Having avoided Greece due to my perception that it was just another Ibiza/crazy package holiday destination, I stand corrected. Zakynthos is evidence of the true beauty which exist on this earth – both in terms of nature and humanity. The only reason that this hotel does not get an overall “excellent” rating is the customer service of one member of... more

My wife and I have just returned from a wonderful week in Vasilikos, fortunately not in the hotel that we had originally booked!! We had booked (and paid for) a week’s B+B in a studio apartment with a pool view at the Arion Renaissance Hotel, and received written confirmation of our booking, (We booked the Arion partly on the basis... more

We booked really last minute (on Fri, arrived Sun) and had a wonderfully relaxing stay. It's a genuinely family-run hotel and everyone is very friendly and helpful. Our top-floor room got pretty hot during the day. There was optional aircon, but we preferred the natural temperature to an artificial chill. The bathroom was small and the shower had no shower... more

You get what you paid for. It is a simple hotel. But if you are not too spoiled, spend your day outdoors and need a room to sleep and shower , you will be okay here. You can dry your bathing suits on the balcony and there are clean sheets to sleep on. Other reviewers already said enough about breakfast,... more

This was our 2nd visit to the Arion and will not be our last. The staff are friendly and always welcome you with a smile. We have always found if you are pleasent with the people you wil be treated the same. George seems to work every hour that God sends and is always willing to help out with anything.... more

The location was just lovely - a peaceful little town surrounded by gorgeous countryside - olive groves, goats, chickens, hills, beaches, forests and not too many tourists. Breakfast was... more

We booked to stay at Arion Renaissance Hotel for 2 weeks 15-29 May this year. THEN I read the reviews on this site. I was extremely concerned and very nearly changed our accommodation having read all the dismal and negative remarks. We found the hotel really good value for money. The staff are friendly enough ... George is lovely ...... more

My partner and I (27 and 34) were looking for a quiet relaxing break somewhere hot at the end of September and half board vassilikos in Zante seemed to tick all of the boxes. On arriving at our hotel (Arion) at 4am we were greeted by George (more about him later) and with in half an hour we were in... more

the tv is too small for a 3 star hotel. the phone is useless in a cell phone world. the bathroom is very small. the whirlpool has cold water in it. the shower curtain was covered with slime and too long. when the shower filled with water the drain in the floor would overflow into the bath room. you could... more
