Plaka Beach Resort

Just returned from 2 very restful weeks at Plaka Beach Resort. Very nice environment, staff, food, and the small beach is amazing. Lots of comments in other reviews around sunbeds! I can say it was not a problem for us - as residents you have the choice of a large lawned area which is slightly raised above the beach making for a nice view. We never struggled to get a sunbed during our stay. The business is definitely on the ball in terms of ensuring that people pay for sunbeds on the beach - when you explore the other local beaches and see the 4-5 rows of tightly packed sunbeds, you'll be grateful that they tightly protect the more relaxed setup at Plaka (my opinion). A lot of the negative comments are from non residents complaining about having to pay for beds, so factor that into your considerations if you're looking to stay here. We usually try to eat at a different restaurant every night when away, and there are a number of options in the area, but to be honest in terms of both the food and the view, we would probably just dine at Plaka every night if we went back. Koukis restaurant over at Agios Nikolaos also worth checking out. I would recommend this hotel for anyone who is looking to really relax, not have to particularly travel to enjoy their holiday (I didn't drive once), and just enjoy the sun, sea, food and drink. The other residents were all also relaxed and pleasant, which is important when staying in a hotel for 2 weeks! When we return to Zante, we would not consider staying anywhere else, thank you Spiros, Andreas and family for looking after us!
