Faired well for a short stay
Pros:

The staff is very helpful and welcoming, even with my very late evening check in. I appreciated their warm greetings. The location was not ideal for my short stay, but it was clean - a few things needed repair (door frame and bathroom shower doors were extremely hard to open and shut), but it was mostly clean (the shower floor was questionable) and quiet. Breakfast was nice and I was thankful for easy & close parking. The address on Hotels.com is wrong, I got lost getting there. Take the address from their website.

Pros:

Frühstück wenig Auswahl an Wurst, Käse und Kuchen, immer das gleiche. Brot nicht frisch und unförmig geschnitten. Auf verlangen kein Kakao. Kaffee könnte besser sein.
Sehr ruhige Lage und alles sehr sauber.

Excellent position and views and great value for money.
Pros:

This was our third year at Palatino so we knew what to expect which is excellent value for money with a clean and comfortable room and great staff.

Cons:

The pool went a bit murky during the last few days of our stay which made us a little reluctant to go in.

Sad to see this lovely hotel falling in to a state of disrepair !!
Pros:

We really like the location of the palatino , it sits on a small hill and we always go for sea view rooms , which are exactly that a brilliant view, the staff at the hotel work really hard and are lovely people , pool is a lovely size and fairly well maintained .

Cons:

This is our third year staying at palatino and unfortunately our last (for now at least ) it has run in to a state of disrepair! so many things were breaking whilst we were there , for instance the fridge at the pool bar broke down at the end of last season and was still sat there broken , as a result you were not always guaranteed cold drinks , the bottled water was warm 😒the sun bed cushions that were new last year were absolutely disgusting , I would only sit on them with a towel on them , breakfast is very very poor , very limited choice and the only fruit was watermelon it really has gone downhill , chairs that you sit on at the bar and dining room are falling apart and again the chairs at the pool bar are filthy , in the 5 days that we stayed there we didn’t see the bar or pool area washed down at all , lots of dirty stains all over the place , I could go on forever and it really is a shame as it could be a brilliant hotel , the only saving grace are the staff , very warm friendly people who work so hard to keep this place going .

Gode senger, strenge ang basseng.
Pros:

Var en uke der pga ferie/bryllup, veldig fornøyd med personalet og senga var veldig myk!
Eneste minus, at de var veldig streng angående basseng. Veldig kort åpningstid (stengte kl 19) selvom det fortsatt var 30 grader varmt.

Pros:

The staff were very helpful and friendly, the breakfast was very good with a big variety. The beds were super comfy and the rooms very clean, the pool was very clean.

Cons:

We had some very noisy people who kept us awake at night. But the hotel along with the rep removed them from the hotel so the situation was dealt with appropriately.

Overall we had a great time, clean towels and maids came in each day
Pros:

The friendly staff and owner of the hotel were amazing

Cons:

The breakfast could have been better, but filled a hole. The shower and bathroom need some attention .
Sun beds need changing to ones you can sit up or down and cushions need renewing.

Pros:

Staff were really nice. Beds comfy, great view, great location. Actual pool is lovely and clean

Cons:

Bathroom was slightly grubby in that shower rusty and a bit stained, breakfast had opportunity to be great but was cold both morning even when we got there at 8am (starts at 8) sun beds just awful and the mats were a stained. This could be a great pool experience but let down by that

Pros:

Primeiramente, o hotel deveria explicar para todo hóspede, durante a reserva, como fazer para chegar lá. Eu cheguei a Lefkada de ferry no Porto de Sami e fui de carro para o hotel, pela única estrada terrível que existe atualmente, e que me desanimou ter escolhido conhecer a ilha de Lefkada. Qdo cheguei no hotel, perguntei na recepção sobre a estrada que dá acesso ao hotel e então que me foi explicado que a maneira mais fácil de ir para o hotel é pegando o ferry em Argostoli para Lixouri. Esta informação é primordial!! Tudo fica fácil e agradável! O hotel fica a 2” de carro do Porto de Lixouri e 10” a pé e tem barca a cada 30’ durante todo o dia e a cada hora a partir das 19:00h. O café da manhã é farto mas preparado sem zelo algum: talheres manchados, dando a impressão de mal lavados; garfos tortos, xícaras com sujeiras, moscas e gatos no local, alguns ovos mal cozidos com gema e clara ainda líquidas….aparência feia. O local de tomar banho, o box, é mínimo e muito desconfortável até para uma pessoa magra. Durante o banho, esbarra-se muitas vezes no registro da água mudando a temperatura da água o que é extremamente desagradável. Para evitar esbarrar no registro da água, é necessário encostar na parede do box que é suja e mofada. O Wi-Fi é muito instável e desconecta frequentemente. O único local que o Wi-Fi pega bem é no lobby e no local do café da manhã. O hotel tem piscina mas não disponibiliza toalhas para piscina. O hóspede precisa ter sua própria toalha de piscina.

Wonderful island full of great people and amazing beaches and places to discover
Pros:

Great staff, pool and location - 5-10 min walk and your at the seafront

Cons:

Breakfast could be better - whilst plenty of coffee, bread, cheese and eggs etc would have loved more fresh fruit.
