Just enjoyed a wonderful 10 days here! The hotel is lovely with bright clean rooms, sunny pools, a great restaurant serving lovely traditional Greek recipes and well stocked bars! The staff are all lovely and friendly, but Maria in particular is an absolute credit to the hotel! Nothing was ever too much trouble and her recommendations throughout our stay elevated our experiences 10 fold!!

I asked the lady at the bar if there is a children's park with a swing and slide and she said there is not such thing. On the last day of holiday I discovered a park in a hidden corner. I was very disappointed. My baby could have used it every single day.
The hotel has elevator but no ramp for the stroller to get to the elevator.
The food was very poor.

We didn’t expect much, but this hotel really surprised us in the best way.
The hotel was very clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.
They even gave us tips on the best places to visit. There was plenty of parking available, which was great.
Other than that, we had all-inclusive (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), and there were always plenty of choices: pasta, salads, tzatziki which was delicious.
One day, the chef made gyros with pork, and when we mentioned we don’t eat it, he kindly made a special version for us without meat ,filled with fries and salad inside. It was honestly very tasty.
The rooms were very clean, and the staff kept everything tidy.
The balcony was quite spacious and comfortable, and the TV had channels in both English and German.
What I didn’t like was the bed situation, the double bed is actually two singles pushed together.
You have to be careful at night not to fall between them.
Still, the bed itself was comfortable overall.
The location is a bit far from the town around 10 minutes by car to the center and some touristy beach spots were even further.
But to be fair, in general, most tourist destinations in the area are quite spread out from each other, so that’s something to keep in mind.
I also believe there was also transport available to get to town or the beach if needed from the hotel.
The pool was really nice, but one thing that bothered me was how people ,not just from the other side of the hotel, but even from our side would come early in the morning, leave their towels on sunbeds to “reserve” them, and then disappear for hours.
Some wouldn’t even use the pool at all until much later in the day, which felt a bit disrespectful to other guests.
I think it would help if the hotel had a policy to remove towels from unused sunbeds after a certain time, and also add more sunbeds overall.
For what we paid, it was totally worth it and with a couple of small fixes, I’d be excited to come back.

Beautiful hotel, second time being here, about a 15-minute walk into town. We had family rooms with two bedrooms. Food was not loads of choice, but it was fresh and hot, and you could find something every night. The only thing that would put me off going again is no none smoking area, and every night by the bar there was a couple that just chain-smoked, and I came home with an awful cough.But otherwise i would go again i adore Zante and the people are just so nice friendly 😀 ❤️

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.
