Emerald Villas & Suites - the Finest Hotels of the World

We stayed at the 4 bedroom villa right at the top of the hill and it was perfect for a week’s holiday. The villa was stunning inside and the outside space was perfect with superb views and a beautiful pool. You could pretty much order in anything you needed, whether that be breakfast, lunch, dinner or even just basic provisions so you didn’t have to leave the villa unless you wanted to. That said, there were some lovely restaurants in the area so I would recommend trying these out too. We had a car for part of the week and used the villa’s driver & transfer services on other days but all were arranged by the team - mainly Dimitra who was amazing. We all said we would have no hesitation in re-booking. You will not be disappointed.

This hotel is AMAZING. We would never leave if we didn’t have to go back home :) The view, amenities, and service are all totally exceptional. Christine, Dimitria, and Irene worked with us months in advance to book a car, boat tour, and even helped us acquire ferry tickets!! We’ve never experienced this level of service and we work in hospitality! We are already planning our return trip. If you’re visiting Zakynthos this is a must stay. If you’re *thinking* about visiting Zakynthos this hotel justifies the journey alone. Paradise!!!

From being picked up from the airport to being dropped off 2 weeks later this was one of, if not the best, holiday we have had in years. From being picked up by Dimitris at the airport to being dropped off when we left there was nothing to complain about. The whole team at Emerald are there to make your holiday unforgettable. The housekeepers arrived everyday to make sure everything was in order, changing sheets and towels every 2 days, and cleaning the floors everyday and the pool was checked every 2/3 days. Nothing is too much trouble for the Emerald team. The villa is a couple of km from the harbour of Agios Nikolaos and really you need a car as taxis are pretty much a rare sight. This part of Zakynthos is pretty quite so if you want a nightlife of discos and clubs this area is not for you. Plenty of great restaurants, 3 course meal with a carafe of local wine £60 per couple, although some cost considerably more, are around some with walking distance, just remember its all downhill from where Emerald is so the walk back can become a bit of a trek. Many thanks to Dimitra, Christina and Dimitris who make sure your holiday is perfect again nothing is too much trouble for them. We will be returning again in the next year. Go you will not be disappointed. A&J

We had a wonderful week stay at Emerald Villas in the Honeymoon suite, we booked the emerald transfer and our driver Dimitris was so friendly and chatted to me on the journey - I also thought he looked very smart in his dark green suit! My husband had arranged to collect a quad bike from the airport , I took the transfer along with our luggage and he met us at the villas - this worked out fine for us, however they do offer a service where they can deliver a quad to the villa if you prefer. We had such a warm welcome from Irene, one of the loveliest Reception managers I’ve met! she took us to our room and we were blown away with the views. We opted for the celebration package which was €280 I think, and included champagne, petals, iced biscuits and other honeymoon decor as well a huge bouquet of flowers and a delicious chocolate ganache gateaux - which we enjoyed for a few nights as our dessert! The package also included a couples massage which we enjoyed the following day after a morning of adventuring so I definitely recommend treating yourself to this package because it made our arrival feel more special. The room itself was super clean and the bed was very comfortable. We had everything we needed and popped down to the shop in the harbour to get a few essentials - we went adventuring into Zante the next day and went to a Lidl there to get more breakfast/ lunch items. The port is a short drive down the mountain and there are a few pretty gift/ clothing shops along with a petrol station and mini market and plenty of restaurants in the area. We ordered room service from one of the local restaurants on our last night in and even the delivery drivers were very friendly. Irene kept us updated via the bedroom phone and vise versa if we were heading out for the afternoon so she could liaise with housekeeping, which was great as we didn’t feel pressured to have our room cleaned at a set time. One day we did stay in while they cleaned but we happily kept out of their way out the cabana bed, the housekeeping staff were very friendly and polite and did a great job. We were lucky to have nice weather during our stay (1st week of May, highs of 22 degrees) and it only rained one day - which was fine as we had a cozy morning in and watched some films on the smart tv in the room. We would definitely recommend these villas as the staff were so wonderful and the suites are gorgeous! We didn’t want to leave and hope to be back next year. Thank you Irene & team for a fabulous honeymoon to remember, Victoria & Luke xx

It was an absolute dream! Everything was fantastic!! The room, the service and the views.. those splendid views which we will never forget. Perhaps the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen. The room was lovely, always very clean and well equipped. A big thank you to the fantastic team, Dimitra, Christina, Dimitris who made our stay even better. We will return here for sure!!!

We had a wonderful and peaceful stay at Emerald Villas and Suites. Irene was so friendly and helpful. The property was beautiful with the most incredible views!! Within a short 5 minutes drive to the port where we enjoyed dinner and a small beach. Highly recommend!!

We really enjoyed this property. Customer service is top notch. They can arrange anything you want to do or place to eat. The suites are well designed and the patios are amazing. You are on the side of the mountain overlooking the whole island out onto the ocean. Highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. A lasting tip. Take the shuttle to the property from airport. Like $79 euros. Then have the office arrange you a rental car. Only $35 euros a day. Having your own car saves you money and allows you to explore the island at your own pace.
