Electra Kefalonia Hotel & Spa

From the moment we arrived, it was such a warm welcome! Straight away we were offered a welcome drink of our choice! We were shown to our room by the polite and helpful young man. Our room was beautiful! Many thoughtful touches, such as a stocked mini bar with water, Coca Cola, beers, water and an orange drink! All complimentary. Beach bag with flip flops, dressing gown and slippers, tea and coffee facilities, they even had an umbrella which I’m happy to see we didn’t need! Our room was a double with a private pool! The deck had table and chairs, drying rack and 2 comfortable sun beds, with a padded mattress! The sun bed has a little table which pulls out from the side! We also had beach towels provided! The steps in to the pool were nice, unlike other places I have stayed where they are a ladder. Breakfast! Wow!! The staff are all so friendly and attentive! The menu is lovely, I enjoyed the eggs Benedict, and the scrambled eggs with feta cheese! Both were so tasty! The buffet is to a high standard with a lovely variety of meats, cheeses, pastries, fruit and hot food! The location is moments from the airport and we have enjoyed watching the planes come and go! There are a few tavernas dotted about nearby! We tried 2 and enjoyed the traditional offerings! The other 2 nights we went to Argostoli The bus stop is over the road from the hotel and down a bit, close to the beach entrance! 2 min walk. The times are on a board and they run on time! Overall I would highly recommend and absolutely return here! Thank you to all the staff for making this an enjoyable stay!

My daughter and I have just had the most lovely 4 night stay. The staff are warm, friendly, attentive and yet professional, giving the place a very welcoming and serene feel. The hotel is sparkly clean, our room was attended to every day and had everything we needed including a UK power socket! Electra is only 5 minutes from the airport, so no long transfer time. Yes, planes fly low over the hotel coming in to land, but I loved seeing them, and it’s not a busy airport. Breakfast buffet with menu options was absolutely delicious, and the Turquoise restaurant food in the evening was exceptional. We also ate at a couple of the nearby restaurants and one evening took a local taxi to another a bit further afield. The local taxi company has a €15 minimum fare. Argostoli is worth a visit, even just to see the turtles. €20 each way with local taxi company or a €2 bus that stops near the hotel. It’s very relaxing to just lounge by the hotel pool, the Cocktails and snacks are fab!! Ammes beach with sun loungers and beach bar is a 5 min walk. The hotel has towels you can take with you, just ask at the bar on your way out, and pop them in the poolside hamper when you get back. I agree the hotel has a grown up’s only feel. However, we saw a couple with a toddler in a high chair at breakfast one morning, and the staff were lovely with them. My thanks to Efy, Christos, Kosmas, Zoe, Michael and Chef Alexis for your excellent service. And a very special mention to restaurant manager Alexios, for your kindness and amazing hospitality.

This hotel is beautiful and has wonderful resort relaxation feel to it. It is well appointed, so clean, beautifully designed, the food is fantastic, and the spa is amazing. I so loved meeting Emma, who manages the spa. She was so knowledgeable and warm and friendly and I left with products that are absolute game changers for my skin and a sense of calm and relaxation that set me up for a wonderful trip in Kefalonia. Highly recommend and thank you so much Emma and team!! :)

Excellent stay!! Wonderful hotel with amazing staff!! Peaceful hotel with beautiful views, spotless rooms and truly execllent staff. Everything was perfect and we will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!!

I visited Electra hotel and spa during my vocation in Kefalonia. I chose to spend the day only at the spa since I wasn't staying at the hotel. Antonia and Emmanouela were really kind and so helpful. They guided me through every step of the services that the spa offered. The girls made me feel so comfortable and I enjoyed every moment of it. I felt so relaxed at the end that I am surely going to visit the spa again. Highly recommend it!.

The Electra Hotel, Kefalonia is surprisingly tranquil and a really great place to stay, despite it being so close to the airport. When landing in Kefalonia, you literally fly over the Hotel and gently glide on to the runway. (There are only a few flights each day, it makes you wonder at the power of Airplanes). It was very non intrusive in my opinion. My friend and I had the most relaxing holiday ever together in Kefalonia at the Electra. It's a super location in a very quiet area next to Svoronata Beach, with great local restaurants within walking distance. And only 35 mins by bus to Agristoli the capital, a beautiful small city, 10K inhabitants, where you can take trips around this stunning quiet green Island. The whole Electra Hotel Team were outstanding in the delivery of Hospitality, they were very professional, helpful, kind, fun and genuinely interested to give us a great guest experience. On our arrival at the Front Desk we got a genuine warm welcome from Giorgos, who was extremely conscientious, thorough and eager to take good care of us like we were part of the Hotel family. He helped us with any queries we had about the Hotel and the Island trips, he made excellent recommendations to suit us. His colleagues Emilios, & Kosmas, were very helpful and attentive. The Housekeeping team, Marianna, Athena, Anna, Sofia, Bina & Kusum, delivered a very high standard of service, very hardworking and very pleasant people. Alexis K., the Executive Chef and his team, Koukoulas, Aggelos, Giorgos, Nikitas & Barbara were very attentive, providing an excellent choice of food, lovely tasting food, presentation and service each day. At the Spa Emma was extremely welcoming, knowledgeable & together with Antonia they are wonderful therapists and provided us with excellent Massages, Facials and lots of great information and products without overselling. The Food & Beverage Team led by Manager Alexis F, delivered a top quality, discreet service. They were full of fun and always knew when to leave the guests alone. The complete team, Zoi, Rigas, Marialena, Michalis, Thankasis are one of the best cohesive teams I have ever come across in all my years in Recruitment for Hospitality. They were good to one another, happy together and it came across to the guests in the atmosphere and quality service. The Maintenance team of Giorgos & Thanasis really deserve great credit for the upkeep and care they take in their management of the property, it's immaculate and they do their work so quietly every day. We didn't really know what to expect, but our stay at the Electra Hotel was truly a wonderful relaxing experience in this beautiful boutique Hotel (36r) Certainly if you choose Kefalonia, I highly recommend you stay here. Happy holidays.

Fabulous hotel with a boutique exclusive feel / vibe to it. Being only 4 years old it was clean and contemporary throughout. During our 4 night stay all the staff throughout were exemplary in making us feel like VIP’s. They all were top class. Thank you to Effi in reception for the warm welcome and helping us plan our day trips. The room was a top floor balcony and it was superb. We had breakfast and lunch there and it was all of very high quality. We ate out so cannot comment on dining in the evening. The pool is large although there is a restricted space for sun beds so can imagine it getting crowded in peak periods. The hotel is very close to the airport and is on the flight path which we did not mind at all. A few suggestions to hotel management for an even greater experience: 1) I would suggest marketing it as an adults only hotel. It has that atmosphere already and over 90% guests we could see were couples so would ensure higher rate of repeat customers that profile such as us. 2) please implement and enforce a “no towels on empty sun beds” policy similar to other hotels these days. A few guests were reserving sun beds when it was obvious they were spending hours away from the hotel. Overall a very special 4 night stay at the Elektra! Thank you to all the staff there.
