It's also a perfect place for someone who is physically active and doesn't mind walking up and down as the hotel is on the cliff so steps and longer walking distances between the bungalows, beach bar and the main restaurant can't be avoided.

We first visited Kefalonia 11 yes ago and stayed in Lassi in an apartments self catering.

We stayed in one of the family bungalows and are rooms were spotless, the housekeeping was excellent.

The accommodation (we stayed in sea-view bungalows) is modern and spotlessly clean, with genuinely friendly and attentive maid service daily. The whole reception team (including the gentleman who helped with our luggage when we arrived and left!)

but the bungalow was beautiful spotlessly clean with a great view from the terrace with sun beds our maid Irena was fantastic she kept our room spotless with fresh towels and bedding every day what an angel.

We were lucky enough to stay in one of the bungalows a short distance away from the main hotel.

As well as the hotel there are bungalows to stay in.

The bungalows are much nicer than the main hotel and are all built into the rocks with sea views…

We had a bungalow again and they do not disappoint.

Long way from bungalows to end of hotel grounds if you want to walk into Lassi.

Our bungalow had a sea view, was spacious and spotlessly clean.

The hotel is quite modern and the accommodation consists of either rooms within the main block or small bungalow apartments overlooking the sea and near the swimming pool.

We stayed half board in a bungalow with a sea view.

Our room, a sea view bungalow, was fabulous.

Two staff stood out Tomas at beach bar & Anastasia in Lungomare - they are such a credit to hotel and sure they kept many guests placated!

Getting a sunbed was never an issue and the pool and beach bar have a really chilled feel.

A few shout outs I would like to mention are: 

Theo and Thomas from the beach bar.

We preferred the beach next to the one by the hotel (Makris Gialos) as has a lovely beach bar and more facilities than the one next to the hotel.

You always have staff from the beach bar that brings you your orders to the pool.

Special mention to Thomas working at the beach bar who works his socks off bringing drinks to the private beach and pool area and also the chap taking the bags to and from the guest rooms.

Enjoyed a lovely rest, superb sun beds around the pool, great private beach with access to the sea and what a setting to enjoy drinks/food at the beach bar.

Its best feature is the excellent staff from reception to the restaurant to the beach bar to the cleaners.

The little private beach is lovely, and the beach bar is very good, nice drinks and food.

I would happily give it five stars for the location, the views, hotel design, swimming pool and luxurious sun beds, the breakfast buffet, beach bar, great shower/bathroom, and the standard of the hotel bedrooms.

The swimming pool area is lovely too with the beach bar on the way down to the private beach.

For us there is no greater joy on a hot day to walk from our bungalow to the little private beach, having a crack with the beach bar staff on the way.

The beach remains secluded, private and inviting, the beach bar remains good value.

George in the beach bar was just brilliant.

This is a beautiful and clean hotel
Staff at lobby bar and beach bar were polite and friendly  on every visit, they make this hotels vibe.

Beach - small rocky beach with free sun beds and parasols - lovely breeze and fabulous beach bar for snacks/drinks/shade.

Poor selection and quality of food and drinks at the beach bar.

The only constructive criticism I have is for the dining room,pool and beach bar.

Lovely little beach bar selling drinks and lunch snacks.

Food was excellent and beach bar equally splendid.

The food lacked taste and the number of guests made the dining experience very poor, rushed with staff taking one person plate whilst the other person was still eating.

but in the afternoon if you just wanted drinks in the bar area was very poor.

I did manage with my mobility being poor and believe me it’s worth it to be in this paradise.

After reading some poor reviews we were nervous about our holiday

Lassi itself was incredibly quiet and due to the roads we only went out during the day as poor footpaths and no street lights didn't make us feel safe to walk along the road.

The main buffet restaurant was very busy and noisy and the service, in particular the clearing away of plates was very poor.

but the food & beverage experience was remarkably poor in need leadership from a professional.

We thought food was poor, trays nor re filled fast enough and  not enough choice compared to other hotels.

The food at both breakfast and dinner is poor.

It is a large resort on hillside with very poor signs for rooms.

Found her trapped in the door as her paw got stuck poor thing

but nothing we have witnessed or heard of during our total of 20 weeks’ residence can justify the hurtful assessments of the “poor” and terrible” reviews, which frankly seem prompted by a sadly increasing obsession with upgrades and refunds as a right and personal victory rather than an appropriate response to a genuine grievance. Every guest in every hotel is likely to have some personal reservations but these are minor compared with the basic facts: White Rocks has splendid accommodation in an exceptional setting, the staff (all of them!)

