Just remember that you are away from the beach and the sights. If you stay here in hot summer, like we did, you will not walk anywhere from the hotel as such. I felt a little like the staff were leaving you alone at all costs, we were not honeymooners…. Like the cleaners were out too fast when we were in the room, the “bell boy” didn’t step into the room to pick up our bag the last morning- I had to bring them out to give to him. The reception was understaffed in the morning. Our departure wasn’t that smooth. Also there was a party with a super loud band playing repetitive music to 11.30 pm in the restaurant by the pool. I think it was a Greek holiday? The surrounding rooms got no rest whatsoever. After a day in the sun, everyone is exhausted and we just wanted to sleep.

It’s a truly stunning hotel, everywhere you look is a photograph waiting to be taken. The rooms are wonderful. The meals were a dream, breakfast and dinner beautiful. The restaurant staff very attentive.

The pillows and bed linen were average. It’s under a flight path which we didn’t realise.

The private pool, the staff were fabulous

They need to improve the restaurant’s inside, very expensive and not good at all. The Peruvian/Japanese are more expensive than the best restaurants in the Island. I had a small sea bass for €56, with maionese sauce, really bad honestly.

The breakfast is amazing, also the staff. The bar at the swim poll serves a good and fresh food. The concierge is very nice, a plenty of good recommendations. The massage is one of the best I’ve already had.

We stayed at Olea for our honeymoon. The hotel is amazing and the staff is very kind and helpful. Ioanna, the concierge, planned our itinerary in Zakynthos and made our days there the best possible! Her recommendations were impeccable. It was truly unforgettable.

Can’t think of anything

Everything was great

Stayed in June 2022

Setting was absolutely beautiful. The architect had thought of everything. Our private pool was not overlooked by anything so had complete privacy. Details like adding plants to the room roofs meant that our view was just uninterrupted greenery! The smell of lavender and rosemary were everywhere and the whole hotel was incredibly peaceful. Yoga overlooking a view of the island was great.

No possibility for late check-out. Breakfast is very extensive but no croissants or danish. Egg dishes available á la carte but very specific dishes. Limited space to put your things in the bathroom.

Beautiful swim up room, very spacious grounds that are well maintained. Staff is very friendly.

Nothing. Maybe just one detail that could be annoying (sometimes) is that the hotel is a little bit far from the center and the beach if you’re walking. You have to rent a car or always take a taxi if you want to move a little bit outside the hotel, but not a big deal.

The place is really beautiful and relaxing. Food is very good quality and various. The Pacifico Restaurant by Nikkei is absolutely delicious ! The staff is very kind and polite. Definitely my favorite stay in Zakynthos !

Stayed in June 2022

The breakfast menu could be expanded, offering more choice, maybe have some variation from day to day like the dinner menu.

An incredible stay in what is most likely the best resort I've visited amongst the greek islands! From arrival, the impeccable architectural impressions and wonderfully polite and professional grounds and reception staff set the tone for a wonderful trip. Every corner of the hotel is beautiful, inviting and picture worthy from sunrise till sunset. The rooms were simple, clean and spacious. The Executives Suites are particularly great with such lovely views (especially upper levels) with refreshingly generous private pools. The food was great, and its nice to have 4 different restaurant offerings on ground. Flow Wine & Dine is a must with magnificent views and equally excellent food. The staff were informative on all aspects of the island and were swift to organise trips and experiences outside the hotel. Visiting the numerous secluded beaches, shipwreck, the caves and the turtles is a must to fully appreciate the island and capture the real beauty of Zakynthos!

the only tiny remark that I have is the lack of shady areas around the swimming pool. Architecture is not allowing parasols, but when it is 30°, we preffered to have some shade instead of hiding in our room.

where to start .... this hotel really has everything. The architecture is phenomenal. The service is exceeding all expectations and every single question is handled with a smile. As my wife is an MS patient, the staff really was concerned about her well being and adivised us an great fysiotherapist in Zakynthos city. The food in every restaurant is high quality and excellents (proof is that I gained 3 kilo's in 1 week). My preference is Pacifico by Nikkei, great food in a bohemian setting with nice trendy lounge music. We will definitely go back !

Please do not change anything as everything was perfect !

Amazing Breakfast, with a lot of variety of food, very fresh and well presented. The restaurant Cocoon and Nikkei serve fantastic food. We didn't have the chance to test de Flow. Very quiet and beautiful hotel with relaxing music. The quality of the room was perfect. Very nice Spa. Awesome advice and organisation from Johanna the concierge. Everyone is very helpful and pays attention to details so that you feel very special.

Seriously nothing

The hotel is located higher in the hills of Tsivili. It seems that the hill is mainly occupied by hotels and resorts so it’s quite in the evening. The service goes beyond expectations. We got a free upgrade and the staff was very flexible with checkout-time because of the bad weather. The resort itself is stunningly beautiful. Olea left a very good impression during my stay in Zakynthos. Very memorable.

