The guy at the reception is friendly and accommodating but the woman is, she’s more interested in selling boat trips and cruise and hiring a car than helping the customer. The so-called “A la carte “ menu is almost the same every night with few choices and food wasn’t very good. One dinner there was a maggot in the food (dead) that they replaced the food with a different main.If you order a more interesting main like seafood/squid they say that they’re all gone. My advice is don’t go for half board- it’s not worth it. The pool is lovely and big and reception area is nice and clean. The room is a good size but bathroom needs updating- no room to put your toiletry bag. I have an issue with toilet brush holder sitting below the loo roll holder that every time you take tissues off you touch the toilet brush which is very unhygienic. There are days we can smell the sewage especially in the bathroom. The drain of the bath is partly blocked even having a having shower is like flooding in the bath. The bath/ hand towels that they provide are not a 4 star at all( see my photos below). It looks like they cut the towel into two- threads are loose and hanging and smells bad. I don’t remember having towels in this condition in my own home let alone the hotel especially in a 4* hotel. The view is beautiful but the steps going up- I counted 150 steps from the bottom to the lift. I feel for the people who have mobility problem.

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.

Beautiful location and view. V clean and comfortable. Overall fab, lots of steps though, and parking a slight issue. You need a car to fully explore everything the island has to offer - but don’t let this put you off!

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.

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.

Lovely hotel offering splendid views. Only stayed here for one night due to another hotel in Sami area letting us down on arrival ( Dimitris Studios) despite having booking confirmation and prepaid status. The Kefalonia Bay Palace saved the day for us. Hard to evaluate a hotel with only a few hours stay but the few hours were perfect. Staff excellent also but the hotel does require strong legs as the approach and interior is all based on steep climbs.

The property was very clean and the staff were excellent. However, we were VERY disappointed that Expedia had given us no indication of the amount of steps in the property -there were some lifts but there was no way of getting to our room without climbing a substantial amount of steps...this would definitely have been a problem for older or less able persons. A further comment is that the gym was not usable as there was a problem with the electricity and connectivity. The spa was not open either. This was very disappointing to us. Finally, this was advertised as an adult only property on your site but this was not the case at all. We would be grateful for your response to these comments. Thank you
