Keri Village & Spa by Zante Plaza (Adults Only)

Location is a 0! High up in the mountains far away from everything, specially the coast! Rooms without double beds (at least for couples) but with 2 singles joined together and individually made up! After swimming pool and looking to have a relaxing shower…? No relaxing and no shower as the water from the shower was at best at the same temperature as the swimming pool! Why do I have to pay €50 tourist tax to get a service like this?! Holidays over after 1 day and Greece never again… apologies to the population!

What can I say about Keri village and spa by Zante plaza….. the pictures on the website and booking sites must have been taken years ago, it’s very dated and rundown now…. Nothing at all like the pictures. DO NOT book this hotel… especially if you expect a HOT shower because you will NOT get one!! Our room didn’t have hot water at all in the shower, so we ended up having to move rooms! But after speaking to ALOT of other guests it’s seems the no hot water was a common thing… espically in the “standard” rooms! Maria hotel receptionist is personable and was helpful when we arrived… however the man who takes over in the evenings is RUDE, unhelpful and would rather sit on his phone than do anything else.. he should not work in customer service or be anywhere near customers. The barman was continually on his phone in the day, again more interested in his FaceTime call than serving the drinks… very poor customer service. The food: plenty to choose from and good quality, could have been warmer but otherwise very good. It’s something this hotel has got right. Pool: clean; tidy; plenty of sunbeds… however the lifeguard lady is weird and doesn’t like people to sit near where she sits. We used the shuttle down the beach twice: was very well organised and on time. Over all, the hotel needs a massive update, and staff overhaul because it falls very far from 4* standards, at best I would give the hotel a 2-3* rating. Unfortunately our stay was not what we had hoped for and we wouldn’t return.

Out favourite place for a September holiday. The hotel is in a quiet, peaceful if remote location. We love the intimate, cosy atmosphere and low key entertainment. The staff are hard-working and very attentive. The buffet is small but provides a variety of food day to day. Chef Joe's show cooking is wonderful and the standard of food generally is impressively high. The rooms are clean and comfortable with daily maid service. The bathrooms are dated and could do with a make-over but are very clean. We have already booked to return next September.

After being given a double bed, they change our rooms after a bit of back and forth to what we had asked for single beds. I found the place lovely and clean. There was a wide and varied menu and all the staff were friendly and helpful. It is remote, but we went for a rest so it suited us. would go back, thanks

Keri Village Hotel is situated on a hilltop and is very remote. If you are someone that likes to retreat into the countryside and like to be isolated, then this is the place for you for that escapism. The views are stunning, panoramic views of the mountainous regions, the neighbouring hilltop village and the sea. There isn't much to do at the hotel other than laze around the pool all day. There are no direct hiking trails if you are feeling adventurous to walk down to the beach. There are direct windy hairpin roads to the beach but I wouldn't say it would be safe to walk up and down it as no footpaths. Plus it would be a trek particularly walking back uphill and in the blazing heat. The hotel runs a courtesy shuttle mini bus however to and from Keri Beach 4 times a day. Hotel pickups are 10am, 1pm, 3pm and 5.30pm. (Return pickups are approx 10.10, 1.10, 3.10 and 5.40). It only seats 8 passengers BUT the accommodating driver will put on additional shuttle runs to and back if there are more passengers. This is a godsend as there are no public transport that goes to the hotel. At Keri Beach there are car, quadbike, bike rentals though so there are options if you are prepared to want to drive or ride. The hotel itself , the accommodation is in chalet type buildings. Our room was basic but spotless. The domestics cleaned rooms with fresh towel changes daily. I would say the room we had requires modernisation to make it like a 4 star. The bathroom was generous in size but the shower was small. The bar area in my opinion requires a total refurbishment . It was somewhat soul-less but has great potential for upgrade investment. There is adequate A/C in the bedrooms and in the bar and restaurant. Food was of relative variety. Breakfast a choice of hot and cold food. Lunch and dinner again a variety. Salad bar, always a meat dish, vegetarian and fish. Then a couple of show cooking selections each day during lunch and dinner. If you are a vegan though, you will struggle and they don't have dairy free milk either. Greek night was one of the best and the bbq night. I would say overall the food was of reasonable quality. As with most A/I, the alcohol is non branded. They serve a selection of cocktails at the pool bar during the day and the indoor bar in the evening. They have beer and wine dispensers but the quality was poor. I stuck with cocktails of which in my opinion some were quite strong. You are provided with plastic bottles in your room on arrival so you can simply fill them up with water in the restaurant or any selection of their soft drinks etc. The filter coffee from the machine wasn't too bad but they also had individual coffee sachets if preferred along with a small selection of teas including herbal. This hotel daily has continued departures and arrivals so there is constantly different guests arriving each day or leaving. We never had any issue of getting a sunbed regardless of time and we didn't see anyon

The place is beautiful set in the hills that makes it isolated so if you don’t hire a car your restricted to the local area .They run a mini bus down to Keri beach 2 to 3 times a day there are 2 or 3 shops and 3 or 4 Tavernas down there .Two Local Tavernas advertise in the reception if you want to eat out they will pick you up and bring you back we did it a couple of times and enjoyed the evening out .As for the hotel the rooms are basic but have every thing you need they were cleaned every day and spotless .The food is served in a buffet style restaurant not a fabulous choice but we always found something .The staff were great and the service in the bars was good added to which were self service beer and wine pumps . There’s a huge Freshwater pool surrounded by sun beds never a problem finding one a very relaxed atmosphere during the day .The slight criticism I had was in the ten days we were there only two nights that had any entertainment on , it could get a bit monotonous towards the end of the holiday .If you consider this place looks a lot like the set of Mama Mia it would not take much to create that vibe I think that would fabulous.We enjoyed it I would return but the evenings do need some attention .
