Small , intimate hotel.This is the most amazing and tranquil resort.The hotel is immaculate and tasteful. The staff are attentive, friendly and considerate,. Take a gentle stroll into in to Sami along the beach and recharge in the beautiful landsacped gardens. Nico, the evening waiter was the most pleasant young man you could ever wish to meet. Would definately reurn.

This was without doubt one of the best holidays I have ever had in Greece and considering that I have been visiting the country every year for the past 25+ years, that is something. Forget the Thomas Cook flight (they have the worst leg room of all), we arrived and were quickly swept away to a waiting taxi and an... More

We landed in Kefalonia and were escorted after a short time to our private transfer by the Thomas cook rep. The transfer was enjoyable. It was still daylight so we were able to take in the scenery that the island offers; views of imposing mountains, sandy beaches and magnificent blue bays. The hotel although pleasant enough, in my opinion, is... More

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at the Ionian Emerald. We chose a deluxe room for the view and we voted it our best view ever ( Mikos – can we have room 101 next time please?) - the room was perfect and the fridge really useful. The glass balconies mean you wake up to an amazing view... More

The young lady who ran the Pool Bar was also very good and... More

The Ionian Emerald hotel is certainly one of the best hotels on the island of Kephalonia. It is immaculately clean, ideally located, spacious and welcoming. The staff take a little while to warm to you (maybe that was just me), but if you engage with them the warmth is genuine, as opposed to corporate. This is a family run hotel... More

Firstly, I do not expect to pay for 5 star accommodation and facilities to discover that they are effectively shared with the 3 star Hotel guests (who I have no problem with at all) next door (Athina). Check out reviews of the Athina Hotel as many people mention it. The Athina Hotel does not have a pool. The only reason... More
