"Excellent staff. Everyone with a genuine smile and a sense of attention to details. Location is also marvelous, the beach is the best with comfortable beach chairs and a well located bar. Once again the staff at the beach were friendly and helpful.
Couple of things need improvement: 1) there is a need for cabanas to change wet swim suits. 2) the beach shower needs to be better maintained and perhaps closed. It’s backward that when you are taking a shower people passing by are waiting and watching for you to finish your shower so that they can wash their feet. 3) the air conditioner which centrally controlled shuts down in the middle of the night and the room becomes unbearable. 4) the night stands next to the bed are primitive, more stylish night stands would be helpful, you can’t really put anything on them because they are tiny. 5) The selection of food at the breakfast is limited. Better pastry and cheese options should be made available. Even though the ala carte choices were fine for breakfast the chef could change every three days, for a guest staying more than a week it becomes a bit boring to have to select from the same choices. And finally the guest car park is located at a very dangerous junction better signage or some sort of traffic light needs to be placed to prevent accidents."
"The property is definitely in need of maintenance ie the showers, the doors, the doors to balcony stiff and hard to open and close, the drain in the bathroom; but the Irinna grew on us both it is like going back in time. The staff are absolutely incredible they make you feel so welcome are kind Friendly"
"We were most impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of staff, the excellent cuisine, the magical setting and great location. Perfect for relaxation, indoor and outdoor activities, organised social events, and walking distance to Fiskardo and nearby beach. Ideal as a resort holiday or using the resort as a base from which to explore Kefalonia and neighbouring islands. Would highly recommend."
"Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Staff were exceptional, very helpful and knowledgeable on Island things to do and places to eat. Our room was close to the incredible beach. The breakfast was exceptional with great staff and served a variety of local and international food. Thank you!"
"We stayed here for 5 nights, the rooms are very spacious and the view is amazing. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you rent a car there are many spots available where to park the car. The swimming pool is spacious and only 2 minutes from the beach which is set up with umbrellas and sunbeds. We had a great stay here. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay great!"
