Zorbas Beach Hotel

The setting was stunning and the Adults Only pool area was a godsend. We enjoyed using the pool and the facilities in this area. Our junior suite was spacious and the beds comfortable. The cleaning service was also very good. What seriously marred our stay here was the food- it’s all inclusive. The food, although plentiful, was consistently of a very poor quality. The bread was dry in the morning for breakfast and all cooked items were consistently cold - having sat in the buffet for elongated periods of time. The quality of the cheese and ham was very poor. There was plenty of cake. The lunches and evening meal, again, we’re tepid in temperature and even on the rare occasion something was served hot it was tasteless. We had undercooked pork souvlaki one day from the live cooking station, and completely cold beef spare ribs another day from the same cooking station. Cold pork gyros in bread with cold chips and fillings inside. Nothing, bar the soup, was served at the correct temperature in our opinion and although there was a Microwave to heat up the buffet food it was not easy to use and not always functional. The drinks were also of a poor quality- the daily cocktail on the all inclusive package was usually sickly sweet. The gin did not taste like gin, neither did the vodka. We ended up drinking Ouzo instead. The all inclusive package does not include water, and you are not given milk in your room for your tea and coffee and directed to the supermarket to buy it. Along with the water. We did not actually enjoy any of the food at this hotel, bar the soup, as the quality was so poor and served cold. Quite a problem on an 8 night stay. We went to bed hungry a few times until we decided to go out to local restaurants for our lunches/evening meals. It put a real downer on our stay here. Another thing to bear in mind is that this hotel is predominantly for French people. All the information is only in French, you cannot book a tour at the tour desk if you are not French. And all animation and entertainment is exclusively in French. We were very isolated as English people and not part of it at all.