Before booking we looked at a few reviews which talked of poor service and staff.

but coffee very poor and was charged for coffee from machine which tasted as bad as the one served.

The service was truly abysmal, we have never encountered such poor service either in the UK or overseas.

The service in the lower bar we found very poor, I waited twenty minutes to be served and had to go to first floor bar to be served.

We chose the White Rocks Hotel after extensive research as it had all our requirements for a peaceful relaxing holiday.

So that gives a bit of a retreat vibe as well.

The island is very calm and relaxed and not too much to see/do, it is more about relaxing and enjoying the lovely scenery and views available.

Breakfast in White Room was tasty and relaxing.

but are miles better) We will definitely return after our most relaxing and enjoyable week.

Firstly, this a really relaxing place in a great location

Thanks again to all of the staff for a wonderfully relaxing holiday and special thanks to the restaurant team again!

This is a quite relaxing place set in the most beautiful grounds .

Clean, modern, comfortable hotel and such a peaceful location by the sea.

The perfect location for complete relaxation.

All the staff were professional , friendly and helpful..
We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful and relaxing holiday and will return.

Overall a very relaxing holiday 

Just to note.

Staff were very helpful, with special mention to Gerasimos, Aspasia, Jade, Sofia, Despina in the dining room, & the lovely Marina in the pool bar, which was a delightfully relaxing area to cool off with a beer!

It provided a peaceful retreat with unforgettable sea views.

It’s been a real pleasure to holiday here, a really relaxing holiday, away from the usual hustle & bustle of larger resorts.

It's a very nicely decorated, peaceful hotel, set in a genuinely beautiful location.

The rooms were clean containing a large bed with bedside tables either side, somewhere to place the suitcase.

Bed linen and towels were changed daily, and our room was spotless.

The hotel staff and all friendly and helpful, the rooms spotlessly clean and if you book a sea view room you will not be disappointed. Wow!

The hotel is kept extremely clean throughout and the rooms are cleaned every day and beds changed .

Our room was kept spotlessly clean throughout our stay.

That's being said rooms are spotless, cleaned daily and are nice and modern.

The bathroom was good with an amazing shower and the room was kept very clean by the maid with clean bath and beach towels every day.

We couldn’t believe how immaculate our room looked each day.

Everything in the room was immaculate, quite spacious very comfy bed, tea and coffee facilities and an empty fridge you can use.

The hotel & rooms are spotlessly clean throughout.

The grounds were well looked after and the rooms were spotless.

The room was very clean and beds super comfy.

We had a sea view room which was overlooking the public beach (not blocked by anything) and our room was always kept clean.

Room was kept very clean, sheets changed every day despite requesting not to.

Lovely large clean room (we were in 403) overlooking the sea and beach.

Our rooms were kept spotlessly clean by the lovely housekeeping staff, with towels and bedding changed daily if one wished.

They work so hard and the room was always very clean.

White Rocks Hotel Kefalonia

poor

beach-bar

apartment

relaxing

We did manage to have a swim in the pool and get a sun lounger early evening.It was exactly the same scenario at the beach attached to the hotel - sun loungers all reserved early.

Great hotel and staff lovely to have the beach so close by .

The beach bar and cafe is so convenient for lunch, snacks and drinks.

but eggs cold even after explaining twice

Quite dated now and certainly doesn’t feel like a 4 star

Positives are the location to a wonderful beach, beach bar good food, balconies for sea view rooms lovely

Kefalonia is a beautiful island and we were very fortunate to see turtles playing in Argostoli and one hatch from a nest on the beach and make its way down to the sea.

The bay is heavenly and the turtles were hatching the week we were there .

Lovely location and the small beach wonderful, sea clear and warm and we had fabulous weather too.

The view from the pool area overlooking the bay was brilliant and gives an uniterupted view of the specracular sunsets.

The beach below the hotel has amazing soft sand and is shallow so perfect for the kids and it’s a short walk up the hill to the tavernas.

Good air con, good pool and easy access to beach which included shower, toilets and changing cubicles.

Sun beds well if you want one on the beach 8am no later or they are all gone, round the pool our 1st week if you wasn’t with your bed your towels were removed

A special thank you to Rosie who works on the beach for taking a baby turtle struggling in the daytime out to deeper water.

The lift to the beach from room is 2/3 minutes.

