Lesante Cape Resort & Villas

My husband and I are big fans of Greek Island holidays. We normal travel to one of the cyclades or Crete. We are addicted to luxury newish modern resorts, so Lesante Cape looked like a good option. The location was very convenient, 18min drive from airport, 6 minute to Zakinthos town, 1 hour to Navagio Shipwreck view point, and 35min to Keri Village. We booked 5 nights in a deluxe suite with sea view and the room didn't disappoint. It was modern, stylish, comfortable with lovely sea views. Breakfast was included with our booking and there were no shortage of breakfast options where you can order a la carte egg dishes, and enjoy all the food from the buffet. We enjoyed a seafood dinner at the Novita restaurant. Food was great in general, but I must admit, I think the fish of the day was over priced at €84. We visited the pool area ( top pool that is adult only pool ) almost daily and it was so easy to stay there all day with stunning view to the sea. The gym was also well catered with machines and weights to do some quick training before over indulging on delicious Greek cuisines in restaurants nearby lol The whole property was just stunning to walk around, from the private beach, to its own farm, the museum the church. Service was outstanding. Attention to detail from all the staff members at breakfast, reception and the pool bar. Finally I need to highlight one special male staff at reception who kindly sourced a delicious big box of loukoumi for us to take home. Unfortunately we didn't get his name, but he went above and beyond to help us find it, so biggest thank you from us. We had an enjoyable relaxing stay and hope to come back another time soon.

We had a great time at the LeSante Cape, it’s gorgeous there and the property was truly amazing. The farm to table restaurant was amazing and such a great experience. Niki at the front desk / concierge made our experience so enjoyable, she really went above and beyond and gave us some amazing recommendations for things to do outside of the hotel, and she was always spot on. One word of caution if you are not traveling with kids - there were quite a few kids at the resort so it lacked some of the serenity we were looking for. There’s an adults only pool but people would bring their kids there sometimes, and the family pool is right below the adults pool so you could hear them as well. It would be great if they would make the LeSante Blu the family hotel and reserve LeSante Cape for adults only. All in all we had a great trip and the hotel is one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever been. The spa was amazing as well, one of the best massages we’ve had. Highly recommend if you’re not bothered by kids.

Lesante Cape is a truly special resort with incredible views with outstanding service and gorgeous rooms. The rooms are very large, modern, and beautifully decorated. Our sea view room with balcony had stunning sea views. The balcony was very large with very comfortable furniture. They arranged two boat trips for us on the hotels Targa 52 which was an experience not to be missed. Paros, one of the hotels concierge staff, provided outstanding service, he arranged transportation, our boat trips, and made sure our stay was seamless. Resort itself is beautiful. Breakfast was incredible will the widest variety on a breakfast buffet I have ever experienced with the highest quality. Our dining experience in the resort was also fantastic. I have been to many five star hotels and resorts throughout Europe and Lesante Cape is certainly among the best. I would highly recommend this resort it is beautiful, well located, romantic, best in class service, with stunning views and amenities, —an overall outstanding, unique experience. I would also say you get a great value relative to the room price,

