Pool

Not a long journey from the airport. Check in was fast and efficient. We had 2 rooms that accommodated 3 people in each. The hotel was spotless and the staff very polite. 

For us as a family the only thing that let the hotel down was there wasn’t a great choice at meal times (all inclusive) for children. There were no pancakes or waffles served at breakfast which we have become accustomed to at other hotels when on an all inclusive package and very little for fussy eating children to choose from on an evening. (No chicken nuggets or pizza etc) 

The all inclusive drinks (cocktails) were an acquired taste.. there was no usual “s@x on the beach or pina colada.. just a large list of made up cocktails that to me tasted like alcoholic Ice pops. 

There is no entertainment on an evening and no music playing around the pool. ( which will be heaven to some people) 

The walk into Laganas isn’t the best as there are no footpaths when walking on the roads and if you drop down to follow the beach you end up walking over stones/rocks in places and either have to walk through the sea at one point or walk up hill through a beach bar to join the road. 

This is a lovely hotel but unfortunately the  food aspect has ruined it a bit for us.

Family of 6

A really lovely hotel, the appearance and attention to detail in this respect is excellent
It looks as it is in the photos
Big balconies around the pool
Cleanliness is outstanding
Staff are so friendly and helpful
Pools are very good not too cold, beware though one of the children's pools is up a flight of steps on the split level
Plenty of sunbeds no one reserving early morning
Rooms cleaned every day and fresh towels every day
We requested a higher floor in advance and hotel were able to accommodate this.

However there is a lack of the attention on the elements that make a holiday
Food Luke warm at best and very repetative, I have had worse, but needs improving
Dining staff very quick to keep tables clear, but hard to catch one of them to get more than one drink with dinner
Distinct lack of comfortable seating for a drink in the evening hard plastic chairs around the large pool some people even had to sit on sunbeds
Skyfall bar almost always empty, what a waste of a nice seating area.  Why not combine the two, if they had we may have been tempted to buy a few premium drinks
A safe is 20 euros a week, and ridiculously high up in the cupboard if you're under 5'6 forget it you can't reach it, even standing on a chair. Who planned that, my husband is 6.4 and could only just see inside of it and that is not an exaggeration, definitely needs fixing
Towels for the pool, glad I saw the reviews before I left, we took our own
All inclusive drinks not very good, terrible cocktails, sickly. choice of other drinks poor, but bar staff are great and work very hard.

I would probably stay here again, there was nothing else I saw in the resort that looked as nice,  but I would not go all inclusive.

Just to add the resort of Agios Sostis is a delight, clean and very unspoilt plenty of places to walk, But beware if you have walking difficulties, the only road to Cameo Island is down a very steep bank, no path.  A taxi would cost 8 euros to go less than half a mile.

Can highly recommend a couple of local tavernas just outside the hotel, Porto and El Greco.  Amazing people run these and the food is excellent in both

Really nice, but a few changes would make it fantastic

We stayed at the Zante sun Resort in May and would highly recommend this hotel, myself and 21 year old daughter travelling for her 21st.

Hotel is spotlessly clean and the friendly staff work very hard to keep it this way. The hotel seemed new and everything was fresh and modern.

Our room was lovely , overlooked the pool and as mentioned very clean. Although there is a fridge in the room no bottles of water were provided which you usually get in all inclusive. Also our 'double bed' was two singles pushed together, we separated these as I was holidaying with my daughter and although beds were comfy they were very narrow! Daily housekeeping and fresh towels provided .

Food - the buffet was super, always hot, well labelled and something for everyone (well unless your extra fussy like some other reviewers !!). Different choices every mealtime. One other review commented that they were disappointed no waffles / pancakes in the morning , or pizza in the evenings . We had these options, not every day but as I said different choices each day. Only negative if you want to be picky is that the hotel doesn't offer any other dining options apart from the poolside snack bar (which is very good also).

Hotel has three pools, the two main ones do get quite busy and can be hard to get a sunbed if you don't reserve early, we came back from a trip at mid-day and had to wait two hours until we were able to lie by the pool as no loungers available. 

Hotel is well located , we walked everywhere.  5 - 10 mins to Cameo Island and about 20 mins walk down to 'the strip' .
Just across the road from the hotel is a small supermarket which is well stocked with everything you may need and there's several bars / restaurants within minutes if you fancy a change. 

Couple of small negatives (which some may think of as positives) - no poolside music, the bar does play music but we were over the other side of the pool and could hardly hear it , and there is no evening entertainment , after you've eaten there isn't really anything to do . Pool bar is open and is nice but a bit of entertainment would have been good.

Beach / pool towels can be provided at a cost, 3 euros a day per room but you have to hire for the whole week. So be aware and if you want to avoid this charge take your own towels.

Also 49 Euro Tourist Tax charge per room on arrival .

Not sure this would be the best hotel to choose if you had children unless they were very small as there isn't an awful lot for them to do . Its a lovely hotel but more geared for a relaxing holiday as it is quite quiet. Although as mentioned within walking distance of the busy and bustling 'strip'.

I certainly would visit again we were very well looked after and had a lovely week at the Zante Sun.

Fantastic hotel for relaxing break

Had a fantastic stay here. The staff were really friendly and very helpful.  We had a problem with our fridge but they worked on it until it was fixed and kept us updated on what was happening. The food was very good and very well presented with the restaurant manager making sure everything was kept in order whilst ensuring guests had everything they needed.  Him and all the waitresses were very welcoming and during lunch and dinner brought bottles of water to the table and took your drinks order.
We used the small pool at the back of the hotel and were always able to find a sunbed and  at the snack bar there was a lovely lady that served the drinks and kept the area tidy.
We had lunch a couple times at the main snack bar and that was also good. We really enjoyed the fruit cups which were filled with all kinds of fruit and the toasted sandwiches and burgers that were made to order. Again the staff at this bar/snack bar were very friendly. 
The rooms are very modern but my only complaint was there were no drawers to put anything in . They were cleaned every day.
It is very quiet in the evening but you get used to it and we had brought a pack of cards with us so we were okay.
We visited Cameo Island and my husband enjoyed his swim in the sea. It's 5 euro and you get a souvenir keyring. The little beach does get busy so best to go early.  We also waled to Laganas a couple of times and enjoyed a drink on the seafront. 
All in all we had a great time and would definitely go back.

Great holiday

Myself and my partner have just returned home after 10 nights at the Zante sun hotel. We have had the most amazing time on the island with an exceptional stay at this hotel. 

Upon check in we were greeted by very polite reception staff who made check in very quick and easy. Although our room was not available till 2pm we were able to leave our cases and use the communal changing rooms and the bar facilities.
Our room was immaculate and so modern with tea/ coffee facilities and a mini fridge, we were also lucky enough to have a room over looking the pool.

All staff are very polite and welcoming especially the gentlemen who greeted each guest upon arrival to the restaurant and the two bar staff working on the rooftop bar who were so polite and attentive. I wish I could remember the gentlemen’s name who worked on the rooftop bar as he was a total asset to the hotel who even made cocktails that were not on the menu for my partner who does not like the usual cocktails and prefers rum. 

The restaurant had plenty to offer from appetisers to main courses, desert fridge and ice cream freezer. The hotel did try cater for many tastes and did also provide chips / basic food. Myself and my partner are not picky eaters and we found that all the food was very nice with plenty of options including international cuisines. 

Overall I would definitely return to zante sun hotel please do not read the bad reviews :)