There was a slightly funny smell in our room the whole time.

This hotel is beautiful. The room was stunning with loads of space and a beautiful view. The staff are wonderful and do everything they can to make sure you have a great stay.

This hotel has everything you could wish for, we booked an executive suite with sea view and even got upgraded to an even bigger honeymoon suite! The staff is amazing and will do anything to fullfill your needs! I would recommend everyone who is coming to Zakynthos to stay at Olea!

- wasps <- there are tons of them, we usually love sitting outside when we eat our breakfast but unfortunately that was impossible here. I appreciate that’s not the hotel’s fault but it has definitely affected our experience - the room we got initially wasn’t what we expected, we were directly looking at other people sitting by the pool and it was very loud, but we were able to move after one day so that wasn’t too much of an issue. But if we were not offered a replacement we would consider changing the hotel/room type as the room was really bad with no privacy at all. - there was also some issue with picking up the ironing board from our room - the fridge has a quite warm temperature inside - there’s no coffee machine in the room :(

- fantastic rooms, very tastefully designed - amazing food and drinks - those are spectacular, we ate at many places on the island but sometimes we wished we have eaten at the hotel - the staff is so kind and nice, literally everyone. Sometimes people stop when they are driving to offer you a lift - feels like a family. They have also arranged our taxi to/from other places and they offered a possibility to charge the fee to the room which was very nice as taxis are usually cash only. The test before flying to the uk has also been arranged for us at the hotel, which was very convenient. - feels very small, there are no crowds at breakfast (we did usually eat early but even when we ate at 9:30 it was still quite nice) - transfer to/from the beach - wish they have mentioned that before because we almost didn’t choose the hotel because of that. Olea is located on a hill and there’s approximately 15min on foot to the beach, but coming back you need to walk uphill which might be challenging so the transfer is nice.

The food all looks incredible but the reality is it tasted bland & lacked any kind of flavour. After having dinner once a the main restaurant, we decided we wouldn't bother returning. There is also a huge wasp problem present at the main restaurant where breakfast & dinner is served. No one could sit outside without being swarmed by wasps. They offered smoking incense but this doesn't deter them. Sometimes before we even got back to our seats from the buffet, their were wasps on our plate. Some members of staff acknowledged there is a nest somewhere that they are trying to locate while others shrugged off the situation making it feel like it wasn't something we shouldn't be bothered by. We also had mentioned on booking that it was our honeymoon but this wasn't really acknowledged in any way on arrival, not a problem - just a bit of shame.

The hotel is so calming & relaxing / it never felt overcrowded or too busy. It looks beautiful & the pool is lovely too. We really liked the "beach" / pool bar. This was a great spot to chill out in the day or relax in with a cocktail after dinner (I asked the barman for an off menu spicy margarita & he made an excellent one). Our room was gorgeous too. We were in one of the superior pool rooms where you could jump straight into the pool from your room which is fab. Our sun bed platform was shared with the room next door though which is not ideal when the rooms are priced the same as the sun bed platforms that aren't shared. Also, it was our honeymoon & the extra privacy would have been appreciated. The spa treatments we had were brilliant & the staff at the spa were lovely & really welcoming / kind.

The property is beyond stunning and rooms divine. We had a swim up room but shared with a few other rooms and loved it. Food at the main lunch cocoon restaurant was amazing every time. Olea is a must stay - we can’t wait to come back

Annoying wasps around food, and we bizarrely had a few pillows that smelled like wet dog which the hotel didn't change over so we just tossed them onto the floor.

Pool and hotel were lovely. Very calming and beautifully designed.

Beautifully-designed hotel.

The only thing I can say is that the fine dinning restaurant for me was a bit overpriced and overvalued, too. Food was fine, but I would save myself for other fine dinning places in Greece next time. The other little problem is waiters for breakfast and dinner buffets. They were very friendly and kind, but service was a bit messy sometimes, unfortunately. Still totally worth the stay!!!!

The room was phenomenal. The whole hotel area was beautifully designed. It's the perfect place to get peace and rest. The pools are beautiful. The breakfast is pretty nice and the buffet dinner, too. Nice room service and staff is super professional and friendly. The spa is pretty good too. I really was sad to leave. It was the perfect vacation, just what I needed.

Except for the lady manager that was extremely kind and welcoming, helpful and genuine, the rest of the stuff were not very friendly, and every time we asked little help with different things, their attitude was not a kind one and we felt like we are bothering them. When checked out, since parking is a but far from reception, we asked for a drive with the golf cart, to drop out bags to the car and back to reception for check out. The boy was obviously bothered by our request. I believe for the price of the accomodation, these little things should be offered easily

The location is amazing, with and impressive view, the outdoors and the pools are beautiful, and the breakfast and dinner buffet had a great variaty of options. The rooms minimalistic decoration is fabulous, and we were offered an upgrade on the room! Food tasted great! We asked for late check out and they kindly allowed it.
