Sea View Village — Hotel in Zakynthos Municipality

We had a wonderful family holiday at Sea View Village. We had to change to this hotel very last minute after some issues with the hotel we were supposed to be staying at so weren’t sure what to expect but are glad we were changed! ||We came away with our two children aged 6 and 3. My dad and his partner also came and they kindly situated us in apartments next to one another.||We went in May half term and there were more couples than people with children but all the staff made such a fuss of our girls that they felt like royalty. There is a lovely park on site too which they really enjoyed. ||The baby pool was quite deep, definitely not shallow enough for little ones to sit in, my 3 year old could stand in it though. The main pool was lovely but very deep as well, my 6 year old couldn’t stand in it. Not a big problem for us as she’s a good swimmer but could be a consideration if you’re coming with kids. ||Pool towels were always available which was a big help and the pool area was very clean. Plenty of loungers and no reserving politics going on!||Rooms were lovely, the bed was huge!! Kids had their own mezzanine area which gave us our own space. Stairs up to the mezzanine had big gaps in and did make me feel a bit anxious about our younger one - something else to think about if you were coming with very young kids. Also, not loads of storage for clothes and only 6 hangers!||The shower was lovely but water would cover the bathroom floor, I just mopped up with a towel and cleaning team would collect the next day so wasn’t a huge problem but could potentially be slippy. ||The balcony was the highlight of the room - so spacious and stunning sea views. ||Breakfast was great, very relaxed atmosphere and a great selection of sweet and savoury. Beautiful views again. ||We went to the hotel Greek night and had a fantastic night. It was lovely that all the hotel staff joined in too! It was a great end to our holiday. ||Finally, I would definitely recommend hiring a car as the location if you stay here. There is a shop and 3 tavernas walking distance. We used the car to go to a water park one day and Banana Baya beach and Gerakos beach - both beaches were stunning. We also visited some different tavernas in Vassilikos at night which was nice. ||Overall an amazing stay and I hope we will be back some time. Thanks so much to all the wonderful staff who made...

My husband and I booked this hotel through TUI on a B&B basis, which suited us as we wanted flexibility to dine in other establishments, although we did eat our evening meal at the hotel on a couple of occasions and had pool snacks at lunchtime twice.|The room we had overlooked the sea across to mainland Greece and we had a spacious balcony to enjoy an early morning coffee on.|The hotel was just the right size for our tastes, busy enough to have atmosphere but small enough that we saw the same people daily and how lovely and helpful they all were. I dont think I have ever stayed in a hotel abroad where I have been met with such friendly staff. Thank you all.| There were always sunbeds available although I can imagine in the height of the season that may be a little different. The beach was a 20 min walk down a very steep road which actually wasn't as daunting as it first appeared. However, there is a complimentary shuttle service 3 times a day should you require it.|The beach was delightful, sunbeds and umbrellas are available to use for the day on the understanding that you spend a min of 5 Euros per head, which is no problem. A couple of drinks and you're there.|We hired a car for 3 days out of the 7 and the hotel were happy to organise this for us. I think we may have struggled a little without the freedom to explore for those days. |We were able to walk out of the hotel to a couple of restaurants very nearby and enjoyed some wonderful Greek food. (the road is not the greatest, the pavement is not wide enough and is a little overgrown in places, so we would not have been able to go much further in safety which was a shame) If you do go, don't miss the Florida Taverna and the fabulous Marva who is an amazing host. |We visited the west side of the island and thought this to be more attractive than the east side, although Zante town was enjoyable. |If I were to return to Zante, I would have no hesitation in staying and would recommend for couples. It is probably not the place for you if you are looking for full on night life. You would want the Laganas area, but that would definitely not be our choice! There were predominantly Dutch & German guests when we were there mid Sept, but we did smoke out another English couple, amazingly enough from our home town and we have since met up so we had a wonderful bonus on...
