I have just finished my week-long stay at this fantastic hotel in Zakynthos! The hotel is located in a charming neighborhood, close to a supermarket.The location is absolutely perfect—right on the beachfront with stunning views of the crystal-clear sea. My room was newly renovated and had a gorgeous view of the sea. The receptionist was kind and always ready to help with any requests. A special mention goes to Adriano, who served us breakfast every morning with a smile ;) One of the highlights was the excursion to the famous Shipwreck Beach, which was simply amazing.To top it off, the hotel surprised us with a small gift during our stay, which made the experience feel even more special. I can't recommend this place enough; it's the perfect hotel for a relaxing and memorable vacation in Zakynthos! Ilenia and Giulia 🇮🇹

I would have added a few more options for breakfast

Delicious breakfast every morning in a perfect setting. Attentive and kind staff. Our room was serviced daily, and there were lovely products in the room and a very comfortable bed, and great to have a fridge in the room. Perfectly located with parking. Exceptional value.

The bathroom had a fantastic shower but maybe could have done with some hooks to hang the towels on. Literally that is the only thing!

Excellent location near two nice small swimming beaches, many cafes & restaurants close by, and a mini mart too. The views of the harbour are lovely, and we enjoyed a wonderful sit down breakfast each morning on the restaurant balcony watching the boats & view. We loved the free boat trip to Navagio Beach & beautiful blue water swim spot…..that was a highlight. We would definitely stay here again if we return.

No faults at all.

Honestly, I've expected a completely different standard from a 2 star hotel. So we had a nice surprise - a spacious clean modern room with a balcony and a sea view, big comfortable bed and a beautiful bathroom. Staff is very polite, welcoming and responsive, always with a smile. Plentiful breakfast to order. Free tour to Blue Caves and Shipwreck is a great bonus!

It has nothing to do with a hotel, but the place itself (inspite of all the reviews I've read) is a busy small port rather than a quite small beach. The boats to Blue caves are coming and going all the day, a smell of petrol is in the air and you can see a film on the water surface, so it's hard to make yourself going swimming there. That is no problem when you have a car and can drive up to the North for 10 min and have a swim near the Windmill, where you have really nice blue clear water and a nice cave.

The room was good, but as we were traveling in 3 and they only have double rooms, we were able to pay for an extra bed, which is a camp bed, really uncomfortable, but better than paying for an extra room. This is a not-so-tourist area, but in my opinion, it is much more beautiful than the main point in Zakynthos, we were able to find everything we needed nearby, like restaurants, markets and all. The hotel also offers a free boat trip to the famous Navagio beach, which is quite cool, as the trip normally costs around 30 euros per person, so it is really helpful. I would recommend to rent a car to stay at this point, because it is easier.

The breakfast was not good, they make you choose among eggs/chocolate croissant/ or fruit, so you were not able to have a full breakfast as hotels normally offer.

The room was equipped with a mini fridge and enough shampoo, conditioner, body wash etc to last 6 nights. The housekeeper kindly changed my towels every couple of days. The room was just the right size for me and the bed was comfortable. The balcony view is superb. Looking straight out to the port of Agios Nikolaos and when you leave the hotel, the port is quite literally on the doorstep. All the staff (reception, housekeeping, and waiters) were so kind and friendly whenever we met in the corridors. I definitely recommend La Grotta.

When I arrived I was met by the receptionist despite the late hour - which I appreciated- however, I stayed in a room on the ground floor for one night which wasn't the room I had paid for. It was not quite as nice and it meant I could not unpack straight away, therefore, only a small inconvenience. Apart from this, there were just a couple of minor cleanliness issues e.g. a fly or two on the wall, and mini fridge water accumulation.

The property was really nice. The room looked very good, and we had view to the sea. The stuff was really friendly with us and very careful. We had also breakfast included, that was great. They have free sunbeds on the beach and also borrow us an umbrella for the sun.

Only good things to say. ☺️

Perfect location. Great room (301) with lovely view and balcony overlooking the main street and towards the sea. Super value. Very clean. The team at La Grotta were lovely, so friendly and made me feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The coffee at breakfast was superb which surprised me as hotel coffee is usually mediocre.

Would have been nice to have a menu at breakfast. Balcony seats were uncomfortable.

We were lucky enough to spend 5 x nights at La Grotta in May 2023 and it was a special trip for our family. From the very first moment we booked online, Natalia was so kind in giving us advice (to our many questions) prior to our arrival :) She helped us organise a surprise birthday lunch for my husband, including booking the restaurant and getting a cake with his name on it for us! It all went perfectly, Natalia is an absolute asset to La Grotta. The on-site restaurant is lovely too, with a delicious menu and breakfast every morning was wonderful, with lots of options for everybody. There were 5 of us travelling together, we had rooms next to each other on the top level, with adjoining balconies and a view to die for - We had so much fun and we can't wait to go back one day!

clean cheap cheerful

charming village located on seafront / view & breakfast spoiled by frequent petrol / benzine smell from petrol tanker (stops outside to trans-ship petrol to smaller trucks) and from motor boats who stop to fill up with fuel using large jerry-cans from the local petrol station.
