Kefalos Beach Tourist Village

Really nice beachside hotel! Staff are really nice and brilliant facilities! Lots of weddings all the time which brings a nice atmosphere to the hotel and poolside! Entertainment staff are a great laugh too!

Location on the beach front and close to nearby restaurants. Entertainment staff really good.

The rooms were very dated and old fashioned, food was very basic and on all inclusive you had to pay for sandwiches at the pool bar .

Position near the beach, apartment big enough

There is a kitchen with dishes, but if you want to cook or clean the dishes, you must buy everything.

We got married at Kefalos on Saturday 27th September 2025. From start to finish Elena and Marianna made the whole process from booking to the day so easy and nothing was a problem. We cannot fault anything. The location, setting, food and entertainment was unbelievable and we couldn’t have asked for better. All of our guests have commented what a great day it was and really complimented the food. We were married on the beach and then had our reception on the Devine terrace which was so pretty and the sunset photos were unreal. I would not hesitate to recommend other couples to get booked up and promise you won’t regret it 💒🥰

I honestly don’t understand how this hotel has received so many good reviews. This is not a 4-star resort — more like a wedding-and-party venue where paying guests come second. Room & Check-In We booked a “garden view” room, which turned out to mean one olive tree and one lime tree directly in front of the balcony — plus a full view of all the surrounding balconies. No actual garden, no privacy. The check-in itself was friendly enough, but the directions were confusing, and we ended up relying on cleaning staff to find the room. Noise & Weddings From the very first night, our stay was dominated by weddings. The music was so loud it was impossible to relax in the room, even with doors and windows closed. We had been awake since 2am for travel, but when we asked reception what time the music would end, the response was: “11pm is law. Well, it is a wedding.” We were shocked at the lack of consideration for paying guests. Here’s how the week went: Day 1: Wedding until 11pm. Day 2: Wedding until 11pm. Day 3: Wedding until 11pm. Day 4: Wedding until 11pm. Day 5: (Sunday, no weddings allowed by law) – finally, peace. Day 6: Stag party screaming, chanting, banging doors until 1am. Reception only acted after I complained. Day 7: Another wedding and competing loud bar music. We came on holiday to rest, not to be unwilling guests at multiple wedding parties. Pool & Atmosphere Sunbeds by the pool are “reserved” as early as the night before, so unless you play that game, you’ll never get a spot. The pool atmosphere was chaotic: large groups from wedding parties drinking heavily, shouting, swearing, pushing each other into the pool, and even dancing with cigarettes in hand. Think “Benidorm” rather than a 4-star resort. The quieter grass sunbeds were better, but unfortunately right next to a public promenade — not ideal if you want to relax without worrying about your belongings. By day three, we started renting a car just to escape the hotel during the day. In the evenings, we often went back out until at least 11pm because of the relentless noise. Rooms & Cleanliness The rooms are very basic and in need of updating. The sofa had stains, the towels were marked, and the beds were uncomfortable. Kitchen equipment was outdated, and basic amenities like flannels were missing. Instead, guests are left with makeup-stained towels. There was also an ant infestation downstairs by our room which meant ants were crawling into the room, nothing was done to get rid of this clear ants nest. Positives The gardeners deserve recognition. They work incredibly hard to keep the grounds, plants, and communal areas looking beautiful. Unfortunately, this was one of the few highlights. Final Thoughts This is not a peaceful holiday hotel — it’s a wedding and party venue where guest comfort is clearly secondary. Management only responds to complaints when pushed, and solutions offered (like moving rooms on the one day weddings aren’t allowed) feel disingenuous. It’s worth noting that Jet2 don’t even sell this hotel — and I can see why.

Room was cleaned everyday. Staff were excellent could not fault any of them. Didn’t sit by the pool as there were sun beds by the beach. Only negative is the games room. Pool cues need updating.

Right on the beach, and on a lovely beach walk, close to restaurants, and city center. Decent pool. Wonderful staff.

Quality of the food and beverages (lots of canned or packaged or bottled items, not much fresh or high quality. This hotel offers an all inclusive package, which is I think the reason for the quality. There were a lot of people at the hotel making the pool, bar and restaurant quite congested. Shoulder season.
