Santa Marina Hotel

"We thought the Santa Marina was an excellent hotel. Exceptionally clean, the room was very comfortable, lovely comfy beds and nice pillows. The towels were nice too. The bathroom had recently been refurbished, but the shower still leaked and we had to put a small towel on the floor! That's not uncommon in Greek bathrooms though, in our experience! Our balcony had a nice view down to the sea and it was lovely to sit there in the evening. The breakfast was good, our only complaint was the lack of choice of fruit - watermelon (which I don't like) or tinned peaches every day. We ate at the hotel three times and the dinner buffet was excellent, good quality and a wide choice. The air conditioning in the restaurant made it very cold, we preferred to sit outside on the terrace with a lovely view. However for those who chose to eat inside there was lovely gently music playing. We found the staff all to be friendly and helpful. The only thing that slightly spoiled our holiday was that there was a family with a small child (under two) who was a screamer, we could often hear it screaming from our room, and also late afternoons by the pool the family were always there. We like peace and quiet when on holiday. We didn't go on the beach in Agios Nikitas as it was too crowded, and I felt the walk to Milos beach would be too much for me, but fortunately we had a hire car and were able to drive to other places. But I must warn people - Lefkada is a very crowded island, even in September. The roads down to the west coast beaches were always rammed with parked cars, and if you met something coming the other way it could be very tricky indeed. Lefkada is a stunningly beautiful island, and the Santa Marina is a great hotel, but if you don't like busy places probably better to choose another island."

Porto Ligia

"We loved the hotel. The best location so near the sea. Beautiful views from sea view room Some road noise and could see the road from our room but that is the only negative. Rooms were kept spotless , clean towels every day and bed changed alternately Free air con, pool towels and safe Lovely helpful staff. Excellent breakfast with fantastic choice of fresh fruit and other coke buffet items. Amazing to sit on terrace watching the boats go by. We tried three local tavernas which were all very good and used hire car for 12 nights to see the rest of the island. Nidri was about 20 minutes drive away with 30 tavernas on sea front . We counted ! Loved that the sea had a lake feel in places.Swimming was brilliant all over the island. Towards the end of June things started to get busier."

Surf Hotel

"Once you get your head around the fact that the hotel is pretty basic, it's a brilliant place to be. Our room was small, had a rustic wooden, free standing wardrobe, the hangers were mismatched, the shower ran a bit hot and cold and it was generally a little tired.....but....do not let my words put you off. It also had air conditioning and a fridge and did the job. We didn't pay "plush" money and we got what we paid for. The location is fabulous. Walk out onto the promenade and turn right, you have great restaurants less than a 5 minute stumble away. Turn left and you have a 10-15 minute walk into all the action at the port and you pass numerous bars on the way. The hotel breakfast is fine and plenty of it. The bar serves food between 13:00 and 16:00. Do not miss out. The food is fantastic. I'm told it's family run and many ingredients are home produced. Whatever, very tasty for a break in the middle of the day. The staff were friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I'd recommend it as long as you have the correct expectations. I would certainly go back and may well do that."

Katerina Lefkada

"Katerina Resort was magnificent! Andreas (the owner) and the staff are wonderful! The environment is friendly and they are very helpful with recommendations including beaches, restaurants, and even other sites we had not yet thought of seeing (lighthouses, churches, etc). Lefkada is a beautiful island and the town of Vasiliki is quaint yet lively. A wonderful place to stay, we will be back!!"

Hotel Grand Nefeli

"The hotel bears little resemblance to the impression given on the website. This is not four star luxury accommodation. Nearly everything about this place is dishonest e.g Grand Suites having Spa Baths. There are no spa baths in this hotel. We stayed in the VIP Grand Suite: very tatty with lots of maintenance issues, sink smelt terrible. Management rude and aggressive. No interest in fixing anything. Very little hot water. Shower head inoperable. Do yourself a favour, book somewhere else."

