We spent a wonderful 4 nights at the hotel before moving to another part of the island. It is excellent. The staff are superb; the food is delicious, especially breakfast, and all tastes very homemade. The boat trip was really enjoyable too. Highly recommend.

John, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Truly an oasis of a resort! My favorite things were the private beach for swimming, the accessibility to walk into Fiscardo and other neighboring beaches, and the facilities with the pools! I would highly recommend. For being a resort that “has it all” you still have a ton of access to exploring around.
Anna, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Anniversary Trip - perfect

This hotel was brilliant. Best bits - Staff, Breakfast, View at Breakfast, Adults Pool area, Lunch / Dinner restaurant, access to sea. Being ultra picky would have preferred private balcony ( shared with next room - however too hot to sit out anyway ), and perhaps a larger balcony with unobstructed sea view. We will 100% go back, which should say it all.
Mike, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Dream panoramic view

View from the room and from the infinity pool was unbelievably beautiful. Comfortable and simply designed room with best shower ever! Staff were wonderful and went above and beyond to make the stay comfortable. Even provided a free Pilates class with panoramic view. (Only issue was pretentious other guests could be entitled and rude to staff!) it was the perfect place for luxury stay. Delicious breakfast with best view ever.
Sarah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A wonderful hotel in a fabulous setting. The hotel is well laid out with well kept rooms and facilities. The pool area and restaurant are great, the breakfast buffet too! In too of all this, the staff are the most helpful and friendly I’ve ever known. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in or near Fiskardo.

PHILIP, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a beautiful hotel! We had the most incredible stay at Emelisse, the food is outstanding with a lot of choice and variety and not a single dudd on the menu, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and fresh local produce, the breakfast buffet is the best I’ve had and the views from the hotel are breathtaking. Lots of activities available, we played tennis and games and went kayaking, but also would have been totally happy laying by the pool the entire time it was so relaxing. All the staff were so friendly and helpful the service is top notch, very hard to leave this place at the end of our stay! Can’t recommend enough.
Katherine Theresa, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Almost perfect hotel. Amazing pools and beaches, good entertainment such as pizza night and outdoor cinema. Comfortable rooms, but the bed is absurdly uncomfortable - extremely hard bed and springless mattress. Normally, I adapt well, but this time my husband and I felt back pain every night and it disturbed our sleep - just like the restaurant chairs (terrible!) And the height of the pizza day table! In short, the furniture doesn't match the hotel's proposal.
Marcel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Well located beautiful resort

After a shaky start involving an “upgrade” to an inferior room (declined ) we came away from a five night stay with good memories of the Emelisse. It is well laid out across a headland next to the picturesque town of Fiskardo. We had a room with shared pool access (recommended) which was spacious, clean and private. The resort has an impressive swimming pool for all guests as well as one just for adults in a separate quiet area. A small pebble beach with stunning water is a short walk away. Breakfast is excellent. The restaurant provides reasonable lunch and dinner offerings and there are many dining options at Fiskardo (accessible via shuttle at lunchtime and in the evening). Staff are lovely and service is generally very good. If you book a trip to Kefalonia, you should see this part of the island and you should stay at the Emelisse if you do.
James, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A true retreat for complete relaxation

Very relaxed, clean, luxurious, peaceful and beautifully designed hotel right on the stunning shoreline. Really a cluster of two-storey buildings sharing facilities (pools, restaurants, etc), making this feel more like exclusive condominiums. Beautiful views, lots to discover even within the hotel grounds, and an easy walk into Fiskardo. Very friendly staff, my only small wish is that information was easier to come by (we never did find out where and when we might order from the 'snack menu' in the info booklet in our room, for example). Lively with lots of families (mainly Greek) over Easter, then very, very quiet. The owners' dog greets everyone with a smile, and adds to the laid-back ambience. Beautiful food in the main restaurant, with a very helpful head waiter who remembered our special dietary needs after we mentioned it at our first meal. Incredible spread at breakfast -- all manner of breads, cakes, pastries (some still warm from the oven), local yogurt, fresh-squeezed orange juice, etc etc.

2/10 Poor

Health and safety crisis.

It was terrible we had a book for six days. We ended up only staying one night and leaving early. They do not comply with health and safety standards. When we asked for a refund they refused. Hotels.com also did not intervene which made us very unhappy. We lost thousands of pounds and we are not happy.
Feras, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

A ‘nice’ resort with a spectacular pool area. Restaurant is good, while buffet breakfast is decent but no a la cart available. Main issue with the resort is parking. If you arrive by car expect to park outside on the roadside. Checkin was the most awkward experience ever when trying to enter the main entrance getting told there is no parking and told needed to wait on the roadside for buggies to collect you and your bags to reception. Rooms are decent size but bathrooms a bit disappointing with small basins and little room for toiletries. Decor is a bit ‘meh’ but functional. Balcony and view was spectacular for our dual room family suite. Overall not a 5 star to me but about 4.5 … could be really good but let down in some simple areas, perhaps due to sale of day passes to casual visitors.
