Sami Beach Hotel ★★★

"We had a great week at Sami Beach and will definitely return in a couple of years as still lots of Kefalonia to see, Sami makes a great base for this. As other reviews have said, staff are excellent, very clean everywhere, breakfast good, rooms a decent size, large car park, good pool and beach with loungers, views to die for all round. Sami is a lovely town and we had some great meals out then a lovely walk back along the sea front. One negative for us was that the balconies are very small with no privacy and we were unlucky to have smokers and vapers next door which stopped us from enjoying sitting out a lot of the time. Not sure what can be done other than having one floor smoke free perhaps? All in all a lovely place for a holiday and see you in a couple of years we hope. Barry and Debbie"

Ionian Emerald Resort ★★★★★

"Wir besuchten das Ionian Emerald Hotel im September und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Hotel liegt ganz in der Nähe des Meeres und bietet eine wunderschöne Aussicht. Der Poolbereich ist sehr gepflegt, und es waren immer Sonnenliegen verfügbar. An der Poolbar gab es den ganzen Tag bis in den Abend hinein Essen und Getränke, und das Personal war großartig. Auch am Kieselstrand gab es Sonnenliegen und Sonnenschirme für Hotelgäste. Das Schlafzimmer war sehr komfortabel, der einzige Nachteil waren die etwas altmodischen Badezimmer, die bereits in anderen Bewertungen erwähnt wurden. Sie bedürfen zwar dringend einer Renovierung, boten aber alles, was man braucht. Das gesamte Hotelpersonal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Als wir ein paar Kleinigkeiten meldeten, die unsere Aufmerksamkeit erforderten, wurde sich umgehend darum gekümmert. Wir hatten einen Mietwagen über das Hotel gebucht, und der gesamte Ablauf verlief äußerst reibungslos und unkompliziert. Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Wir haben zweimal im Restaurant zu Abend gegessen. Draußen auf der Terrasse war es schön, aber im Restaurant und der Bar fehlte es wirklich an Atmosphäre. Das Essen war gut und die Auswahl groß. Der Weg nach Sami zu anderen Restaurants kann sich etwas lang anfühlen. Wir haben je nachdem, wie weit man hineingeht, etwa 25–30 Minuten gebraucht. Insgesamt ein wirklich gutes Hotel."

Stalaktites Studios ★★★

"The room is very wide with a beautiful terrace and a wide refrigerator with freezer compartment. Breakfast is available from 10 menus, including express and cappuccino, and you will be served at the pool view table. Parking in front of the room and is equipped with washing machines (although not in perfect condition). Unfortunately, the rooms are not at the same level as the rest. "

Meliti Waterfront Suites ★★★★

"Fantastic apartment at Meliti suites. The penthouse (Ammos) apartment is so worth the extra cost. The wide balcony runs along the front and round the side so every room has a sea view. One bedroom with a side view out to Sami has an en-suite. The middle bedroom is double aspect with doors facing to the front and side. The 3rd bedroom is smaller and looks out to sea. Lovely indoor sitting/dining/kitchen area and lots of seating options on the balcony, from where you hear the sea breaking on the pebble beach. Great location between Sami (a few mins drive or 20 min walk, The Cellar is a great restaurant) and the even nicer Agia Effimia (10 mins drive. Walk away from the harbour up to Pergola or along to Sea Rock for dinner) and less than 10 mins walk from Melissani lake. There was a really long queue when we went to the lake (a cruise ship was visiting the island) so we just went back another day. And there’s a lovely bakery/cafe just a couple of mins walk away. The staff were very helpful before we arrived and very pleasant when we were there. Photos are of the view from the balcony. "
