Louis Apostolata Resort and Spa

The hotel is located on a hill in the southeast corner of the island with tremendous views out to sea. On a clear day you can see the Greek mainland. We've stayed in many 5 star hotels around the world and we would not class this one in that league. Overall, we would give it 3.5 stars. There was a severe thunderstorm one night and it poured with rain the entire day which trapped everyone in the lobby area of the hotel. The hotel wasn't built to take rain like this and it poured in everywhere, even in the lifts. It made it quite difficult getting around the hotel without getting your feet wet. This didn't deter us. We headed for the indoor spa which was surprisingly empty. We had a lovely relaxing time in and around the decent sized Jacuzzi. It has a glass ceiling which is also the floor of the reception area. So girls be aware if you're wearing a skirt and walk across this. The island is beautiful and unspoilt. We hired a car and drove all over it. The roads were challenging with many tight, steep hairpin bends. After the heavy rain there were mud slides everywhere but that didn't deter us. We recommend visiting the beautiful fishing village of Fiskardo on the northern most point of the island. Well worth the 2.5 hour drive from where we were on the opposite side of the island. We also recommend lunch at one of the restaurants on the quay in the island's capital, Argostolion where you can see large turtles swimming in the waters just in front of you.

To far from Scala. Great Hotel with great staff. Food too similar after 2 weeks. A change was needed

The hotel was very beautiful and comfortable given the budget. Slept well every night. With free parking, the convenience to travel with a rental was great. Food was OK but not bad. And the sea views are gorgeous! The bathroom could use some TLC to remove mould in the grout but nothing major.overall a great hotel and would stay there again.

The hotel is located in a nice spot and has nice views and nice spots to swim. It is not a 5 star hotel. Our room was dirty and towels weren't replaced for 3 days. The bedding was too short for the beds and I got bitten by what I assume was bed bugs every night, I booked a double room for our honeymoon but was given 2 single beds pushed together with seperate bedding. The cleaners dumped bags in front of our room every day and even left a mattress there, there was always bugs and ants crawling around the front and it never got cleaned. Lots of stray cats around which looked diseased on the back of their necks. Our shower was blocked twice and the shower didn't work twice, after complaining to the reception who were rude and talked to me like I was an idiot and didn't know how to turn on a tap. The food was better than I was expecting, after reading other reviews. Lots of options to choose from so you can just keep getting stuff till you find something that has flavour. The coffee they give you is very weak though and not worth drinking. We got massages at the day spa which weren't the worst we have had but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. View from the pool was good

Nothing else to say besides 'superb!' Sad to be home !

This is an excellent hotel. Staff are very friendly and attentive.

Staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. My friend and I had a lovely break and as we both like walking we were happy to walk into Skala. There is a complimentary shuttle to the beautiful long beach if walking isn't appealing. We didn't spend time around the pool as prefer swimming in the sea. However the pool is amazing and probably the longest I have ever seen throughout my travels. For people who don't like steps make sure you ask for a room on the reception level.

We were very much the end of season - the last week in fact - but until thelast day really felt we were part of a thriving hotel.

Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday, everything was as good as or more than shown in the brochure. Nothing was too much trouble for all hotel staff, who were friendly and helpful in every way. The restaurant food was excellent, with lots to choose from for every age & taste.

Had a great stay at this hotel. Although there are a lot of steps to contend with as it is set on a sloping site, it has a nice feel to it with rooms spread over a large area overlooking the sea. Unfortunately there was no option for just B&B when we booked, so we were on half board, but we did eat out a lot instead of taking the evening meal. Food was fine but we just needed a bit more variety. We had a hire car so it was easy enough to go further afield than just the hotel or the nearest resort. No beach to speak of at the hotel, although there is access to the sea for a swim. Evening entertainment is laid on if you want it, and there is a nice verandah to sit on and enjoy an evening drink.
