Our stay at the Grecotel Olympia Oasis & Aqua Park was excellent overall. The breathtaking views from the hotel and its sister properties, combined with the extensive facilities, made for a truly memorable experience. Pre-Arrival Assistance Prior to our arrival, we were in email contact with Kalliopi, who kindly arranged our transfers to and from the hotel from Zakynthos. The process was seamless, with our ferry tickets ready for collection exactly where we were told they would be. Additionally, a booster seat was provided in the taxi for our son, as requested. Thank you, Kalliopi, for your thoughtful and efficient assistance! Check-In and Hospitality We visited in late September as a family of three (two adults and a child). Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Stenia at reception, who invited us to sit comfortably while the check-in process was completed. Shortly after, a staff member offered us refreshing cold drinks, much appreciated after a morning of travel. Throughout our nine-night stay, Stenia continued to check in with us whenever we saw her. Her genuine care and attentiveness were a highlight of our visit—thank you, Stenia! Accommodation While the overall facilities were impressive, we agree with other reviewers that the rooms could use a refresh. Our family room was a good size, with the added convenience of twin basins in the bathroom, but it lacked modern touches like sufficient electrical outlets and looks a little dated. We often had to unplug bedside lamps to charge our devices. Additionally, a full-length mirror and coat hooks by the front door would have been welcome additions. Despite these minor inconveniences, the room was clean, restocked daily, and featured a lovely view of the garden and sea. A small pull-out clothes airer on the patio was a thoughtful touch. Dining Experiences The dining options exceeded our expectations. Both the buffet and à la carte restaurants offered excellent meals. Buffets at all-inclusive resorts can be hit or miss, but this one stood out for its cleanliness, variety, and flavourful dishes. We especially enjoyed dining on the veranda, overlooking the pools and sea. The Italian Trattoria at Cap Voyage was a standout. The stunning views, delicious food, and attentive service made it a highlight of our stay. Our thanks to the entire team for making this dining experience so special. Leisure and Activities We spent most of our days enjoying the lazy river pool, beach, and aqua park. The pools, grounds, and beach were meticulously maintained, and the staff across all areas—from the bars to the golf cart drivers—were consistently friendly and helpful. The aqua park was a major highlight of our stay. It was never overly crowded and offered a great selection of slides and splash areas suitable for all ages. While the section of slides for younger children could benefit from some pool floor maintenance, this didn’t diminish the fun or the overall experience. The lifeguards at the aqua park were
