Everything faultless

Excellent in all ways. 10 yards from beach. In the centre of Stalis. Two wonderful pools next to the beach. Only had breakfast each day. Plenty of choice and good quality. Staff all excellent especcially Parvu and Alexandra in restaurant. Very friendly and nothing was a problem. If in Stalis again will definitely return to Zephyros

Zephyros Beach Hotel

Zephyros Beach Hotel is in a fabulous location. It's central and on the beach. Breakfast is lovely and the staff are all helpful. I do have a number of criticisms: firstly there is free WiFi only in the reception area. If you want WiFi in your room there was an extra 50 euro charge. Secondly, tea and coffee are provided free of charge, however, only paper cups are provided and our supplies were only replaced once in 2 weeks! Also, there are only a handful of coat hangers in the wardrobes. The pool area is lovely but, unless you're an early riser you won't get a sunbed as guests 'reserve' them with towels. My last, small criticism is that the shower/toilet doesn't have a glass or other type of container for toothbrushes etc. Overall, a good experience but, this is an expensive hotel and is not worth over £100 per night.

Highly Recommended

Fantastic hotel, fantastic location. Right on the beach. Prices were expensive compared to other nearby venues. A couple of beach bars just down from the hotel allowed you to use sun beds on the beach for free, if you were having a drink. To use the ones at the hotel was 10 euros. The breakfast was good but got a bit repetitive, but I suspect that was due to Covid precautions. The staff were all excellent with special mentions to the restaurant and cleaning staff. The room was cleaned daily and the cleaner never disturbed us. Great sea views and nice pool area, there are signs up telling people that they can’t reserve sun beds with towels, or they would be removed, this was never enforced. A bit of a bugbear of mine, either allow it or don’t allow it, but it’s not enough to spoil the holiday. A few external light bulbs needed replacing but again, a minute detail that is difficult to really criticise, but this is a honest appraisal, so couldn’t give an excellent for condition. If you’re thinking of booking, do it, you won’t be disappointed. There weren't loads of other English people there but everyone (guests and staff) were really friendly and could speak good English, so don’t let that put you Brits off.

Stalidas a nice place for an enjoyable holiday

Very friendly staff and all service providers in the area. Most helpful. Food is is good and very reasonably priced. Alcohol was a bit on the expensive side compared to my country ( Malta ). The beach is nice but seems to have nortwesterly winds and make it a bit too wavy and not good to have a good swim. Also residents still have to pay for deck chairs on the beach which i never encountered when staying in hotels in other countries.

Swimming pool is nice with a lot of free sunbeds. Sunbeds at the beach are charged Only at breakfast which was very complete the taste was sometime a bit below par. White beans in tomato sauce was like soup. Lots of oil n fried eggs etc. We did not have dinner But apart from that this was a nice hote that I can recommend.

Our stay

We had a fantastic holiday at this hotel. The staff were brilliant and couldn’t fault them at all. They always had a smile on their face and were incredibly helpful. The hotel was spotless, had good amenities and good food. The rooms were smaller than portrayed in the pictures but they were a decent size. Rooms were cleaned daily and towels changed daily. They even gave us towels for the pool. The beach in front of the hotel was also clean and well maintained. Food was good, somewhat diversified at dinner, but lunch and breakfast were the same which made it a bit monotonous. The hotel is in a fantastic location with easy access to the capital and another beaches. There were a couple of downsides to us: they assigned us the lower ground rooms and didn’t ask us where we want to stay, the showe cubicles were too small and we had to pay for the Internet as there isn’t any free WiFi apart from the lobby. Other than that, we had a great stay.

This was our second visit to The Zephyros and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is so convenient for the beach and local shops and restaurants. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. If we were to make one criticism it would be that the hot food from the buffet was not hot enough. I know it is difficult to keep food hot without spoiling it but we felt improvement could be made. We would like to return again in September but it is very difficult to get a room as it is a very popular hotel.

Not a Boutique Hotel.

The title on hotels.com is Zephyros Beach Boutique Hotel. It is certainly not a boutique hotel! The hotel is comprised of at least three different properties and caters for the Northern European, all inclusive, pacakge tourist. We had a wonderful room which was large and spacious, and removed a little from the huge crowds by the pools, so we very lucky. The boolking through hotels.com actually gave us free breakfast and in a nice surprise, dinners as well. However, the food in the cafeteris style restaurant was quite bland to suit the target market; so we ate out most evenings. There are some lovely restaurants close by, who have been hurt by the advent of the all inclusive hotels, which provide outstanding service and tasty food- try them instead! Overall a nice place with wonderful people, just not what it represents itself to be.

Fabulous Hotel

Hotel amazing very clean, friendly and food was good. Not your typical Greek hotel at all this was up to date. Free air con was a bonus and the shower was attached to the wall not hung over the taps. Only downside was the glass shower cubical very small you couldn't move very well especially washing your hair. Pool area fab and the beach very nice. We were HB which other English couples were but everyone else All Inc. We asked to upgrade to all Inc but we weren't allowed to (all Inc wasn't an option when booking either) this was a little disappointing. Lovely area around hotel and lovely resort. We would definitely go back.

Very Clean Hotel Close to the Beach and Facilities

We had a very enjoyable and relaxed stay in this modern hotel. Picked because it was close to the beach in the centre of Stalis. Also wanted a pool.
