A very nice quiet hotel set back from the main "strip". Our room was spacious and clean with plenty of storage. The owners and staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast has lots of choices and the poolside bar is reasonably priced and the food they serve is excellent. They serve food until 9pm which is a bonus if you have been out all day and don't fancy going out for dinner. We walked from the hotel to the main strip at a leisurely pace and it took us 11 minutes 34 seconds to be precise. There is plenty of parking at the hotel. The only very slight negative is there are not enough sunbeds around the pool on a busy day. I would highly recommend staying here if you like a bit of peace and quiet.

“Lovely Greek hospitality ”

Just home from a lovely week at the Daniel Hotel. There are so many things I could say about this lovely, family run hotel. However, I will try being as objective as possible. Firstly, the good points: *The pool and bar area have to be the stars of the show! Spotlessly clean, just the right size for the number of guests and the pool was a lovely temperature. No inflatables or lilo's allowed, but I can see why as it wouldn't take many for the pool to feel overcrowded. *Food at the bar was lovely. It's not a huge menu, but it's a small hotel. Greek salad, club sandwiches, pizza, and the real chips were great. Didnt have a burger, but they looked. Food is a really good price too. Great value for money. *The staff worked so hard. The owners, Gus and Vicky, really have found themselves some wonderful employees. Its a small staff team but they do everything to make your holiday memorable. Greek hospitality at its best. *It's located out of the main resort area, about a 10 minute walk to the main street in Kalamaki, where there are bars/restaurants etc. It suited us as we appreciated the peace but some may find it a little out of the way. Its location was a positive for us. Now the few negative points: *The main negative for us was the bed. It was so uncomfortable. Can't complain too much as we didn't raise this with the owners. *The shower cubicle was 'awkward'. It was a shower tray with a curtain but it was very small. The shower curtain stuck to your body, so we just tucked it out of the way and used the bathroom like a wet room, cleaning/drying the floor after we had showered. *Breakfast is quite repetitive and choice is limited. It was all perfectly fresh but maybe an additional breakfast cereal or changing the fruit on offer each day might liven it up a bit. *There is a 'no reserving sunbeds' rule, there is a notice in every room. However, this was not enforced. It didn't matter later in the week as a few guests appear to have left, leaving sunbeds available. But earlier in the week it was clear this rule isn't enforced. Again, can't complain too much as we didn't address this with either Gus or Vicky. Overall, we had a great stay at the Daniel. We hired a small car and drove around the island, the mountains are quite picturesque. Zante itself didn't have much to offer for us and the main resort towns looked a little run down. However, if you like the Island, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Daniel as a place to stay. Top tip: hire a car and see some.of the Island. There are some fabulous, quaint villages in the north and the countryside is beautiful.
