We had a wonderful week stay at Emerald Villas in the Honeymoon suite, we booked the emerald transfer and our driver Dimitris was so friendly and chatted to me on the journey - I also thought he looked very smart in his dark green suit! My husband had arranged to collect a quad bike from the airport , I took the transfer along with our luggage and he met us at the villas - this worked out fine for us, however they do offer a service where they can deliver a quad to the villa if you prefer. We had such a warm welcome from Irene, one of the loveliest Reception managers I’ve met! she took us to our room and we were blown away with the views. We opted for the celebration package which was €280 I think, and included champagne, petals, iced biscuits and other honeymoon decor as well a huge bouquet of flowers and a delicious chocolate ganache gateaux - which we enjoyed for a few nights as our dessert! The package also included a couples massage which we enjoyed the following day after a morning of adventuring so I definitely recommend treating yourself to this package because it made our arrival feel more special. The room itself was super clean and the bed was very comfortable. We had everything we needed and popped down to the shop in the harbour to get a few essentials - we went adventuring into Zante the next day and went to a Lidl there to get more breakfast/ lunch items. The port is a short drive down the mountain and there are a few pretty gift/ clothing shops along with a petrol station and mini market and plenty of restaurants in the area. We ordered room service from one of the local restaurants on our last night in and even the delivery drivers were very friendly. Irene kept us updated via the bedroom phone and vise versa if we were heading out for the afternoon so she could liaise with housekeeping, which was great as we didn’t feel pressured to have our room cleaned at a set time. One day we did stay in while they cleaned but we happily kept out of their way out the cabana bed, the housekeeping staff were very friendly and polite and did a great job. We were lucky to have nice weather during our stay (1st week of May, highs of 22 degrees) and it only rained one day - which was fine as we had a cozy morning in and watched some films on the smart tv in the room. We would definitely recommend these villas as the staff were so wonderful and the suites are gorgeous! We didn’t want to leave and hope to be back next year. Thank you Irene & team for a fabulous honeymoon to remember, Victoria & Luke xx
