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."

Oasis Hotel ★★★

"Oasis hotel is in a great spot near to Nydri, 5 minutes from the beach , and a supermarket.Absolutely stunning views!Small family run hotel, Nothing was too much trouble for George, a great help so many times.Clean rooms & hotel was to a high standard.Pool was nice & clean, plenty of outdoor furniture.I will definitely return here , and would strongly recommend others too also."

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.."

Oscar Hotel Lefkada ★★

"A warm friendly welcome from check in to unfortunately having to go home. Beautiful location overlooking the marina and a short walk to the center of Nidri. Room was very spacious and well maintained the aircon being a bonus as it was baking hot during our stay. We stayed in a room for 4 people with our balcony overlooking the pool, bar and beautiful views over the marina. The hotel has a lovely pool area and a very well stocked pool bar. You can also enjoy your drinks on the beach across the road which was lovely in the evening watching the moon rise over the bay. A fantastic 2 weeks spent in a great super value for money hotel with a lovely friendly Greek family as your hosts. Would highly recommend a stay at Hotel Oscar"

Rouda Bay Beach Hotel ★★★

"There wasn't sponge and liquid detergent in kitchen to wash the dishes. The kitchen shelves were full with dust. The location is pretty far from the rest of the island. The beach is pebbled and too crowded. The location doesn't offer much to do, actually it's not a village...there is some tavernas, but they also were crowded and if you don't make reservation you can't find a place to eat."

Townhouse Lefkada ★★★★

"The hotel is new, the front desk staff are polite and welcoming, and check-in is quick and easy. The rooms are exceptionally clean, and the amenities are new and of good quality. The kitchen is fully equipped. It's tidy and hygienic, and the bathroom has no unpleasant odors. The location is excellent, with its own parking. It's a few minutes' walk to the city center, and there are many restaurants, bakeries, and cafes nearby. It offers great value for money and is highly recommended."

Thealos Village Aparthotel Lefkada ★★★

"An absolutely outstanding stay! In our opinion, this hotel deserves more than 4 stars. It is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The view is simply breathtaking, and having the swimming pool right in front of our room made the experience even more special. The apartment was equipped with absolutely everything we could have needed. There was a washing machine just outside our room, with laundry detergent provided free of charge. In the kitchen, we were welcomed with a brand-new sealed sponge, paper towels, and all the essentials. There was also an ironing board and iron, showing just how much attention has been given to every little detail. The cleanliness was impeccable. The apartment was cleaned every day, towels were changed every two days, and the bed linen was replaced once during our stay. Separate towels were also provided for the pool. The pool was automatically cleaned every night and checked daily by a staff member, so it was always spotless. There is also a children's pool and a playground, making it a perfect choice for families. Each apartment has its own spacious, covered parking space, so no matter what time you return, your parking spot is always waiting for you. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, and all of our neighbors were respectful and quiet throughout our stay. The location is excellent—only about 10 minutes from Lefkada Town, around 20 minutes from the port of Nidri, and the island's stunning beaches are just 10 to 50 minutes away, depending on which one you choose. We wholeheartedly recommend this place. Everything exceeded our expectations, and the attention to detail and exceptional service truly impressed us. We will definitely be coming back!"

Ponti Beach Hotel ★★

"We didn't have a particularly positive experience staying at this hotel or in the resort in general. I would personally go as far as to say you might want to consider staying in Sivota or Nidri if you are heading to Lefkada and you're British, as the resorts are "much" more friendly and welcoming. Pros and cons provided below. CONS 1. We both found what was either the general manager or owner, to be rude and unwelcoming. Respectfully, we can only describe her as a lady in her later years and have only done so to ensure the criticism is directed at the right person. Definitely one of the most unfriendly and unwelcoming staff members we've ever encountered in any accommodation we've stayed in, and we've travelled extensively. She wasn't even polite when we checked out, so we'll happily take our business elsewhere! 2. Younger staff were mostly friendly, but not very attentive. Tables in the bar / restaurant area were frequently left uncleared in the evenings, even when the bar was empty and we were the only ones there. 3. Chemicals used to clean the floors in the hotel public areas absolutely stink and nearly made us sick on multiple occasions. I'm not joking. Whatever they are using is sickly. 4. Room cleaning service needs serious attention. Initially, the room did look very clean. However, once you get down on the floor and look under the bed and sofas, you'll realise that's far from the case and some areas don't appear to be getting cleaned properly or at all. I took photos and video for reference, but hope this written feedback will be enough for the hotel to take action. 5. As mentioned below in 'pros, we had one of the newer rooms and it featured the biggest balcony we've ever seen in any hotel. Whilst it did provide a great photo opportunity with the beach in the background, it was generally a huge wasted opportunity. The only furniture on the balcony was a table with some upright chairs just outside of the room. No sun loungers to allow you to utilise the space in any positive way. 6. Breakfast - None of the food was covered up to protect from flies and other insects. PROS 1. We had one of the newer rooms, and the balcony area was absolutely gigantic, with stunning views out over Vasiliki beach. This really is impressive! Unfortunately, the huge balcony is also a negative for the reasons stated above in 'cons'. 2. Bedrooms are modern and spacious with huge comfortable sofas, beds, and even a fridge. 3. Bathroom was modern, clean, and featured an amazing shower with great water pressure. 4. Breakfast was fine in terms of selection overall. 5. Swimming pool and surrounding area looked really nice with ultra modern sun loungers and a fantastic view of the beach beyond - we didn't get to use this as we were out exploring everyday, so can't comment on cleanliness as we only ever viewed it from the bar and car park above. 6. Ample on-site parking - those with health issues may want to check if there is space in the car park just "
