Keri Village & Spa by Zante Plaza (Adults Only)

Wow, what can I say myself and my husband have just returned from a 4 night stay here. We loved every single moment of it, I was slightly concerned after reading the negative reviews as to what we were going to encounter when there but I needn't have worried. Yes the rooms are slightly basic but had all you needed, after all it was just somewhere to sleep, the cleaners cleaned the room and changed the beds daily. My only criticism was the freezing cold pool, it honestly was never warm but again that didn't spoil our time there. The food was lovely and plentiful and a large choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All in all it was a lovely, relaxing break for us and just what the doctor ordered, we will return and are planning our next trip.

We have just returned from 14 nights at this resort and I will give our honest review. Never having been to Greece I didn’t know what to expect. The resort is small, clean and ideal for adult couples. Food was fabulous, check out the show cooking section in the restaurant, plenty of choice for all tastes, meat fell apart, BBQ was a bit dry. Breakfast was a bit boring, could do with some pancakes, waffles or crepes as an alternative in the mornings. We ended up skipping breakfast after 4/5 days when the hash browns weren’t available but that was our choice, there were cereals, cold cuts and hot choices available. Catering team were lovely, helpful and friendly. Rooms were a bit dated, but very clean, cleaning team were lovely. I was ill whilst there and the cleaner for our room changed the bed when I had to visit the private clinic as she wanted to make the room nice and clean, not that it was dirty. Pool was very cold, didn’t venture in due to that, “hot” tub wasn’t hot. Pool bar manned and staff were great. The only draw back around the pool was the lifeguard, aptly nicknamed “Doris Gump”, from her dictatorial methods when on the beds near her, which she kept moving her chair towards, her weird stares, her food in a Tupperware container under her table in the heat for 5 hours from lunchtime, her incessant moving of beds and tying ropes to safety devices and beds, playing music and what sounded like chat radio all very irritating not to mention the staring and watching when you were chatting with others, was not relaxing at all when she was around. Oh and telling other guests when anyone said anything at reception which was highly unprofessional. So if you go do not be put off in that corner by her odd behaviour. Receptionists were very helpful and friendly. Entertainment was basic but broke up the week. Shuttle service was fabulous if you wanted to use it. We have booked again thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks, had a giggle.

Out favourite place for a September holiday. The hotel is in a quiet, peaceful if remote location. We love the intimate, cosy atmosphere and low key entertainment. The staff are hard-working and very attentive. The buffet is small but provides a variety of food day to day. Chef Joe's show cooking is wonderful and the standard of food generally is impressively high. The rooms are clean and comfortable with daily maid service. The bathrooms are dated and could do with a make-over but are very clean. We have already booked to return next September.

Keri Village Hotel is situated on a hilltop and is very remote. If you are someone that likes to retreat into the countryside and like to be isolated, then this is the place for you for that escapism. The views are stunning, panoramic views of the mountainous regions, the neighbouring hilltop village and the sea. There isn't much to do at the hotel other than laze around the pool all day. There are no direct hiking trails if you are feeling adventurous to walk down to the beach. There are direct windy hairpin roads to the beach but I wouldn't say it would be safe to walk up and down it as no footpaths. Plus it would be a trek particularly walking back uphill and in the blazing heat. The hotel runs a courtesy shuttle mini bus however to and from Keri Beach 4 times a day. Hotel pickups are 10am, 1pm, 3pm and 5.30pm. (Return pickups are approx 10.10, 1.10, 3.10 and 5.40). It only seats 8 passengers BUT the accommodating driver will put on additional shuttle runs to and back if there are more passengers. This is a godsend as there are no public transport that goes to the hotel. At Keri Beach there are car, quadbike, bike rentals though so there are options if you are prepared to want to drive or ride. The hotel itself , the accommodation is in chalet type buildings. Our room was basic but spotless. The domestics cleaned rooms with fresh towel changes daily. I would say the room we had requires modernisation to make it like a 4 star. The bathroom was generous in size but the shower was small. The bar area in my opinion requires a total refurbishment . It was somewhat soul-less but has great potential for upgrade investment. There is adequate A/C in the bedrooms and in the bar and restaurant. Food was of relative variety. Breakfast a choice of hot and cold food. Lunch and dinner again a variety. Salad bar, always a meat dish, vegetarian and fish. Then a couple of show cooking selections each day during lunch and dinner. If you are a vegan though, you will struggle and they don't have dairy free milk either. Greek night was one of the best and the bbq night. I would say overall the food was of reasonable quality. As with most A/I, the alcohol is non branded. They serve a selection of cocktails at the pool bar during the day and the indoor bar in the evening. They have beer and wine dispensers but the quality was poor. I stuck with cocktails of which in my opinion some were quite strong. You are provided with plastic bottles in your room on arrival so you can simply fill them up with water in the restaurant or any selection of their soft drinks etc. The filter coffee from the machine wasn't too bad but they also had individual coffee sachets if preferred along with a small selection of teas including herbal. This hotel daily has continued departures and arrivals so there is constantly different guests arriving each day or leaving. We never had any issue of getting a sunbed regardless of time and we didn't see anyon

DO NOT LISTEN OR TAKE NOTE OF ANY BAD REVIEWS!! Absolutely stunning fantastic place! My wife and I still looking at our photos and talking about our holiday. Brilliant tranquil stunning views. Fantastic food! How could anyone not love the food. I was in meat feast heaven! Fantastic room. Over looking the mountains. Excellent staff.

Recommend this hotel/holiday to anyone. Entertainment/music great fun. My wife and I love this place. And the life gaurd is brilliant!! Will 100% be going back.

We went once 6 years ago and have just got back from another lovely week. Perched in the hills overlooking Cameo Island and "Turtle Island" I spent many times on the decking overlooking this incredible view which last time was obscured by the trees, lost to fires since our last visit. Beer in hand, chilling with the view and the calmness of it all. I was more very happy with the food. Normally 2 or 3 meat (always tender) choices as well as a fish option, often baked and very soft. A fresh pasta option and a couple of vegetable options and potatoes. They have recruited well, staff are happy, attentive and engaging. My shower head broke one day and it was replaced the same day. Cretian beer and wine on tap in the dining hall. The red wine was a bit ropey in my opinion but the rose and white, nice enough! The poolside bar serves drinks between 10 x 6 and the bar in the lounge / TV area takes over then until 11. Evening entertainment seemed to be every other night and was a mixture of Greek dancers, fire eaters with feet that could walk on broken glass, a band, DJ and karaoke etc. Wouldn't hesitate to go back. Thank you.
