Makris Yalos Beach

We went in october, so it was the season closeding down, so has limited staff working, literally nothing was available.

The first impression is strong. Nice welcome and good intro to the room. Room was nicely equipped but wasn’t 100% clean. We did mention it to reception and it was eventually recognised but not addressed. Maybe we were being critical but it’s a 5 star and you shouldn’t have hairs from a previous occupant in my view. Food… can’t fault … lovely fresh and the 4 restaurants you can visit once are very nice and service is brilliant… Buffett food is good for buffet and is pretty warm and fairly varied. I would say never enough pita bread to dip with the lovely dips we all love with Greek food. The drinks were good and staff brilliant. Decent tea and coffee so can only say good things. The hotel areas were pretty poor condition and still needs maturing and I know they had a recent storm so maybe a contributing factor. The pool was dirty in my view and not cleaned enough so I didn’t venture in but the wife did. Beach area is odd as it’s not actually on the beach… which is fine as it could be something to do with Turtles don’t bother asking tbh. All in all a chilled holiday and good food and drinks good. I would recommend 👍

Stunning hotel with beautiful architecture and pool design. Olea is a great choice for couples looking to relax, with excellent on-site restaurants and a calm atmosphere. The staff are friendly and clearly try hard, though at times the attentiveness wasn’t quite at the level you’d expect from a hotel of this standard. Overall, a very good option for a relaxing stay in Zante.
