Iakinthos, Tsilivi Beach

Family holiday 2 adults 2 kids aged 17 & 14 and stayed in this hotel for 8 nights. Cant think of anything bad to say but lots of great things. We booked directly and were contacted a few days before arrival to organise a transfer from the airport. Car was there and lots of room- great start. The room was ready (it was about 5pm) and was clean and tidy. We stayed in a family room with a ground floor and mezzanine level and best of all 2 bathrooms. The rooms were cleaned daily with towel changes and there was also a gown and slippers for all of us to enjoy. Fresh bottled water was left every day by the cleaning team. We had breakfast daily there was a lot of choice and if you don’t want cooked there was lots of fruit yogurt pastries toast fresh juice water and lots of cooked choices - you are spoiled for choice and the quality was great - very tasty. We never had dinner in the hotel but saw the bbq being set up and it looked lovely. All of the staff were very nice and the place just seemed very relaxed at all times. There was no race for a sunbed in the morning and drinks and ice creams around the pool were a daily occurrence for us. The sea is amazing and only a few steps away. It’s warm with a few waves mainly in the afternoon and the hotel have paddle boards you can use free of charge. We had lunch here a few times and the setting right on the beach with the breeze is just lovely and the food was always beautiful and plenty! Looking online I thought there would be sunbeds on the beach but the tide was so far in they couldn’t have put any there - not sure if this is a one off or time of year or just the coastline has changed - there was sunbeds on the beach nearby but you had to pay for them so we stayed by the pool and walked down the steps when we wanted to swim. The pool is also lovely and was usually quiet . The hotel provided shower gel/shampoo and small soaps. We also had a kettle and fridge (small freezer compartment) and both bathrooms had hairdryers. We were sad to leave but the transfer back was also just as smooth. The area itself is a lot bigger than we thought it would be as the resort seems to just keep going and there are loads of restaurants to choose from which is why we didn’t eat in the hotel. I loved my time here and we will definitely come back

Had a great week holiday at Iakynthos, Tsvili Besch Hotel this August. Located directly on the superb beach and 5 minutes to the lovely centre of Tsvili where you can choose quiet or lively bars and restaurants. Lots of great experiences with all the staff being excellent, professional and very attentive, swimming pool and bar area always clean, free sun beds on the beach and only a few steps away - though only 12 beds on the beach but plenty more around the pool and always available. We had a standard double room, which was comfortable and cleaned daily, and had a large emperor sized bed, a mini fridge and working air conditioning. The only negative is that the shower is a bit dated and could do with an upgrade replacing the shower curtain with a shower cubicle or screen as the curtain didn't quite fit inside the shower tray so the bathroom floor was wet during every shower and needed a bit of mopping up. The biggest positive experience was the food and having breakfast and evening dinner with that sea and coastal view ☀️ the food was 5 star and the best we've likely experienced in a hotel with large portions and absolute fantastic quality every day! Overall, a great hotel with its 3 star rating with 5 star food and staff! A great hotel in a lovely place of Tsvili. Would definitely recommend 👌

As a family of five, we have been visiting Tsilivi since 2018 and have stayed in a number of hotels. However, Iakinthos is by far the best hotel we have stayed at and hence this year we returned for a second year. It did not disappoint. The location is fantastic on the beach. Standards are high and attention to detail is everywhere with cleanliness great and food and drinks excellent quality. The staff are superb and a big shout out to Violeta, Manos, Florian, Elpida, Zeo, Emma and of course, Nazif who keeps everything running perfectly behind the scenes. Thank you from all five of us. We look forward to returning to Iakinthos next year

We have just returned from a 2 week holiday at Iakinthos Hotel Tsilivi. Our stay at the hotel was fantastic from start to finish. We were collected from the airport in a private transfer for the short 20 min journey to the hotel. Our bags were then taken to our room whilst we had a welcome drink. The staff at the hotel were wonderful and really helped to make our stay special. The service at breakfast and other meals was quick and efficient and all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. This was a massive plus for us! The food was all excellent. We stayed on a B&B basis. The breakfast was a choice of hot food from a menu cooked to order plus continental. They also made us up a breakfast on a day we had an early boat trip. The other food was fresh using good quality ingredients and well cooked. I’m particularly hard to please and had no complaints! There was also a great barbecue ince a week with a selection of meats, salads, puddings, ice cream. Soft drinks, beer and decent wine for 20 euros! The hotel was well located for other tavernas of which there was a great choice. The homemade ice cream was a welcome addition for the girls. The location was fantastic, a few steps from the beach. The beds around the pool were free so there was no need to pay for beds on the beach. We made good use of the free paddle boards! We had daily beach towels. It was a great spot to watch the sunrise. We had a family room for us and 14&12year old. It has a mezzanine floor so the girls had their own space plus 2 bathrooms. We had free A/c and water daily plus robes and slippers. The was a big enough terrace area with a side view of the sea. The only minor issue was there were a couple of services offered online which were no longer available. This included a weekly laundry service and a fish supper night (we like fish so we’re looking forward to this) A leaflet in reception said there was a shuttle bus to Zante town which was no longer available. We did pay 16 euros for a laundry service to save taking as much washing home which was great. If you are looking for a small hotel with a personal touch this is a great option. Thank you to all of the team for making our stay in Tsilivi so enjoyable.

Wow what can I say... the friendliest staff ever!! I love this hotel. Great location on the beach with loads of bars and restaurants close by. The breakfast is delicious and lunch has plenty of choice. The staff Manos 1, Manos 2, Emma,Jeo,Elpida, Violetta,Mary,Zanif, Florian and the lady who cleaned our room daily were all fantastic (really sorry if I have forgotten anyone) BBQ definitely good value for money. Get up for the beautiful sunrise. The only negative I think is inflatables and balls should be saved for the beach and not the pool.
