A second home in zakynthos
Nikos Poolbar Studios may be simple and basic when it comes to accommodation, but that’s all you really need — you only spend time in your room to sleep and get ready. Everything else about this place is what makes it so special.
The pool area is excellent, with a good-sized main pool and a separate kids’ pool, perfect for families. The staff are incredibly welcoming and always do whatever they can to help, which gives the whole place such a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Mary cooks delicious food throughout the day, and the weekend BBQs and Greek nights are a real highlight — amazing food, great entertainment, and a fantastic atmosphere. The new Tuesday quiz night is also great fun and adds to the sense of community here.
The location is spot on: just a 10-minute walk into the main town, where every restaurant we’ve tried has been excellent, and only a 10-minute walk to the beach. If you want a sunbed, you can head further down, but we’ve always been happy laying a towel straight on the sand.
Yes, the rooms could do with a little updating, but honestly, that doesn’t take away from the experience. Even if they never change a thing, I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Nikos Poolbar Studios feels like a second home — we’ve made amazing friends here and look forward to returning every year to see everyone again.

Cheap but not cheerful
We were expecting to love our stay at Nikos Studios (having ready the many positive reviews) but our stay was disappointing. We have stayed at many Greek studio complexes described as ‘traditional’ and ‘basic’ but this was by far the most basic.
Positives:
The pool area was lovely – well maintained, clean with lots of sun loungers.
The studios and public areas were generally clean and tidy.
The studios were in nice rural setting, about 15 minutes’ walk to the town, with a good selection of restaurants, bars & shops, and the beach.
Negatives:
Our studio room (No 12) was small and stuffy, with no window (apart from a tiny window in the bathroom) and the balcony was in a stairwell.
Air conditioning was essential but cost €10 per night – in every other place we’ve stayed, AC was included in the room rate. There was also a charge to use the room safe.
There was no TV in the room – again, this is something we have always had previously, and we expected.
The towels & bedding provided were worn & shabby.
The bar/restaurant area was large but so smoky that we found it really unpleasant to use. With a bit of zoning to provide a non-smoking area, this would suit all customers.
The restaurant provided basic food, not cheap, but it would have been nice to see the Greek owners offering some Greek dishes on the menu (there were mentions in other reviews of a Greek Night, but not when we were there).
There were 2 TVs constantly on in the bar, but always tuned to Greek soaps. In the other bars & restaurants we visited, TVs were showing music or sport – programs that can be appreciated by the customers, rather than the staff.
The internet was very intermittent, especially in our room.
We found the staff to be polite, but surly (for instance, on the last day, with a night flight, we asked to leave our luggage in the large back room - they refused so we had to leave all our belongings in the bar).This is very unusual in Greece and one of the big reasons we love to visit Greece is the friendliness and helpfulness o0f our hosts, which was not evident this time.
In summary, we liked Alykes and will probably visit again, but we will stay somewhere else. We found lots of studio apartments with the facilities we expected,and friendly, helpful staff for very similar price. Nikos Studios could be lovely, if they would just invest a little time and money to bring them up to date.

Rustic and relaxing
This was a second stay for us at Nikos and you can see why many people come back time and time again, there is something about it and it is just so relaxing. Set slightly out of the way just past the salt flats it has great views of the mountains and countryside. It is a bit rough round the edges, shower is hard to use and hot water isn’t always there, our toilet flush was tricky and every evening the drains would smell till the morning but you get over it! If you’re used to basic Greek accommodation and want a relaxing base you will have a great time. The family that run the hotel are lovely, I can recommend the Greek night if it’s on, sadly it wasn’t this year in the week we went. Prices had gone up a bit this year at the bar but this seemed to be the same throughout the resort and the food and snacks are really good portion sizes. There’s a great bar the dolphin close to the hotel and tavernas and the main resort are a 10 min walk away. I’m sure we will return some time in the future.

Good but basic
As stated before the apartments are basic and small but are clean.
Not much in the way of cooking utensils but we just about managed to make a couple of meals. Only 2 plug sockets per room too.
Pool is clean and lovely, never overly busy and always sunloungers available.
Food is reasonable and is large portions, the bar however we found to be expensive and didn’t have anyone atmosphere, we went once but they started clearing up early around us and it felt a bit awkward! Hardly anyone went to bar in the evenings ( prob as expensive!!!) so we much preferred to visit bars and restaurants locally instead.
Good location, 10 mins from local town with good selection of bars and restaurants and a lovely beach.
Be aware air con is 70 euros per week extra cost and there’s no hairdryers.
