| Hi In October 2006 my family and i are going to be in the White rocks or the Medtierranee in Lassi or the Kefalonia Palace in Lixouri on a half board basis. Please can anyone confirm we have the option to upgrade to all inclusive in any of these hotels? I have heard yes you can by word of mouth only.THANKYOU to whoever is kind enough to answer. Is car hire ok & cars safe (road worthy)???!!!??? Thanks again Howard. | |

| I am 11 years old. I have just got back from Kefalonia palace hotel, and the food is exellent. The pool is really big and my brother and I really enjoyed playing in it, and the best thing about it is the sea is just 5 minutes down the road.
The people who work in the hotel speak good english and are very kind and helpful. | ||||||||||

| Stayed at the hotel in August had the most wonderful holiday there. Hotel very clean and very roomy even for four of us children had bunk beds, rooms spotless, cleaned every day. Food good kids especially enjoyed the ice cream bar. Entertainment team excellent seemed to work 24 hrs a day. Pool beautiful pool area very uneven and could be dangerous in places, but there are notices all around to warn you. Staff in hotel very helpful. Xi beach is less than a 5 minuate walk and there are sunbeds you can hire at 2 euros per bed and umbrealla a day, watersports, taverans and a shop, sea is very safe for children and the clay cliffs are good fun. Lixouri is a Taxi ride away around 7 euors each way. Do not leave your towels on sun beds as the pool cleaner will move them. Had the most wonderful rep Jeni (Thomson) very informative only one problem booked to go on the glass bottom boat trip was cancelled twice due to rough seas!!!! Jeni was at the hotel every day except Sundays and did the Monday night quiz by the pool until very late. A lovely hotel would recommend it and hopefully will revisit again | ||||||||||

| Just returned from 2 weeks. Had a wonderful time. Hotel clean, food very good, bar service in main bar very good a little slow around the pool area. Must mention Happy Hour in main bar 6pm - 7 pm drinks half price. Entertainment by Noel, Isabella and Jack very good and for all ages. Beach beautiful and very safe for children, many watersports on beach. To hire beach umbrella and 2 sunbeds 6 euros, did think it should be free for hotel residentants. Hire a car a must, Lixouri comes alive a night well gets buiser. Try the pizza restuarant on the square food brilliant. Hotel rooms very clean and enough room for 2 adults and 2 children, we had a terrace area which was lovely with two sun beds. Only grumble is there are not enough sunbeds by the pool area could use grass area to increase, do not put towels on to reserve as the pool guy will remove them. Travelled with Thomson Excellent, Jenni the rep was excellent as well. Would definately go again. | ||||||||||

| We have been back home a week now and we are all still missing Kefalonia. This was our first visit to Greece with our two girls, aged 6 and 3 and we have had the best holiday ever. We can not praise the hotel and the staff enough. It is a great place for a relaxing, away from it all holiday but there is enough to keep everyone occupied if they want to be a bit more energetic. The entertainment team work what seems like a 24hr day!! We hired a car and explored as much of the island as we could. Everywhere was wonderful especially Sami, Myrtos beach and Poros. I don't think we have ever been to a hotel and felt so strongly that we would like to return. I have spent a lot of time looking in to returning for a late autumn holiday already!!! | ||||||||||

| Just spent 2 weeks at Kefalonia Palace Hotel - first time in half board acc. usually do self catering - wouldn't want to go back to that in a hurry after staying here. Rooms are ample for family of 4 in a bunk bedded room and kept extremely clean. Restaurant food is excellent and varied. Entertainment team of Isabella, Noel and guy from Croatia (didn't catch his name) did a pretty good job getting kids and adults alike joining in with the activities day and night around the pool bar. Enjoyed the aqua aerobics myself. Ashley is worth a mention for keeping the kids entertained in the evenings so the parents could get a quiet drink in. All round relaxing holiday, hassle free - wouldn't normally go same place twice but hard to beat this holiday. | ||||||||||

| Just got back from 2 weeks at the Kefalonia Palace Hotel. First time in a hotel as a family as we usually go self catering. Would have to say any other place I stay in future will have a lot to live up to. Entertainment team - Isabella, Noel and guy from Croatia (didn't tell us his name) did a pretty good job organising both the kids and adults for all sorts of games day and night. Particularly enjoyed the aqua aerobics myself. Ashley (night time kids club) also does a very good job looking after all those rowdy kids whilst Mum & Dad slope off for a quiet drink - well needed. Food was excellent - wide variety catered for. Rooms kept extremely clean and spacious enough for a family of four. Don't usually like to return to the same place twice but would definitely consider this place again. | ||||||||||

| Myself and my boyfriend got back from our first holiday together at CPH yesterday and are full of nothing but praise for the place. As others have said it is a good idea to get a car - although we didn't bother. It took us a week to peel ourselves off the sunbeds - Kef has that affect on most people we found. We took a couple of days out to explore but used public transport and found it very efficient and also cheaper than the car hire, as mentioned before the Lixouri-Argostoli ferry was excellent at e1.20 with breath taking scenery. For a day out I would highly reccomend Captain Maccies Glass Bottom Boat - we booked it through our Thompsons Rep Jeni (who was amazing I might add) although all the tour operators on the island use it from what I can gather. What fun we had, even in the rain (which we had for the last 3 days of our holiday) playing volley ball in the sea and getting covered in clay. And although the food at Ceph Palace was brilliant we ate better on the boat trip than we did all fortnight. The best thing was Captain Maccie finds Dolphins and they come and play with the boat, made the holiday for me. The evenings entertainment at CPH was a little too 1950's Butlins for our taste but after a few cocktails from the ever attentive Dina and Terry, it can turn into the funniest thing that you have ever seen. Although towards the end of the hol I got a bit frustrated and as a singer myself I took over one night and did a bit myself. But the atmosphere is so relaxed this was not a problem. The room was 100% clean with a very nice bathroom (one of the most important aspects of a room for me). The pool was visably cleaned on a regular basis as is the beach area, which you notice if you take a walk a little further to a not so looked after area. On average a beautiful island and top notch hotel - there are not many places I would return to in favour of exploring a new corner of the world but Kefalonia and the Palace is one of them. | ||||||||||

| We stayed in the Kefalonia Palace in late June / early July and throughly enjoyed it. If you're after a relaxing holiday this is the place. Our advice take a book for by the pool, hire a car to see this beautiful Island and head up to one of the bars overlooking the sea, either the one owned by the hotel or the one further up the hill where the beer is cheaper. The only grumble would be the entertainment or lack of it but it was too hot in the hotel bar at night anyway. All in all a fantastic place, a great pool, nice staff and nice holiday makers where I'm sure a lot of friendships were forged. | ||||||||||
