Hotel Macedonia

On first arriving at the hotel, me and my partner we quite pleased will what we found. The receptionist was quite friendly and told us how to get to our room which was on the top/3rd floor. The room was basic, but provided everything we needed, and was extremely clean. A disappointing start was when we wanted the take showers. The shower was at the same height as my waist, and unless you are extremely small, you have to hold the shower in your hand as you wash, which isn't very relaxing. As we had arrived in the afternoon, we... more

Date 15th Sept 2008. Just arrived back from 14 days at the Macedonia hotel in Kalamaki, Zakynthos. On arrival which was early in the morning we were checked in and shown to our room which seemed to look okay,being tired from traveling we decided to sleep for a couple of hours. Beds were made and looked inviting till we lay on them and found that the mattresses were as hard as boards! got very little sleep and were awoken with a start when a plane landing at the airport came right across the top of the hotel. Being almost under... more

We stopped at the Hotel Macedonia in Kalamiki in Zante for our honeymoon. We first went there 3 years ago and decided to go back again as we enjoyed it so much. Since then it has been revamped and we were impressed with the new bar area and air con. The staff are very friendly, the food and drink is great and the place itself is very clean. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be going back next year. Kalamiki beach is great but you have to get there early to get a sunbed. Zepos is the best restaurant to go to.... more

I stayed here with 8 of my friends and we're all around 18 or 19. We booked through Budget Travel and didnt really have many options when it came to our choice of accominidation. It is a very faimly orientated hotel. We felt a bit wierd making noise around the pool or in the bar at night and had to keep extreamly quiet coming home, which you would have got away with in a hotel in Laganas. Be aware the design of the rooms vary from what is advertised, my room was lovely but the room my friends were in wasnt near to the same... more

Was pleasantly surprised by Macedonia. It was relatively cheap for good standard of accommodation, basic but clean. The grounds were particularly well looked after. We had a lovely balcony overlooking the garden and the pool. I would definitely look for an apartment with the same view rather than the ones overlooking the road. The pool bar was a great place for a drink in the evening before heading out to the great range of restaurants in Kalamaki (Mermaids and Buon Amici are really good). Yes the planes fly directly overhead but they never... more

We originally had booked different accomodation, and with a last minute change from thomas cook, we very nearly didn't go. I am so glad we did. The hotel was a little bit basic, but the staff where really friendly and check-in was fast and efficient. Pool bar was great for breakfast and snacks, and the pool itself was a good size and clean with plenty of sun loungers. There is also a play area for the kids. The rooms as I said where a little bit basic, but the 1 bed apartment we stayed in was very spacious with a great size balcony.... more

Me and my boyfriend went here last year on our second holiday when I was 18 and he was 20. We arn't the type to want to go out every night of the holiday but knowing that Laganas was just down the road pleased us. On that note, in the whole 14 nights we stayed we only went to Laganas twice and came back fairly early. There is more than enough bars and restraunts in Kalamaki to keep you happy for a month, but no noise can be heard from the hotel. The prices for food and drink are reasonable, but buying alcohol from the supermarket over the... more

My husband and I had never been to Greece or any of the Greek islands. We picked Zakynthos because of the good reports we heard from other people. They are right. Zakynthos is a beautiful place. When we arrived at Hotel Macedonia we were greeted and looked after by the very friendly and efficient receptionist. The apartment allocated to us was bright and clean.We didn't use the kitchen area at all as we got breakfast each morning in the complex cafe bar The food there is excellent. After We had our evening meals in some... more

I am writing this as when i booked this hotel last minute on Thomas Cook I couldnt find many reviews. When we arrived to the Macedonia, having never been to Zante before, i was pleasantly suprised! I dont know if its because we only paid £125 but i had it in my mind that it would be a bit grotty! How very wrong I was! This hotel is very pretty, with 3 bulidings around the pool area. Ok the rooms - they were a good standard and very clean! Ours had a small kitchenette and two single beds and a small bathroom. (see photos) The... more

As there are no reviews on the Macedonia i thought it might be helpful to add mine even though it is a year old. Flight times strange so that the turtles do not get disturbed - thats fine the turtles should take priority. On arrival there was no one to open the hotel and let us in we all stood round for at least 3/4 hour. Finally got room key. I travelled with my sister and 9yr old daughter. The room we were allocated had a double bed and a single bed. It was clean but very very basic. We had our room changed within an hour and a free... more
