A lovely hotel right on the beach. Great location next to all the restaurants and shopping. Easy to get a Taxi to Zante and the staff were most importantly the best of all! Especially Roxy and Johnnie. Overall, everybody was great though. Oh, and Ana upfront, made sure we were taken care of getting to and from the port. Price was great, definitely recommend. Everything you need is right here for an excellent 45 day vacation and not breaking the bank. Breakfast of course was excellent to start the day.

The room was cleaned every day bedding changed every other day, towels every day.
The bed was really comfortable with good quality pillows and sheets.
There was a coffee machine in the room you were given 2 capsules a day, if I wanted more asked and got them. You get toiletries and they are really good quality.
The hotel is in a great position on the beachfront and also has 2 well kept pools.
The breakfast is good and if something has run out they refill if asked.
All staff are lovely, friendly and helpful.
We have stayed here before and will stay again.
In my opinion the only thing that lets the hotel down is the bathroom it’s tired and could do with a refresh.

The staff at this hotel made you feel like family. It’s small, 25 rooms. We had a balcony overlooking the ocean, so did four other family members. The views were amazing and two out of nine nights we got to see fireworks.The rooms were clean, air-conditioning was great. The beds were comfortable. And my grandkids loved the breakfast. The tubs were a little tricky to get in and out of for my 84-year-old mother but for everyone else it was fine. Yanni was the best bartender and he can make a great latte. I highly recommend this hotel. I would go there again.

Short walk to many restaurant choices, shops, and tours for sale. Various water activities next door. Tour pickup was a short walk. Friendly, helpful staff, who speak English. Clean. Quiet. Clientele seem to be mostly couples and families. Fair price point. Overall cost to do things and dine out in the area is quite reasonable. I did not and would not rent a car.

Fantastic hotel right on the beach

The staff were very helpful and welcoming from the minute we arrived and we felt totally safe in their hands. The room was lovely and clean with constant fresh towels and bedding, good A/C, black out curtains and toiletries. No additional charges were made for A/C or the safe box which we have found very irritating and expensive at some other hotels! Breakfast buffet was very good with plenty of choice and superb service from the staff who could not do enough for you. The sandy shallow beach was well sheltered by the small harbour with sun beds, umbrellas and beach towels all provided free of charge. We had a fantastic relaxing holiday and cannot wait to return.

Recommended for relaxing holiday

I stayed here for 6 nights in July 2020. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in a panoramic view room. It was very large and had a lovely balcony with a full panoramic view of the ocean.

The best feature of this hotel is the oversized pool (I would guess 25m×10m), a baby pool (i would guess 10mx10m) and deck chairs all around and then on the other side the sea, so you can take your pick of what you would like to do.

I was more interested in seeing the island as i had a car and like to snorkel but it was nice to come home to a pool and a lovely air conditioned room. Bathroom is functional but a little dated, it did not impact my positive experience though!

Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

There is a snack bar that will serve light meals and drinks throughout the day to your deck chairs. Food options were in my opinion a little dissapointing (no gyros!) But over the road there is a restaurant that is better stocked and fairly priced.

Breakfast was average. I dont eat Breakfast so it is always a little lost on me anyway, but perfectly adequate.

Parking is great.

Location is beachfront and there are nice restaurants and bars closeby. The main strip of the area is a 18 minute walk, which can be a little frustrating but i think it is worth it to stay away from the crowds on your own secluded part of the beach.

Overall I would highly recommend.

The room itself was fine, although west facing so got very hot and the window opened up directly onto the public hallway so I couldn't keep the window open at night so had to sleep with the Aircon on which wasn't great :/

Overall a really lovely place, great location (literally ON the beach!), And a lovely breakfast. Area is good for families/young couples with lots of food/bar options

Would definitely recommend!!

