We visited the Louis Zante Beach for 14 nights commencing October 9th October, the hotel was around 50% occupied during our visit so this should be regarded as an

After reading previous reviews ,we were a little disappointed,on arrival, to find that the hotel was a little shabby in places,although the general cleanliness was good.

The food was well cooked,with a good choice of Greek & Italian food,with enough to also satisfy those with a more English palate.

We have seen larger buffets, hence the 4 star rating.

Location could not be faulted {right on the beach between Laganas and Kalamaki}, although out of an Earthquake zone would have been better.

Staff were generally friendly and efficient,with the odd exception, but lose a star for non helpfulness during and after the earthquake.

Entertainment!What can we say.The animation staff were very pleasant and friendly,and worked hard during the day with games etc. But were not entertainers. As a result the evening entertainment left a lot to be desired(the highlight being the kid's mini-disco).

We blamed the hotel management for not paying to have professional acts in the evenings.

HOTEL LOUIS BEACH-
October 2005, room small but clean for two adults and two children, great location next to the beach.

Entertainment not great, children of 8 and 6, kids club was great and plenty going on until the earthquake, apparently normally small but at this time year it was big, very big, our 8 year old was physically sick with fear.

No warning anywhere and no explanation from staff, fantastic location without the earthquake, will think twice before returning.

Firstly I must say that this Hotel is supposed to be one of the best on the island. This however does not mean I would go there again.

Although very clean and staff were friendly there was not much in the area to do in the nights with a young family. Laganas is a short walk away but you do not want to go there late at night with kids.( Very lively with the 18-30 crowds ).

Although the hotel offered what is loosely described as entertainment ! this became very sad after a few nights.

All shows seemed to be the same, poorly rehearsed (considering they are repeated every 2 weeks) and lacking any real effort. Although the entertainers seemed to work hard all day, some of them obviously did not want to be there. Daily activities were aimed more at adults, not many suited for family involvement.

Animation team seemed a little short tempered while trying to recruit teams ( Come on do you want to play, yes or No !)which did not help to encourage the kids to play.
Food is of a high quality although this does become very repetitive after few days.

Meals are called something different but look suspiciously similar.The hotel could do well by trying themed nights to break up the menu. I was a little dissappointed with the "friendly" greek people outside of the hotel.They seemed a little miserable towards the Brits and rarely gave a smile. This may be something to do with the late night behaviour in Laganas, who knows !.

On the whole I do not think Zante is the best of the Greek islands and thank god we met up with Nicky,Julia and the kids, at least we could all laugh together at Chicco " I Can't hear you "..the entertainer.

If you like a quiet beach holiday and do not want to leave the hotel, this would be ok for a week. After this you may be a little bored, however this is only my opinion, you may think differently .

One word of warning, if you do go to this hotel DO NOT use the supermarket on site. They are an absolute rip-off and miserable .If you walk past the pool onto the beach and turn right, you will see another shop up to the right which is much cheaper.

Good luck and happy Hols...

We have just returned from two weeks break at the Louis Zante beach hotel and on the whole we found the hotel to be very good value for money.

The hotel was as described in the brochure, and in
particular would suit families with small children as there was plenty for children to do i.e. pirate playship, childrens pool, and safe beach.

Although the entertainment was average they did very well under the circumstances i.e. by the time we arrived there was only Clare, Emma, Sabrina & Chico left (Chico being quite a good entertainer when he could be bothered).

We did as a family enjoy this holiday but would not return as we found the rooms in this hotel very small, the so called family room for 2 adults & child was a double bed & a put-up bed squeezed into a confined space, so basically we had to go to sleep when our child did.

A major plus is that the hotel is only ten minutes away from the airport which makes transfers very easy. There are no flights during the night so no worries about aircraft noise through the night. You can hear and see aircraft during the day however the noise is not deafening.

The hotel supermarket is a total rip off and I suggest everyone leaves it well alone! There is a supermarket nearby (just off the beach) which is half the price.

The whole complex is spotless and there is an army of cleaners who keep the complex clean day and night.

