From the moment we stepped into the hotel we were greeted by the most lovely staff who always checked in throughout our holiday and made an effort to say hello when they saw us. The facilities are great and never ending, the resort is massive! There’s table tennis, 2 pools, a restaurant and additional a la carte restaurant. The food was nice and their service was good on the most part. There’s a terrace to have evening drinks on with stunning views of the sea, there also plenty of seating inside. The room we stayed in was some what dated but had absolutely everything we needed and the sea view room didn’t disappoint. There’s a shop within the hotel for drinks, cigarettes, souvenirs, footwear etc but the price is more expensive than what you would pay for in a shop outside the hotel. There’s entertainment each night for the kids and adults alike, with adult entertainment starting from 9PM, ranging from Karaoke and quizzes. The entertainment team really make you at ease and not cheesy at all like you see at other hotels. There’s parking on site if you have hired a car and there’s also a shuttle service provided by the hotel for trips into central Skala. You can definitely see how this hotel received its 5 star rating.

We stayed here last week and were absolutely blown away by the hotel. It was a little quiet as it was early in the season so we didn't see it functioning at full capacity, but nevertheless we had an amazing time.
The location is roughly an hours drive from the airport, we rented a car and the drive there was beautiful and picturesque, going through the mountains with lots of views of the small villages along the say.
On arrival, we were taken to our room and we were able to park our car directly outside, a bit of a bonus! The man who took us down couldn't do enough for us, helping unload our bags and showing us how everything works.
The rooms looked a little dated on some of the reviews, but ours seemed to have been recently decorated. It was modern, with a really good aircon system and a good shower. We stayed in a room with a sea view and it was spacious and the beds we comfortable with plenty of pillows.
Rooms were cleaned and left immaculate every day. They came round fairly early at around 10-11am meaning we never came back to a messy room.
The staff are incredibly friendly and polite, everyone greeted us with a smile and nothing was too much trouble. Staff would bring drinks over to your table so you don't have to go up to the bar, and if you did they would tell you to sit down so they could bring them over to you. They were constantly cleaning, tidying and taking glasses away throughout the day and evening. The reception staff were happy to assist with booking taxis and advising on nearby trips.
The waiters in the restaurant area were fantastic. They would seat you and take your drinks order the moment you arrive, pour your drinks for you and clear away empty plates very attentively. The food was fantastic and definitely a level above a standard "all inclusive buffet style". Each night had a different theme with plenty of choice. Everything was fresh, hot and tasty.
We also used the al a carte meze restaurant upstairs and the service was just as good as in the main restaurant. The waiter we had was very knowledgeable about the area, telling us the history of the hotel and the region. I personally loved the food, but if you are a bit of a fussy eater I would stick to the downstairs restaurant. If you like Mediterranean cuisine and seafood, you'll definitely have a great evening in here, but I know this will not be to everyone's taste.
As it was quiet, there wasn't much in the way of entertainment which was understandable. The last 2 nights the animation lead, Lenny, came and was fully of energy making everyone feel relaxed, welcome and helped everyone have a great time. He helped create a really fun but relaxing atmosphere around the hotel throughout the day and evening.
The setting of this hotel is absolutely spectacular. The views from the pool, restaurant and our room were just breath taking and with a short 5 minute taxi/bus ride into Skala town, I don't think you'll find a hotel in a better location in the world. Skala had the perfect balance of busy, without being rowdy. There are plenty of great restaurants and bars and you are really spoiled for choice.
I just want to reiterate how great the staff are here, they are a real credit to the hotel, so friendly and attentive and contributed to us having an amazing stay in Kefalonia, the owner must be very proud having such a great team looking after his guests.
We will 100% be back!

Came for a family wedding, so a lot of us at the resort. Felt well looked after with great staff who were always happy to help. Standouts were Penny from the restaurants who was super helpful and got to know our usual orders plus the lads on the entertainment staff who were great with the kids.
Good location as well, close to both Skala and Paros. Resort also has a bus running to Skala. The view from the room and pool was top-notch.
Will definitely stay here again if we return to Kefalonia for a full holiday 😀
