Isabel's Beach Club & Restaurant Zakynthos — Restaurant in Zakynthos Municipality

me and my partner came here for our anniversary on thursday night. the venue itself is absolutely stunning, it's very aesthetic and gorgeous.

we got seated promptly and settled with the menus and quickly ordered drinks.

however, this is where my one sole grievance occurred. after looking at the website earlier in the day me and my partner understood that we could walk in and get a table (which we had no problem with) however, once we got our drinks the hostess came and placed a reservation sign on our table. understandably i was a bit frustrated for two reasons: 1) me and my boyfriend now felt rushed to get through our meal and drinks knowing someone else was coming after us, and 2) we didn't think booking was an option, although reading some of the reviews it had to be done via instagram. if we had of known this we would have booked via instagram instead.

i do understand however, that this is a newly opened place, so if it had been publicised on their website about booking for instagram we would have done so. also, i would add on that the reservation signs should have been added on before they expected for a flow of customers, or after we had finished our meal and left.

this made me feel upset for quite alot of the meal, and being as it was our anniversary made it slightly worse.

however, the food and vibe of the dj was amazing and the servers were great. i hope that this place does super well and can fix the small things so it doesn't happen to...

If there were a way to give zero stars, this place would earn it proudly. The so-called “beach service” here is nothing short of a circus act – and not the fun kind. The staff member on the sand thinks it’s perfectly acceptable to whistle at paying guests like they’re stray dogs. Charming, right? Nothing says “hospitality” quite like being summoned with the grace of a shepherd calling his sheep.

Prices? Outrageous. You’ll pay top Euros for the privilege of being treated like a second-class citizen. A set of two sunbeds and umbrella (30€)

And then there’s the umbrella fiasco. At the slightest breeze – and I mean the kind of gentle wind that wouldn’t ruffle a napkin – they start untying umbrellas. But not all of them. Oh no, some guests get to keep their shade, others are left to fry like sardines on a grill. Based on what logic? None. Pure arbitrariness, or perhaps favoritism. Either way, it reeks of incompetence and contempt for the customer.

In short: overpriced, disrespectful, and run with the organizational skills of a toddler’s birthday party gone wrong. Save yourself the irritation – there are plenty of other beach bars where you’ll be treated like a human being,...

We had high expectations for Isabel’s, especially after seeing their trendy Instagram. Unfortunately, the reality was a big letdown. From the start, the atmosphere felt forced — we were handed napkins in an awkward attempt to create “vibes”, but it came across as staged rather than spontaneous.

The DJ was honestly terrible, and the music was way too quiet to ever get a real atmosphere going. Even the short-lived napkin/firework moment barely lasted a minute and fell flat. It’s a shame, because the place could have a lot of potential — but it clearly lacks the experience to pull it off. It feels like they’re trying hard to be something they’re just not ready for.

To make things worse, after only two hours, we were asked to leave our table — despite spending €168 for just two people. And as a final insult, we noticed a 10% tip added to the bill without our knowledge or consent. There was no prior mention of this anywhere. That’s not how tipping works — it should be the customer’s choice, not something sneakily forced on the bill.

All in all, a stylish facade with very little behind it. Would not return...
