Right in the centre of Argassi Katerina Palace is the perfect hotel whether you’re travelling with family or as a couple. The hotel is within walking distance from the beach and a taxi or bus ride from Zante town. I travel here every year and cannot fault it. Friendly, welcoming staff and a great location.

The perfect modern hotel. 5 stars.

Had a week in the studio apartments ….the room is very basic and for self catering very limited….a kettle, toaster , full size fridge and 2 hob rings  so no oven or microwave…..the the resort and hotel are nice and the area has plenty of restaurants and a few bars ….it was very quiet and the area closes on the 18th…..very limited beaches and no nice walks along the beach ….Zakinthos was only 2 miles away …this hotel has 2 pools and a lovely outside bar area ….the stall also seemed very friendly….

Later ina palace studios 2

First of all if you are flying with Tui, they do not accept cash only credit card but also they do not accept American Express or Revolut pre paid cards.
Lets get the elephant in the room out of the way first EXTRAS that you may need to pay for. Although Tui do point out some of these extra charges are to be paid locally it does not tell you the magnitude of these costs.

The apartment was nice and clean albeit our bathroom needed a bit of TLC at the close of the season, shower door not closing properly mould around soap shelf and around bottom of shower in the sealant. Taps in shower coated in hard water scale but everything worked ok. The aircon was efficient, towels changed every 3 days, bed ok a little on the firm side. Cooking facilities very very basic.If you have room in your case take tea bags coffee and even cerial as not cheap in resort. An evening meal at some of the nicer restaurants for 2 people will cost around 40 euro with drinks, a similar meal at the Snack Academy (nice meal by the way) cost around 28 euros.Some restaurants like Charlie Chaplins give you a free desert and a liquer shot when you ask for the bill so no need to order a desert there.

Elena on the front desk was very helpful, cost of Aircon was 8 euro per night, Safe 20 euro, tourist tax 0.5 euro per studio or 3 euro per night for hotel room. There were books available in reception to swap or read. Car hire was 30 euro per day for a Hyundai i10 and 10 Euro extra (low season) for full non collision damage waiver.

Greek dancing at the pool available at least once a week, just buy a drink at the pool.

The drinks and food prices at the pool were ok and we did not feel ripped off but we used the beach and found a bar with free sundbeds like Remezzo or Skyfall.

We spent most nights in the Beer Academy or in the bar at the Mini Golf to watch the football matches and the beer prices 3 euro and cocktails 5 euro.Lots of places started to close after the first week of October.

Taxi Price to Zante town was 10 euro or you can get the little train for 7 euro each way. 

At the airport going home a  top tip is to get your water and drinks in Duty free after you go through security but before passport control. It will cost 90 cents for water in duty free or 5 euros after passport control. 

All things considered we would return to these studios again BUT Tui need to be more transparent with additional costs. In addition to the cost of the holday we spent around 900 euro for 10 days and we did not splurge and do not drink a lot but that did include spening around 15-20 euro on lunch and a drink. 


Katerina Palace Studio 1  Review

Katerina Palace Hotel was just brilliant. A really lovely, spotlessly clean, and welcoming hotel owned by a lovely family who really made me feel at home.

Nothing was too much bother and Katerina and Christina and all the staff who work there were great and gave me some really good information about Zakynthos. The "Greek Night" that was put on by the family was absolutely a highlight.

The room was lovely, spacious, and clean and the bar also served some great local Greek food. The hotel is just a short stroll onto the main road in Argassi and not far from Zakynthos Town - i took me 30 mins to walk there - but there is also a shuttle bus that I also took.

A brilliant hotel, with such lovely staff and owned by an even nicer family.

Thankyou loads! Yamas!

Beautiful hotel with great staff - close to the centre

Myself and my partner have just returned from a 2 week stay at Katerina Palace for our first year anniversary. This was our first holiday together and we were disappointed to see that our double room was infact a twin room with 2 beds furnished in single bedding and pushed together therefore we basically slept separately for the entire holiday which was a shame. When you sat on the beds they moved so you couldn’t even attempt to fall asleep with a cuddle or one of you would end up on the floor in the middle of the beds. The hotel was aware it was a special occasion as our Friends had arranged for the staff to put champagne and fruit bowls and cards in our room. Most places I’ve stayed with twin beds atleast have double bedding or the little bars holding the beds together at the bottom but not at this hotel. 

