Exceptional property. Loved it and would return without doubt. Staff were incredible, especially Costas who my kids adore!
Claire, 5-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.

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.

Nicholas, 5-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

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.

Superb location, hotel, service & facilities. Absolutely stunning resort - 10 minute walk to beautiful Fiscardo marina which is beautiful and so clean.. Emelusse also offer a speed boat experience fir guests to share - simply amazing 5 x cove stops for a swim and lunch on a nearby island really made our holiday … just loved it

Glenn, 12-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

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

Beautiful property with multiple pools. Gorgeous views. Lives the fancy boat trip to neighboring islands and highly recommend it. Easy parking. Had to ask for coffee pods daily rather than getting refills. Also requested oat milk, which had to be delivered or i would pick up from reception area. Fitness center not open until 8. King beds only.
darissa, 3-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

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.