A pleasant beach right next to the hotel with crystal clear water.

Big shout out to the guys on reception, breakfast, Anna and Maria from housekeeping and the lovely lady on the beach looking after the sun beds.

Food terible very old tooms staf control like KGB Not god for kidss Beach not ok sea very coold and not enaf  clean We never come again.

* The sandy beach is one of the best on the island with calm clear water, fish and it gently slopes into the sea.

Staff are always friendly and helpful, the food is lovely and it is in a perfect location right by the beach and plenty of bars and restaurants.

The beach loungers were 7 euros for two although these were popular and often not available after 9 am

Cons:

* Rooms are a little tired with very poor sound proofing.

but the general sound proofing of the rooms is poor quality!

Now the downside;
The food was poor - school dinners at best.

The food really was poor no traditional greek meals all just very bland and standard so we ate out locally for the rest of the week which was much better.

(I’m sorry)

The only time we ate an evening meal was on the first day, the food, clearly been under heat lamps for a long time was of a poor standard, with some of the items being served at breakfast the next day.

Desserts are poor with the same offering every night.

though the quality was still as poor and bland.

The card machine in the beach side restaurant is a dinosaur and I think the poor woman cashier's patience was tried every time she had to operate it.

The only major criticism of the hotel bedrooms as others have stated are the poor curtains and some early morning noise.

The not so good things:  the air conditioning was quite poor  ,  .

When we spoke to reception we were informed it was the phone lines and the bush fires which we found a poor excuse.

but the poor wifi makes it almost impossible to do anything but check the odd email.

Breakfasts are excellent with a huge range from hot to cold and rotation every day. The pool area is a delight and we spent many hours in it and around it lazing away the hours (with a little bit of people watching) - the inflatables policeman made us smile every day when he politely asked folk to take their blow up monsters out of the main pool (the bays are so tranquil that inflatables in the sea pose little or no danger) and the poor chaps 'selected' to be the towel police (no reserving at 6am and clearing off for the morning here!)

but I suppose these days as it is an older hotel then soundproofing is poor and carpets have been put in to help reduce floor noise.

Bathroom was cramped with basic over bath shower and room carpet was in a poor state.

There were lots of bars and restaurants to eat in near to the hotel.

the pool was enjoyable nice and clean with plenty of sun loungers..the food was really nice and a great for vegetarians.friendly staff nothing was too much trouble..

We were bed and breakfast so did not have an evening meal in the hotel.

The food was very good with lots of choice.

Food and drink is reasonably priced at the pool bar.

We ate out every evening, as we were on room and breakfast basis.

Hotel is close to all the restaurants and half an hours slow stroll into Argostoli on the main road  or 8 euros in a taxi or 2 euros each on the bus 
We plan on returning next year.

Big shout out to Lambros and Alexandra in the restaurant, attentive, always a welcoming with a cheery smile .

From the front desk, the restaurant and cleaning staff, all show real care and friendliness.

We were always greeted with smiles upon entering the restaurant.

We did raise this with the hotel and asked to swap to a lunchtime meal at the beach cafe.

Food : very good with plenty of selection for meat lovers and vegetarians.

If you’re looking for a place to relax without having to go too far for evening meals, this hotel is perfect.

Taxi to Argostoli between 7-9 euros, local bars and restaurants a few minutes walk.

Unclean room on arrival, it was cleaned after request 

Rooms no sound insulation so can hear literally everything 

Breakfast started well

The hotel, communal areas and rooms are spotlessly clean as always and the service across all areas Excellent.

The room was spotless and the view was incredible.

Room was spotless with tv (a few English channels) fridge,safe and air conditioned.

but spotless and the rooms are cleaned each day .

Room very clean lots of hanging and drawer space.

The rooms were clean and had a lot of character, beds and linens very clean and comfortable.

Rooms kept very clean, staff helpful and friendly on reception and in bar/restaurant.

Room was clean with the loveliest maids always checking if we had everything we need.

Good location, clean rooms, nice pool area, clean well managed beach, pleasant bar, very friendly staff.

Lovely clean room, excellent staff throughout, great pool area and beach and the food we ate there for lunch was excellent.

A very enjoyable and memorable stay.The room was very clean with an excellent view of the bay and a sunset that casts a red glow over the sea.The food very good with a wide choice of dishes with ingredients, I was told, locally sourced if possible.It  was a great opportunity to sample Greek cuisine which was usually delicious.

