I had an amazing time at the Cephalonia Palace Hotel! The staff really made our stay enjoyable, and the location next to the beach was perfect. The rooms were clean but a little dated, and while the food was plentiful, there were some limitations with the all-inclusive drinks. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway with great value for money.

I had a lovely three-night stay at Kefalonia Palace, enjoying the clean and inviting pool area and the friendly bar staff, especially Vaggelis. The hotel is peaceful and close to a small beach, but it's a bit isolated if you prefer more dining and nightlife options. The food was decent for a short stay, but the reception staff were unhelpful at times. Overall, it’s a good value for a short getaway.

The hotel has some nice features, like a beautiful pool area and well-maintained gardens. However, the rooms need a serious update, and the dining options are really lacking in quality. While the cleaning staff did a fantastic job, the overall experience was disappointing due to the poor food and drink choices.

I had high expectations for this hotel based on its star rating, but it didn't quite meet the mark. The location was good for accessing the Xi Beach, and the staff did their job well in cleaning. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, and overall, the hotel felt outdated. I enjoyed my time in Kefalonia, but I would definitely consider a different hotel for my next visit.

Rooms

Upon entering, I found the standard double room to be cramped and not spacious at all. The bathroom was particularly disappointing, small and showing its age.

The hotel was conveniently located near Xi Beach, but aside from that, there weren't many nearby options for exploration. Lixouri was a short trip away, but infrequent buses made it less accessible.

Dining

5.0

The meals were quite mediocre with little variety, which was a real letdown. There were a few decent options, but overall it did not live up to my expectations.

Facilities

The hotel’s facilities felt tired and worn. While the pool area had enough lounge chairs, the general atmosphere lacked vibrancy.

The hotel has a great family-friendly atmosphere, just a couple of minutes away from a beautiful beach. My room was spacious and well-maintained, but the small bathroom took away from the experience. The food was rather disappointing in variety, especially at dinner, leading us to eat out most nights. The drinks could be considered pricey, but the beach facilities were reasonably priced, making it a decent value overall.

I had a sad experience with this hotel, which really let down our usual enjoyment of Kefalonia. The room situation was a hassle, as we were given the wrong room type, and there were serious safety concerns with a broken lock. The hotel pool was nice, but we had trouble finding a sunbed and felt out of place with the entertainment. Despite this, the beach was lovely and the island itself is still a fantastic place to explore.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms were not ideal and felt poorly furnished, but we eventually moved to a better room with a large terrace. Still, they seemed a bit tired overall.

Service

The hotel provided a relaxing stay with a lovely pool area and friendly staff, but the dining experience left something to be desired, with limited food selection. The rooms were generally clean and comfortable, albeit showing signs of age. It’s not the ideal choice if you want lively nightlife, but for a peaceful getaway, it works well.

Rooms

6.4/10

We enjoyed our stay overall, as the hotel is right by the beautiful Xi beach, making it perfect for families. The atmosphere around the pool was nice, and our room was clean and spacious, but it was also quite noisy due to its proximity to the entertainment. Unfortunately, the dining experience left much to be desired, and we found ourselves eating out most nights. The service was friendly but sometimes felt a bit condescending.

Rooms

7.0

Our family room on the ground floor had comfortable bunk beds and a large terrace for enjoying the afternoon sun, but it was located right next to the pool, which led to some late-night noise.

Service

6.0

While the reception staff were excellent and ready to help, other staff members sometimes came off as condescending when we had issues, which made us hesitant to ask for assistance afterward.

Location

8.0

The hotel is ideally situated very close to the magnificent Xi beach, but it's a bit isolated if you're looking to explore outside the hotel; a taxi into town costs about 10 euros.

Dining

5.0

The food was disappointing; it felt mass-produced and lacked local flavors, so we opted to eat out in the evenings to enjoy better cuisine.

Facilities

The pool area was clean and well-maintained, offering a nice space to relax, although the noise level could be high when entertainment was happening.

We just returned from a lovely holiday at this hotel. The pool area and local beaches were fantastic for our young family. The rooms were clean but a little on the small side, and the dining experience was quite enjoyable overall, even if there were a few hiccups. However, the quality of the all-inclusive wine and some minor facilities issues could use improvement.
