Plessas Palace Hotel

We have been coming to Zante for 5 years now and always stayed in other hotels in Alykanas. Nikos Bar is a regular watering hole for us before we go out for dinner at their happy hour and has been all this time. They are a great family, so welcoming and fun. Nikos is an amazing bloke so funny and so his is apprentice Yannis who is learning the trade well. With their great personalities and flair for hospitality you'll always feel like a friend and not just a customer. This time we thought we would stay at his hotel Plessas and give it a go. I'm so glad we did... As usual Maria welcomed us in with open arms just as she does when we arrive on the island and see them all for the first time. Without delay we were given our key, aircon remote and big hugs from moma and the rest of the family before ushering us off to our room. The room was a mountain facing room which had a lovely view with a nice sized balcony area on the ground floor. It's so nice to wake up in the morning to a view like that. We had two beds, one single and one double. The mattress was very comfortable and a good size. There is the usual self-catering equipment available, but with the nice addition of an oven. We normally eat out every day and evening including at Nikos Bar because the food is great and the atmosphere too, but if you are young family on a budget, you have everything you need and more here. The pool and grounds are nice and clean, with plenty of sunbeds, so you'll never have the hassle of people loading up their towels as a reservation ticket. It's never too noisy and stressful like some places I've stayed at. There is music playing all day from the bar, but not so loud you can't get away from it. If you want to sit in a quiet area around the pool you can. All in all we had a lovely stay and we'll definitely return. Thanks for everything, keep up the good work everyone and we'll see you next year...

We stayed at the Plessis for 2 weeks from the 6th August. On arrival we were greeted by Maria who promptly checked us in and showed us where are rooms were. Myself,my wife and 10 year old daughter were in one part of the hotel and mother in law and Aunty in law were in another part. First impression was the room was very nice with view of the back garden, very clean and tidy. We were bed and breakfast which we new before we booked as the breakfast was only continental, not really our thing but did try it a couple of times. The pool area was very clean and tidy, usually no problem getting a sunbed. You have a separate bar area, Nikos bar, where you can get food, English breakfast etc etc with very friendly staff. This hotel was an upgrade on where we stayed last year, the Elpida which is about 50 metres away but the one difference between the two other than the one star is that the Elpida seemed to have a better atmosphere. I am not saying we didn’t enjoy it because we did but it never seemed as good as last year where we stayed. Expectations I suppose. All in all a very nice hotel with friendly staff but probably will not stay there again. Terry,Sharon & Millie

Had such a lovely holiday at plessas palace, we were welcomed by the lovely Maria and spent the evenings in nikos. Entertainment like bingo and quiz nights were lots of fun and Greek night brought everyone together . Would 100% recommend you stay at this lovely families hotel. We stayed for three weeks and already want to go back! We look forward to next year.
