Meandros Boutique Hotel & Spa

We had such a great 5-day stay at Meandros Hotel, and it’s an experience we’ll always remember! Our room was amazing, with a jacuzzi and overlooking the pool and the sea in the background. From the moment we got there, receptionist Sofia greeted us with a big smile and made checking in super easy, as well as the welcome drinks were super tasty and refreshing after the long journey. We had breakfast and dinner included in our stay. Everyday there are plenty of choices and menu changes, need to note that it is a small hotel, so buffet options are limited, since it is only 40 something rooms, so don’t expect a big resort buffet, but even with that - there was plenty of choices. Pool area big with a lots of spaces and comfortable sunbeds as well as snack bar with a great foods and selection of drinks, during a day we loved staying inside the hotel. The location of the hotel was perfect too, 5 minutes walk away from the beautiful turquoise blue water beach with an option of renting sunbeds at the beach. There were plenty of restaurants, shops, and places to rent things nearby, all within walking distance. It made getting around so easy! A huge thank-you to all of the hotel team for her incredible service— all of the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Would deffo want to return.

We booked a hottub room for our mini honeymoon and it did not disappoint. We got to the hotel and paid €70 tourist tax and €10 to get into our room earlier which we really didn't mind to be honest! The room was 408 and was huge! Lovely views of the mountains and sea. The balcony was also very big and the hottub was perfect! We were in it each night before we went down for tea. All of the staff were lovely and I thought the food was good too with plenty of choice but not too much. The residents cats were my favourite though 🥰 and all of the cats in the small strip of road by the hotel (crazy cat lady over here!) The hotel and pool area was clean and well kept and we used the spa area for a private spa session with a floating tray with fruit, cake and prosseco to treat ourselves and the spa staff were so lovely! There was a lot of noise each night from the live bar Antonis so bring ear plugs! Luckily it does only last an hour! All in all we had a lovely time and would recommend this hotel to our friends and family!

As a couple in their 50's, we just returned from a lovely holiday to Zante and stayed in the Meandros hotel as an adult only choice. The rooms - We paid for a premium room, which in reality was a larger than average size room with a couch (which we never used). The room had a large cupboard with a hanging rail and a shelf which was too high for me at 5' 2", but no chest of drawers in the room. The beds were comfy and they had good pillows. We also had a decent size balcony, however, this was on the dull side of the hotel and it only got the sun in early evening, so again never used as mosquitos tend to be coming out in evenings. The bathroom was dated and the noise late at night from other pubs etc, blasted through the bathroom window. The noise outside early in the morning mainly came from the local cockerels as it's a field next to the hotel and also cleaning staff with trolleys going past, so if you are someone who is not looking to go out to entertainment, then this hotel is not for you as you will hear it anyway and then be woken early with dogs, chickens etc. No signal on the on the only British TV channel. There are other rooms with their own personal swim up rooms and some that overlook the main pool or the sunny side of the hotel, so I'm not sure how they are allocated as we had paid for a premium suite!! The pool is gorgeous and the hotel is immaculate, outdoor bar is good for relaxing in and the staff are extremely helpful. The cleaning staff work hard to keep everything spotless and the restaurant is clean, but quite small, although there is an outdoor seating area too (however, you take the risk of mosquito bites if eating outdoor at dinner time). Breakfast was between 7am - 10.30am and dinner was 7pm - 9.30pm. We personally got a bit fed up of the food as it was all much the same most nights, so we chose to eat out a few nights over the 10 day holiday. I would definitely recommend Dafni's for a meal, just around the corner from the hotel. There is a lovely spa facility, although we didn't use it, except on the last day after I had lay in the sun. You can use of the spa facility to get a freshen up before leaving for a late flight. Nearby, plenty of pubs, supermarkets, restaurants on the main strip and on the other side of the hotel, however, most are now closing for the winter. The beach is about a 10 minute walk away and the water is clear and clean, definitely worth spending a day or 2 there. Car hire is good to tour the island with and we did the "Back to the roots" bus tour as well, which was worthwhile. We personally appreciated the help on the last day after checking out of our room, while waiting around the pool area before our evening pick up when my husband took ill and the reception staff arranged for him to rest in another bedroom for a few hours to prevent him feeling sick in public. Overall, the hotel is around a 4 star in terms of cleanliness, good pool area and reasonable choice of food, but we've definitely had better standard rooms in other greek islands and better choices of food at a much lesser cost.

The only issue we had was upon arrival as it cost us 101 Euros in the first five minutes. that was 70 Euros Greek hotel tax, 21 Euros for 7 days safe hire and 10 Euros for entering our room, even though it was ready, before 3pm !! The room was as big a room as we have stayed in anywhere in Europe, it was actually 2 rooms. The food, although slightly limited, was tasty and hot, the staff friendly and helpful and the general feel of the hotel was relaxed. Sun beds were never an issue and the balcony was perfect for me to sunbathe on. All in all, I would recommend this hotel to anybody who wants to chill out and relax. It was a little small for us and Kalamaki was just bars, restaurants and supermarkets. However the bars across the road were ideal for us.

I had this privilege to stay in this amazing hotel, from a moment you arrive you can see a touch to the detail, a nice greek decorations, statues, giving a warm feeling. Welcoming and kind reception, always there to help, suggest and explain everything. I stayed in a suite with hot-tub and it had a sea view as well the room was spacious, all the facilities as you expect from 5 star hotel - nice selection of mini bar things, room service etc., The main pool area is fantastic, it is spacious as well and pool is big enough so even when it gets crowded, in the pool no one gets on your head. Prices with foods and drinks affordable, snack bar was so good that when we tried lunch outside it was not worth it and the rest of the days we ate lunch time in the hotel, plenty of choices and afoordable things. There was also a spa facility, I enjoyed and loved, with a special discount got a peeling, amazing proffesionals over there and a nice place to relax if it's a raining day. Buffet dinner food is great, everyday selection of different meats, some days theme days like sundays was with a roast beef and someday there was italian and greek night. Quiet hotel, mostly elderly couples and young couples, so not a party place. Would definetly suggest this hotel for anyone who likes peace and quiet.
