White Rocks Hotel Kefalonia

"The White Rocks Hotel is absolutely beautiful. The grounds and scenery are magnificent. It has a wonderful and relaxed atmosphere. Our only negative (hence the' very good' rather than 'excellent' rating) was that we'd booked a bungalow and the one we were given was too far from the main building. Both my husband and I have arthritis and found it difficult to negotiate the slopes and stairs in the grounds on trying to reach the bungalow and going back and forth to the main building. The staff were excellent and so kind and helpful and 2 days after arrival managed to move us to a bungalow nearer the main building. Unfortunately, my husband had a fall coming out the pool toilets, but the staff provided excellent and immediate first aid and gave us lifts from the bungalow to the building until we were able to walk to it once we moved to the nearer bungalow. There is also a very steep slope to the pool area, but it can be negotiated with care (and is well worth it). The cleanliness was perfect throughout. The noise level was fine, nothing strident, everything peaceful. The service was outstanding. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome, appreciated and cared for. We had half-board and found the food was varied and of high quality and the atmosphere in the restaurant was extremely pleasant. The breakfast omelettes made to your taste while you wait were a definite win. We would love to return despite the 'mishaps' we had due to the steep slopes and stairs/steps on this last trip, but it would be staying at the main building next time. We would then enjoy the grounds at our leisure (and carefully!). THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF - you are all very special and made our stay a delightful experience."

"My daughter and I had an amazing week at White Rocks. I had a third floor sea view room in the main building and my daughter had a Sea view bungalow. Both were were fantastic with with great facilities and wonderful views. The staff at the hotel were so lovely and helpful. We chose half board and couldn't fault the food. We'd go back in a heartbeat. It was a truly special experience."

"Great hotel 10 minute transfer from the airport. Not the hotel for you if you have mobility issues. It’s called white rocks for a reason - it’s built into the rocks with numerous steps. Checkin - fantastic very quick and in our room within 10 mins and out on to beach just after midday Beach - public beach was fantastic with golden sands and clear blue sea. Sun beds were €20 for two. Beach bar on beach for simple snacks and drinks. Changing rooms and showers. Private beach no charge for sun beds however no beach but a rocky walk into the sea. Towels from reception so leave yours at home. Pool - didn't use it as beach person but walked up there and even at midday there were sun beds available Room - we had a sea view on second floor and it was fantastic. Cleaned every day and toiletries topped up. Safe, hairdryer, bath/shower, TV, kettle, tea, coffee and a fridge. Plenty of storage and coat hangers. 2 small bottles of water replaced every day Restaurant - breakfast was superb, plenty of choice from continental or cooked. Tea and plenty of options for coffee. Dinner was just as good with quality food and plenty of choice. Drinks were expensive and bottle of water €3. (Supermarket €3.5 for 6 bottles) The young staff members in there were a credit to the hotel. Location - 5 minute walk to Lassi with plenty of great restaurants to choose from and 3-4 supermarkets. 45 minute walk or 5 minute taxi to the capital of the island Argostoli. Sundays is very quiet and many shops are shut. Summary - great hotel, staff are fantastic and a credit to this hotel."
