruisine, Dennis (Hotel Manager) was superb and gave us small poritions of Greek food alongside food that we actually wanted as he said in his own words "I want you to try our food too!" i thought this was great, I got to try their food and if I liked it, I could have it and if i didn't I could pick my own food!
Yes their was a small charge for air con (Isn't this normal?) and also the safety deposit box (also normal...), this did not phase me, after all their didn't even ask for a deposit off us when they knew I was on a clubbing holiday, FANTASTIC.
Music is played around the pool all day, which is always nice and there's a calm essence to the place, i didn't feel intimidated. even though I was on a clubbing holiday I wasn't surrounded by 18 year old (same age as me) so when i'd had a night out I could come back and relax without having loads of other people screaming!
I loved the staff, when I commented on how nice the ladies cake was that she made for breakfast every morning, on our last day she came over to our room and gave us a loaf of her cake each!
All in all a brilliant holiday and I wouldn't hesitate to go back their again!
