Kerveli Village Hotel

Geweldig hotel, prachtig uitzicht. Auto of scooter te huur bij hotel. Ook kano’s of bootjes kan je huren. Het is er fantastisch rustig. Goed ontbijt en buffet diner. Wij vonden het een echte aanrader om goed tot rust te komen. Ook schone kamers. Het personeel is bijzonder vriendelijk.

The hotel is located on a beautiful bay, at the end of September - quiet. Several multi-story buildings nicely maintained, a small swimming pool with even smaller space for sun loungers. Advantages of the hotel: 1. Beautiful views from the room (of course from those with a sea view), a wonderful bay with calm water. 2. Peace and quiet. 3. Tasty dinner, although the selection was small. Every day there was fish, some meat and vegetables. Fruits - watermelons, melons and one cake. Tasty food at the pool bar with prices not so high. Disadvantages: 1. Bathroom with a microscopic shower tray and a terrible curtain. No ventilation, not renovated for a long time. 2. Breakfast is very modest, the same every day, lots of industrial cookies. 3. Very expensive wine with dinner. 4. The space for deckchairs (garden?) neglected, without shade. The surroundings are very neglected. 5. Private beach, you have to buy something at the bar to use the sun loungers. The sales ladies are nice, unlike the owner. 6. Rocky shore, very damaged bottom, contrary to descriptions, not good for snorkeling. Some fish. 7. There is nowhere to go for walks.

The hotel is charming in a very pretty and quiet bay. Not many boats and especially no jet skis, so you can swim there in complete safety. I don't quite understand, the beach seems to be at the beach bar but all the hotel guests took deckchairs there (an arrangement with the hotel or maybe it's enough to have a drink there ). But for those sensitive to pebbles, there is also a pontoon with 8 deckchairs and 3 parasols. The rooms are large and very impeccably kept. The bedding is very correct. The hotel operates half board. The best thing about this hotel is that the cuisine is Greek or Mediterranean. The cuisine is good and relatively varied. A very good seafood risotto, a very good eggplant caviar and the chef makes very good baklavas. At lunchtime, there is a snack bar near the swimming pool. They serve very good salads, especially the octopus one. It is also possible to eat at the beach bar (very good hummus) or by going a little further to the Kerveli taverna and there is yet another restaurant that I have not tried. In Kerveli there is also a small café which serves as a mini market. Another thing, the hotel has a shuttle running several times a day to go to Samos either to visit or to a restaurant for lunch. On the other hand, when we talk about serenity, it comes at a cost, you will necessarily have to rent a car (which the hotel offers) to visit the rest of the island. They have small city cars (very practical in certain narrow streets of the villages of the island) and a Suzuki essential for going on the mountain trails of the island (which I should have rented). So I repeat, the hotel is isolated but in a very beautiful and authentic area, far from the hotel complexes that can be found on other parts of the island. Just 2 little tips: 1- Take mosquito repellent because they can spoil your stay. 2- Also take a power strip, we only had 2 sockets available in the room and between cell phones, cameras, computers or others, that was a little tight. Last but not least, the staff, like the Greeks, are welcoming and friendly. I would end with a small downside, the hotel is praised for snorkeling. As I said you can swim in the bay safely but no big fish. You have to follow the coast on the left of the bay and go to the small island located in the next bay to see some beautiful rocks cut out by the sea and have a little fun.

One of the most beautiful vacations we've had!!! A big congratulations to all the staff!!! He was always kind and smiling. Where do I start...All areas of the hotel are clean and tidy!!! We stayed in Poseidona villa which had all the amenities!! Breakfast rich and dinner excellent!!! The beach is perfect!!! The goddess is unique!!! The only negative is that we left we only stayed 10 days.. I highly recommend it!!!