I really wanted to love this hotel - it's really beautiful and calm and there's a lot to like, but I'm afraid I have to mirror what one of the other reviewers has said which is that it just didn't meet my expectations when taking into account that it's a LHW or the price. We stayed in 4 hotels around the Pelopennese and Zante on this trip and out of the 4 it was by far the most expensive however and we just felt for the price it didn't offer as much as some of the other hotels that were less pricey. In the main, we were just really disappointed with the lack of privacy which is something we expect in a high end hotel, and also we found there wasn't much to do at the hotel and became bored really quickly. The main issue was that the 'private' pool rooms are not private at all. We were overlooked by the rooms above. We could also be seen from the rooms to the rear. It made us not want to use the pool we'd paid dearly for as there was literally someone sitting on their balcony right over our heads us looking down the whole time. We are a family of 4 and booked adjoining private pool rooms and we were really disappointed by these. Firstly the adjoining door between the two rooms couldn't be closed (or at least it could but if it was, it locked when closed and could only be opened from the other. So if we closed the door to the kids room we could only open it by going outside and opening it in the other room). So at night we were not able to close the door between the kids and ourselves without them being locked into their room and not being able to access their room at all. The adjoining doors had ugly eggcrate foam haphazardly stuck onto the rear side of them and they stuck out obtrusively into the room when open (which they had to be all the time to prevent them from locking). We had to put a towel on the floor to stop the doors being closed and locked by accident. The acoustic foam coupled with the towel on the floor did rather spoil the aesthetic! The adjoining pools in this room type were also separated by a big wall and so it was like have two separate gardens rather than one space, and there wasn't anywhere large enough for us all to sit out together by the pool so it was rather strange and felt a bit isolating. You also couldn't watch TV in bed due to the way the TV has been placed in the room which couldn't be moved. The resort is small and whilst classy, relaxing and stylish, it is also a little boring and very isolated so you can't go anywhere else without driving. The communal pools are really pretty small with a very limited seating area around them, and the sea area (I wont' call it a beach because it really isn't) is minuscule and so far down a steep cliff that it is in shade most of the afternoon and you need mountaineering gear to get back up the stairs. The water is very shallow and very rocky, so it's ok for snorkelling but you can't jump into the water from the jettys that make up the beach either. We have tween boys who like muck around, play football and bat and ball on the beach, do watersports and run around and jump in the sea and the pool, and they were really bored here to be honest as there just isn't much for them to do and very little space for them to do it in. There aren't many sport facilities (other than an unshaded padel court and an indoor gym), and no watersports. Even boat hire involves having to be driven to somewhere 10 minutes away. The 'teen' room hardly has anything in it. It's just not a great place for older boys we didn't find. Finally again to mirror what another reviewer said, we found the restaurants really uninspiring and terrible for kids. Most of them have a set meal rather than a menu with no options at all. The options in the all day restaurant we found a bit ordinary for the prices - it was priced higher than several Michelin starred restaurants we have been to even in places like London, and yet the food and service were really pedestrian. In fact the service was pretty rubbish - slow, inattentive and we felt like we'd been forgotten several times. The steak was tough. The wine wasn't cold. And there was a band playing that was so loud we couldn't have a conversation. But if you want to go out to eat you have to drive as the hotel isn't really near anything. We felt strongly that this should be an adults only hotel as it really isn't set up for kids, especially active ones - it just feels like the kind of place you go to use a spa, sunbathe, read a book and not move around very much as there isn't really anywhere to go. I mean, there are basically no children's activities, but it has a cigar room. That says it all! Overall it all just felt a bit style over substance. On the plus side, Breakfast was very good. The staff were nice. The gym is decent. The room design is pleasant and spacious. The beds were really comfy. The bathroom was nice and had good water pressure and nice showers and decent products. And the resort looks very pretty and well kept.

Stayed Aug 2025. This review is going to be harsh, not b/c the experience is terrible, but b/c I have a higher standard for LHW hotels with a ~$2k/night price point. The space was gorgeous, the amenities great, and the staff top-notch. But it was far from perfect and I expect perfect at these prices. 1) The rooms lack privacy. We had a private pool room, which was nice, but guests from an upper level could (and did) look right over their balcony to watch my family and I in the pool. I don't blame the guests; I blame the lack of privacy. 2) The on-resort dining options were nice, but absurdly over-priced. One dish I ate (rooster pasta) was among the better foods I've had across the Greek isles. Now, I expect a certain amount of "rip-off" when eating at a fancy hotel, but ~E120 for a fish dinner entree and ~E100 for a sandwich picnic lunch is...a lot. 3) The staff were great. Zero complaints, and lots of positive interactions. 4) For those of you looking for a more romantic or adults-friendly experience, this property may not be the best. While the location was beautiful and romantic, ~2/3rds of the guests looked to be families with kids. So there was a lot of running, yelling, playing, and yes, crying. There you have it. Great resort, but fell far short of my lofty expectations.
