Kymata Bohemian Villas

Absolutely loved my stay here with my family. Our villa was so nice & I loved the privacy we (you get ur own pool aswell as the big one). Such a beautiful area with sea all around. Staff were lovely, especially the bar tender. Do remember mosquito spray though due to the climate!

I'm a bit conflicted about the Kymata resort. On the surface, it's a lovely resort, with attentive staff. It's a small, personal antidote to faceless, bigger resorts. First, the good stuff: The sense of privacy. There are 12 villas but you never feel overlooked. We never really heard a neighbour and rarely saw people, even though they seemed fully booked. - The view from the balcony was great, looking over the sea. - The private pool was bigger than expected and the kids loved it. - The few ladies who seemed to run the place were friendly and attentive. We had a bottle of rose wine and some other things when we arrived. The bad stuff: - We stayed in one of the bigger buildings with a balcony - which was a free upgrade, but it wasn't as high end as the website suggests - door handles were hanging off, the ceiling fan was loose, the toilet seat was loose and would pinch your leg if you weren't careful, the sink was loose, the doors didn't fit flush and some couldn't be closed at all. Some stonework was loose around the pool. Some wooden slats were loose and rusty nails were sticking out. The frustrating thing is that these are all simple fixes that an onsite handyman could fix in a morning. I know other people mentioned it on their reviews, so it shows that the resort managers don't read or care about guest's opinions. - Our kids got horribly bitten on the first few nights. We were given some plug in deterrents and spray and it seemed to help, but we're never experienced such bad bites. The sheets seemed clean and no bed bugs. Honestly, it's between average and very good, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt as I think you can't go to more remote paces and expect all the fixtures and fittings at the reasonable price we paid. The area itself is quiet, which is good and bad. We liked it, but were glad to stay in Argostoli, which was more bustling - and our doors closed.
