Celia Apartments

A totally fantastic place, stunning views from the balconies and the great and clean pool area. Quiet and peaceful without crowds, the perfect hideaway on budget ! Manager Yannis is very friendly and helpful. He sent us information via Whatsapp in advance and explained even more at arrival. The female restaurant clerk is also lovely and the food is great for a good price. We didn´t try the breakfast as it is very early. The place is remote and we didn´t have a car but were well prepared and did some grocery shopping in Zante town before arrival with taxi (25 euro). One day we took the long, hot walk up the hills from Porto Kaminia beach (better way) enjoying the scenery. We ate at Windmill restaurant and visited Supermarket Andreas, whith has a good selection of food, drinks and souvenirs. We managed to catch a taxi outside back to Celia. All I really wish is a proper path by the sea to Porto Kaminia beach. Now it´s a real challence to get there balancing on the rocks partly in water. Don´t forget swimming shoes, impossible otherways ! Porto Zorro beach to the right is not worth visiting: crowded, loud music in the bar, pebble stones.Porto Kaminia beach to the left is greatwith free sun beds for restaurant customers. Just below the restaurant you can find a path in the sea with sand bottom all the way. Warm and clan water, nice food and drinks.The small "beach"closest to Celia consists of big stones on land and in water and seems difficult to swim at, we didn´t even try.

A perfect hide away on budget

This place looks nice on websites but it’s a death trap . The owner threw us out of ouo original room , then downsized us it was terrible. With the heat wave the gardens should have been maintained. Old furniture old everything, always hurting your legs on bed has there where metal plates & screws  ?no smoke alarms ? Just a host which is never there only to be rude to you  . We left  

Terrible host

Before we arrived the owner sent us whats up message with general information. 
We arrived late around 22.00, I was informed that we cannot eat there  dinner, as it was too late.
The day after, very poor breakfast, with out any effort, bread,  mortadella, hard-boiled eggs( cooked day before), yellow cheese,  jam, butter, juice , coffee , tea.
Nothing else, everyday the same.
The girl who served the breakfast  during our stay  never  smile, never left the bar to clean the trays.
I was very surprised that every guest cleaning after them selfs from breakfast. 
Breakfast from 8- 9.30 but 9.15 almost completely empty, she's cleaning food very quickly and seems upset and stressed as I saw her after breakfast,  cleaning rooms.
We went to speak with the Yannis I guess he is the owner. 
He is hiding in his office behind the glass,  I couldn't really see his face. 
Any of my questions, he mentioned that he sent me all info on  whats.
I asked him if he can order for us car and he said that all phone numbers been sent on whats up.
Wasn't helpful at all.
Yannis never left his office,   working a few hours a day, he never came  to his guest  say hello, while we had it breakfast. He is just in his office  and thats it.
Firs day I reported him that the Bathroom is blocked and water is coming out on our floor. 
Hi said , he will report to the cleaner ( same girl who served breakfast).
Never no-one came  to fix it. Completely ignored. 
After the poor breakfast nothing is open here, no bar, no shop, no food, no water,  no coffee, just nothing!
The restaurant is open from 18 - 20 , only 2 hours a day.
You are in the middle of nowhere and need car every day. 
The room was old and ugly, uncomfortable small beds, no cuttle in the room.
Bathroom old, always blocked.
All needs to be refurbish .
Its nice view from balcony  but this is the only good thing about this place.
Lots of mosquito in the room.
You cannot hear the sea waves relaxing noise, because on every balcony is air-conditioning working very loud. 
We just survived here 4 days as we had it Quad to travel all island.
After 4 days when renting Quad was ended, we still want to enjoy at least the last 3 days ( paid for 7 days).
We changed  the hotel for very good hotel near us Porto Zorro Beach Hotel, almost same price but all-inclusive,  everything was perfect and we were welcomed there. 
I'm very surprised that this property has a very good reviews and high score. 
I'm travelling  lots and this was my worst experience ever.
We all work hard to enjoy holiday time to time .
Don't waist time and money for this place .
Avoid !

DO NOT book a stay at Celia without hiring a car. We found out too late that the place is isolated and to get anywhere on foot is virtually impossible, especially for the elderly. The setting, however, is beautiful, the pool is large and well cared for and the small beach is a minutes walk away. The beach comprises of stones and shingle and there is nowhere to sit. Also it is difficult to access the sea because of large slippery stones. Once in, however, the water is lovely and warm!
After a few hours my husband and I realised we were trapped. The walk up to the main road was not far but there were no footpaths on it and it was very dangerous for pedestrians. The nearest shop and taverna are about 1.5K away. To walk to the next beach would have been difficult for me and impossible for my husband. So to get any shopping we had to hire an expensive taxi and found the fare different every journey we took!
Celia is old but the rooms are comfortable and clean and the bedding and towels changed every 3 days. The 'kitchen ' left a lot to be desired. 2 electric rings,  a fridge with a small ice box, a few items of crockery and cutlery, 2 pans and a sink with no plug or bowl. There was no kettle, toaster,oven or microwave and nowhere to prepare food. The shower was hand held and there was neither a bath plug nor a working one in the basin.Breakfast was included in the cost but was exactly the same each day. Tinned peaches, yogurt, bread, butter,jams, hard boiled eggs and cheap ham and cheese. And a couple of cereals. From 9.30am until 6.00pm there was no drink or food available. A drinks machine would be handy as you had to climb back up to your room from the pool area to get a coffee or cold drink.The food served in the restaurant was good but there were no real Greek dishes, such as stifado, kleftiko or moussaka. The restaurant closed at 8.30pm and there was nowhere you could just sit with a drink afterwards. We had to return to our room but there wasn't even a TV. And the restaurant was closed Sundays so we either had to get a taxi or make something in our room.
We should like to return to Zakynthos one day as we saw hardly anything of the island.
