My stay at the hotel was truly memorable. The breathtaking views from my room and the attentive service made for an unforgettable holiday. The pool area was lovely, though sometimes crowded due to guests from the neighboring hotel. Dining was delightful, especially the breakfast options which were plentiful and fresh. However, I feel that access to the pool facilities could be better controlled to ensure guests get the full experience that comes with their stay here.

This resort offers a wonderful base to explore Kefalonia, with spacious accommodations that make you feel right at home. The relaxing pool area creates a perfect environment for lounging, while the quality of the breakfast is a highlight of any stay here.
