Sea View Village Apartments

Well what can I say? The sea view apartments were everything we were hoping for and more. We LOVED them. Perfect location in paradise. We didn't even mind the cockerel's who had dementia!
They we spotlessly clean and very well maintained and well equipped. They even supply the loo roll! The owners were very helpful too replacing our light-bulb immediately and giving me a brand new tin opener when I asked. They were only ever around in the morning though. The views were wonderful and we were very lucky with the weather, only a couple of mins of rain in the week we were there.
Little supermarket close by which had soft fresh rolls and doughnuts every morning. Cheaper for most things and fresher fruit than the main supermarket in Alykes too! (although not as well stocked).
The best meal we had was at the Piccadilly Hotel, everything was superb. A taxi from the airport cost 23 euros and from Alykes to Alykanas which is well worth a visit was 7 euros. It is in walking distance but after a few scoops much easier to ride home. We so didn't want to leave and can't wait for next May when we will be returning. 10/10.

I booked my holiday at the Seaview Apartments and was surprised to find so little information on them. I read the review on this site which reassured me a bit but I have to say I was a bit apprehensive wondering what it was going to be like. The coach dropped off other people at their apartments and theirs all looked lovely - when the coach pulled up at Seaview there was a bit of a walk from the bus and at first you couldn't see them so I thought that they would be awful - I am delighted to report that they are not. The apartments were beautiful. They had been maintained to a very high standard - all the grout in the shower room was white! The floor tiles and walls were amazingly white. They were cleaned every day and the sheets and towels were changed 4 times in our two week stay. The view from our bedroom was absolutely stunning. Every morning we had breakfast on our balcony with the most amazing view of the pale blue sea and Kefalonia in the distance.
The pool next door at the Paradise apartments was fabulous. It was a tiny walk to get to it and there was never any shortage of sunbeds or umbrellas. The pool snacks were great - the paradise burger is to be recommended as is their fresh orange juice - made before your eyes with fresh oranges! You could walk to the sea from the pool but it was very pebbly - we ended up wearing flip flops to get in. Once in the sea there was a lovely sandy shelf which was very shallow and warm. My kids spent hours there on their airbeds. The staff at the apartments and the pool were excellent. They were friendly but not obtrusive. A sandy beach is only a two minute walk along the pebbly part where we were.
The resort of Alikes was perfect for us - all the eating places were family orientated - not too many bars aimed at singles/18-30's. There was a lovely bakery, supermarket and plenty of watersports. If you want a really busy nightlife with loads of clubs this is probably not for you but if you want lively/family nightlife this resort is ideal. I would recommend the Olympic Kitchen Bar Restaurant for beautiful food and excellent service.
I really enjoyed my stay at the Seaview Apartments and I would definately recommend them to anyone who was staying at the resort of Alikes. In Zante itself there was lots to do from hiring mopeds/quad bikes/cars to boat trips, water sports, water parks, greek nights - I could go on but I am sure you will discover them yourself! We have just returned from a fabulous holiday and if you are thinking of going there I am sure you will too.
