We went for a week in August. The owner (Spyrous FUNNY MAN) and girlfriend were always friendly , helpful and would join you in the bar for drinks and a chat .The room was a nice size and kept clean all week.
The hotel was in a quiet and relaxing area with shops and Restaurants just a short walk away. Just 5 minutes walk to a fantastic beach with free bed and umbrellas
The pool was excellent and all other facilities were all you could ask for. We stayed half board, the breakfast and diner were typical Greek food which made a change from other hotels serving chips all the time.
I would recommend this hotel to other families who want a quiet and relaxing holiday..

The staff are lovely and really helpful but you can stay in a better hotel for the same amount of money as there are hidden extras like air con charged at 7 Euros per night! This hotel looks very tired. Pool OK but no cushions on sun loungers some of which are broken.
Though we had booked Band B we went out every morning to The Coffee House as breakfast at hotel was quite awful, our main complaints being: weak instant coffee, no butter - only horrible margarine and tinned peaches? In a country with such fantastic fruit cheaply available why was there no fresh fruit on offer at breakfast?
Secondly if you are completely wheelchair bound this hotel is not suitable. We booked a disabled room for our 2 mothers but there were steps up to the entrance of the front door of their room and you could not get a wheel chair into the bathroom. The shower was not on the wall but hand held so how a disabled person is supposed to cope I do not know. We were told we could put a plastic chair in the cubicle but the cubicle was too small and it was too dangerous. The mothers went half board because of mobility problems and did not enjoy the food. Salad bar the same practically every night and only two main course choices not suitable for vegetarians.
A final gripe, no clean towels for 4 days despite numerous requests absolutely disgusting. Rooms unclean behind headboards and under beds, we found loads of dust, old sweet wrappers and there was mosquito blood on the walls and ceilings.
Won't stay here again. My advice would be if you have to stay here, take your own towels, eat from the bar menu and drink coffee from the bar (extra) and check room is suitable for your needs. We were told there are no baths at this hotel. If you have a car, stay at Joanna's Villas beautiful.

I booked a 10 day break at the Arion Hotel after reading the reviews and expected to be enjoy my long awaited holiday.
The views from the hotel were fabulous, the room was very clean and roomy, sadly the beds were incredibly uncomfortable.
The breakfast was very tasty especially after the memory of the dinner, we had two meals and each one consisted of overcooked very fatty meat, salads and bread.
We made a mental note to eat out in the future, could not appreciate the greek food we had come to savour.
When we tried to venture outside, two beaches were accessible, we looked in the village, we found 2 small supermarkets and a couple of tavernas, there is no where to get money unless you take a taxi to Argassi which will set you back 38 Euros.
The travels which are recommended by the owner cost twice what you would pay in the next towns, albeit it will cost you 40Euros on top and the buses do not seem to exist, I was told that if I was fortunate enough to get a bus, there will be no buses returning.
We also did not find the staff to have the Greek friendliness I have been accustomed to and we decided to move to a more populated area of Zante rather than be miserable in this hotel.

We arrived at the hotel around miday and was greeted with a pleasant welcome from Spiros and Miriam. We were shown up to our room by Alex and was pleased to find we had been given what we had asked for (high floor, double bed & pool view). The hotel was very nice, big airy rooms and a lovely pool/bar area. Breakfast is the same everyday, simple but edible with as much to eat as you want. The bar area is small on the inside but there is lots of seating outside in the shade. Nice for an early evening beer before dinner. All the staff were very helpful and we were always greeted with a smile and a little chat. The day bar staff (I think his name is Bobby) and the day/evening staff Taos & Alex were always readily available to serve/assist you. Many a nightcap shared with all before bedtime.

If you are looking for a nice peaceful holiday then Vassilikos is for you.
