Hotel St John Villas

I visited the hotel in May 2024 for the Greek Easter with my family and friends. We stayed in the Orange Tree villa. The villa has three bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, private garden and pool. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen is fully equipped. We enjoyed very much our stay, the rooms were clean and the staff polite and friendly. We dined at the Noya restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of food, the good service and the magnificent views of the Ionian sea. The hotel organized a private boat cruise to the Ship wreck for our family and friends, which turned into an unforgettable and unique experience. We will definitely revisit Zakynthos and will stay in the same hotel.

Very pleasant stay at St John in Zakynthos! Very pleasant, spacious suite with all the necessary comforts, quality materials, impeccable cleanliness, individual swimming pool with terrace exposed to the sun from morning to night! Super gourmet breakfasts! Super staff!

Amazing stay. Luxurious room in the suits with private pool. Very clean, WIFI was very fast, breakfast amazing, pool very clean, view from room was breathtaking! Bed sheets smelled so good, and the bed and pillows were so soft that we didnt want to get up in the morning! Loved this place and would recommend it to anyone.

It was the second year I spent my Easter holidays at Saint John and I am grateful for this choice. This year I wanted to advance the experience and I booked a villa at the top of the hill (room 304) for an even better view and accomodation. The room exhibits minimal architecture with highly modern decoration. The view is spectacular as you witness the Tsilivi beach along with olive tree landscape (highly recommended to spent your time during a sunset). The room service once again was helpful keeping our room clean on a daily basis. I had also a great time at Noya restaurant dinning with my girlfriend and enjoying a majority of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Certainly a place I will not hesitate to visit again and again.

We visited St. John's villas for the second year in a row. This time we stayed at another villa with a modern and minimalist aesthetic, glass walls and great sea views of Tsilivi beach. A totally different experience than the previous time, but with service remaining outstanding! We also tried breakfast at Noya restaurant, which was exquisite, while the gym offered the facilities to keep in shape even during vacation. Can't wait to visit again next year!

The Villa was described by Jet2 holidays as a Luxurious 5 star accommodation. The first thing to say is the accommodation is definitely NOT either luxurious or 5 star. The Villa was very tired and in desperate need of remedial work. This included the decking around the pool which quite frankly needed replacing. When we arrived the grass around the pool was at least a foot high and it took over a week for this to be cut. There was an outside shower to use before going into the pool, unfortunately it was situated so that the water run straight onto the air conditioning units. The bathroom had mould around the bath and each time we showered the show head fell off. When air conditioning was turned on in one of the bedrooms a ver pungent strong smell of cat urine was obvious. These were just some of the issues we faced. In conclusion, St Johns Villa are not either luxurious or 5 star. A better expectation would be to think of them as basic and 1 star. Unfortunately, the price paid did reflect the former not the latter. The Villa is in desperate need of refurbishment and inves**ent.

These villas were described at the time of our booking as 5 star and luxurious throughout but were far from that in our experience! The following is an extract from the complaint we sent to Jet2 holidays: "The area surrounding the swimming pool had rotting decking with grass growing through it, and this was surrounded by overgrown grass and ****s. The outdoor shower was unusable as this had major health & safety issues being sited over the external air conditioning units. The living and dining areas were far from elegantly furnished, were very tired, and extremely cramped for four adults so goodness knows how 6 adults would have coped with this. The kitchen was very poorly equipped, with insufficient equipment, ill-matching glasses and crockery and, again was the whole areas was tired and years passed it best. One of our major gripes was that our villa (Villa backed onto the restaurant and we therefore had to suffer to noise and smells coming from the kitchen’s extractor fan throughout the day. In addition, the area surrounding the villa was not private (people moving to and from the restaurant and reception had open access to our ‘private’ villa surroundings" We were offered £350 compensation by Jet2 (which in no way compensated for how the accommodation spoiled our holiday) but what was even more disappointing was that there has not been any real acknowledgment from Jet2 that the Villas were substandard, and for that reason we would never book accommodations with them ever again as we wouldn't trust their description and rating! There are some some suites on site, which I understand are considerably newer than the villas, and maybe these attract more favourable comments but our experience of the villa were we first shown to, and the one we subsequently stayed in, were pretty similar to that of 'Restlesstraveller - also Sep 2023' Don't waste your money!

We’ve been staying in one of the suites. The room it is amazing, very clean with a nice view. The swimming pool is heated. On the terrace the privacy it is completed. Very nice breakfast and the staff it is amazing, especially Monica and Spiros. They are looking properly after your needs. The staff booked us a private boat and a private car to have a nice trip. The general manager,Narkis it is a lovely person, she is paying a lot of attention about the entire environment. Starting from check in and end it on checkout everything it was perfect. In one word I can describe our stay as AMAZING, definitely we will come back here, it becomes a favorite place for us.

We stayed in the Suites for a few days and throughly enjoyed it. The staff was super nice, everyone from Abdulle, the cart driver to the ladies at the restaurant. The Suite was spacious and beautiful!! We REALLY appreciated that the pool was heated, as we went during the off season and it would have been to cold to use it if it were not heated!!!! You definitely need a car if you are going to stay here as the hotel sits on a hill and while walking down might be ok, walking up at night would not be fun. We had a car so it was not a problem, but I would suggest others have one in advance.
