Porto Galini Seaside Resort and Spa

"It was the 7th time visiting the hotel, as the previous years we had the best experience in the hotel in all sections. Unfortunately this year things changed. Some of previous facilities changed like for example the amenities at the room(some were used when we arrived), towels removed from the beach feeling that there was a beach police, some things that needed renovation especially the antisliders at the steps were almost destroyed and not changed. Most of the staff (same people that working there the previous years) were rude, unhelpful especially the new manager. When we said we have been 7 times here and it was the first time we have this behavior towards us, his answer was “I don’t even care we are always full”… the previous manager was a brilliant person and helpful"

"Fantastic hotel and facilities. Food was one of the best buffet style offerings we’ve ever stayed in, well cooked, presented and fresh. With a counter you can order certain dishes and wait for them to be cooked. There are different theme nights each day. The pools are all fab with kids ones available. The gym is small but well equipped with towels and water available. It is a little out of the way and not too close to towns and tavernas, but the bus stop is right outside and they do run on time - take a hint Britain. The hotel is built on a hill and is a sprawling complex, but simply ask to be driven in their electric buggys and they are there within minutes to help. If I were to gripe a little there was no decaf coffee or milk available in the rooms but I did take some milk from breakfast and store in the room fridge. We were promised entertainment every night but only had that on two nights a week, and it was the same performers each time. Also there was free drinking water at breakfast but not at dinner, this had to be purchased. The staff were professional and couldn’t do enough for us. Nikos in the restaurant was great and chatty. The young lady on the kayaks on the beach was more than helpful and funny. I wish I’d asked her name. All in all a fantastic hotel, fantastic staff, great food and really enjoyed our stay."

"A truly wonderful holiday at a great hotel Reception roomy and staff always responsive. Lovely pools with nice decking area with loungers always available, the beach is delightful with crystal clear water great for snorkeling with many fish. Get there early to get a front row seat! Nice to sit at the beach in the evening and watch the moon rise whilst watching the party boat sail. Breakfast always nice with a busy service but always tables available, the evening buffet was a very good standard and staff run brillianty by Chrysta (sorry if spelling not correct) , reasonably priced wine , Retsina a good value. Great desserts and ice cream. We used the Greek themed restaurant for lunch a couple of times , food was again very good and a relaxed and chilled location. Pool bar staff are again excellent, chilled and shaded for lunch and a great evening location to play card games etc. Lyn had my evening drinks sorted by day two one of many wonderful and polite members of staff At the sea the lifeguard who was very kind and attanetive to the sea conditions looks after the SUP Boards and Kayaks, we managed to learn how to Paddle in the time we were there which was great fun. There is a private boat charter available but the price if horrific in comparison to going into Ndiri and using them there. Nice room (37) with a great view and balcony for evening drinks. Hired a car and went to various beaches all very crowded and none as good as the beach hotel which is private. Visited a sunset bar and restaurant on west side of island and spent a few hours in Lefkada Town. Got the passenger ferry which is very cheap with great views to Meganisi. The sunset cafe in Meganisi provides tremendous views and picture options. Also had a drive to the village of Karya the drive back to the hotel over the mountain (pretty easy drive) provides a great photo opportunity towards the drive back to Ndiri A great place to relax with very good staff"
