Sunset Paradise Resort

staff helpful and very hard working, rooms are cleaned daily, breakfast by the pool in the early morning sunshine is just amazing with the views over the hills, a real treat. The Greek yogurt is a real must for breakfast, also a car for getting around is essential. Reasonably priced with jet2 also. The restaurants serve fish platters and are amazing, and well priced to eat out in lassie too.

First and foremost Michael who runs the bar/food and everything else in the day time is one of the best hosts I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, he is an absolute gentleman who happens to cook amazing food ! He really does make this a holiday to remember. We had an amazing room with stunning views all clean and tidy. My reason for not giving it 5/5 is Pool area really does need some attention I last visited here 2 years ago and since then the sunbed covers have become very well used and also broken sun beds that are not replaced which on the odd accession the pool is busy there are not enough beds. Yes some tidying up around the general area wouldn’t go a miss but this did not effect our holiday. NOW FOR THE WORST THING … Our last night we were kept awake until 3am by the owner keeping the bar area open till 3am with music soo load that we could not get to sleep even after using ear plugs! Usually the bar closes at 10.30 but it seems a few guests wanted a party ! In the morning it became apparent that all of us staying on the top block were kept awake, such a shame on our last night. Lassi please be aware that their card machine does not work ever this means that when you arrive you will need cash to pay for your tax and the air con which for a 10 night stay will be around €100 in totality The hill is huge and we never walked up it, but be warned some taxis will not drop you back to the apartments as the road is too bumpy, in total we had 3 drivers refuse us. Would I visit again probably yes as Michael is amazing and the setting is beautiful.

I stayed here last year and had a lovely stay - but this year felt completely different due to a few easily avoidable issues and the poor attitude of the staff. The room was a basement - which wasnt a problem initially until I noticed an awful smell coming from the corridoor outside my room (smelt like rotting sewage) luckily whatever this was it was cleaned on the second or third day. Not a great welcome though. The amount of mosquitos seemed unusually high even though I used plug-ins & repellant, plus kept all the windows/doors closed (only one had a proper mosquito net fixed). The hairdryer wasnt fixed to the wall which is pure lazyness (this meant the holder awkwardly dangled around whilst in use). One of the chair seats on the veranda was broken and if someone else in the building used a shower at the same time the water ran boiling hot with no pressure - then cold. The pillows smelt like musty sweat and were rock hard (I asked for another which was no better) also the blanket was stained. None of the tv channels worked but I wasn't really that bothered. On my second day I ordered a coffee at the bar (I work in hospitality so I'm always friendly to staff and happy to be on holiday) - the barman then proceeded to take make fun of me and speak rudely about me in Greek to the cleaning staff WHILST I was standing infront of him - untill he realised that I understand Greek due to the fact I lived and worked in Kefalonia in the past for 5 years! - I was given the coffee for free and he apologised but nothing warranted this behaviour, although I laughed it off and tried not to be offended it did leave me feeling quite uncomfortable and a little saddened. It must be amusing to him to speak badly about the guests when he thinks they cannot understand him perhaps? The only reason I've not given one star is due to the fact that aside from its issues, the room was clean & I had a nice holiday hiring a car and making the most of my time in Kefalonia. I work hard all year and save up to be able to enjoy a holiday once or twice a year, I dont expect anything spectacular - just to be able to have a comfortable and pleasant stay. This was neither unfortunately.
