Exotica Hotel & Spa by Zante Plaza

On reading some reviews we were a tad worried about going here ! But wrong we loved it gutted to be home if I’m honest :( I wonder how some people judge as I feel it is just another level of spoiling the good for others. Ok so we arrived there was some confusion over how many of us there were and we were put in a small room with put you up bed but the next morning straight on it once rooms etc were sorted and we were upgraded to a massive one with patio etc it was so lovely so thanx guys only downside was the cleaners could do with rubber wheels lol so noisy very early in the mornings with there trolleys and the noise above the rooms was harsh with scraping chairs all hours rubber feet maybe lol . The food was scrumptious and we’ve put on a ton of weight always something different spoilt for choice , Now the bar man is a grumpy one but understandable being as it’s late season but the lovely Elsa who was always smiling and super lovely well made up for him sorry grumpy bar man my bad She knew exactly what drinks we wanted from day one without asking and made mean cocktails for adults and kids daughter loved that too hubbie misses your skills and your smiles thanx Elsa . Then there was Alexis ,Alex to all the lifeguard which are few and far between in Greece so loved that . Upon reading about said grumpy lifeguard we were again worried but in all honesty that man is a diamond he even taught our daughter who has adhd and sensory processing how to manage and gain confidence in the pool he was attentive and constantly watching for the safety of all so thanx Alexis , we watched children running around the pools etc people need to be more aware of the safety rules as accidents can go bad no fault of him explaining at all ! Even our own lifeguards in the uk deal with things much more harsh . All in all our best holiday yet amazing staff couldn’t do enough for you always happy to help and the place was beautiful what more could you ask for ooh almost forgot it’s brilliant that the planes go right over your heads sounds amazing and doesn’t go on late at night either hope to be back soon missing you all from Carl Char and Harmony in the not so sunny uk

I just came back from the exotica hotel, I had a wonderful time, the staff were all friendly and excellent one staff in particular visi was super helpful and had a great laugh throughout my stay, food was good and there are 2 pools, beach and the ***** was only few mins away so it was the perfect location would definitely return.

I have mixed feelings after arriving home. I knew a lot of things in advance that I can't even relate to afterwards: Pool opening hours 10-18, no animation. We like active holidays. The hotel description mentioned a ping pong table. That's largely why I decided to stay at the hotel. Then on site it turned out there was no table. I won't deny that it was a big disappointment for me. In order to have the daily competition, we went to a paid padel court twice. I always had the feeling that the management of the hotel was saving money beyond good taste. The pool bar and most likely the pool itself closes at 6 pm because the bar staff goes to the main building for dinner for seven hours. In other All Inc hotels where we have been, the pool bar had separate staff. Apparently the pool was open longer there too. There are still many possibilities in the hotel. There is a poorly maintained football field and a tennis court that has been completely abandoned. Why? Why can't normal courts be built there with a smaller investment? I really don't understand.... On the other hand, those who just want to relax and eat well will find what they are looking for. The food is good, the staff is nice, the cleaning is first-rate. The beach is a 5-minute walk, the main street is a 2-minute walk. The main pool is pleasant. For me, this hotel was a hotel of missed opportunities.

Just returned from my third stay at Exotica Hotel and Spa by Zante Plaza with my son and once again it was fantastic. This hotel never disappoints which is why we keep coming back, already booking again this year and again next summer too. The location is perfect, just a short transfer from the airport and close to local shops and restaurants on the main *****. The hotel itself is clean and well maintained with a welcoming atmosphere and friendly vibe. Our room was a great size for the two of us, with a comfortable bed and fluffy pillows - we both slept well every night. This was our second time with a pool view which we definitely prefer. It's lovely to wake up with the sun shining in and a lovely view. The rooms are nice, I've stayed in far worse hotels. The toilet and shower are in separate spaces, which might not suit everyone but it works fine for us and we've adapted easily during our stays. The pool area is great, lifeguard on duty, always clean and tidy with plenty of sunbeds. The pool bar is great with snacks and ice cream available outwith meal times. The food throughout the day was excellent with good variety and specifically enjoyed the themed evenings. The entertainment was good too without being over the top. But what really makes Exotica special for us is the staff. A heartfelt thank you to Visi, Bruna and Elsa who truly went above and beyond for us. Their warmth, friendliness and genuine care made us completely at home - its staff like this that make this place amazing. We cant wait to come back soon.

Great hotel only 500 metres to the beach. Great service both at the reception and at the restaurant with friendly staff. The food is delicious! We really enjoyed ourselves.

We went as a family, it was just under £3,000 per couple for a week, at that amount you expect a certain quality it was really poor, you can see from the images, our room is nothing like how they market it, the food was basic at best, they rotate the same things every couple of days, this is marketed as a premium place to stay, sadly not, the staff were nice, except for the life guard who would not let the kids have any fun unless an adult was in the pool with them no matter if the kids can swim well. Overall disappointing.
