Liberatos Village

"Liberatos Village Hotel has the potential to be brilliant but it falls way short. I’ll start with the good bits. The hotel’s perched at the top of a steep hill, so yes, it’s a bit of a slog to get to, but you’re rewarded with cracking panoramic views from the pool and some of the rooms. There’s a nice breeze up there too, which is a godsend in the July/August heat. The pool area is a real highlight, big, deep (2.2m), clean, with large, comfy loungers, but could do with a clean they are a bit grubby. The bar’s well stocked, food’s decent (though slightly more expensive than down in the resort, as you’d expect), and the staff are generally friendly and polite especially the bar staff and receptionists. The outdoor areas are lovely too, loads of greenery, flowers, fruit trees and the odd palm tree. But that’s where the positives end…. The inside of the self-catering rooms is where the whole thing unravels. We booked through TUI and were led to believe it was 3T (3-star) accommodation, inside the rooms it’s more like 1-star at best. The cooking facilities looked like they’d been dragged out of a skip, rusty and ours was held together with tape, with loose wires hanging out, this one was eventually replaced. The hob was filthy, the kitchen tap sprayed water halfway into the living space, and the bathroom tap wouldn’t turn off. The air con started leaking by day two. In our other room were met with blood stains and snot on the pillow on arrival, not exactly the welcome I expect from a TUI package holiday. We had two rooms, both had problems. After raising a complaint and being told no other rooms available, we were offered a “more basic” room (worrying) from the hotel owner or the chance to switch hotels at an extra £1500 for 4 days from TUI. Repairs were eventually done to the tap and replacement pillow but only done after we raised them with TUI customer services who got onto the owner. Even then, things like mould on the ceiling and a grim, stained shower curtain remained. What really soured it was the attitude of the so-called manager with an “American” accent, rude to my missus and dismissive, even accused us of exaggerating. If they ripped out the rooms and gave them a proper refurb, this place could be class. But as it stands, great on the outside but a proper horror show on the inside. Wouldn’t return or recommend anyone to stay here. I’ve told TUI to either reduce the rating to a 2T or remove the self catering option as it’s totally misleading showcasing this as a 3T. Lassi however we never had a bad meal out! Great little resort with some fantastic beaches."

Casaly Hotel & Spa

"We had the best time ever at the Casaly Hotel. We cannot possibly do the excellence of this establishment justice in a single review. From the moment we checked in to the moment we left everything was superb. The reception staff (special mention for Martine, Katerina and Erica 🤗) are so helpful with advice on where to go. We had a car for the duration of our stay and they took so much time to explain where things were on the map and the best places to eat. The WhatsApp service is brilliant, I'd highly recommend you use this if you go. We were Bed & Breakfast. The service provided by Irene and Dimitri at breakfast is simply superb, they are so helpful, friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed chatting with them every morning. For our day trips we were given clean towels to take and loaned a beach umbrella. My wife had a massage at the spa and said it was amazing, the therapist was so good. The location of the hotel is very good. Right on the front at Argostolli so close to everything but far enough away to be peaceful. There's specific parking right next to the hotel for guests and the porters are really helpful in assisting you to ensure you part safely. When we come to Kefalonia again (and we definitely will be!!) we will stay at The Casaly for certain - it is just outstanding!!! Thanks to all the staff at the hotel for making out stay so memorable ♥️"

Mouikis Hotel Kefalonia

"The hotel has a great location, not far from the beach, and plenty of restaurants nearby. There's a small supermarket to the right of the hotel entrance where you can buy yogurt and other similar items. Behind the hotel is a commercial street where you can shop, but the shop owners are quite casual, and some close very early. The room has a small balcony, not too big or too small. The only drawback is the poorly designed bathroom; the shower is too small, and the toilet paper isn't even next to the toilet! You can arrange airport or ferry pick-up through the hotel on Ctrip, but this will incur an additional fee."

Mirabel CityCenter Hotel

"Hotellet er meget godt placeret, tæt på pladsen kan du gå rundt omkring. Men af samme grund har den ikke parkering, og det er heller ikke muligt at gøre det i nærheden, da gaderne er lukket eller fyldt med biler, hvilket gør det et særligt problem ved ankomst eller afgang med hele bagage. Personalet var opmærksom på det godt, også morgenmad, der er varieret, og ved at være buffet kan du spise alt, hvad du ønsker. Hvad de kunne forbedre er stedet for morgenmad, da det er smukt, men meget lille. Salen er smuk og bred, men værelserne har brug for en renovering."

Panorama Fanari Studios and Apartments

"We've just returned from our Kefalonia holiday. We stayed at Panorama Fanari and had a brilliant time. The place is located in a pleasant remote area away from any hustle and bustle. The room we had, had a balcony at each end so we could get the sunrise and sunset. Also if we opened both sets of sliding doors we could get a pleasant airflow through the room. The room itself, was spacious and had everything we needed. It also had a small kitchenette with helpful items left in the cupboards. The shower room was a bit small but adequate and had a decent walk in shower with a sliding door. The main balcony view was superb with the hotel gardens immediate, over the road and down the hill was land with olive trees. We could see the whole area across to the sea and nearby lighthouse in the distance. The best bit was the view across the bay where all the ferries were constantly crossing and the odd cruise ship passing through. The sunset view every evening was the best I've experienced anywhere. The carpark had plenty of spaces and many in the shade. I noticed an electrical charging point. The pool area was lovely with plenty of sunbeds and a pleasant shower area. There was also a bar and seating area nearby which was staffed during daylight hours. The breakfast buffet was continental with plenty of variety. The staff were all friendly, helpful and spoke English. If there was anything we needed, they obliged. Also they were able to assist with car hire with a car arriving in the car park shortly after we enquired. The grounds were well kept and pleasant to walk around. There was a patio area with a large garden table and chairs and two comfortable swing seats in the shade of a large pear tree. We could have sat here all day watching the bay and all the bees and butterflies on the surrounding plants. There were several friendly cats who came to see us when we were walking in the grounds. The location was a little remote but not overly so. There are a few cove beaches within walking distance and the campsite Taverna. Argostoli was a pleasant 3km walk one way but shorter if you walk to the top of the hill, past the Italian memorial and down the other side. With a car you can get to Argostoli or Lassi in a few minutes. We had a lovely stay from not quite knowing what to expect on arrival. "

Argostoli Marina Suites

"We usually stay at the Grand Hotel which is just a few doors down the waterfront, but decided to try the Argostoli Mare Suite instead. A great decision as it has the same wonderful outlook, but more spacious rooms, in our case a suite, and is perfectly situated to enjoy all of Argostoli town without a car. Breakfast is an 8 minute walk to a sister apartment block, but is massive. You won’t need lunch! We also popped into the Grand to say hello to Marika (the lovely receptionist) and enjoyed a few drinks in the evenings. We enjoyed our weekend stay for sure! 😉"
