Sami Beach Hotel

Sami Beach Hotel

📍 Karavomilos, Sami
★★★ 9.4 (60 reviews)

"Sami Beach Hotel is a wonderful family run hotel. Spyros, his lovely wife and everyone involved at the hotel give an incredibly warm welcome. They kindly spoilt our daughter on her birthday and saved the day when we had to return after flight problems. Nothing is too much trouble.and you are greeted with a smile by everyone working there. The pool is great, no sunbed hogging, the food at the pool bar excellent and the cocktails amazing (especially the mojitos!) We used the kayak and paddle-boards too which were fun. It is a great location for the tavernas in the village and Sami itself as well as visiting the beautiful Ithaca. The hotel’s airport service is also definitely recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. "

"Very good hotel we stayed in a superior room with pool and sea view which was ok but the bathroom needs updating. Plus points however are it was kept spotlessly clean by the maid Adriana who seemed to be always cleanjng. The breakfast room was very inviting with plenty of choices and the two ladies there were very pleasant and helpful. The pool didn't really have a shallow end so not suitable for non -swimmers as was stated by several people because difficult to access. Lovely setting with small private beach. Two tavernas close by but no local supermarket. There was however a bakery. Easy stroll into Sami about 20 minutes where there are many excellent restaurants. Please note that the sister hotel Athina has use of the pool. The Athina bar however at night is lovely with reasonable prices. Bar at the Emerald lacks atmosphere and is usually empty."

📍 Agias Efimias, Samis Avenue, Karavomilos, Sami
★★★★ 9.1 (44 reviews)

"This is my third visit to Kefalonia and it won’t be my last. I am relatively well travelled and have holidayed in Greece a number of times. Much of the reason I enjoy visiting the country is down to the climate, the food, the cultural atmosphere, the energy and above all the generosity of the Greek people and its community. This was my first visit to the Meilti Suites. I have stayed in many 5* star/first class accommodation over the years, and this was above all one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had whilst staying in Greece. For the most part, the staff in particular could not do enough to help - Stakis, the Operations Manager and Vasia, Property Co-ordinator went above and beyond on every occasion and offered the best customer service during my stay. Nothing was ever too much trouble and at every given opportunity they would go out of their way to offer their support. My advice to anyone looking to make a booking, is to get in quick, because before you know it, the place will be gone, gone, gone! It really is that good!"

Sami Beach Hotel ★★★
"This hotel is a hidden gem in Kefalonia at Sami beach. From the minute you arrive you are made to feel welcome. No request is too difficult for the front desk staff. Customer service in all areas is exceptional. Breakfast morning staff greet you everyday with the genuine smiles on their faces. Facilities inside the room and in the grounds are clean, well kept and inviting. Pool environment & bar is great. Both ocean view and mountain view rooms offer great views of the surrounding area. Well done to the family who owns this hotel."

Ionian Emerald Resort ★★★★★
"Excellent location and fabulous for surrounding restaurants, bars and tavernas! Rooms are spacious with good air conditioning. Breakfast good and the staff are friendly and welcoming! One of the best locations I’ve stayed in the Greek islands. However, can’t be a 5* as the hotel readily has visitors from the 3* Athina across the road who pay €5 per night tourist tax whereas hotel guests pay €15 per night! There is no charge for them to use facilities, sunbeds and towels! You can’t unfortunately offer a 5* experience on those terms!!! Would I stay again? With all the pros ordinarily yes! But because of the lowering of their standards then NO!! should the current arrangement change then in a flash i’d change this opinion and return regularly!!!"

Meliti Waterfront Suites ★★★★
"Ammos is the Penthouse suite at Meliti Waterfront suites. Its perfectly located overlooking the sea and the Karavomylos Taverna a few minutes’ walk away. It is reached via a flight of stairs (about 25 steps) from a garden entrance. Its probably better than the photos show; excellent cool décor and three bedrooms and two bathroom, one ensuite. The third bedroom had twin beds and is compact. The largest bedroom with two patio doors onto differing balconies does not have the ensuite, this is off the midsize bedroom. The main bathroom is large and also houses the washing machine. The ensuite is very compact and has a small almost vanity size basin. (Note both bathrooms have no basin plugs to retain water!) Our initial welcome was warm and friendly with a quick explanation of the facilities and near by restaurants and places for breakfast. Unlike many places we have stayed, if you wish to cater for yourself sometimes useful items such as condiments, foil, cling film, etc perhaps left by previous guests are not present so come prepared. The whole apartment however is very well equipped, with everything you need to prepare meals, plus two coffee machines (one Nespresso) and kettle. The beds are very comfortable, our bedding was changed once in 7 days, oddly on day 6. Towels were changed after 3 days. One large towel and one hand towel per bedroom. I would stay again as this is a stunning suite and very convenient for travel around the island, most places, Argostoli, Assos, Fiskardo, Poros and Skala all reachable within one hours drive, Agia Efimia in about 30 mins and Sami a 20-30 mins walk or a 10 minute drive. If like us you arrive and have an evening taxi transfer, I recommend you stop at a mini market enroute to buy water and provisions for your first breakfast etc. Don’t forget to pack a couple of plugs for the basins!"

Kalypso Studios & Apartments ★★★
"We have just had the most wonderful holiday here in Sami. We didn’t want to leave! Despina and her family are the loveliest people you could meet and they gave us lots of tips for places to visit. The accommodation is spotlessly clean, very quiet and chilled. There is a lovely bakery next door and you can also have breakfast on the terrace with fabulous views of the sea and the mountains. It is a stones throw from the sea and a short walk into Sami. We hired a car and the driving is super easy, just go nice and slow! We took the car to Ithaca for a day and visited Skala and Lassi and a couple of other places. But once we found the beach nearby, which is called Antisamos beach, we went there everyday. It’s a very easy 10 minute drive and very easy to park. It’s such a beautiful place, crystal clear waters, lots of free sun beds and places to eat and drink. Also a fantastic bar to go to with great music in the evening is called Manifiko in the heart of Sami, a short walk away. There are numerous places to eat too, all of which are delicious. We will definitely return and wouldn’t hesitate to come back here to stay."
