We are just coming to the end of a wonderful week, staying at the Alykanas Beach Grand Hotel.  A perfect resort for a family holiday! Our ages range from six to sixty four years and we are all having a great time. 
Our rooms are clean, well maintained and a good size. The food is exceptional! We are new to All Inclusive and weren't sure what to expect, but we have been amazed at the huge variety of meals, all delicious. Thankyou to all the kitchen staff who work extremely hard, in very hot weather! 
We had a few issues with plumbing and aircon but someone came to sort it out immediately after we had reported it - literally within minutes! Excellent customer service! Also, a lovely maintenance man came to the rescue of my grandson, by cutting through plastic, after he got his finger stuck in a hole in a spade handle!!
The location of the hotel is amazing! The pools and sun beds are just a few feet from the beach and sea. In addition to the indoor restaurant seating, there are other dining areas on the other side of the pool, where we ate every day, right next to the crystal clear turquoise sea. 
The Children's Club didn't seem to have a lot going on but this is possibly because the school summer holidays haven't started yet. I took my grandson to have his face painted and he was the only child there. However, he loved playing in the children's pool, beach and sea so much, that it wasn't a problem at all. 
We walked along the beach to the port and were so thrilled to see huge turtles swimming in the sea. Apart from that, there isn't a great deal to do in this area, but if you are happy to stay at the hotel most of the time,  I thoroughly recommend this hotel. 

A wonderful family holiday! 

I want to warn everyone who will go to this hotel against people who add sleeping peels to drinks. I was attempted to be poisoned by a young girl claiming to be an erazmus exchange student. She stole the key card from my pants and then tried to get into the room. Fortunately, she did not succeed in robbing me. I caution you to be careful and not to lose your attention because you are on vacation.

WARNIG to guests of this hotel !

Brilliant family holiday, spacious rooms, with fridge, safe (€20) kettle with a few teas and coffees air con with remote which worked great and spacious balcony with views to the sea.  
The new bathrooms are fab, but I would love to see a squeegee in the bathroom to direct the water to the drains to help clear the floor quickly.  

For an all-inclusive hotel it’s small with only 132ish room this was the attraction to us. Limited evening entertainment which of the two we saw were good. (A little loud as it Echos down the corridors didn’t seam as bad when you actually stayed to watch)  there is a kids club but not very enthusiastic and we don’t use them really other than the kids disco, which we waited around for one evening but it didn’t happen?  Pool was great, warm  and clean considering we are on the beach ( saw the pool vac in there a few times)  we all had so much fun playing and talking to others. Floties are easy to purchase in local shops we paid €7 for a lilo could complain at all. 

Food at all services was fine,  peek times a little busy but never struggled to find a table, to can take it over to the seaside view area which is lush, lots of pork, but different every night, we are fussy but always found something to eat,  I didn’t see any flys on the food. Kids corner was nuggets, fish finders, pasta chips etc deserts were the normal again lots of choice. Beer, wine, water, orange & apple juice, coffee machine all self service as you want them any time of day. Spirits, cocktails, pop (Pepsi in bottles)  are bar service. Ice cream self service available all day in tubs. 

The beach.. perfection right on the poolside, warm shallow sea with water sports, peddlows, sup, paragliding all on your door step and reasonably priced. The most beautiful experience of watching the two turtles in the harbour, we nicknamed samphire (the big one) and Barney the smaller one coz he had two Barnacle patches on his shell head to the harbour Just 5min walk along the beach to the right as you look out to sea. Just magical to see don’t miss this opportunity to see them. Wait around, look for them coming up for air, we saw then at different times of the day just be patient. 

Location, plenty of lovely restaurants, bars and shops and a couple of supermarkets in Alykanas, (lots more than a handful which is what I’d read) and if you turn right out of the hotel you go to Alykes again lots more of the same.
We did a pony and cart ride on the first evening to get our bearings this really did help to see what was on offer in the area and only €20. ATM right outside the hotel and at spar supermarket 2 min away. 
I have to mention dilemma bar, just outside the hotel great service friendly and we found reasonable €6-7 for a cocktail, play area for the children including crazy golf  air hockey to entertain the children and sports for the big kids. We had evening meals a couple of times at the restaurant with the birds outside began with a C… , the lads there where great and a meal was €12-20 we had to return for the saganaki starter. 
We booked a boat trip locally Adults €30 / children €15 all included, we hopped on a coach down to the boat 25min 45 min at sea looking for turtles, over to turtle island  for an explore and swim (icecream boats there) and another swim by the caves. I get a little sea sick, but not at all on this one it was nice to had the stops and starts. 

All in all we loved it here, we are a family of 3 early 40s with 7 year old. we would return in a heartbeat thank you to all the lovely people who made or stay so special, you’re all work so hard, housekeeping, maintenance, kitchen, waiting & bar staff  & lifeguard.. you made our trip back to Zakinthos after 20 years even more memorable we won’t be leaving it this long again that’s for sure. 
 
Thank You Team Alykanas Beach.

Fabulous

We had a great holiday. The location and scenery are fantastic and the hotel was very good. Rooms were clean and well maintained and the food was very good at every meal, with plenty of choice. All the staff were friendly and worked very hard. Not everything was perfect and if you go looking for things to complain about you will no doubt find them, but our attitude was to make the most of all the good things and live with any minor things that could be better...life's too short!
If I had to suggest one thing to change it would be the music played around the pool. As a previous review mentioned, some of the music was like being in a nightclub! I like loud music, but when I'm lying on a sunbed I want to relax, not listen to constant drum and bass! It was easily solved by finding a sunbed further away from the pool.
We will definitely return and hope the music is turned down!
