Filoxenia Hotel Zakynthos

Just wanted to thank all the staff at the Filoxenia Hotel. Reception staff could not do enough for you, bar staff were great fun especially during the day and in the evening. The restaurant staff were polite and always greeting you with a smile. The guys who drove the shuttle bus were full of information if you ever needed help. The village was beautiful and all the locals in the bars and restaurants very polite! GREAT beach which allows you to walk for miles and sea is very safe as you can walk out for some way. Water sports team on beach very helpful also. Just got back from our holiday and missing everyone at Filoxenia! Thank you to everyone at Filoxenia for your company and great holiday! If we had to stay in Greece again I would definitely come back to this hotel.

I would 100 percent recommend the filoxenia hotel. Stayed for a week late October and wished I'd stayed longer. Lovely location a 15 - 20 min walk into the bar and restaurant areas weather was lovely. Rooms cleaned daily food was excellent and the staff very helpful when required. Would definitely return in future thank you filoxenia for a superb stay

What else can I say other than wow! The Filoxenia was absolutely fabulous from the very beginning! We were moved to the hotel from our original booking at another hotel due to the end of season change. We had 2 six year olds and 2 seven year olds to entertain and the Filoxenia was the perfect place! Much better than the original hotel! There is a large family friendly pool next to the animation bar, a medium sized pool at the main pool bar and then a baby pool next to it. There's a brilliant snooker/pool table, table football and ping pong available for people to play. The pool table takes €2 coins only. Our accommodation was stunning. The room was massive with 2 double beds and a single bed. Cleaners are in daily with towels changed every 2 days and linen changed every 3 days. The food was perfect, with a fabulous variety of Greek dishes, English dishes and tonnes of fruit and salad. Soft drinks, hot drinks and alcohol were self serve in the restaurants and readily available in all of the bars along with tasty unlimited icecream throughout the day. We played 3 rounds of Bingo on Tuesday with the lovely Keith after my husband failed miserably at the previous nights quiz! Everyone from the wonderful receptionist Vicky who showed us to our rooms to the brilliant gang of cleaners who looked after us and made the kids feel so welcome on their first holiday were absolutely perfect! I wrote a little thank you note in Greek (thank goodness for Google translate!) Then both myself and my sisterinlaw left our remaining euros as tips to say thank you! We can't wait to come back again! The Tacey Family and The Ekins/Jones Family Room 212 and 213

My Fiancé and I booked this hotel earlier this year, based on, to a large extent, the Tripadvisor reviews. So I was quite surprised and a little concerned to read quite a few poor reviews just before we came. (& indeed, since we’ve been here) We are here now and I can honestly say that our concerns were unfounded. We have found all staff to be very friendly and helpful, the rooms are fairly basic, but we have everything we need, including a fridge, kettle and the surprising addition of a Nespresso coffee machine. The shower is lovely and hot and powerful. The beds are, as I’ve seen on some reviews, quite firm but we’ve found them to be comfortable and have both slept really well. As for the food - all inclusive hotels are notoriously repetitive and often serve cool food but we’ve been pleasantly surprised. It’s replenished regularly so is usually hot, and if not, just wait a little while! There is a 2 week turnaround (so we’ve been told by staff) so there’s been something different every night. If you want a cocktail you have to pay extra but it’s 8€, so similar if not cheaper than in Tsilivi. We have stayed in numerous all inclusive hotels over the years, in various countries and can honestly say that, in our opinion , this one doesn’t deserve its recent poor reviews. Had we not seen them before our visit, we wouldn’t have been disappointed, the hotel is exactly what we expected from those earlier, excellent reviews. We rarely return to a hotel but, should we return to Zakynthos, would have no hesitation in returning here. We still have a few days left of our holiday but would like to say a huge thank you to the wonderful Filoxenia team for making our stay here memorable (for good reasons)

I was shocked that i paid over £400 for 3 nights all inclusive. Id upgraded in rooms. We dont eat at the all inclusive but like to pop in for breakfast and my husband has a beer. This seems ridiculous but they refused me water. And yes im serious. My husband didnt eat a single meal. I dont drink alcohol (maybe one drink but seriously.....i just dont). Well done Filoxenia you done ok. They refused me water. They said the water was ok to drink from the tap. Im a hardy traveller, dont really get sick but i do stick to the rules to be fair. A bottle of water - seriously? Theyd rather i drink vodka than water. Stop being tight hotel owners. And Jet 2 (who i love and use regular....challenge them on this!) And secondly - we came home about 9.15pm and i popped into the buffet to get milk for my coffee and they had nice deserts. I put 2 on a plate and went to leave a waiter literally took it out of my hand and said u cant take these out the restaurant. Like school. More cafe than restaurant.....seriously...this is a rough version of an all inclusive. My husband called it the Fawlty Towers of all inclusives.

Had a lovely stay. Rooms were spacious & clean. Lots of food options, although not many options for vegetarians. All inclusive drinks were beer, wine, spirits & softs, could purchase branded drinks/cocktails. Nice pool area although might struggle to get a lounger when gets busier. Friendly staff. 25min walk to beach through the town

The hotel was quite “old” but was very clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location was good (close to airport and 10 minutes walk you’ll get to a town that has lots of restaurants etc). My remarks are that after 11 pm we couldn't order anything else of drinks. For water we had to pay €1. Even though we booked for an all inclusive stay. The quality of the buffet was ok.

Personale disponibile.

We loved every minute of our stay at Filoxenia. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a welcome drink. Lovely, comfortable king size bed / excellent variety and quality of food & drink. Could not fault the service provided by the staff throughout the hotel - clearly a team effort - special mention to Alan & Spiros for managing the pool bar. Would highly recommend this hotel!!!

A really enjoyable stay in the hotel. Our room was clean, comfortable & spacious. The shower was great too. Breakfast buffet was excellent. There was a 30 walk to the beach & centre but there were plenty of bars/cafes to stop off in. The only downside was the poor WiFi.
