Ionian Blue Bungalows and Spa Resort

We just returned from our best vacation ever, thanks to this amazing hotel. The location is perfect, and the view from our room offered a breathtaking, uninterrupted panorama of the Ionian Sea. Every request we had was accommodated promptly and with a smile by the exceptionally friendly and professional staff—especially Vasiliky. The swimming pool is large and overlooks the sea, but we hardly spent any time there. Why? Because we didn’t want to miss a moment on the hotel’s stunning private beach area, which features a beautifully designed deck system that makes relaxing by the water unforgettable. Although we usually explore a new Greek island each time we visit, this hotel might just bring us back to Lefkada. Eyal Lavi

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 .

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!!!

This hotel was built as a beautiful 5 star establishment on a perfect land shaft. It has all the perks to be a perfect facility. Unfortunately, for 20 years in operation, little was done to maintain it. We occupied rooms 603 and 604, both of them have mold on the grout in the bathrooms (I took seven photos, so the GM be careful on his response, I read that he threatened a reviewer to take legal action against him). The pool bar is supposed to be open until 8pm, when we went to buy the next round of beers at 6:30pm it was closed and so was the beach bar. I requested a meeting with the GM but never had one. The receptionist told me that she deputizes for him ??? If this hotel was as perfect as the GM believes it is, it shouldn’t have 3 out of five rating on more than 600 reviews. With this a rest my case.

The hotel is beautiful, just a bit outdated rooms but I don't mind that as they're very spacious and have all the comforts one needs, including a safe and a fridge. The outdoor areas and the pool are really great. They also have a restaurant near the pool with a beautiful view. Some of the staff is very friendly, some not so much but I can understand that being very busy as they are, above all in the restaurant, is not an easy job. The food is okay. My only complaint is the amount of single use cups that you see everywhere. From the restaurant area during breakfast, to the restaurant by the pool. Also water comes in plastic bottles. Given the non existing recycling problem that Greece has, I would expect hotels to do their bit to reduce the problem. Many hotels we have been around have now filters to provide drinking water, I would be happy to pay for this. Unfortunately It's not the case in this hotel. I think it's just laziness as it's easier to throw away cups, rather than washing them. This was the only issue I had.

I went to a wedding here and it was so well done! The staff was very accommodating. The rooms are nice and the food was really good. The pool was my favorite place to watch the sun set. Had a great time! Perfect for a destination wedding! Bring bug spray though. lol
