Kind regards, George Balaskas Hotel General Manager. We have stayed in TUI hotels for years but we did not find the staff that friendly, even trying to make conversation was hard work. So much so that we thought there was a mistake as to whether we were at the right hotel! Having looked on both the TUI and Caravel website there is no mention of a so called loft room, certainly when booking I would have questioned the size of the room, which I was told was 40mts . Our colleagues showed you the bottles and you agreed that the water was fine. The island of Zakynthos is famous for the sea turtles. The island didnt need to win me over as it already has my heart but now so does this hotel! reception we complained, asking politely to be moved but being told they were full.

This was our 8th trip to tsilivi and decided as a treat we would book this hotel , with a swim up pool room! The Facilities Two pools - we only used the main one. Yes the sunbeds were full by around 10am but everyone looked to have got one, noone was on the grass. The buffet area which catered for breakfast lunch and dinner had an unbelievable choice and of the highest quality. Lots of lounge sofa areas with views over the ocean, comfy seats inside and options to eat outside at meal times. Thank you to all the amazing staff and management for my experience at the Caravel, it is definitely a hotel Ill revisit in the future if I get to have a cheeky break again without my kids.