This was a shame as everything else about the hotel was faultless from staff to cleanliness to pool etc. I would’ve definitely returned to this hotel without any hesitation had the sleeping arrangements been better as it did put a dampener on the experience especially our first holiday away on our 1 year anniversary. 

However if I return with friends I would stay again but not as a couple

Single beds with seperate bedding in a double room

We have just returned from Zante first hols together, all staff were friendly including the bar staff Nick & Chris, rooms were clean & tidy with fresh towels every other day. Would highly recommend this hotel if ever visiting in the future 

PepsiCo Princesses 

Yet another great holiday at KP. I love it, everyone is so kind. It’s like being at your aunties. Everything is so clean. The guys at the bar are great. Alwa6 looking after us. 
We will be back next year 

Great holiday 

This hotel is lovely the staff are very pleasant we were here for a 60th Birthday and what a welcome we all had the owners put on a fantastic spread of food in the breakfast room for around 30 people we had Greek dancing by the staff this was an amazing experience I would highly recommend this hotel

60th Birthday

Emailed 3 times asking for a high floor. When I checked in, she said yes was a high floor. They took us to another block. Our Room was on 2nd floor (un-refurbished room, which I thought the whole hotel had been refurbished, room was nothing look like anything on the website) she was adamant it was top floor, but it wasn't because I could clearly see a balcony above, when I sat at bar at night. I endured 7am musical chairs shifters, no respect at all. Now breakfast was chaos, such a small area, serving very limited food especially for the size of the hotel. Tables all very close to each other, was not a nice experience at all. All soft drinks were awful, didn't touch coffee. I did not see one person do any cleaning around the pools at all. The glass on top pool was filthy. Speaking of top pool we could not get a sunbed at all in the morning for the duration of our holiday & infuriates me when beds are reserved so early. Ended up going beach, paying £8 euros per day. We would then come back around 4pm & get a bed by the bottom pool for couple hours. You could see the dirt in bottom of this pool. Argassi, first time here, chose here for a change to Gran Canaria. Prices are like back home, so expensive. Argassi could be better it's a lovely place, ate some lovely food. We walked into Zante Town, upsetting to see so much rubbish, bottles, plastics strewn along the edge all the way along. I can't believe these are not being picked up & bins overflowing. Maybe the hotel tax you pay, should go towards sorting litter & getting the cats neutered, so many babies. I wanted to bring them home. Not much in Town, but worth a visit. Get the train opposite Legends Bar and every night loud music, tacky in my opinion & spoils Argassi and doesn't belong there. Places to eat, Zorbas (my favourite), Red Wine, Zinc & Ethnic 

On a final note, we had a good time, but after arriving home on Tuesday night 27th September, couple days later, me & my husband were ill, vomiting & diarrhoea & put it down to either food poisoning or something, not sure where from, we never ate at the hotel, apart from continental breakfast & that was not every morning. The last night Monday 26th we ate at Ethnics. Tuesday morning, light breakfast at hotel, then lunchtime we bought 2 chicken baguettes at Airport to take on the plane, but hard to say where this has stemmed from. This has put a damper on me ever returning to Greece again & will stick to Gran Canaria as I've never been ill from returning 5 years in a row.

It's okay, but won't be returning

All the staff were very friendly during our visit and made extra effort with the two babies we were there with. 

The room was modern and well equipped with a large shower room. Our balcony overlooked the mini golf course which was not very private. The only downside to our room was the kettle did not switch off after it had boiled so before we realised this the kettle had been on for 30 mins and was boiling hot! 

Breakfast was basic continental with different pastries and hot options each day. Queuing system for coffee/ toast didn't make sense as it was a free for all but if you got down when not too busy this wasn't a problem. 

There's 2 pools so ample places to sit during the day although like every hotel there's not many free sun beds past 9am so get down early if you want the sun. 

The pool bar serves a good selection of drinks and food for really reasonable prices, we ate there a few times and enjoyed all the food we tried. 

Greek night on Wednesday was a little disappointing after having gone to one previously. There wasn't much interaction and the dancers ended up starting a lot later than advertised. 

Location is very close to shops, bars and restaurants all within a 5 minute walk so you won't have to venture far to get essentials or dinner!

Overall lovely stay for the price!
