We arrived to see a beautiful reception / bar area and we were allocated our room – G103. We headed off to find it and were shocked when we saw inside. It was so tiny. You could not open the fridge door all of the way as it banged on the end of the bed. I still have... more

Kalamacki really unspoilt village adorable
After reading the reviews and looking at photos of the aprtments i was a little worried to be honest. When we arrived there was aproblem with our room aparently our name s wherent on a list which should have been provided by the travel agent, their fax machine was broken and after an hour long wait we eventually got our room sorted.. The rooms were clean thought clean sheets would have been provided ever couple of days but they werent.. The cleaners just made our beds everyday which i thought was a little silly. Hot water was only obtained at certain times so was a little dissapointed with that .Overall thought it was an alright place to stay... Not very Irish friendly.though.....
cavo D,oro
stayed at the cavo from 17th untill 24th may, basic rooms, good base for travelling. Towels could do with being replaced as seen their better days. Maid came in every day but just to make beds. We had room facing pool, bit noisy if you wanted to have a siesta in afternoon. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Had a lovely time in kalamaki, beach gorgeous.
nice place
we have just stayed at the cavo dora in kalamaki,i was a little concerned about the things i had heard about this hotel,but from the 20th may o7 to the 28th may 07 we stayed there it was just fine the rooms are a good size we had a nice sea view the rooms where clean it was a pleasent place to stay,close to the beach,the pool was nice to.a couple of tips if you have a early flight the next day you must be out of your room by 10 am the day before and if you want to keep your room on untill you leave they will take a nice 40 euro of you a rip off but all the hotels do the same,and the other tip the chrystal beach hotel five min walk from cavodra hotel you can use there sunbeds and there pool and its lovely it looks over the beach,and you can get down to the beach for a swim,the beds on the beach are 7 euro,happy hols.
Ignore all previous comments about hotel
After reading all other reviews, we were slightly concerned about staying at this hotel, but we were really surprised when we arrived. Rooms are basic but had everything we needed, pool was really clean, room cleaned everyday hotel staff were brillant, really friendly and helpful. The hotel is well looked after and clean. We went as a family and had a really relaxing time, hotel food was excellent for snacks by the pool and the resturant across from the hotel was fantastic. Would really recommend this hotel if you want a quite get away with the family, really good for children and the beach is only a 5 min walk from hotel. Not much to do at this resort, so if your looking for a party holiday this isn't the place for you. This is a place for relaxing.
all new
All reviews prior to 2007 ,please ignore. Hotel had a total refurb,we stayed first week of season and everything brand new,pool tables in the bar,sunbeds round pool to the kettle and toaster in the room!! We stayed in a 2 bdrm apt,which wasnt an apartment in itself more two separate studios joined together so each had a bathroom,which is a wetroom. Staff great, we had a problem with one toilet in our room instead of saying make do with the other one,plumber out within an hour,replaced the cistern,then a follow up call from reception to make sure it was fixed!! We had our 18mth son with us and there are no lifts ,so the buggy was carried up steps alot,(steps to the pool and reception) and no access for wheelchair users.this is stated in the brochure though. All in all a fab time pool area great all sunbeds and parasols,childs pool,bar and staff fantastic at both bars ,pool and front. We found restaurants on the strip next to the hotel better than those on the main strip,MISS Mermaids .WORST meal we had,obviously going on reputation,which they wont have much longer!! Few others said the same.Best restaurant we found was Stani,which is overlooking the beach past the Crystal hotel All in all dont worry abour previous reviews hotel is great now. Good value for money!!
Good hotel
We spent 1 week at the cavo d'oro whilst the world cup was on and were pleasently surprised. basic yet comfy rooms with tv and good balcony. The hotel showed English TV and had Xbox 360's and playstations as well as internet, the roof garden was lovely and the pool a decent size. Great location close to beach with lots of other bars and eateries around. Only downside was a couple of fellow guests, obviously more interested in Laganas created a bit of disturbance one night which never happened again. More suitable for singles or couples than families, a pleasent holiday
what a dump!!
Room got cleaned once a week. Towels got changed every other day, we had to make our own beds when the linen was changed!! Had ants all week, and complained 3 times about them, we didn't even eat in the apartment. Could hear next door talking through the vent in the bathroom.
Awful
Don't go there! holes in linen and towels, unfriendly staff, expensive drinks and air con. Breakfast was very basic, consisted of one roll, a piece of plastic cheese and a slice of ham EVERY morning! room was very basic too, very loud in mornings due to young kids shouting around the complex at 5 .30am returning to hotel rooms from clubbing.
nice resort shame about the hotel
We arrived at the cavo d'oro hotel on the 18th may 2006. The first impression was the reception we got on walking into the hotel lobby. No smiles, just a curt can i have your passorts, then a stiff, you go through there and to the left past the pool and you will see your room. There is no porter to help with the luggage, so if you are disabled in any way, think twice before booking the cavo d'oro hotel, there are steps into the hotel and unless you specify a ground floor room, don't expect to be moved later to a lower floor, as the two elderly ladies who stayed next to our room in G3 top floor found out. The rooms are very basic and the linen leaves a lot to be desired, our towels were grey and the ones the two elderly ladies got had holes in one of the towels. One of the beds in our room was put together with the bottom of the bed placed on upside down, when i told reception about it the person just shrugged and said any thing was possible in greece, although it was fixed the same day. Don't expect to recieve messages at this hotel, as we found out after we had booked a trip and the time was changed to a later time. Reception refused to phone our room and refused to give us a message, saying it is not their job to take and deliver messages to guests of the hotel. After i had a few not so pleasant words with the receptionist, a notice appeared to say guests of the hotel should not expect to receive any messages from the people on the resort who sell the day trips. Be aware also if you have a late afternoon flight you must vacate at 10.00am with no guarantee of a courtesy room. The impression we had of the hotel was that the guests were an evil neccesity that had to be put up with until it was time for them to go home. On the plus side the pool was well maintained and the pool bar owner and his staff were very nice with everyone. there were plenty of sun loungers and it was clean. the food at the pool bar was good. The cavo d'oro bar which is leased to a very nice couple, had plenty going on in the evenings, and everyone was made to feel welcome. The excursions the reps organise are a lot more expensive than the ones you can get on the streets, but the downside to the street excursions is you don't get to see as much as you would with the reps excursions, the choice is yours. We had two excursions, a day trip around the island by bus, a great way to see the Island, and a half day sea trip to see the trurtles and visit the smaller islands and caves. Both were every enjoyable the coaches were airconditioned and the tour guide very informative about the Island and its history. To sum up, Kalamki is a quite resort ideal for families or the more mature traveller.
loved the place
The hotel was spotless the staff fantastic, friendly with out being to in your face. Our son had a great time on the x boxes on a night when we were enjoying quizes and bingo, with just a short walk to a loverly beach. there are countless places to eat all around the hotel with bars and clubs just a bus ride away we would recommend that any one to go there but as specially if you have childern Kalamaki, Zakynthos is a great places to visit all round.
