The breakfast was simply exquisite, featuring freshly squeezed orange juice and made-to-order omelettes that set the tone for a wonderful day. I especially loved the good pancakes that were served every morning, making it a nice start each day.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with excellent staff support, providing helpful tips and care throughout my visit. The location was perfect, right by the beach and close to local shops and restaurants. However, the dining options were a bit repetitive and lacked variety, especially in authentic local cuisine. Additionally, the facilities could use some upgrades to enhance the overall experience.

I had an amazing stay at the Zephyros Beach Hotel in Stalis. The overall experience was wonderful, from the welcoming staff to the stunning views from my balcony. The dining options were varied and delicious, although the restaurant was a bit small. The pools were a highlight, but the sunbed fees at the beach might be a consideration for some guests. Overall, I felt it offered excellent value for money.

I had a fantastic time during my stay! The hotel is located right by the beach and the proximity to the charming town with traditional tavernas made everything so convenient. My room was clean and offered beautiful views, but the dining experience could use some improvement, especially regarding breakfast freshness. The pools were lovely and added to the relaxing vibe of my vacation, though the €5 charge for one of them felt a bit unnecessary.

Our stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable thanks to the attentive service and diverse dining options. The location was ideal, with easy access to the beach and local shops. However, while the room was comfortable, it lacked some of the luxury I expected for a resort spa experience. The pool area was nice but sometimes felt crowded, and additional sun loungers would have made it more relaxing.
