Hotels with Swimming Pool in Pilarei, Kefalonia

"We arrived on 1st May for a 3 night stay. it was the first day of the season and the hotel team were very welcoming. Our twin room was very comfortable, clean & spacious. Slightly dated having been built 20 years ago but very adequate. The breakfast was exceptional; so many choices from fruits, cereals, cooked eggs etc,, yoghurts, pies & salad & a large array of pastries, desserts & sweets. The pool area was also very lovely, plenty of space & many double loungers with clean towels every day. I worked out in the gym most days, alone, & appreciated the equipment. We hired a car so got to travel the island, had we stayed just at the hotel & local beach we may have had a different Experience. We enjoyed coming home to the hotel & pool and ate there twice during our stay. The restaurant served excellent food, fairly pricey for the portion but delicious & well presented. Our only complaint was that the housekeeping staff were very noisy chatting & laughing in loud voices when we were still trying to sleep. One night they opened up the patio door (unbeknown to us) & we were bitten to bits by mosquitoes in the night. We make a special shout out to the breakfast team & the catering manager who worked tirelessly to ensure all had a good experience. I’d be very happy to return to Thalassa resort. "

"For this price range you would be crazy not to stay here. Apostolia and her team provide an exceptional level of service and the little unexpected touches made our stay unforgettable. "

"Afroditi was an amazing host, we had such a wonderful time staying with her in Agia Effimia. We were welcomed, shown around our room and given detailed recommendations of things to do on the island. The room was beautiful, immaculately clean and had a fantastic view of the marina. Her son, Gregory also has a fantastic cafe on the front with a discount for guests staying at the Ionian suites - the food was great. We had a lovely time, and we will definitely be back. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality Afroditi!"

"Amazing views, brilliant hotel"

"Our second stay, room a little tired. The breakfast is very good, staff helpful and friendly. We loved the adults only pool. The only this that spoilt it was the penny pinching attitude to in-room drinks; charging €1 each for tea bags is beyond mean! We went out and bought our own."

"The hotel has a fantastic location overlooking the bay and mountains beyond. The facilities are excellent with large and comfortable rooms. The staff were outstanding, nothing was to much trouble - Thank you"

"A gorgeous stay! The staff were excellent and the place was immaculate. Will definitely be coming again! Would be great if they could send a welcome email earlier on and have a post-stay email too 😊 Thanks for a great stay!"

"The staff was really great. The room was clean and comfy. Food was ok but there are plenty of dining options around"
