Pros:

man war schnell vom Hotel am Strand, der voll ok war - sauberes Wasser, Sandstrand, ideal für Kinder. Wenig los und das in der Hauptsaison. Ist schnell in Skala mit vielen Bars und Restaurants. Zimmer angelegt wie ein Village, sehr ruhig.

Cons:

der Frühstücksbereich inkl. Personal war nicht ganz nach unserem Geschmack, z.Bsp.: stehen die Tische direkt neben der Rezeption, die Rezeptionistin ist zugleich auch zuständig für das Frühstück. Pool nicht getestet.

Pros:

מטבחון בחדר.

Cons:

המקלחת קטנה מאוד, צפופה וסגורה בוילון- חוויה לא אסתטית ולא מתאימה.

פער מאכזב בין המחיר לתמורה
Pros:

המיקום של המלון מצויין, קרוב לחופים מרהיבים, ולטברנות. ניתן ללכת ברגל או ליסוע קרוב ואף רחוק. בבית המלון יש בריכה מתוחזקת ובר הפתוח עד חצות, בו ניתן לקנות מגוון דברי מאכל ושתיה, כולל אלכוהול. מדובר במספר מבנים יפים ומתוחזקים, ומכל חדר נישקף נוף מרהיב לים. יש חניה בשפע. בחדרים יש מקרר ופינת מטבחון קטנה.

Cons:

המלון בדירוג 3 כוכבים, מנוהל על ידי כמה דורות של משפחה אחת. חלקם חביבים ומסבירי פנים, וחלקם ממש לא. ייתכן שהם לא נחמדים במיוחד לישראלים. החדרים מרווחים יחסית, אך חדר עם 3 מיטות לא באמת בנוי להכיל 3 אנשים, אלא אם מדובר בזוג עם ילד קטן. חדרי השרותים קטנים, ואת המקלחון סוגר
וילון, כמו בימים הרחוקים. לא נעים ולא אסטטי. הארון בחדר מכיל תא תלייה בלבד, ללא מדפים. כך שאין אפשרות ממשית לפרוק מזוודה. גרמי מדרגות רבים מובילים לחדרים ולשאר המתקנים, ללא מעלית. המקום מאוד לא מונגש למי שאיננו בכושר....
לא ניכרת נדיבות לב ו "שפע" של בעלי המקום. כך, למשל, ארוחת הבוקר המוגשת מאוד מצומצמת, לא תמצא אף פעם יותר מ 4 עגבניות חתוכות, ו 2 מלפפונים פרוסים, לטובת כולם. המזגן בחדר האוכל לא דולק רוב הזמן, ותוך כדי אכילה יש התמודדות אין סופית עם מכת הצרעות , המוכרת באי. (הם יודעים איך להתמודד עם התופעה באמצעות הדלקת אבוקת קפה שחור, אך נמנעים מהמאמץ...).
לסיכום, מיקום נפלא, מלון 3 כוכבים, שעולה הרבה ביחס לתמורה שמקבלים. על זה נוספה תחושת אי נעימות על חמיצות וסבר פנים אנטיפטי לו זכינו, על אף היותנו חביבים, מחוייכים, מנומסים ולא טרחנים כלל!

Pros:

The location was great, very close to a beautiful beach. The accommodation itself was pleasant and clean, which made the stay comfortable. However, the shower only had a curtain that tended to stick to the body, which was a bit inconvenient. Breakfast was quite poor with very limited options and below expectations. Unfortunately, the coffee from the machine was of low quality and not enjoyable.

Pros:

L’albergo è grande, nuovo e le stanze sono ampie, comode e ben arredate. Il terrazzo è ben vivibile. I letti molto comodi

Cons:

Purtroppo il lavandino del bagno e la doccia non sono mai stati lavati per sei giorni e sul pavimento erano presenti spesso capelli e sabbia del giorno prima. La stessa situazione nella stanza dei nostri amici. Anche sotto i letti era sempre sporco. Inoltre la colazione è di buona qualità ma poco abbondante e sempre uguale.

Delusione
Pros:

Camera grande.
Piscina fredda.

Cons:

Posizione della stanza piano interrato buia e senza alcuna vista
Climatizzatore rumorosissimo e posizionato sopra la testa del letto, puntato al cervello, impossibile dormire. cuscini troppo alti.
A primissima mattina rumori del personale che faceva giardinaggio ecc..
Colazione monotona e poca varietà, con api incluse.
Personale poco cordiale nemmeno rispondevano al buongiorno la mattina a colazione.
Troppo distante dal mare a piedi

Amazing
Pros:

Beautiful family run property. The place is stunning and spotlessly clean. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. I’ve added a picture from my balcony to show the beautiful views.
Located close to the beach with beautiful restaurants lining the coast line. Short walk to the more lively part of town. Everything you could need for holiday in the sun.

Cons:

The beds were a little hard but that’s down to personal choice.

A wonderful place to relax and experience Kephalonia Hospitality.
Pros:

The location was great, the room and all the hotel facilities were clean and new. The staff were very friendly and helpful with information about the area. We really enjoyed the pool and the pool bar in the afternoons as well, that was a bonus I did not know about beforehand! This is a well kept family run hotel and we were very pleased with the whole experience. Its also very close to beach, restaurant, shops, ets and just minutes away from the port of Poros. I look forward to staying here again.

Cons:

Nothing. I should have stayed an extra few days!

Pros:

Amazing location - just a 5 min stroll to the beach - the quiet end! Best for us to be off the beach with no noise pollution etc We went diving with Blue Manta - 5 mins walk from the hotel and a great outfit to do a try dive, or if experienced something more adventurous. Nice vibe at Ammos beach bar very near by with snacks and food including local plus sushi and burgers.

Hotel itself - Very clean, spacious room for 3 x People. It felt new but has been here for 18!years but they constantly improve and remodel. Pool was fine and clean,. nice bar staff with a. low key family vibe. We lefft 1 passport in safe after check out by accident and they called asap to let us know so we could go back. Top service!

Cons:

Beds were a bit hard but we used the spare pillows to pad them out

Could have done with some fresh fruit - not tinned - at breakfast but for the price we paid this is totally acceptable. Rest of the breakfast was absolutely fine.