Food is very good with variety and a children

We booked this hotel after reading the reviews on here and being bowled over by the talk of the GREAT Animation team. When we found out that they were not at the hotel this year we didn't really worry. We should have. After suffering bad entertainment last year in Rhodes, we wanted somewhere we could enjoy the evenings but the 'entertainment' at the Louis Zante Beach is the worst we have ever witnessed.

It isn't for a lack of effort on the part on Clare, Emma, Andy, Sabrina and Balou who were all friendly and enthusiastic. It was because of the 'Chief entertainer' Chicco who would surface late afternoon and sit at the pool bar with his sunglasses on watching the world go by before getting ready for the evenings SHOW.

These were a showcase for his considerable talents (not)and the others were nothing more than unwilling supporters. The only day that Chicco joined in we found out later that he had been being assessed by his visiting bosses.

Having said all this, the hotel is, quite simply, breathtaking. I have yet to see a better view from a balcony or from around the pool. The pool and beach are about 20 metres away from each other and our 11 year old daughter and 9 year old son could quite safely go on the beach while we watched them from sun loungers by the pool.

The food is samey but of a good quality and there is a good selection for the kids.

The bar staff are friendly and polite and the huge army of cleaners are always ready with a smile as you walk past.

The room was typical of this sort of hotel and is perfectly adequate. Make sure you get a sea view cos as I said it is spectacular.

This hotel is the best I have been to for sunloungers. There are loads, they are always in the sun, and you don't have to get up early to get one. A stroll to the pool at around 9am will get you all you need.

Others have mentioned the WASPS. Yes there are plenty but as long as you don't drink or spill the lemon drinks, they leave you alone. Do as the staff do and ignore them, they really aren't a problem.

The hotel location is great if you want a quiet holiday but the main resort of Laganas (about a mile away) is another story being full of 18-30's. WARNING- Don't get a night flight. It is horrendous and we were delayed on the way home while they off loaded a couple of drunk teenagers.

The best part of our holiday was hiring the small motor boats on the beach and going over to Turtle Island. They cost 45 euros for 2 hours. BRILLIANT!!!!

Would I go again? DEFINITELY. Was I impressed? YES
Would I use another LOUIS hotel WITHOUT A DOUBT

This is a great hotel, in a great location with great weather and good food and drink. What more do you need from an all inclusive holiday? Oh yes, ENTERTAINMENT!!!!

This hotel is highly recommended, I would definitely like to go back and there is honestly not a single thing I could complain about!

The food is of a very high standard with excellent choice and variety. The cleanliness of the hotel and friendliness of the staff is excellent and location is quiet but within easy access of the town if you need a livelier holiday.

Very well suited to families.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at Louis Zante Beach.

Hotel in a lovely location,right on a large sandy beach with warm gently sloping sands into the sea. Standards of
cleanliness very high both inside and outside the hotel and
all staff really friendly and helpful.

The animation staff were very enthusiastic and organised lots of enerttainment during the day which all the family really enjoyed. Our two children (7 and 9) went to the hotels kids club. Emma the teacher was fantastic with them and all the children loved her.

Night time entertainment at hotel not so good, but there is plenty to do in Laganas, a short walk away.

Hotel food fantastic with something for even the most fussy of eaters. Also a childrens buffet IE fish fingers and chicken nuggets etc.

Downpoint was hotel gym. Most of equipment not working or extremely ancient but apart from that we had a fantastic holiday and did not want to come home!

My family stayed in this hotel after visiting the Phaethon beach. The hotel was kept very clean. Rooms cleaned daily, towels changed daily.

The hotel food was very good, bbqs, childrens menu, the beach bar was only ok. The location was excellent, near enough to walk into the busy area of pubs and clubs and far enough so you could not hear any of the noise.

The tutles swimming in the sea were fantastic as you only had to go out waist deep to see them. Hotel staff very friendly. Entertainment team not very good but they did try. Not very much to do for 10+ year olds.

Only one out of four snooker tables working and lucky if you could find a good cue. No basketball or football and most of the gym equipment not working, but new management so hopefully everthing will be fixes. Plenty of new sunbeds and parasols around pool.
