Location
Plaza Pallas places you right in the resort centre of Tsilivi, one of Zante’s best all-rounders. Golden sands, family-run tavernas and low-key nightlife are all moments away, so you can switch easily between beach days, wandering the harbour and evenings in cocktail bars or traditional restaurants.
Tsilivi’s main beach is long, sandy and Blue Flag awarded for cleanliness, with shallow waters and plenty of watersports. The resort itself balances modern amenities with Greek character, especially in the family-run tavernas lining the backstreets – perfect for long, lazy dinners after a day by the pool.

Restaurants and Bars
Olive Garden is the hotel’s main restaurant, combining buffet and à la carte service. Expect a relaxed, family-friendly vibe with a mix of international, British, Italian, Greek and local dishes at breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. Highchairs, a kids’ menu and a kids’ buffet help keep younger travellers happy.
The pool bar is the daytime hub, serving drinks and light bites, and stays open into the evening in high season. Later on, the Sambuca bar adds atmosphere for sociable nights in resort. A smart-casual dress code may apply at dinner. Reservations, opening hours and what’s included can vary by season and board basis (check locally).
Pool Areas and Beach
The central outdoor freshwater pool is framed by sunbeds, hammocks and parasols, with a children’s section so younger guests can splash safely. A separate children’s pool adds even more space for families, and inflatables and water toys are permitted – great news if you’re travelling with little ones.
When you fancy the sea, Tsilivi’s wide sandy beach is around 450m away. The gently shelving shoreline is ideal for paddling and families, while watersports and beach bars provide a bit of extra energy for more active days.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Plaza Pallas keeps things simple and relaxed rather than activity-heavy. Evenings in summer usually feature daily entertainment such as live DJs and music from roughly May to October, creating an easy-going, sociable atmosphere without feeling over the top.
Other on-site facilities include a 24-hour-style reception, currency exchange, luggage storage and equipment hire, including kettles and mobility scooters (local charges apply).
