Family-friendly Hotels in Livathou

We arrived in the dark and initial thoughts were, this doesn't feel like a 4 star establishment, especially when we had to make our own way to the room - thankful to the torch on the phone. Initial thoughts on the room, somewhat disappointed compared to our usual stays - beds very firm, pillows (no pillow menu here!) hard, room spacious and bathroom clean but not inspiring or with any additional items other than soap. We went half-board, thought the price differential wasn't that much, but the evening meal, very average. In the end we went out most evenings as there are plenty of really nice local establishments, most within walking distance although we got taxis home. Breakfast, we stayed 10 nights, again, average in my view and what was very annoying was the regular lack of English breakfast tea. The staff, have to say they were friendly and very helpful and the rooms were kept well cleaned. Drink prices, reasonable although we went out a lot and there were 2 supermarkets very close by for room provisions. We had to pay local tax in cash when we arrived, no problem with that but very surprised as many others have said on departure, you are required to clear your room by 11am and many flights leave much later than that. If you want a shower, then that's 10 Euros each, otherwise get changed in the toilet. Also, one change of beach towel per week each or another 2 Euros for a change. Just felt cheap to us, not found that anywhere else in the world where we have stayed. Overall we really enjoyed the holiday, with most of the time away from the hotel, probably used the pool 3 times, it was good but not exactly exciting and for some, the deep end was nearly 6 foot - fine for me but others found it a struggle. Svoronata itself, a nice place to stay although quite quiet. Plenty of restaurants and great sunsets with more sandy beaches than the rest of the island. We are very likely to return to the island in the future, but we wouldn't be coming back to Astra village.

I stayed at Leivatho for my friend's wedding who got married elsewhere in Kefalonia as it offered better bang for your buck than some of the rival accommodation. The hotel has a large-ish pool, sauna and decent gym. But that's it in terms of facilities. It has a breakfast buffet every morning with hot and cold choices and fresh fruit, but not a real wide variety if being nitpicky. Lunch and dinner are available at an extra cost but not too expensive. Just beware of bees outside that will swarm your food... But the staff light coffee beans which acts as a deterrent! I can't remember the waitress's name who served all the guests pretty much by herself as she worked really hard. The staff at the front desk were also kind, friendly and helpful! The rooms are HUGE and spacious with Aircon to deal with the infamous Greek heat. They were so comfortable like being at home. The rooms were also cleaned immediately and spotless each day. There was also generous bathroom soaps and shampoos. The shower was also the best I've ever used! (Although I'll never get over Greece's rules on flushing toilet paper!) The hotel has great value for a four star. Some of my friends staying at the Astra village had ants in their rooms and paid more than I did. Be aware the location is isolated from civilization so if you want to go to Argostoli where all the main bars, restaurants and attractions are, unless you hire a car, you have to take a taxi which was 25-30 euros each way and became quite costly. But overall I'd recommend.
