"Nestled in the olive groves and minutes from Psarou Beach, this family owned hotel is a small jewel for those looking for privacy and Zakynthos charm."
"Room adequate for the price, but air con not great and bed soft and uncomfortable. Staff were very nice, esp Ruth on front desk, breakfast great and available until 10:30 with full spread. Pools excellent and only a short walk to the lovely beach and bars/restaurants"
"We have one of the most amazing stay of our life! Christa manager of the hotel it’s simply the best. Room was perfect food is amazing, all the staff is super.
We are used to travel in 5 star hotel and we never had so many attentions like Elegance. Thanks Christa you are the best person that we could meet and you create an amazing stay to your hotel!"
"The most unique and beautiful resort I have ever experienced. Everything from the service, food, the beach, the grounds, the views, the garden and farm were exceptional."
"Beautiful clean rooms and great surroundings, both pools are just fabulous. The vegan restaurant was absolutely amazing with very creative food and staff also so lovely. The breakfast was average with very little vegan options which was very surprising considering the vegan restaurant at the hotel. It was really just toast and cereal available."
"Amazing staff, so helpful and wonderful to us when we checked in very last minute due to a flight cancellation. Is a party hotel but cannot fault them one bit they really made us feel welcome and would definitely return."
"Family run hotel, rooms more than adequate, clean and functional. Staff very friendly , well situated for all the local amenities,bars and restaurants."

"We had such a fantastic stay at Lesante Classic and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, high-quality family holiday in Zante.
From the moment we arrived, every member of staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The team were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout our stay—always ready to help with a smile and clearly committed to making our holiday special.
Our room was amazing: comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The daily housekeeping was excellent, so it was always a pleasure to return to a fresh, well-kept room after a day by the pool or exploring the island.
The food was also a real highlight. There was plenty to enjoy, but the all-day menu served at the cafés and pool was especially great—delicious, convenient, and perfect for relaxed family days without needing to interrupt the fun.
Lesante Classic has the ideal atmosphere for switching off and spending quality time together. With its welcoming staff, beautiful and immaculate rooms, great food, and laid-back setting, it made for a truly memorable family break. We cannot wait to return!"
Lesante Blu - The Leading Hotels of the World, Adults Only
10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved it here! It was the perfect place to celebrate our honeymoon.
Our room came with a giant jacuzzi bath and private large pool. It’s a short walk to the crystal clear ocean for your own private beach (exclusive to the resort) the staff was extremely helpful and kind. The food and service was amazing! The only thing I will suggest is more Greek cuisine options. Everything is very pricey as well so come prepared. The included breakfast was incredible and they have everything you need including transportation, rental car service, spa, gym, and four restaurants to eat at. They clean your room twice a day and provide fresh towels snd robes every day too. We highly recommend this place if you want somewhere exclusive, romantic, peaceful, and luxury."
"Great food, exclusive Grecotel only location, amazing water park, the best beach ever. Excellent al-la-carte restaurants with stunning views. Same as at Costa Botanica, it never feels too busy - you can always find a sun bed, limited queuing for drinks at the beach bar, water park with minimal queues on slides. Water activities run by a lovely family at the beach were great fun. Water temperature was perfect both in the pools and in the sea. The beach is cleaned daily so no sea weed at all. Kids loved to play near the natural springs on the beach in the sand to create rivers running down to the sea. Staff was friendly throughout.
Room felt dated and some facilities are in need of upgrading which can be excused given how grant the place as a whole feels. The bed was very creaky which was a nuisance with the kids in the family room. Beach bar opens at 11am while 10.30am would have fitted better with our schedule.
This is our 2nd time at a Grecotel after visiting Costa Botanica. We highly recommend both places for a family holiday with primary school children.
We travelled from the UK to Zakinthos and took Levante Ferries over to Kyllini. While overall a longer journey than flying to Kalamata, the ferry is a nice experience with short taxi rides either end which avoids a long car/coach transfer."
"We arrived late at night . We were given a room which had no privacy, balcony overlooking the entrance of the restaurant. Really disappointing.
We had to pay to upgrade and changed rooms."
"Very nice clean hotel. Location was perfect for the activities we had arranged. 25 min to airport, and almost the same to go downtown. Little bit noisy in some rooms that face the main street but nothing to worry about. Excellent staff very helpful but a little bit overpriced. Overall is a very good and pleasant place to stay"
"Modern base with great staff, but mixed for families with older kids
We spent 8 days here in early August as a family of four. Overall, the hotel offers modern comfort and friendly service, though several aspects could be improved for family stays.
Rooms: Modern, spacious, and very accommodating with comfortable beds, great storage, and an excellent shower. Housekeeping was daily and pleasant, though floors needed more thorough hoovering. Nighttime noise was an issue, with younger guests below behaving inappropriately in private swim-up pools.
Dining: The restaurant is clean and well laid out with attentive, polite staff. However, the buffet area feels small, food variety is limited, there is no dedicated kids' corner, child-friendly choices are minimal, and the snack bar needs more options.
Location & Amenities: Excellent location close to the beach, shops, restaurants, and activities. The pool is nice but lacks waterslides, and there is no entertainment for kids aged 6+.
Additionally, while the staff were welcoming, we experienced uncomfortable staring from some Eastern European guests towards our mixed-race family.
A solid, clean hotel, but better dining variety, more activities for older children, and less nighttime disruption would improve the family experience."
