Alykanas Beach Hotel and Apartments

The hotel is fine. The rooms are basic but large enough and spotless, the cleaners do an excellent job. The reception staff are very pleasant. The location is perfect for beach and also so close to Alykanas and Alykes town centres. Some of the previous complaints are a bit harsh. All in all a good hotel. Now that Thomas Cook has gone and Tui taken over I hope it does not change too much only for the better.

I have just returned from a recent family holiday staying here at Alykanas Beach Apart-hotel. This hotel is in the perfect location, right on the beach front with plenty of restaurants and shops close by. Also for anyone that struggles with walking the location is very flat which makes it easy for walking. If you are not bothered about going out of the hotel while sun-bathing the pool bar is great for either breakfast, dinner and tea or even beer o'clock! The rooms themselves could do with updating a little, but other than that they were very clean! We were here when Thomas Cook collapsed but the staff (including the Thomas Cook reps) were always there to make sure we were still enjoying the holiday. What made the stay a little better was the hotels dog Dave!! He's a sweetie, and loves a fuss, sunbathing around the pool/ beach and staying out till late around Alykanas partying! I would highly recommend it here, and I hope this gets taken over for the next season!

Stayed here for a fortnight in mid September. This hotel is in the perfect location. Right on the beach in the centre of the bay. Quiet but a very short walk from the Alykanas village shops and restaurants. To the right along the beach you can walk to the small harbour where there are lovely restaurants overlooking the crystal clear water. To the left you can take a short stroll along the river to Alykes, another beachside resort, slightly more upmarket than Alykanas. The Alykanas Beach Hotel has apartments ranged around a garden courtyard with a snack and bar area facing the large pool. The apartments are very clean and simple, basic but adequate. Lovely staff, good pool plenty of shady seating and sun loungers. A quad bike is an ideal way to explore the island. Very hilly inland but worth the effort to find quiet rocky inlets and swim in the turquoise sea. Particularly beautiful is Porto Limnionas. Local buses run to Zante town and beyond to the sandy beaches beyond. Highly recommend St Nicholas beach in the far south with its little white chapel and rustic restaurants. Very quiet and scenic. To the north Agios Nikolaos is a pretty harbour near the lighthouse, windmill and Blue Caves.
