Hotel George And Dawn Reviews

We booked our holiday last minute and were a little apprehensive as to where we were going..as it was we were first off the coach at a 20 minute drive.WELL WHERE DO WE START........
To our joy the George and Dawn Hotel was beautiful, a lovely turquoise colour and it was spotlessly clean and new.
We were greeted personally by our hostess Dawn, who is married to George, she was marvelous, we had a choice of rooms we chose an end one with two balconies!!!! spoiled or what? even though we were 3 hours late to arrive, all rooms have mossie nets over the patio doors so you can sleep in the cool in the night without getting bitten.

Bottled water was available to buy at a competitive price from Dawn at reception as were phone cards, fans and safety deposit boxes were extra; but they only have two maids and nothing was touched at all whilst we were there, Sophia one of the maids/cleaners is lovely even though she speaks no English, she was very friendly.
This Hotel is about 10 mins stroll along a flat road to the beach front, but the Hotel serves fantastic food especially Dawn's English Breakfast and was very good value for money, all the food was nice and it was never too much trouble for Dawn to cook you something.

The pool is beautiful also and a lovely shade of blue, and they both George and Dawn keep the place spotless, you can sit by the pool and have breakfast in the morning from 8 am....Dawn will make whatever you fancyto eat all day after that.
The room was excellent it was self catering and had everything we needed including a new fridge, we had a new shower with a cubicle i might add, which is unusual in Greece in the bathroom. All rooms had balconies which all overlook the pool.

The guests were a mixture of Dutch and English but there was never any noise at night and as the Hotel is only two floors high there was a ramp up to the second floor.
The amenities fairly close by are good there is a restaurant next door which if you ask Dawn she will give you a card for a FREE HALF LITRE OF HOUSE WINE!

Just down the road is the sea front and all the taverna's who will welcome you in with open arms even if you go every evening all the taverna's were serving fantastic food...
I would recommend the turtle island trip and Dawn will get you a good deal if you want to hire a car for the day.. watch out for the bread placed on your table at meal times, it is given without request and if you eat it, it's up to you, but it appears on your bill as service charge, however if you dont eat it the service charge it is still on your bill...so you may as well eat it.

The best buy we got was from Laganas which was a huge sea sponge..it was 3 euro's and was giant.
If you go into Zakynthos itself it is a main road full of shops for tourists.. and it is a 20 minute walk along the beach.. even those who cant handle greek food will enjoy it here there is a McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut!! walking along the beach brings you to a bridge and a tiny island its a steep walk up but its a sun spot once you get up there lovely for a cool drink in the sun, beware teens go there to hang out so if you are going for a peacful time stay away! Mavos/Mathos Tarverna is the best on the front, after you have finished your meal they give you a free Ouzo, dont refuse it like we did the first night enjoy it , theres no catch, your bill is paid they just want you to sit and enjoy the sea view a little longer as you can sit on the beach side of the road on a patio overlooking the sea! and they can do the boat trips to turtle island as well and you can even go in a motor boat alone!We did it was fantastic!

It was the most relaxing and pleasant surroundings we have encountered on a holiday, the Hotel is not suitable for rowdies, it is more for quiet peaceful sunworshippers to go too, and it is run like clockwork.
All in all we had a wonderful time in this little family run Hotel, and will be going back to this beautiful Hotel...If you go mention Karen and Paul from England to George and Dawn and say a big hi from us...
