“Fantastic holiday in Zante - want to go back - George you are a legend!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

We were a bit worried by some of the comments on here after we had just booked our 2 week holiday for the end of August 2011 but thankfully we didn't have anything to worry about as we had a great time! Ok, we stayed in the main apartments which are set around the pool and bar called Splash. We were told by some of the guests who visit year after year that when they get really busy, some guests are put in the next door block called Razis Erieta Studios (as opposed to just Razis Studios) which are apparently not anywhere near as nice - actually when I checked my booking it said we should have been in Erieta so looks like we were lucky there. Our apartments were basic but clean enough - we knew at 2 * we shouldn't expect too much so we were happy enough. The apartments are owned by Christos who is about 65 and doesn't speak much English so was a little hard work - luckily though, his son-in-law George owns the pool and bar (Splash) and he speaks very good English and is so lovely and helpful - and really makes sure you have a good time and are ok. We would go back just to see George. It's a small, family run setup about a 10 min walk to the main "strip" - loads of shops, restaurants and bars all within an easy walk - George recommended lots of good places to eat which was fab. The beach is a little further but still walkable - and once you're there, it goes on for miles! The rooms are cleaned on Sun & Thurs which was a little infrequent but still, we didn't really mind for the money we paid. There are two floors; ground and first - we were on the first floor which was a lot hotter as the sun really heated the roof in the daytime - air con was about 7 euros per night so we didn't bother as our budget was tight and it was hot but ok - just take some mozzie stuff and you'll be ok to leave the doors open to your balcony on the top floor - wouldn't do that on the ground floor though as it might be unsafe obviousy - not that we saw crime at the apartments at all. There were beggars and pickpockets in the strip preying on the drunk louts but we were fine. We had an amazing two weeks here and would go back but make sure we were in the main apartments, not the Erieta as we were warned away from these by those that know. Lots of people return to see George year after year so that says a lot! We will be seeing him again - he's a star. George's tip for couples/older people was to go mid Augsut onwards as it's quieter with less youngsters/groups.

Room Tip: Ground floor rooms are cooler but share a terrace, upstairs have private balconies but are hotter

“Wouldn't bother”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2011

The studio appartments are near to the main strip but down a dark country road so a little unsafe at night but quite pleasant during the day. The rooms are basic which is expected of a 2* but I did not think much of the facilities. The room was a little grubby & I had to clean the shower plug of hair as this had not been done & the shower started flooding. There were dead bugs in the bathroom cupboard & around the window of the front door - again I guess these areas don't fall under the cleaners job spec. I only used the fridge in the kitchenette, there was a bottle of water in there but due to the uncleanliness of the room I was unsure if it was complimentary or had just been left so I did not open it! There is a list of breakage fines on the wall which seemed abit excessive especially as it did not appear that any payment was then used to fix/replace items. For example if you stain any linen it was 30euros however although my bed linen & towels appeared clean every item had some form of stain or mark. The cleaner is supervised by a man I think is the manager/owner who appears to only speak Greek but he is quite aggressive in his actions. He would not give a boy his suitcase back on the day of departure until he paid for a broken plastic chair - he wanted 40euros but the eventually settled on 20. As we were in the middle of the block we were always out before the cleaner knocked but you MUST leave the room, we did notice after the cleaner had been both chocolate & cookies in our fridge had been eaten. My suitcase lock also broke but unsure if this is related. The redeeming feature of the studios is the pool & bar opposite. This was quite nice but as there is worker accomodation nearby the pool does get over run with PR people using the facilities. George the barman seemed friendly at first but I would be very wary of him if staying here if you are a girl & if he knocks at your door at night DO NOT ANSWER!! Due to an incident at Razis we changed to 2 other hotels before leaving Greece & can confirm there are nicer appartments in just as good location with similar ratings so my advice would be give Razis a miss as theres much better, friendlier & safer places available in Laganas!!
