Греция, Закинф, отель Zante Park 4* Greece, Zakynthos, hotel Zante Park 4*

Rested in Zante Park 4 * from 17.08 to 24.08. 09. Normal hotel. It consists of the main building and another one across the road. I lived in the one across the street from the main one. At first I was surprised by the lack of security in this building (not a single living soul in the hall, come in, whoever wants to), then drew attention to the numerous video cameras. The hotel staff is friendly, they speak English. The name of the hotel is translated as "sunny park", but do not look for the park, it is not there, the territory is small.
The room was quite large in size, the neighboring rooms with an extra bed were even larger. The balcony is large with a table and chairs, I went out into the patio with palm trees and a fig tree. The hotel was renovated in 2007, which is immediately evident. The furniture in the rooms is new, air conditioning, LCD TV with two Russian channels, minibar, safe (for 20 euros a week at the reception they will give you the key). The brochure says that you can use the minibar as a refrigerator for an additional fee. I put my juice and water there to cool, no one demanded money for it. Drinking tap water is not recommended. A liter bottle of water in the store costs from 60 cents.
If you read about free internet in the room for those who are not too lazy to bring a laptop with them, do not believe it. Internet in the room is paid, via wi-fi, a card with a password is purchased at the reception. But the connection is bad, constantly interrupted, it will not work fully.

The bathroom is large, the plumbing is new. Bath accessories in the form of soap, shower gel in a 30 mg bottle and shampoo bottles of the same size are given out not as they are used up, but once a week. Towels are changed when you leave them on the floor. The only thing I didn't like was the narrow partition between the sink and the bathroom: when you take a shower, water pours onto the floor. The room is cleaned every day, but, as everyone notes, without enthusiasm.
The pool at the hotel is large, located in the courtyard of the main building, but I didn’t swim in it, because there is such a sea nearby! Sun loungers around the pool are free, beach towels, it seems, are also available, but for an additional fee. There is a gym, but I didn’t reach it for a week of rest due to the laziness that gripped me. It is written that there is a sauna, a visit is 3 euros, but I was not interested.
The food is tasty. I will not be delighted with the choice of dishes, but the proposed assortment allows you to make your daily meal varied. There were few fruits. For that ice cream every day - four types. I had half board. The hotel also operates on an all-inclusive basis. But, given some remoteness from the sea and the desire to spend the whole day on the beach or on trips, I considered it inappropriate to take all-inclusive, which I did not regret. There are so many taverns and small supermarkets in Laganas that it is not difficult to eat or buy food. You could take one breakfast.
The hotel is located five minutes walk from the beach. Sun loungers and umbrellas are paid. The first visit to the beach caused disappointment: sand densely packed with thousands of feet and... cigarette butts, cigarette butts, numerous cigarette butts, and as a non-smoker I perceive this disgustingly painful... In fact, the beach is cleaned, but cigarette butts remain after cleaning. But! If you walk for 5-10 minutes along the edge of the sea to the left, towards Kalamaki, sunbeds, umbrellas, crowds of sunbathers and cigarette butts will be left behind. Greenpeace people fence off the turtle nests, they don’t even allow you to come close to them, but there is enough space for those who want to sunbathe and the future turtle offspring. By the way, you can buy resort goods such as umbrellas (5 euros), mats (1.5 euros), mattresses (5-6 euros) in any shop, and comfortably spend time on the beach. The sea is clean, warm and gentle. You have to go to the depth for a long time, for that it is ideal for children and those who like to swim in shallow water.

The hotel is located away from the main party street Main Road, so it is not noisy at night. For those who crave graveyard silence after dinner, Laganas is not his place of rest. Music in neighboring bars and taverns subsides by night, but you will have to be patient until 00:00, to one degree or another, the sounds from the street penetrate the room. It was not possible to hear the neighbors, either the sound insulation is really good, or the neighbors were quiet.
Separately, about the bay of Navajo. Actually, her photo determined the place of my rest. I really wanted to visit Zakynthos in general and this bay in particular. But it seems that the desire to get into the bay of Navagio visits everyone who has flown to Zakynthos. In general, it will not be possible to retire in this beautiful bay. The company will be made up of several hundred tourists eager to see this most beautiful place. With a tour, we were brought there only for an hour, but I would like to spend at least half a day there.
But, in general, despite some minor "roughness" vacation was a success. Which is what I wish you.
