Olea All Suite Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels

8/10 Good
"Nice hotel and we loved our room as it had its own pool with an excellent view. Breakfast in a morning was nice but they just couldn't get coffee hot, even the staff said the same, not great for a 5 star hotel. A very sterp hill up to this property and you can get the golf buggy to take you from your room to the town down the hill and phone reception to get it to come and collect you. They dont tell you this you have to find out for yourselves. Even though its a nice hotel its lacking some central bar where you can have a drink or have a chat with people. Used the Flow bar once but the staff couldn't be bothered to come back to serve us so after 10mins of waiting we got up and left. Service was hit and miss and for the money you pay i would expect better for a 5 star hotel"

"A fabulous property in the most perfect spot. A short walk into Lassi, pebbly beach and sandy beach within close proximity. There are a few stairs as the property is set out over quite a wide expanse, and is set on a hill side. Beachside rooms have the most amazing views. There are also bungalows with outdoor sunbeds to watch the sunset."

"Seriously, what can I say? Fabulous hotel with a beautiful location and amazing staff. we stayed for 10 nights in a sea view room, gorgeous view and great to sit on the balcony in the morning and evening , we had amazing breakfast every morning with wonderful, helpful staff, after 2 days they knew our coffee order without asking. All of the staff were lovely and so helpful. The reception staff , Angelika, Cassandra and Georgia were second to none. very informative and we were always greeted with a smile. There needs to be a special mention to Georgia. We discussed our day with her every evening, she gave us great recommendations for restaurants. We have left making a new friend in Kefalonia. She made everyone feel noticed. Thank you Grand Hotel , we will be back for sure ."

"A really lovely hotel, within walking distance of the beach and Skala centre. Rooms are small, but comfortable, although the AC does not get the room very cool, hence it’s hot at night. The breakfast is adequate, never changes so becomes rather boring , quality is fair. Staff are excellent and the pool area and bar for drinks and food are very good. There is no restaurant for evening meals or a guest lounge area if it rains. Overall, well worth a stay here but just lacks a few things that could make it great"