Bedbugs and no apologies. DON'T STAY

The hotel staff were actually lovely during our stay but what's happened since has been a night mare.
Our stay: we bought a room that was discounted. When we got there our room was in the basement and on first entry there was a putrid smell of mustiness. There was a dehumidifier going and the aircon was put on straight away. I complained about the smell and was told it was fine and because of the dehumidifier which was working in the room. For the time being I accepted this as it was last minute and I didn't want to be a pain. I now know from my own research that the strong musty smell is the smell that bed bugs release when there is an infestation.
The 2 single beds had been pushed together to create a large double bed for my partner and I, which I thought was helpful. We stayed in the room as there were no other rooms available. The bed was so large that we had our own blankets. My partner placed his bags on the fold out couch and I laid mine on the floor.
The 2nd day my partner made a comment that he thinks this hotel had bed bugs, as he had bites on his legs and ankles. I was not bitten so said to him it must have been mosquitos and dismissed his comments.
We were there for 4 days and he kept commenting that he was sure there were bed bugs. We left and my bites appeared a few days later than him as I am darker and react differently. His bag was infested! We have made multiple attempts to contact the hotel who have denied this & make zero apology. Do not stay here!

Amazing location, amazing hotel.

This hotel is literally on the beach. It is within walking distance of many good restaurants and supermarkets, which are very well stocked. It is the most beautiful setting, with a lovely sandy beach on your doorstep. There are plenty of sunbeds and parasols and you can order food and drink from the bar. The sea is very shallow and you have to walk out a long way before you are out of your depth, making it perfect for children and non swimmwers. The hotel rooms are extremely well equipped and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They all helped us plan some fantastic days out. By the end of the week they were friends. Being a small hotel the service is far more personal and they are interested in you and making your holiday the best it can be. The location is great as you have lots to do in walking distance, but it is not a rowdy resort at all. Would highly recommend.

Great location and Staff but room dissapointing

The staff, the location, the pool area are great, I paid extra for a deluxe room with a sea view (not sure what i paid extra for). I didn't expect for the balcony door to open onto the adjacent room, we had to go out on to the balcony to see the sea. The room I also found quite basic, the bathroom was spacious but tiles around the taps where broken, the shower leaked everywhere other than where it was meant to but you do get the option of a 2 showers and it wasn't deluxe at all plus we had a constant smell of the toilet/sewers and if we accidentally left the bathroom door open, the smell smacks you in the face when entering the room. We made friends with our neighbours and their room was much better. I would book this hotel for the location, staff and pool but I would insist on a better room. I would also not bother to pay for a sea view you are so close to the sea its a waste of money especially if you get the room we got. A big thank you to the staff who are where lovely and really helpful and friendly

Nice seafront hotel with friendly staff.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had our room upgraded on arrival, likely due to availability as it was out of season. Comfortable bed and nice breakfast. Allowed to keep our Room past checkout time to allow for our flight being in the evening.
The only unfortunate downside was that every morning the en-suite and bedroom would smell strongly of sewage, coming from the open floor gulley in the bathroom. We spoke about this with reception and some chemicals were poured down the drain elevating the problem but only temporarily.
Had this issue not been apparent I would have given a superb rating.

Best hotel in Tsilivi

Absolutely amazing stay at the Al Mare. Couldn't fault this hotel if i tried. Everything from service, friendly staff, location was perfect. Best hotel by far in tsilivi. Pool is fab, right on the beach,beach has a lot of stones so purchase a good pair of beach shoes. You can a few metres for sandy beach but full of tourists on the sand part of the beach. All staff at the al mare always ensure that you are having the best holiday and are always willing to make your stay better. Surrounded by restaurants and bars a few yards away so spoilt for choice. With only 18 rooms
At this hotel it makes it a much more pleasant hotel with not too much people or over crowding. Would highly recommend this hotel. Some people say it's a bit pricey but it is well worth the price to anywhere else you may be considering. Perfect location for a perfect hotel on this island. I'll definitely be returning *****

Loved it!

Love the location. Good area of beach and wonderful view from balcony. Could walk wherever we wanted for food and drinks but it's not right in the noisy area for sleeping, so that's nice.

Staff is very helpful and friendly and booked taxis, made phone calls (and translated), laundry service, even cooked fish for us that we caught. Beyond the extra mile to help out.

Hotel facilities very clean and well kept. Only caveat, the beds are twins that are pushed together and rather hard and the shower curtain was tricky and everything got wet on the floor and counter.

Overall great stay!! Keep the windows closed in the areas with no breeze so your room doesn't fill with mosquitoes!
