Santa Marina Hotel ★★★

"We thought the Santa Marina was an excellent hotel. Exceptionally clean, the room was very comfortable, lovely comfy beds and nice pillows. The towels were nice too. The bathroom had recently been refurbished, but the shower still leaked and we had to put a small towel on the floor! That's not uncommon in Greek bathrooms though, in our experience! Our balcony had a nice view down to the sea and it was lovely to sit there in the evening. The breakfast was good, our only complaint was the lack of choice of fruit - watermelon (which I don't like) or tinned peaches every day. We ate at the hotel three times and the dinner buffet was excellent, good quality and a wide choice. The air conditioning in the restaurant made it very cold, we preferred to sit outside on the terrace with a lovely view. However for those who chose to eat inside there was lovely gently music playing. We found the staff all to be friendly and helpful. The only thing that slightly spoiled our holiday was that there was a family with a small child (under two) who was a screamer, we could often hear it screaming from our room, and also late afternoons by the pool the family were always there. We like peace and quiet when on holiday. We didn't go on the beach in Agios Nikitas as it was too crowded, and I felt the walk to Milos beach would be too much for me, but fortunately we had a hire car and were able to drive to other places. But I must warn people - Lefkada is a very crowded island, even in September. The roads down to the west coast beaches were always rammed with parked cars, and if you met something coming the other way it could be very tricky indeed. Lefkada is a stunningly beautiful island, and the Santa Marina is a great hotel, but if you don't like busy places probably better to choose another island."

Crystal Waters ★★★★

"The hotel is new, modern, and very clean. I would recommend having an adult-only pool, as during our stay they were all overflowing with children playing and diving. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Joanna in the breakfast room, but everyone was truly attentive and professional."

Old Boat ★

Porto Ligia ★★★

"We loved the hotel. The best location so near the sea. Beautiful views from sea view room Some road noise and could see the road from our room but that is the only negative. Rooms were kept spotless , clean towels every day and bed changed alternately Free air con, pool towels and safe Lovely helpful staff. Excellent breakfast with fantastic choice of fresh fruit and other coke buffet items. Amazing to sit on terrace watching the boats go by. We tried three local tavernas which were all very good and used hire car for 12 nights to see the rest of the island. Nidri was about 20 minutes drive away with 30 tavernas on sea front . We counted ! Loved that the sea had a lake feel in places.Swimming was brilliant all over the island. Towards the end of June things started to get busier."

Summer Bed Nydri ★★★

"FAR- THE DIRTEST place I've ever been- on the second night THEY BITTEN the friend we lost together with the KORIAN and we were running and we couldn't reach him. we left in a hurry and of course there was no mention of financial compensation. plus THEY STOLE ALL OUR SHOES 4 pairs of Nike sneakers - he also had undeclared Roma cleaning staff so that he wouldn't pay as the locals told us the sloppy owner.."

Surf Hotel ★★

"Once you get your head around the fact that the hotel is pretty basic, it's a brilliant place to be. Our room was small, had a rustic wooden, free standing wardrobe, the hangers were mismatched, the shower ran a bit hot and cold and it was generally a little tired.....but....do not let my words put you off. It also had air conditioning and a fridge and did the job. We didn't pay "plush" money and we got what we paid for. The location is fabulous. Walk out onto the promenade and turn right, you have great restaurants less than a 5 minute stumble away. Turn left and you have a 10-15 minute walk into all the action at the port and you pass numerous bars on the way. The hotel breakfast is fine and plenty of it. The bar serves food between 13:00 and 16:00. Do not miss out. The food is fantastic. I'm told it's family run and many ingredients are home produced. Whatever, very tasty for a break in the middle of the day. The staff were friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I'd recommend it as long as you have the correct expectations. I would certainly go back and may well do that."

Elisso Boutique Hotel ★★★★

"I had an excellent stay at this hotel, and it exceeded my expectations in all the ways that matter. From the moment I arrived, the management stood out as genuinely warm, attentive, and committed to making the experience smooth and enjoyable. Every interaction felt personal and thoughtful, which set the tone for the entire stay. The location is one of the hotel’s greatest strengths. It’s incredibly convenient — just a short walk to the beach and close to a variety of restaurants, making it easy to enjoy the area without needing a car for every outing. For anyone interested in wind surfing, this is an ideal spot. The conditions are consistently good, and the proximity to the water makes it effortless to get out on the board whenever the mood strikes. The pool area is beautifully maintained, offering a relaxing alternative to the beach. Whether you want to swim, sunbathe, or unwind with a book, it’s a peaceful and inviting space. Parking is available and easy, which is a major advantage in busy coastal towns where parking can often be a challenge. Inside, the hotel continues to impress. The rooms were spotless, clearly cared for with attention and pride. The air conditioning worked perfectly, keeping the space cool and comfortable even during hot afternoons. The room size was very comfortable, offering enough space to settle in without feeling cramped — ideal for both short stays and longer vacations. Overall, this hotel delivers a well-rounded, high-quality experience. It combines excellent management, a prime location, great amenities, and true comfort. Whether you’re here for beach days, wind surfing, or simply a relaxing getaway, it’s a place that gets all the essentials right and makes your stay feel effortless."
