Filoxenia is best described as modest. It doesn't have much, but what it does have, it does well. Not a bad hotel if you just want to eat, drink, and lounge.
It is made up of two areas separated by a dirt road, each area has a pool and rooms. One area has the reception, and the other has the bar, restaurant etc. The whole hotel was very clean and tidy.
Our room was based in the area attached to the reception. The room was nice and modern. But like with many modern showers and basins, they do not drain well. The bathroom would flood partially after each shower, this was an inconvenience. We had two single beds pushed together (I'm not sure if we had the opportunity to chose a single king or queen bed), and one of the beds had the tendency to move away from the other, which was another inconvenience. There was no way to lock this bed in place. The mattresses were of the firm spring type, which I didn't like. That being said, I made do, and I didn't bother asking if I could be given a foam mattress topper. I also understand that you have to pay for AC, it's something like 10 EUR a day. It wasn't hot enough for me to ask about this, but if it is 10 EUR then I think that is a lot.
The restaurant was okay. The food was good. The selection was on the smaller side, but this makes sense considering the size of the hotel. This didn't bother me as I eat almost everything. As the restaurant is a buffet, you have to squeeze past other tables with food in your hands to get to your table which is a inconvenience.
And that's about it. The staff are friendly, polite, and helpful. It's about a 25 min walk from the hotel to the beach. 15 min walk to town.

The staff were incredibly helpful and chatty when asked questions, the pools were fantastic and the food delicious. I'm particularly grateful to Dennis for helping me out with a wardrobe malfunction just before a wedding. The TV wasn't working but to be honest we wouldn't really have used it much when we had our phones and tablets. I highly recommend this hotel and hope we get the chance to go again some day.

Absolutely loved our stay at the filoxenia, me and my wife Sophia were looked after so well.
The food was amazing, the pool was lovely and the location was brilliant.
The front desk staff were super knowledgeable and helpful, giving us tips for the area and made out stay super enjoyable! Will definitely be returning!

First thing to say is the staff here are fantastic. Very friendly and helpful
The hotel seems to be spread over two sites right on a tight bend of the main road into Tislivi.
We stayed in the newer building. The room was spacious with a balcony. I would say it's a bit tight in the shower/toilet.
It was advertised that there were 3 swimming pools. Well one of those pools is a small toddler pool. The other two were a decent size seemed clean no complaints. There are bars near both of the big pools and local beers and spirits are included in the hotels all inclusive deal.
Food is breakfast (7.30am to 10.30am) lunch (12.30 pm to 2.30pm) and dinner (7.30pm to 9.30). We went mid May and at no time did we have an issue getting seated. Food was OK if not outstanding. Salads and cheese were very nice. Bread was always available as we're both hot and cold drinks. Hot food was available at all three meal times. Not always to my taste but I always found something.
The hotel is about a 20 minute walk into town. Not all of the road has a footpath. Be careful. We never did the walk after dark. There is also a bus running between Tislivi and Zakynthos town.

We have had a lovely stay at this hotel. Our first time in Greece and we have experienced friendly people and a lovely atmosphere.
One bar staff member in particular deserves a special mention as he was always so friendly and welcoming to everyone. My children nicknamed him 'boss man' because they thought he was so cool.
the only thing that fell short was the entertainment, I think there could have been more on offer in the evenings.
