Bitzaro Grande Hotel

“ One of the cleanest hotels we have stayed in. Rooms comfortable but there did seem to be a shortage of hot water. There was a good selection of food, but it wasn't always very hot although there was a microwave which solved this problem for us. The snacks from the pool bar were excellent at lunchtime and the bar service very good, never a long wait even when they were busy - very efficient staff. A very pleasant stay.

“ Top Tip: The Kalimera supermarket down the road 200 yards right out of the hotel is terrific. 2 tables set up outside and help your self to a cold glass from the freezer. a beer from the fridge and make use of the bottle opener provided, very traditional place and supermarket prices.

“ This is a very lovely hotel. Rooms are very adequate and very clean. Poolside area is great with a bar for snacks and drinks. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We were worried about going 'all inclusive' but we needn't have. The food was exceptional, maybe a lack of traditional dishes but all the same, a nice variety of food. Drink as much as you like of the local stuff. A very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

“ This hotel was spotlessly clean, the food was excellent although we did have one evening meal where the choice was not to our taste , and the staff were great. The downside was the entertainment on an evening. It starts at 9.00 and finishes at 11.00. There is bingo every night for the first 45 minutes followed by entertainment by an animation team. The staff on the team were really nice but not the entertainment. However the greek night was good, where some dancers came in and one night they had a singer on called Kelly who was brilliant. We had a wonderful week as the weather apart from one day was perfect and the pool area was brilliant.

“ Bitzaro Grand fantastic hotel--excellent rooms large by most hotel standards, rooms cleaned daily/clean towels everyday,linen changed. Surroundings stunning, plum,pomegranite, lemon,lime trees scattered around and beautiful shrubs and flowers adorn the hotel. Pool(s) clean plenty of sunbeds and grounds to kick back relax and soak up the sun. Could not fault the AI food, eggs, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms, toast cereals, pastries for breakfast, coffee, tea, juices and lots more. Lunch menu good hot food, evening menu good hot food, always varied menu,red and white wine on tap including AI alchohol, soft drinks, tea coffee--you can even help yourself to beer at the lobby bar. Food buffet style and always plenty of choice. Hotel staff friendly and helpful. Bar and restaurant staff friendly and work really hard. Animation team well what can I say "wobble quack":) they work hard all day and evening and even though some of the daytime/evening games/entertainment are a bit cheesy "flip flop flicking" and "human horse racing" night, it kept everyone amused and yes they play 2 games of bingo every evening but with a full house prize of 270euros who could resist the "wobble quacks" and "legs of a lady" so funny.
Beach about a 5 minute walk away but well worth it gentle slop with hardly a ripple in the beautiful warm sea and you can see where the logger head turtles have nested and hatched. Some aeroplane noise as hotel/beach not far from airport but hey as the days go on you do not take any notice.

“ Top Tip: Go to Argassi and eat at Zorba's restaurant--wow food excellent 6 fantastic mains, wine flowing throughout meal, beers, soft drinks change from 70euros.
Hire a car (but not from Hermes car rental in Kalamaki manager so rude) and visit the stunning beaches and surrounding towns.
Visit Zante town, lovely shops, places to eat and plenty of history.
Would recommend hiring a car as you get to see the beautiful island/towns/beaches of Zante (Zakinthos) but DO NOT hire from Hermes rentals on the Kalamaki strip had a bad experience with the manager when our hire car broke down he gave Greek people a bad name so rude. All in all would highly recommend Bitzaro Grande--you will find lots of guest at the hotel go back year after year so to me this hotel doesn't even have to sell itself worth ever single penny of anyone's hard earned cash. Book with Travel Republic so much cheaper than Thompson and other large travel companies.
