White Olive Elite Hotel

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.

We had a very pleasant stay at White Olive Elite Laganas. The rooms were cleaned every day and the hotel is very well located – close to the beach and also not far from the airport. All the staff were friendly and always happy to serve us with a smile. We really appreciated the variety of vegan options, especially during fasting days, and the food overall was diverse and good. I recommend this hotel

A week of vacation spent at the White Olive Elite Laganas hotel was wonderful. Excellent food, well-kept territory with plants, clean room that is cleaned often. Two swimming pools for relaxation and 300 meters to the sea beach with turtles. Very good location of the hotel on the edge of Laganas - so the nightlife is not heard, the widest beach and turtles nearby. I definitely recommend the hotel for a family vacation.

This was one of the nicest hotels I have ever been to. The staff was always friendly and took care of everything directly. The food was varied, well prepared and very tasty. Beautiful outdoor area! Just a few minutes walk from the beach. The rooms were always clean and had plenty of space. Everything was modern and up to date. Would recommend to anyone and come back again and again.

We stayed here in June and had a great vacation! I'm convinced this is one of the best hotels on the island - new, clean and with enough sun beds for all guests. Rooms were cleaned daily and service was excellent. Some guests from an island nation were loud at night, but I still slept well. Highly recommend!

Visited this hotel as a group of 14 women and it was absolutely faultless. I was a little wary about having a triple room but there was plenty of space with a proper third bed not a camp style bed. Room was immaculate and cleaned daily. Pool area was also clean with an abundance of sunbeds. Food was fantastic with a varied choice of food and good vegetarian choices for those that required it. The cocktails were also very good and bar service was quick. The staff could not do enough for you. Always smiling and having a laugh. Location is also good. Would 100% recommend this hotel.

Stayed here end of May/beginning of June and can’t really fault it. The reviews had me concerned before going/after booking, but can honestly say our experience was fantastic. A huge range of all inclusive drinks (including cocktails), rooms cleaned often - our room itself was spacious, with no complaints there. The all inclusive buffet was a little smaller than I have experienced in the past but it was fine - I personally don’t think the food was cold, we did always go down just for the beginning of dinner so that might have helped? But they have a large variety and daily fries and pasta etc if you’re a picky eater. I’m fairly adventurous so tried a lot of dishes I hadn’t before and thoroughly enjoyed. Bar staff were lovely. It was a bit quiet at night except for the two nights there was entertainment, and the all inclusive does finish at 11 which seemed early to me. But other than that, it was reasonable. Perhaps not a 5 star by a lot of standards, but for Laganas I thought it was good!

Just returned from a week in White Olive Elite Laganas. Amazing Hotel, so modern, rooms lovely, spotlessly clean everywhere. Only a short walk to more entertainment bars and restaurants. People need to mention who helped us have a great fun time, would be Panos, Alexandra, Tamir, and Milena from the pool bar, great fun people. Constructive criticism: Maybe more evening entertainment, Food sometimes only lukewarm. Other than that, we will be returning next year, definitely a 5-star.
