Lovely hotel in September

30 Sep 2024
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.

Our best holiday experience yet.

30 Sep 2024
The Ionian Emerald Resort has been our best hotel and holiday experience to date. Everything about this hotel was fantastic from our room, the service, the meals and the staff. It is in a stunning location with fantastic views. All of the staff were wonderful and the food was excellent. Our room and indeed all of the facilities were spotless. The location was ideal in that it was a great base to explore the main tourist destinations on the island. It is a pleasant stroll into Sami which takes you along the beach and takes about 20 mins at a very gentle pace to take in the views. If we could offer one small suggestion it would be to give preference to the facilities for the Ionian Emerald guests because they can be used by guests from the sister hotel the Athina which is across the road. There were occasions when towels were being placed on sunbeds from Athina guests 1st thing in the morning and they weren't being used until later in the day. If you are paying a premium you expect to be able to make full use of all of the facilities. We could imagine that this could be more of an issue in the busier months. That said we would recommend this hotel.

Nice hotel disappointed other hotel guest using our amenities t's using amenities.

30 Sep 2024
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.

Very nice hotel but a little isolated

30 Sep 2024
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.

Fabulous Ionian Emerald

31 Aug 2024
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.
