I recently spent 10 days at this hotel and it was a fabulous experience! The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of Stalis with everything you could want close by. The two pools were delightful, especially the quieter one, and the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. However, the breakfast could definitely use some improvement as it lacked variety and certain items were not very appealing.

Our stay at Zephyros Beach was a mix of highs and lows. While the pool area and beach access were truly fantastic, our room situation was less than ideal, lacking the promised side sea views and comfort. The staff was generally friendly, but some interactions felt lacking in enthusiasm. Dining was a letdown, especially at breakfast where the options didn't meet expectations. Overall, while there were great moments, the inconsistencies made the experience less memorable than we had hoped.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a generally positive experience. The location is fantastic, right on the beach with great access to local shops and eateries. The rooms were clean and well-kept, though a bit small. While the dining options were satisfactory, I wished for a bit more variety, especially with traditional Greek dishes. You have to be up early to secure a poolside sunbed, which can be inconvenient. Additionally, some charges for things like safe use felt a bit excessive.
