Ionian Emerald Resort

Great hotel, friendly staff, close to the main town, sea and port. We booked this hotel as we were going to Ithaca, and wanted to stay close to the port for our ferry. The hotel is easy to find, has a nice pool/bar area and is close to the sea. Also, around a 10 min walk to many local restaurants, cafes and bars, 2 min walk to the seafront. Staff were very friendly, rooms were spacious, beds comfortable, and good to have a balcony for the pool/sea views. Thanks!

Stayed here for 5 nights in July with family. Beautiful , well kept hotel. Clean, super friendly staff. Pool and pool bar are great. Central Location of hotel in Sami/karamolyvos is close to almost everything on the island. Grounds and rooms are meticulously maintained. Didn't get a chance to eat dinner in the hotel as we were always out, but the breakfast and pool menu were really good. Highly recommended

Lovely modern and clean room. Towels were changed daily to my surprise and beds made. The pool was great, plenty of beds around although I did go at the end of August so perhaps less busy than at it’s peak. Kid friendly. The bar by the pool was great and had good food options. The Cocktails 🍹 were delicious. Very happy with the buffet breakfast, had a variety of milk to choose from, lots of hot and cold options, fresh fruits and nuts, cereals and even the odd cake. Was a 20 minute walk along the beach front to get to Sami, which was pleasant. There is a mini mart opposite. Walkable to Lake Melissani, about 10-15 mins. For this side of the island it’s a convenient hotel for sure. Hotel reception were lovely. Was about 45 mins to/from the airport via taxi and cost €60.

Our 2nd time at Ionian Emerald. Love the location, from here you can easily take daytrips to beaches, other villages or rent a boat. And take a short walk along the coast to Sami. The staff are friendly, fast and always smiling. Perfect rooms and excellent food. Try the lobster pasta! And the orange cake! We will come back next year :)

We stayed for a few days and we loved the place. Our sea view room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Delicious food by the pool and at the main restaurant The manager Helena and the staff were so frriendly and extremely helpful. Beautiful location - 10 min walk into Sami where there is plenty of choice of places to eat and drink.
