Sunset Paradise Resort

I had a great holiday ! very relaxing /quiet and chilled. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, which I expect from a family run business. My room was very spacious and clean and the pool side was beautiful. Yes there is a hill but the bonus is panoramic views which are stunning.

I am writing this on our last day here. I booked a suprise break for my daughter and I. The hotel is a 2 star (about right) and has everything you need. The rooms are spotlessly clean thanks to Boona, the cleaner. It has a fridge, cooker rings,toaster and air-con(pay extra).. The room was really quiet, so we had good nights sleep. We stopped in room B1 which was a 1 bedroom apartment facing the sea. The pool is a cold freshwater one which is clean with ample free sunbeds. There is a poolside bar which serves food during the day. Mikalis the waiter/cook is great. The only warning is:- it is an extremely steep hill you have to walk up to get there. NOT for someone with a back problem or disability.. Taxi was much easier.

Second time here, came last year too, yes the hill is a bit steep but then the view is lovely, Small friendly pool area always free sunbeds. Owner and staff are friendly and can't do enough for you. A nice walk down to the restaurants on the main road and a taxi back up the hill. If you have been to Greece before and like small and friendly, Sunset Paradise In Lassi, Kefalonia, is great, Soon booking for 2024

Beware of booking a stay here. Reviews I read about the hill being tough going were correct but that was the very least of the issues at this place. We went with my son and daughter in law and we were both given basement rooms. Ours did have a sea view but the grounds were unkempt and uncared for. After two nights we asked to be moved as the drains flooded constantly and the drain water was coming up through the bathroom floor. We all got a stomach bug which we cannot definitely say was connected and could well have been food poisoning but either way we were bedridden for two days and felt very ill. Whilst there our toilet broke as well as the shower head and the moldy shower curtain wrapped around us and the shower tray was blocked with other peoples grime so overflowed. The pool was ok but was very cold as was an unheated freshwater pool which was shaded for much of the day. There were very old and broken sun loungers with filthy padding and the whole place seemed unloved. I felt sorry for the staff who double as cleaners, bar tenders and cooks. Staff noted to cook in the same rubber gloves they use to handle cash! All in all I would never ever return to this place and Jet2 should in my opinion take it from their list or at least offer it as a one star and be honest about it. It's such a shame as this could be a lovely place with some basic updating and some TLC. I loved Kefalonia but not this hotel. This has been the worst place I have ever stayed in the Greek islands. I understand basic but there are some cleanliness standards that should be adhered to. Stay at your own risk!

Firstly, we booked and stayed in one of the apartments ( B1 ), but we saw the upset and anxiety felt by people who booked a studio and received a basement studio, I agree with previous comments that Jet2 should look at pricing, it can't be right that a basement studio with views of a wall or unkept garden should be paying the same as those on top floor with magnificent views. Negatives for us, included the gardens and around the pool area, they clearly hadn't seen a gardener or had any maintenance in months, tiny bathrooms, but it is Greece, having said that the shower was so small and the number of times I got wrapped in the curtain I began to think I was starring in a B Horror movie and would be stabbed in the back at any time. Positives for us were the staff in particular Vanya who was reception, chef and bar person, she was so helpful and friendly we loved her, Jon in the evening was great with his knowledge of the area, restaurants etc , breakfasts were good freshly cooked and reasonably priced, cold drinks were held in standalone fridges you help yourself and you get a frozen glass from the bar staff, also very reasonable. Our apartment was basic but suited our needs. The views were spectacular , it was lovely to sit with a coffee first thing and watch the boats go by. Won't bother with the hill it's already been covered in detail, but we did find it funny when a taxi refused the final stretch due to his suspension and charged us full fare. The pool area was fine , the pool was very cold, and some beds needed replacing it was the end of the season however, no need to get up the crack of dawn to reserve a bed as very quiet. All in all, we had a good stay, with a little vision and a few quid invested. This could be a great place to stay. Would we visit again? That would be a No.

I stayed at sunset late August in room 10A, the lack of view didn't bother me much as the only time I spent on my veranda was to drink my morning coffee. I read previous reviews and got a car delivered by greekstones (book early!) The hill is quite long and steep but was never a problem with the car! The room was lovely and clean, even had a plug-in for mozzies! The bathroom was small but completely adiquate (and quite the norm for a standard apartment in Greece). The pool area was lovely, again very clean! Vanya at the bar was lovely and the young lad in the evenings (didnt catch his name). I would definately stay again, I had a fabulous time travelling around the island, lassi is a great central base to stay with lots of beaches nearby.

Some of the rooms do have striking sea views but if you book with jet 2 it's pot luck, yes we got one of the basement rooms A10, I was prepared for the hill as I had read the reviews and can rough it as far as the accommodation but thought the view would be worth it but when you get past the salmon pink walls the view is terrible, I don't know if the scaffolding covered in dead grapes is a garden view but you don't get a choice , I did speak to the rep but was told I should have read the reviews and this is what you get with a studio , these rooms should be half price, won't be back

Moving hotel today! Arrived yesterday. Very disappointed. All the reviews on the lower ground rooms are correct. Unfortunately for us we got 1! They have offered us a move to a higher floor but the room is the same so no point really. The bathroom is awful. The rooms are like a 80s throwback. It's so dismal and dreary. The grounds aren't kept nice. Pool needs a clean. The whole place needs updating. Jet2! Seen the rep yesterday Told her my thoughts She said they can move us accommodation but will take 2 to 3 days charge us a cancellation fee for this hotel plus the cost of the next one plus 50 quid admin@! I said forget it we will find our own. We have. Its set us back 500 quid but we just want to be happy. It's our wedding anniversary today! Anyway I want to state I'm no snob! But this hotel is 1 star. The staff are lovely but I'm super shocked jet2 have put their name to this place. I told the rep if they put the real pics up they wouldn't get bookings or very few. Just please don't waste your money. I normally ignore the negative reviews more fool me!! The beds comfy The wardrobe is nice The floors are lethal Wouldn't let me upload a pic of the view from the room. Shame really!

As mentioned in other reviews we were given room A8 a studio apartment in the basement facing a wall next to the laundry room….I’m amazed jet2 are still promoting these studios I think if you get an upper room with a sea view your views would be different so disappointed and the studio was so small to move around in and so dark. The bathroom door is warped so doesn’t shut….again this has been mentioned in other reviews. Pool is very nice staff are nice the hill is a killer the only holiday I’ve not put weight on🤣 as a couple of treks to and from the main ***** was like a workout…..love lassi the restaurants and beaches are perfect but the location and apartments most definitely not.