Rooms are very clean with cleaning staff really helpful, particularly with things like fresh beach towels.

Rooms clean and ice cold air conditioning ,fridge tv ,tea making facilities.

Hotel is spotless rooms cleaned every day.

but well maintained, cleaners keep the rooms spotless and always speak to you.

Room was clean and I found the bed very comfortable as were the pillows.

We enjoyed the food at breakfast and dinner and it was so lovely to sit outside to eat in the mornings The views from the hotel are superb and it’s set in the most stunning position in a sheltered bay with comfortable loungers around the pool and direct access to a lovely little beach.

our room was very nice facing the pool and sea.

My parents stayed in room 420 and we were all extremely happy with the cleanliness and views out to the ocean.

The inland view rooms have a pleasant outlook

I emailed hotel asking for an uninterrupted view and we had an amazing sea view so thank you for that. .

Sunbeds & brolley €7 if in hotel with their towels (free) Seaview room with fridge safe air con all free.

Enjoying breakfast on the terrace with my family, overlooking the sea was the highlight of every day.

but it’s spotlessly clean, the beds are so comfy, the beach is beautiful with lovely warm sea and the staff are the nicest friendliest people ever.

Definitely take a room with sea view which is worth every penny.

The pool/beach bar was cheaper than most close by, and the sea was calm enough to enjoy .

We opted for a mountain view room which was ideal as we popped back for lunch on the balcony some days as it was shaded by then.

but it’s perfectly fine and we were very happy with our room and service, we paid for a sea view and it was well worth the money.

We paid for a garden room with the intention of upgrading to a sea view room,

What a shame because reception staff are lovely, pool is great, and it is fabulous to have a sea view.

Mediteranee Hotel

restaurant

beach

view

It was near several beautiful beaches and very close to the airport.

but is still fairly close to Argostoli and only 10 minutes from the airport.

Pros:

Good location and close to the airport.

We have just returned from a 2 week stay at the Avithos Resort, such a lovely resort, the staff were wonderful, would definitely go back again, really near the airport so nice easy transfer.

but added on 3 nights before flying home, and picked Avithos on the strength of their website, previous reviews and proximity to the airport.

It’s a short transfer from the airport, supermarket short walk and beach and excellent tavernas 10 mins away.

A short transfer from the airport yet remote enough so you can appreciate the tranquil beauty of Kefalonia.

10 minutes max from airport so quick transfer, nice change.

Only a 10 minute taxi to the hotel from the airport, which was €20.

Very well located only about 15 minutes drive from the airport.

Location is good provided you have a car ( we found car hire very cheap and got one at the airport for a week for less than £100).

but get the airport transfer and get the car delivered to the hotel.

The airport is just 5 minutes drive distance

Short drive from the airport and 5 minutes from a fantastic restaurant too.

We had a very relaxing week,  the hotel is in a quiet area., and 10minutes from the airport.

Avithos is only 10 mins from the airport, which again was fab as didn’t have to travel far with the kids.

The journey from the airport is all of 10 minutes, very handy

Once again driven directly to the Airport.

We’ve definitely found our ‘go to’ destination – the island, and the hotel which is 5-10 minutes from the airport.

The Sandy Avithos beach is a fifteen minute walk away and the beach bar and excellent Preview restaurant make it the ideal destination to spend the day and night.

The nearest beach "Avithos Beach" is only a 15 minutes walk away and is one of the nicest beach of the island with a beach bar and two restaurants.

Cova beach bar is run by Chris who is just a total dude and it's loads of fun to drink cocktails and look at the amazing beach.

Recommend Orange Grove, Preview Taverna & Cova Beach Bar was a personal favourite.

but Avithos beach (10-15 minute walk) is a gorgeous stretch of golden sand with a beach bar, sun beds (€10), crystal clear water and views of Zakinthos.

but the other beach I could get to and there were two lovely restaurants, and a great beach bar too.

but to come back go to the beach bar they will phone the hotel and take you back free, rooms were cleaned every day staff were so helpful, meals in the restaurant and bar pool were excellant.

Sun beds x2 with umbrella 10e and a cool beach bar which plays chilled out music all day.

but good restaurants nearby and the hotel offers a free taxi down to Avithos beach where there is a lovely beach bar and two restaurants.

3 beaches in walking distance , avithos was the best with 2 great tavernas , and a beach bar with a view onto Zakinthos / zante .

but really relaxed and friendly beach bar.
