Ionian Blue Bungalows And Spa Resort

Really enjoyed our stay, rooms were very good and comfortable, pool and beach area lovely. Food … breakfast and evening meal poor.

This is NOT a 5 star hotel. Maybe once but now it’s in need of updating. We left after 2 nights having booked for 5 . Good points-rooms large, great views, plenty of sunbeds. Bad points- virtually no air conditioning ,it’s set at 29.5 throughout the hotel and can’t be changed, food limited and of cheap quality, no starters, no choice of bread , poor choice of hot food and dessert was something bright sugary pink piped into a small ice cream wafer or melon. Nothing cooked by a chef . Hard to sit outside for your meal due to the large number of wasps. No water in room fridge even though it’s been 38deg . Fridge struggled to get cold due to hot room. No coffee or tea making facilities. Pool constantly cloudy, children’s pool dirty. Difficult to sit on your balcony on an evening ( as there is nothing else to do) as only 1 chair per double room and light too dim. No entertainment and the hotel is isolated so a car is necessary if you want to get out as it’s too far from anywhere to walk. I rarely review hotels unless really good or very bad but since you have to also pay €15 per night hotel tax for 5* hotels this hotel is not worth it .

We had our wedding in August 2024, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! The food was delicious, the staff were so professional and kind, and even when unexpected rain came through, they handled everything quickly and made sure our celebration could continue smoothly. A special thank you to Mr. Fountas for going above and beyond — we were even gifted a beautiful suite for after the party. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful venue and team!

Overall, we were very pleased with our stay at the Ionian Blue Bungalows & Spa Resort in the autumn of 2024. It is an impressive establishment, outstandingly constructed, boasting certain rare (in our times) architectural elements (e.g. bois massif, marble etc.). Its position on a slope offers views to die for, and its magnificent gardens envelop you with a sense of bliss. Most staff members were polite and affable, especially Mrs Vassiliki at the reception. We deem that there is room for improvement in the food department, but this is just a suggestion on our part. We love the Ionian islands because of their splendid nature, architecture, and culture. As they tend to be overcrowded in the summer months, we prefer visiting off-season. Leukás (or Lefkáda in modern Greek) is a paradisiacal place. Apart from the town and the beaches, make sure to visit its splendid "alpine" villages (Karyá, Eglouví etc.). We are really looking forward to revisiting this idyllic island and the Ionian Blue in the near future. Best wishes!

The location made it easy to explore Lefkada and enjoy its beaches, but also to retreat to a peaceful atmosphere at the hotel. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a blend of relaxation, luxury, and unforgettable views in Lefkada!!!!

A very pleasant surprise! Having had a delayed flight from Heathrow due to operational difficulties (hydraulic failure) and the 40 minute drive to the hotel, received a very welcoming greeting from Spiros (in was late evening). He allocated a room on the floor below reception. I couldn’t see much from the room as it was very dark that night, although I could hear the sea. The following morning woke up to a wonderful sunrise over the mountains on the mainland. So, that was a great start to the day ….. and then breakfast, hosted by the wonderful Katerina, who made it clear where everything was. Breakfast was plentiful and varied – I did try to stick to the healthy fruits and salads, but was also tempted by the hot offerings. It was great to be able to sit on the verandah and feel the peace. Buffet evening meal was available on the first night as there was a group of German tourists staying there (their last night) and provided a varied buffet style cuisine – very filling and most enjoyable. For the remaining nights, there were no more than 20 people staying in the hotel, so a short drive to Nidri offered plenty of variety of restaurants for everyone’s taste. All the housekeeping staff worked hard to keep the hotel clean and tidy and were friendly. The property/maintenance team kept the gardens well maintained etc. During the course of the stay, it was evident that some of the staff had been there for many years and this is a good reflection on the hotel. All the staff I came into contact with were very friendly and helpful including Vasiliki, Elefteria, Katerina, Vaso, Aphrodite and Thanos. Apologies if I have left anyone out. The view from the room was fabulous – every morning a spectacular sunrise and in the evening, the full moon (towards the end of the stay) lighting up the Ionian Sea. Walking down the 203 steps (not 1000 as had been reported!!!) to the broad walk was not a problem at all – the paths and steps are in very good condition and each flight has handrails. The wooden broad walk was equipped with sunbeds and parasols (if needed) and was an ideal place to sit/stand and relax, watching the world (mostly sailing boats and yachts) go by. There are also transparent lifts that follow the same route for those either unwilling or able to manage the steps. So, you can witness the view from the lifts whilst descending/ascending. The only downside was that the outer pool had been recently emptied in preparation for the closed season, but there were still sunbeds there if you wanted to admire the view from that level. The indoor pool was available in any case. In summary, the hotel was a good find, excellent staff, wonderful views from so many levels (bar, restaurant, room balcony, outdoor pool and broad walk) and ample, clean accommodation. It should be noted that Tripadvisor indicates that this hotel is 3-star according to the Giata rating, and my expectation was exceeded in this case. I hope to return again next year. Thank you.

Amazing hotel with an incredible view and beautiful beach! The staff were great, very accommodating and nice. The rooms were nice as well, and the breakfast was great. We will definitely be back next summer! Thank you Dimitri, Vasiliki and Ioanian Blue Team!!!

A very good hotel, the view is spectacular, the staff is very friendly and helping. The sea is wonderful. Inside and outside pools are large and well taken care of. Breakfast and dinner have a variety of delicious dishes. The best hotel in Lefkada.

This was a fine hotel years ago. Today the tear and wear makes it feel bad. There was mold in the bathrooms of units 603 and 604. When asked to talk to the management, the reply at reception was that they are not available. Poor guest service overall.

The AC needs to be stronger inside the rooms
