Beautiful hotel - fab location on the sea front and easy walking distance to Sami town. Clean and spacious rooms . Lovely pool area with excellent food and juicy cocktails. The staff were great and Helena ( the manager ) was extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

We visited The Ionian Emerald Hotel in September and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is very close to the sea and the outlook is just beautiful. The pool area is very well cared for and there were always sunbeds available. Food and drink was available all day til into the evening at the pool bar and staff there were great. There were also sunbeds and shades on the pebbly beach for hotel guests. The bedroom was very comfortable, the only downside being the rather old fashioned bathrooms which have been mentioned in other reviews. They definitely need attention but contained everything you needed. Staff everywhere in the hotel were very pleasant and helpful. When we reported a couple of things which needed attention, it was dealt with immediately. We booked a car through the hotel and the whole process was extremely smooth and easy. Breakfast was really good. We ate dinner in the restaurant twice. Outside on the terrace was nice but the restaurant and bar inside really lack atmosphere. Food was good with plenty of choice. The walk to Sami to other restaurants can feel a little long. It took us about 25/30 mins depending on how far in you go. Overall, a really good hotel.

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.

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.

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!
