Overall the resort is a very lovely place and comfortable to stay. We love it!
Pros:

The pool area is really nice!
The stone beach is wonderful!
The breakfast was good—not too much, not too little, and of good quality.
Staffs are friendly and helpful!
Billiard table is nice for us for some family activities.

Cons:

In our room ; garden view was a bit too loud from all air conditioning machines. And our room was abit humid as it is on the ground floor so the wind could not flow so well.

Will definitely be back to stay again.
Pros:

The property is incredibly located. Up on a hill with stunning views over the coast, access to nearby beach and steps down to sea. 2 mins from Fiskardo. It was Perfect.

Cons:

The rooms are basic but perfectly adequate and very comfy for the price. Felt like the hotel was great value for money when you compare to other hotels during peak season in Greece.

In short potentially lovely hotel but missed opportunity, it is missing the finer details that make the resort feel 5*,
Pros:

Great location, very pretty and potentially lovely hotel!

Cons:

The staff need training they are not particularly friendly they need to learn how to smile. Everyone is on holiday and they make everything seem an effort! We have stayed in family run hotels in Greece before Like Eagles Palace in Halkidiki and it’s fabulous, this hotel doesn’t feel anything like that!

Apart from service the rooms are small with bulky furniture bit odd and feels unnecessarily overcrowded!

A truly special place
Pros:

This hotel makes you feel it’s just you staying there. The nature of the rooms being scattered across the estate rather than all in one big hotel complex is truly special. And the view from your room is incredible. Such beautiful landscape and nature alongside a beautiful sea and sky. Added to the great facilities including two lovely pools and a fantastic restaurant, this place is very special.

Cons:

Minor gripes in the grand scheme of things but wifi could be better, and could someone cut back the shrubs that line the walking route to Fiskardo please! It’s a nice little walk and handy when shuttle bus is so popular but very overgrown.

The Perfect Place to Unwind
Pros:

I really enjoyed the peaceful, quiet, and welcoming atmosphere of the hotel. The staff were warm and friendly, making me feel comfortable throughout my stay. I also loved how the hotel was surrounded by nature, creating a relaxing environment that was perfect for unwinding and escaping the stress of everyday life. It was an ideal place to rest, recharge, and enjoy the natural beauty around me. And above all, the homemade kaygana prepared by the host lady was absolutely unforgettable—it tasted amazing!

Stay at Emelisse Hotel 6 July 3 nights
Pros:

The views are lovely. The pool areas are excellent. Its a very attractive hotel. Staff are very helpful. Views at breakfast are stunning. Home made cakes at breakfast are very good. The hotel layout is nice. Rooms are attractive. My partial seaview room had very good seaviews.

Cons:

Its a little pricey and too far out of centre to walk there in the heat. The courtesy bus to Fiskardo may not be running at the time one may like