Ionian Blue Bungalows and Spa Resort

"My report is very contradictory, but just to say, we would revisit the Ionian Blue Hotel. So, two couples, in our 60s wanted to visit Lefkada. We chose the Ionian Blue Hotel, for it’s 5* status. It’s in a district called Nikiana, which is not far from Nikiana Town and Nidri Town – both needing a taxi to get to, so maybe good to hire a car to get around? We’d booked superior rooms, with sea views. I can honestly say the views were absolutely stunning. We have travelled a lot and we haven’t had a view like that in quite some time. A nice balcony with chairs, to enjoy the sun rise. But the room itself was a little tired. We were only staying for four nights, so we didn’t want to make a fuss and we got ourselves comfortable. We didn’t have tea/coffee making facilities, but a bottle of water. Water isn’t expensive at the hotel, so no need to go out, traipsing around for a supermarket. There is a minibar, free of use, as is the safe. Our bathroom was pretty big, with a few toiletries, but the problem being that the main shower, was in a cubicle with the toilet, so the toilet and floor got soaked. We ended up standing in the bath and showering, but water still managed to go everywhere, so we were forever mopping up. We were provided with new towels every day. But, had we been staying longer than 4 nights, even with that fantastic view, I would have asked to have been moved. The room itself was big, with lots of mirrors, lots of storage space, a nice big dressing table but, to be honest, I used the bathroom to get ready – that’s where the hairdryer is – attached to the wall, and there was a lot of worktop to store all my things. There is no iron or ironing board in the room, but you can request one, and there is also a cleaning/ironing service. I tend to rinse small items, and I missed a little washing line. The aircon was great in our room – no problem whatsoever. Their main restaurant is very big – lots of inside seating, and a nice terrace. We were B&B, so ate on the terrace, over-looking the Ionian Sea, which was pleasant. Smoking is allowed outside. Saying that, most places in Lefkada allow smoking. And, I was pleased to say we only saw one cat, which people did annoyingly feed. Not that there were many people at the hotel – it was empty! They had had a big Porsche conference, just before we arrived, and as we were leaving, the pool area was being cleared of all sunbeds, as a wedding was about to take place, so you would have to go out for the day, or go down to the jetty. And, going back to breakfast, the choice was very limited. But, we managed to always find something. Now on to the pool area, it’s very nice, with spongy cushions and because the hotel was empty, we sometimes found that we had the pool to ourselves. It was a decent size, clean, with beautiful views. There’s a little bar/restaurant, near the pool, with a couple of sofas to sit and enjoy the views. And, tables and chairs if you are going to eat. And"

G George

"We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at the G George! The Staff were helpful, friendly and welcoming, a big thank you to Caroline, Dunja and Joanna for their helpful tips and guidance about the resort. We could not fault our ground floor room, it was clean, spacious, excellent faciities refreshed every day by the maids. The pool was very clean and plenty of sun beds with or without shade. The bar was well stocked and had plenty of comfortable seating prices were similar to the rest of the resort. The breakfasts were amazing, plenty of choice and something different added every day. Great snacks available at the bar and evening meals were of a very high standard and great value. The location was perfect, nice and peaceful and only a five minute stroll to the resort centre and a ten minute walk to the local bus stop and coach drop off/pickup point. We recomend this hotel if you are staying in Nidri! Thank you all for a wonderful stay! Dave & Jayne. Yammas!"

Lefkadio Suites

"We stayed for one night early November out of season. We were due to catch an early bus to Thessaloniki from the bus station which was a 5 minute walk away so a great location for us. It is a 15 mins walk to the town centre. Two large supermarkets and a bakery nearby. The staff and their attention to customer satisfaction was exemplary. The venue is of a high standard and the pool area is very nice. Breakfast delivered to the room included fruit juice, tea and coffee, two fried eggs and a hot toastie each, croissants, choc au pains, jams, honey, cake and apples and this was described a little breakfast as we were out of season! We will be back without a doubt."

Rouda Bay Beach Hotel

"There wasn't sponge and liquid detergent in kitchen to wash the dishes. The kitchen shelves were full with dust. The location is pretty far from the rest of the island. The beach is pebbled and too crowded. The location doesn't offer much to do, actually it's not a village...there is some tavernas, but they also were crowded and if you don't make reservation you can't find a place to eat."
