Loved my stay there! Great location (easy to explore the island, restaurants in walking distance), friendly staff, nice vibe. Mostly seniors and young families, so the atmosphere is very calm. Hotel bar was nice too! Absolutely recommended stay on Kefalonia

3 suggestions to make it even better in the future: 1) Installation of doors or thick curtains between the bedroom and the room's foyer as to reduce the noise coming from the hallway, 2) a bottle of water in the room after arrival, 3) a moscito net with magnetic open/close mechanism to the balcony (although this might wear out too quickly in a hotel, not sure)

very friendly family run hotel directly on the beach Staff very attentive and always happy to help.. Our room.was on first floor, upgraded free of charge and looked as if everything was new. Comfortable bed and a small balcony.The outlook over the mountains was beautiful and very peaceful. Swimming pool kept very clean. Excellent wide choice breakfast. Transfer to and from the airport in the hotels own private car was perfect and can be prebooked for €60 each way.

The hotel is about 20min walk along the beach path from Sami Port, or 10min walk from Karavamilos in the opposite direction. There is no food at the hotel after 4.30pm although we were told an occasional barbecue is held during the High Summer months. Most of the evening eating therefore would need to be in Sami , or at one of the 2 tavernas or Bakery and Coffee shop in KaravomilosThe hotel can provide a service to take you or collect from Sami at €10. There is no entertainment generally in the area. There is a very limited bus service from Karavamilos to Argostoli one in a morning at 7.30, and one back after lunch which gives you about 4 hours to explore. Other than that you really need a hire car to see the Island.

The location is the best thing about this hotel, the setting is beautiful! I'm so glad I booked here and not booked to stay in Sami itself as it was peaceful and less busy here. The staff are so friendly and helpful, they really make you feel at home. The rooms are huge and clean, have everything you need. There are shutters on the patio door which when fully closed block out all light so your not woken early by the sun, bliss! Plenty of car parking and the pool bar has a good choice of drinks & food. Would highly recommend this place.

Breakfast was nice but lots of sweet bits, fine for a 3 star hotel. I used the microwave to make porridge which was great. TV in the room only had 1 English channel (bbc world news). No apps on TV. Noise between rooms not great, the housekeeping staff start early and are very noisy. Bring ear plugs!

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The Hotel and grounds including pool area and terrace are kept immaculately and inside looks and feels freshly painted everywhere. It is very clean, the rooms fresh, bright and modern feeling and a good comfortable size. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice and we looked forward to it and enjoyed it every day. The Hotel, pool area and bar has a beautiful outlook right on the beach overlooking the bay. It is very peaceful. The pool area was never crowded and always felt spacious, with more than enough sunbeds, furniture etc for everyone. The team there are all absolutely lovely, welcoming, and couldn't be more accommodating. Melissani Lake is a 10-15 minute walk, mostly along the shore. Sami is about 10 - 15 mins stroll in the opposite direction, and has everything you need, including a good selection of seafront restaurants. We hired a car from Sami for a couple of days so we could visit Assos, Myrtos, and Antisamos beach, and we took a boat trip to Ithaca which was stunning. Overall, a wonderful family holiday, we hope to come again! Thank you all at Sami Beach Hotel we hope to see you again Xx

We stayed at this hotel 20 years ago and totally enjoyed it. Now 20 years later our stay was better than. The staff and Dorizas family make every guest feel like family. Remodel is beautiful, breakfast excellent. Beach and pool very relaxing. Our only regret is that we only stayed 2 nights. Hopefully we will go back to Kefalonia and our stay will be longer. Can't say enough about this hotel. If you ever go to Kefalonia you must stay here. Great location on the island. Thank you Dorizas family. Brandt family for USA will be back. Sas efcharisto gia ola

Liked everything

The Garden suite where I stayed was lovely - very well equipped & comfortable with loads of space & a nice out door space with table & chairs & loungers. The staff were all very friendly, helpful & spoke excellent English. There was a great atmosphere throughout the whole resort which punches well above its 3 star rating. The breakfast was nice with plenty of choice & the grounds very well kept. We loved having the beach on the resort as well as the large pool. We stayed in early September so there were no children staying and it was quiet despite the hotel being full.

My friend staying in one of the mountain rooms at the back of the hotel did find the noise of a generator rather annoying at night time. It wouldn't put her off staying again but she would choose a sea facing or left hand side room another time.

A beautiful & lovely hotel, located just in the most wonderful place in Sámi, and in my opinion, in all of Cephalonia. As soon as we arrived, we were filled with it's positive energies, which impart tranquility and calmness. I want to praise the staff and management, all of them! from the first to the last... I don't have enough words to describe the warmth and caring attitude each one of them shows towards the guests, At any given moment. It feels like everyone's desire is to provide you with the best, and it really shows how important it is to them that your stay at the hotel is as comfortable, peaceful, and enjoyable as possible. It's touching how their service and warm smile can make your day more beautiful, )as if the area is not beautiful enough...) I have no doubt that this is the hotel that has left the biggest impression on me, and made me want to return and stay again as soon as possible.

We loved everithing.

This is a beautiful hotel. The grounds and facilities are well cared for, the rooms very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was plentiful and varied . The pool is large and lots and lots of sunbeds. It has a tennis court, ping pong, yoga etc. it’s also on the sea and has the most amazing views. However the thing that truly makes this hotel exceptional is the staff. All wonderful, kind, gentle, thoughtful and caring. I would go back in a heartbeat

I loved everything

Good value - we just overnighted before a ferry to Ithaca. A little too far outside of Sami for noonday strolls, but managed an early run of the entire seafront. Good local facilities (restaurants etc.) walkable from hotel, anyway. The hotel staff were absolutely excellent and couldn't have been more friendly + helpful. Pool and tennis court very welcome. Nice inclusive breakfast. Turn left for five mins beyond Karavomilos Lake for nice beaches with shady eucalytpus trees and find swimming. We also walked to do the Mellisandi Cave tour - excellent, but strike out early to avoid the worst of the coach trippers (we were there just before 11:00 and queue was maybe 45min, but when we exited, the queues were huuuuge.

May potable water fountain for guests?

We were really happy with our choice of the Sami Beach Hotel. Lovely family run place, always friendly, always smiling and made us feel incredibly welcome. Good breakfast selection, beachfront location. A pebbly beach but suited us as not a fan of sand everywhere. Good walking distance from Sami harbour and town with plenty restaurants. Good for boat excursions departing from Sami harbour. We visited Ithaca. 15mins drive from gorgeous Antisamos beach where we spent a couple days sunbathing and snorkelling.
