Maintenance is a problem. Bathtub was leaking and AC went out once. Badly overpriced for what it is and the 5 star status it boasts.

We have just returned from the Ionian Emerald Resort and had a wonderful time. Although the hotel is rated 5* a fairer rating would be 4.5*. A few tweeks would bring it up to its listed 5*. A better complementary tea/coffee tray etc. Two tea bags and 2 little pots of milk really isn't adequate. Bottled water supplied daily, a mini bar and a better shower arrangement. The room did have a large bath with jets and the shower was over the bath but a walk in shower would be better, buts that's only our opinion. Our suggestion of a long hanging space for dresses was taken on board by the management. Having said that the staff without exception were excellent, and a special mention to Eva and Alex on reception, Fania on the bar and our wonderful room lady Agnise (apologies if name spelt incorrectly) . Good staff are essential to making the holiday . The breakfast menu could be improved but there was plenty of choice and the omelettes were fab. We will be returning to this hotel as it was so very relaxed and in a lovely position just a short walk into Sami where the choice of restaurants, bars etc was just right. We had a deluxe room and it was very spacious with an amazing view. As said we had a wonderful time at the Ionian Emerald and we will book again.

We would highly recommend this hotel. It is set in beautiful well kept gardens. It is a quiet family run hotel, the staff are very friendly and went out of their way to make our stay relaxing. The hotel is very clean and everyone we spoke to was helpful and welcoming. There are plenty of restaurants nearby if you don’t want to eat at the hotel and a short walk to Sami where there are plenty of places to eat. We will definitely be returning

Great location. Easy stroll in Sami. Rooms tired and bathroom dark with only a hand shower. Daily room cleaning very good. Breakfast poor basic quality. Pool, hotel beach and facilities shared with sister hotel (Athena , 2 star) meaning often not being able to find an available sun bed.Very unfair after paying top dollar at the Emerald! Nothing much goes on at this hotel which if you just want to relax and chill is great. Definitely not 5 star. 4 at best.

Had a great family holiday here. Lovely hotel which had a very friendly feel. All the staff worked so hard to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible. The pool area is very relaxing and the evening bar and restaurant has great food and particularly good cocktails. The local restaurants were really good, we went to Zervati in the evening a lot as the food was so nice and was a very friendly family restaurant. At lunch time we went to Karavomilos on the sea front most days, only 5 mins from the hotel, amazing views over the bay towards Sami, food was lovely and was a great way to spend a lunchtime. We went in to Sami a few times and the food was always good, a lot of restaurants to choose from, the walk from the hotel in the evening is very easy and relaxing. Couldn’t recommend this hotel enough, thanks to all the hard working staff who made our holiday so enjoyable.

I’ve just got back from celebrating our 20 year wedding anniversary in Sami. Upon arrival at the hotel the staff where simply fantastic and so helpful throughout. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast amazing each morning - fantastic fresh omelettes and a wide selection. Sun loungers are readily available, on some days people leave towels and go off doing other things but the staff resolve this quickly. Pool is amazing. Pool bar is fantastic and lunch bar superb, would recommend the Carbonara, grilled chicken and spring rolls. Cocktails amazing also and brought over to your lounger. Prices are fantastic. Evening dinner even better, like eating top UK restaurant food and the beef fillet is unreal. Staff helped us to hire a car also. Rooms cleaned everyday and hotel is spotless. We will 100% be going back next year. There are some tavernas around a five minute walk away and Sami is a beautiful 15-20 minute walk along the sea front where there are over 30 tavernas to choose from. We also enjoyed cocktails in Willys and Kraken Bar. Takes about 45 minutes from airport so pre book transfer. Absolutely amazing
