White Olive Elite Laganas

The food was varied and of very good quality, with plenty of choice every day. The pool was great, and there was never a problem finding a sunbed at any time of the day. The beach is only about a 3-minute walk from the hotel, which is very convenient. The all-inclusive offer included a very wide selection of drinks. What’s also worth mentioning is that if someone wanted to buy drinks outside the all-inclusive menu, the prices were very reasonable and affordable. The reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The only downside was the animation program–during our one-week stay there were only three activities (two themed evening events and one morning aerobics session). However, this might have been because we stayed at the end of September. The main street in Laganas is about a 15-minute walk away. Overall, a very pleasant stay and a hotel I would recommend.

We had 55 guests join us at our amazing week at the white olive elite hotel in Zakynthos for our wedding, and what a week it was! The hotel was so helpful with luggage, allergies with meals and just all round a friendly bunch. The rooms and hotel felt very clean every day we were there, and nice and spacious. The all inclusive buffet was great, catering for friends and family with allergies and other needs. Food was generally hot and fresh and also quite varied which I liked. The location was ideal for us, just a 5min walk away from the beaxh and around a 10min walk to town and the strip. So if we wanted to go somewhere more lively it wasn't too far. The pool area was also great, with good snacks and drinks on offer. All inclusive drinks were fine, although they did do premium cocktails for a bit extra which were amazing! The hotel felt very safe as there was always security there at night. The hotel even provided some nice wine and a fruit platter to the room for us on our wedding day! I think all our friends and family thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend this hotel to anyone. The only thing I would say was that when you were outside by the pool, there wasn't that many toilets close by, especially if you were less able but there were some about 2 mins walk away for most guests. Thanks for an amazing stay and wedding week to remember!

We spent a week in this hotel in September 2025. The hotel is beautiful, modern, and also smaller and cozy, which I liked for Greece. The room was fine, quite a standard one – I wouldn’t classify it as 5 stars, but still, it was okay. The view wasn’t great, but we didn’t spend time on the balcony anyway. I liked that everything was connected to a touch display, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and the cleaning was always done well. The food was varied and tasty, although I still missed a few things. We wanted to have a proper traditional Greek gyros for lunch or dinner, but it was never served. Yes, there was a small plate in the snack bar, but it wasn’t the authentic Greek one. At breakfast, I missed some fruits like watermelon or pineapple – there was only hard sour fruit that wasn’t really edible, but otherwise breakfast was fine. Lunch was also good. Dinner probably had the most variety and the biggest selection, so I would say the all-inclusive service at this hotel was overall fine. I was a bit disappointed that there was hardly any entertainment at the pool. The animators came around just a few times in the whole week and only asked if anyone wanted to play darts. We never saw any aqua aerobics or other activities in or outside the pool, so the animation program was quite weak. On the other hand, I liked how everything was comfortable, quiet, peaceful, and cozy at the hotel – maybe a bit more entertainment would have been nice for others, but the calm atmosphere suited me. At the pool bars, there was a menu with alcoholic cocktails, which were tasty, but if you wanted something like a mojito, you had to pay extra. I was a little disappointed with the attitude of some of the bar staff at the pool – sometimes it felt like they didn’t even want to be there, and often they didn’t smile at all. On the other hand, I really liked the blonde lady who always greeted guests in the hotel restaurant with a lovely smile. The reception staff were also pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed the Greek night on Saturday by the pool – that was very nice. Overall, I would rate the whole week positively: the hotel is beautiful, the food tasty, the pools great. We really enjoyed our stay – thank you for a wonderful week.

The room cleaning was poor – the cleaning staff don’t refill soap or toilet paper. There’s a lot of noise in the hallway in the morning. The food is monotonous and not very tasty. Cocktails are watered down, and you have to pay extra for the good ones – even though it’s supposed to be all-inclusive.That’s why it only gets 3 stars – I would have rated the hotel the same way.

We had a fantastic stay here! Food was very good ( much better than we expected reading some of the reviews!).. plenty of choice...food wasn't always boiling hot but always lovely( they are catering for so many people, it's impossible to have food kept very hot buffet style without it drying out, and I'm a caterer, so I can sympathise! )... restaurant staff , room staff, bar staff and reception staff all very helpful and polite, really looked after us! Bar staff accommodated al our different needs and with a smile . I was expecting to queue for drinks as they were all inclusive, but the staff were very quick so no queues...infact sitting in the bar pool was a delight with a cocktail in hand!! Rooms very spacious and immaculately clean. One criticism is why not have reusable plastic glasses at the bar instead of disposable plastic glasses at the bar ( I know it's more convenient with no washing up, but sooo many plastic glasses being used on an Island that has a turtle breeding beaches is not so good!! Oh, and why plastic straws and not paper?? , again very bad on this turtle island. Highly recommend this hotel!!! Thankyou all so much for making our first all inclusive holiday so great!!!
