Very nice hotel, rooms spotless, staff all really pleasant pool area has plenty of beds, breakfast had plenty of choice. The only downside for us was its in a very, very quiet area, with only a couple of restaurants nearby. Dining in at night for us wasn't an option as the dining area is not vey atmospheric, but the menu, if you like to eat in looked ok. Sami can be reached along the beach with a 15 min walk with plenty of tavernas but its not the prettiest of places, we opted to drive to Efimia which has more old world charm.

We enjoyed our 10 days in this hotel. Although I would say it is more a 4× than 5×. We had a superior room with a great view over looking the pool and sea. Like another reviewer We had no safe in our room ,one was brought on request but not fixed to the wall!!!. The biggest draw back is that guest from the next door 3× hotel use all the hotel amenities , and can be seen placing towels on Sun beds particularly on the beach early morning. Makes one wonder why are we paying 5× prices when next door residents are just walking in. 20 mins walk into Sami where there are numerous bars and restaurants.

Second time at this hotel. The staff are lovely, rooms clean and spacious, lots of choice for breakfast. Pool bar and staff are very good as is the food served there. Great location by the beach and a short walk to tavernas in Karavomylos, absolutely recommend the bakery there too 100%. Short walk into Sami for other great restaurants by the harbour.Had a room with splash pool which was used daily to cool off and it was pleasant to relax on our own patio.

The Ionian Emerald Resort hotel is situated in a very pretty part of the coastline with beautiful views. There is a lovely pool, pool bar which serves snacks at lunchtime, and the breakfast area is good with excellent breakfasts. I love swimming in the sea, and was very pleased with the private beach, small but always quiet. Pebbly, but the sea is lovely. The service in the hotel is superb. We asked to move rooms after the first night because the shower over the bath was difficult to use. We were moved without any problem to a room with shower. Unfortunately the air conditioning failed later in the week, and we had to move again for 1 night. This room had a bathroom with a frosted glass partition instead of a wall. I did not like that! The whole bedroom is illuminated at night if someone needs to go! All the bathrooms seem to have frosted glass doors. Why?? Otherwise, the hotel is pretty good and I would go back as long as I could have a decent bathroom! The location is good too. A 15 minute walk into Sami. Loads of lovely tavernas. Everyone is extremely helpful and the service always excellent. Food and wine great!

Beautiful hotel in a quiet location but short walk along the beach from the small pretty port of Sami where there is plenty of tavernas. Lovely pool which can get noisy but there are also sun-beds on the beach where it is quieter. Staff are all very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. Only disappointed was the lighting in the bathroom which is quite dark and leaking shower which if your not careful floods. Wouldn’t say it’s 5 star but it has the potential.

We really enjoyed our time at the Ionian Emerald resort so much so we didn't want to leave!! 😀 It was very tranquil and a lovely walk into Sami of an evening. Only criticism would be the shower as it needs updating. Many thanks to all the staff as always very friendly and helpful

This is not a 5 Star Hotel…. Breakfast was good, Staff were lovely, and rooms cleaned everyday… We had a superior room with sea view which was spacious and good storage. Shower didn’t work well, and the safe in the room wasn’t attached to the wall so someone could just walk out with the safe. What you’re not told by jet2 is that the budget hotel next door can use the facilities, so I think anyone going in July and August need to get there beds early in morning. Also no local shops around for water snacks etc…although it’s only a 15min walk to Sami, it’s a long walk every day for essential things..
