Canadian Hotel

3 readers found this review helpful

We booked one week self catering with Thomas Cook, we had n't been to Laganas in the last eight years and we thought this would be an ideal location, close enought to the nightlife of the strip, but quiet enough to get a good nights sleep. Laganas now is really just an 18-30 resort. The Canadian even though being away from the strip is catering for the 18-30 market. If your looking for this type of holiday book it, you wont regret it! Rooms are very modern clean and have everything you need.
If your looking for somewhere that you can have a good nights sleep forget booking here, or probably anywhere else in Laganas for that matter, the whole resort is now pretty much geared only towards the 18-30 range.The Canadian encourages people to be quieter after midnight, however they have their own poolbar that opens from midday until 3.00am the music starts when the bar opens until it closes and can be heard through out the complex.You have to talk loudly in your own apartment just to be heard over the music!

me and 5 of my friends stayed at canadian studios and were dissapointed on arival, our rooms were discusting! cockroach in the fridge! we didnt cook any food in the room as we didnt want to use any of their equipment or cooker! even went and bought plastic cups to avoid drinking out their glasses. We then made some friends and went into their room and it was lovely! completely different to ours so we went and complained about our room to Zoe the receptionist but then was told half the hotel is newly refurbished and half isnt, and she wouldnt let us upgrade to the newer rooms so we was not happy! we didnt have a hairdryer in our rooms which was stated in the brochure and my friends in the rooms next foor didnt have a shower so had to use ours. Hotel pool was fine and there was plenty of sunbeds. Pool bar food was lovely and cheap and alex and antony the bar men were lovely and made some great cocktails! Club reps were useless! dont go on any of the trips especially the bar crawl, as u end up paying more for drinks than normal! the bbq night was really good at the hotel, well worth 13 euros. the hotel itself wasnt too bad just the rooms!

Me and my friend stayed in the hotel for one week in august 2008. We were over charged for such a basic hotel. It was advertised as a 3 star hotel in the brochure. The cleaner never turned up, we had to clean the room ourselves and when she did eventually show up, she walked in just brushed the floor and thats it. The kitchen and bathroom areas were a disgrace, I was very wary of using them. I refused to use the kicthen as it was a disgrace! So we went out every night for food.
When you used the bathroom, you came out dirtier than when you went in.
The hotel is no where near the main strip as advertised, it is at least 20 mins walk!
I would not recommend this hotel, and will definately not be staying again.

3 Girls stayed at the hotel in August, it was by far the best hotel in Zante!
The rooms were very clean, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful at all times.
The hotel was occupied mainly of young people which was great.
The hotel bar was great, served good food at great prices!
The bar man alex was amazing, so friendly and welcoming.
It was a truely amazing holiday, we will definately be going back again!

Group of 4 girls, loved this hotel and resort. It was all brilliant. Would definately go back to hotel...
Hotel is a very lively, but can be noisey at night - with music & people going onto 4am/5am. So for some older couples/families this is not ideal,. I would say this hotel is more geared towards young people only because of the noise at night. But dont be put off, if you are further from bar/pool, it may not be as noisey!! There was a mixture of age groups when we were there and families, and its fine during day - but can be noisey at night! Depends where abouts in hotel you are. we stayed in new part and it was very modern& clean. Not good cooking facilities at all in the room we had, silly little hob, but WE didnt want to cook anyway but some poeple might, very reasonable to eat out, and lovely. can recommend the hotel for food and the Avanti restaurant near hotel, turn left then right. Very good cheap food! hotel staff all very friendly. Cost 40 euros to keep your room on if you have a late flight and its subject to availability!! So not always gauranteed. Ask early.
Greek night /BBQ is quite good, fire blowing & food. for about 13 euros at hotel. Never really had any entertainment at night in hotel, except karaoke, and there was a singer one night.
Laganas resort is lovely and the beach is beautiful.

we had a 2 week stay,the hotel was full of young people, our room was to near to the bar so we heard everything, music, people coming and going as the holiday went on the noise got worse and went into the early hours, running past our room and as it was decking you heard every noise, people singing, shouting, and banging doors, our last couple of nights it went on until 6am, it definately is not for anyone who likes to be up and out early morning. the hotel itself is beautiful the staff are very friendly and could'nt do enough to help you, Laganas beach is beautiful, and their are lots of lovely places to eat especially tasos on the way down to the beach

I stayed at canadian hotel in jul 2007.. The hotel is lovely, its very clean stylish and close to all the bars and the beach. I would advise this hotel for groups and party people in the peak season.. The hotel has a bar which gets quite busy and a good start for the night they has various activities on an eveing including a bbq nite which is well worth the money as they do fire dancing the people who own the bar are helish and really friendly.. The hotel staff though are very rude expecially zoe and the manager phew what can i say very very rude.. I had tour op med hotels i would advise not to go with these as we got put into a different hotel called nicholas which is a block of apartments with no pool its where the staff rent bloody horrible.. They over book the hotel and push you in there we were in there for the first 5 days of our holiday and finally got moved after a very long argument if this happens to you just complain all the time they will move u.. There is a lovely restarant which does a lush breakfast i cant remember what its called but if you turn left out of the hotel and then right its on your left hand side.. Also replay bar is very good fun they have a bowling alley inside.. Overall hotel lovely and i would advise to stay in it youll love it just the hassle we had we would def go back.
