The staff went above and beyond when inclement weather occurred and we needed some travel advice. The property is beautiful quiet and our own room was private we arrived before the restaurant opened but enjoyed the large continental breakfast on the balcony each morning. Overall recommended stay in Kefalonia.

Stunning setting & incredible views. The hotel is very tired. Tiles coming off in pool, no pictures. Food is very basic. Staff were very kind and friendly but when I checked in, the receptionist got lost trying to show me our room. Felt sorry for staff who are desperate for you to like your tine there. The whole place needs significant amounts invested to upgrade. It could be incredible.

This was probably a great hotel before electricity. It has all the makings to be great BUT someone has to put the money back into it. Elevators out of service and walking up 90 steps with bags is no way to vacation. The views once you get to your room are out of this world. Spend the money and make it nice again.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Great staff and views but poorly maintained

Unfortunately the hotel was about to shut for ‘major’ renovations. They are sorely required! Had to move room three times in four nights due to unfixable room faults, including failed front door lock, failed internet (rooms either side OK) and toilet flush knackered. Great views, friendly and helpful staff, but tired fixtures and fittings and probably not such great value at present.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Wouldn’t stay again

Room clean but not deep clean, loads of dust on bed frame and pictures, ants in bathroom. Outside terrace and internal floors not clean for feet or white socks. Staff ok, breakfast very poor. Worryingly unsafe glass barrier around main pool, could be pushed over. Air conditioning basic. General maintenance low, jet shower had been glued so couldn’t change settings. Drains gargled and could smell around pool. Simple golf cart service to help guests up the hills, don’t stay here if not fit. Wasn’t the best hotel, not the worst either. Needs investment and an experienced manager. View great, not worth the money. Shame.

The hotel location was good, with a stunning view and lots of restaurants nearby and a charming little town. The swimming pools were great, clean and fun. Unfortunately the hotel itself is tired, lots of little bits of maintenance, painting, fixing required. The rooms were surface clean, but not detailed. The breakfast buffet was standard and fine, however the evening food was barely edible (we opted to eat elsewhere even though we had paid for it to be included). The day-to-day staff were very nice and kind, they looked over-worked but always extremely nice to us. Any requests we made, like about bringing a roll-away bed, fixing the wifi, and bringing baby-food, were done immediately. Overall we were a bit disappointed and would not stay here again.
