An unforgettable stay – amazing staff, stunning views and perfect pool for kids
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, we felt so looked after at the Ionian Emerald Resort. The staff are honestly what makes this place so special – the lovely ladies at the pool bar always greeted us with the biggest smiles and made us feel at home, and our cleaner was incredible, keeping our room spotless every single day. Everyone went out of their way to help us, nothing was ever too much trouble.

The views from our room were absolutely breathtaking – we’d wake up every morning and couldn’t quite believe how beautiful it was. The pool was just perfect for kids, safe and relaxing, and the breakfast buffet each morning was such a treat with plenty of choice.

Cons:

Yes, there are a couple of little maintenance touches that could be freshened up, but honestly that didn’t take away from how wonderful our stay was.

Magique séjour de 3 nuits
Pros:

L’emplacement en bord de mer
La piscine et l’espace autour est extra ordinaire
Magnifique vue sur la mer.
Très belle chambre très spacieuse y compris le balcon.
Ensemble très agréable.
À 45 minutes de la capitale mais à côté des grottes et de la plage antisamos (15 minutes en voiture)
Allez manger chez Taverna Karavomylos le soir.
Sami est a 15/20 minutes à pied en passant par le bord de mer.
Prêt de parasol possible pour aller sur une plage extérieure.
Personnel très gentil

Cons:

Pas très animé le soir au bar.

I’d love to tell you all it was awful so it stays a secret, we loved it so much! Will definitely stay again!
Pros:

Very nice hotel, great pool, everything you needed for a relaxing family holiday. The spa was a great addition to be taken advantage of, food great, lots to explore within walking distance. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and really made the stay all that much more enjoyable.

Cons:

The only issues I encountered were with our room.
The jets in the private pool didn’t work, the jets in the bath didn’t work, the table on the patio had no top. When we raised this they did make calls but it wasn’t fixed before we left, and no compensation was offered. Everything else about our stay was so great I didn’t feel I wanted to pursue it.

Who gave them 5 stars?!
Pros:

Close to tennis court, football pitch and basketball court.Friendly staff. Many cute hungry cats.

Cons:

Bad beach only rocks and not pleasant water, outdated sun-beds with yellow sport and worn out towels. Poor pool more 3 star level. Bad choice of breakfast, omelette and pancakes sucked, not 5 stars quality. The toilets didn’t have any locks included the ones in the reception. Not really comfortable sofa bed. Shower head was very weak. No charm whatsoever. Should be restricted smoking in the breakfast area.
