Koukounaria Hotel & Suites

Average 25m pool was nice, but should be open for longer hours. The air conditioner blew right on the bed. The breakfast was substandard compared with other 3 or 4 star hotels in Greece. Staff was friendly.

Average The 25m pool was nice, but did not have opening hours that you would normally expect at a hotel. The quality of the breakfast food was below par of what you would expect at a 4 star hotel in Greece. Overall it was on the level that you would expect for the price.

La struttura risulta molto bella, il personale cordiale e disponibile. La spiaggia dista solo 5 minuti, pertanto la comodità è super buona. Consigliata.

We visited the Koukounaria 21 - 28th September 2024 as a couple. We had room S13 which was ground floor by the hotel entrance. The hotel was vey clean, quiet and pleasant. We found the room to be spacious and very well cleaned daily. The hotel staff were pleasant and very accommodating. On arrival we had to pay (in Euro's cash) a tax of E 49 equating to E7 per night. Why the UK do not do this ! We went for B&B option as we wanted to taste the local cuisine and believe we made the right choice. The breakfast at the hotel was served until 10:30 and was lovely and plentiful in its choice. There were snacks and meals available throughout the day. The pool is large, clean and safe with 3m depth in the deep area if you wanted to dive in safely. The pool area was quiet and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The wi fi was good but maybe because the hotel was quiet at this time of year, however it worked well everywhere during our stay. Weather was great the entire time and we wore nothing but swimwear the entire time and evenings shorts and T shirts. There were mosquitos so take what ever works best for you. A 5 minutes walk down the hill past a bar (Iris bar great fun) and 2x shops you reach the small centre with several bars, restaurants and shops. Enough to occupy for 4 days and the restaurants are amazing. A special shout out to Piccadilly were the food was exceptional. That said the other restaurants were amazing along with desert shops and bars. A further 2 minutes is the most amazing beach with soft sand, clear waters and low depth so you can walk for quite some way. The water was calm, clean and warm with some fish that will come and take bread from you. We had some lovely walks around the area. The beach had a bar named BUCA which had amazing food, drinks and sun loungers managed by Kevin. they brought food and drinks to you and it was all lovely and nice to go back in the evening for drinks. Only 10 minutes walk there is a larger town with many more bars and restaurants. Its ok walk but back when its dark with narrow roads and no footpath we opted for horse and carriage at E 20. There are taxis etc and this is much busier in the evening. We also hired a quad bike for E40 which was amazing to see the island and go exploring to see some amazing sights and beaches. We still felt the one by us was the best. Checkout is 10:00 am and quite expensive to extend. There is however showers under reception and a separate room by the pool and the hotel will provide towels so I would advise you save your money. In conclusion an amazing hotel, great hotel, well located and amazing food and drink with great weather. The weekend we were going bars were closing and some already had at end of season so I would not consider going much if any later in the year. Tips - 1) Women advised to take hairdryer as the ones in the room are not the best. 2) take your own towels for the pool ad beach. 3) TV in room is poor so if you want to watch something or listen

Wir waren 10 Tage im September 2024 in diesem Hotel. Das erste Mal auf der Insel Zakynthos. Vorher waren wir öfters auf Kreta. Bei der Ankunft waren wir überrascht, dass wir eine „Kurtaxe“ in Höhe von 7,00 EUR/Tag bezahlen mussten. Darüber hat uns vorher niemand informiert. Grundsätzlich ist das Hotel sauber und ordentlich, wenn auch etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Das Personal ist bis auf wenige Ausnahmen nicht sehr freundlich. Man hat das Gefühl, dass man als Gast nicht sehr willkommen ist und „Dienst nach Vorschrift“ gemacht wird. Sehr viele Gäste (80-90%) kommen aus Großbritannien. Das Frühstück war gut, für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Nur Vollkornbrot hat gefehlt. Das Abendessen – wir hatten Halbpension – war „Nahrung“. Ungewürzt, wenig abwechslungsreich, „tot“ gekocht/gebraten. Die Preise für die Getränke, speziell für Wein sind sehr hoch. Die „Kellner/innen“ müssten dringend geschult werden. (Man räumt nicht den Tisch ab, wenn Gäste noch essen, man serviert nicht die Hauptspeise wenn der Gast noch bei der Vorspeise ist und man sagt nicht zum Gast „nicht reden, essen“. Übrigens, deutsch spricht niemand aber mit englisch kommt man gut durch. Die Zimmerreinigung war zufriedenstellend, aber nicht gut. Der kleine Balkon wurde in den 10 Tage nicht gereinigt. Man erhält bei der Ankunft 2 Strand- Badetücher. Wenn man diese tauschen will, muss man zusätzlich dafür bezahlen. Handtücher werden täglich gewechselt, wenn man das will. Auch ist es so, dass man auf der ganzen Insel das Gefühl hat, dass man als Tourist „ausgenommen“ wird. Strandliegengebühren bis zu 30.00 EUR/Tag (zwei Liegen, ein Sonnenschirm) wurden verlangt. Wir können dieses Hotel nicht empfehlen und werden unseren Urlaub wieder auf Kreta verbringen.

Another great holiday at this hotel s32 lovely room amazing view's professional staff, spotlessly clean with a great breakfast, weather fabulous hope to see you all again next year for another birthday,don't know how to top this year's stay!
