The recently renovated studios have air conditioning, private bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens and a balcony or terrace with pool views, and family rooms are available. A seasonal outdoor pool, a garden, a terrace and free WiFi complete the picture. Laganas lies on the bay of Zakynthos known for its loggerhead turtles. A rating of 9.8 from 27 reviews is outstanding.

The resort describes itself as family-friendly, which I take as a good sign for younger children.

Denise Beach Hotel is set up well for families, with direct access to Laganas beach on Zakynthos. There are two swimming pools, each with its own children's pool, so younger kids can splash safely while older ones swim. A games room and a playground fill the hours between beach and pool. The air-conditioned rooms have balconies facing the Ionian Sea, and some include a private jacuzzi for parents once the children are asleep.
