“We will be back”

We have just returned from a wonderful 11 night stay at Kymata Beach Resort. We had a villa overlooking the sea and it was delightful. The little cove adjacent to the resort was great for snorkelling. We went to Captain Nikolas's restaurant several times. We will definitely go back. Thoroughly recommend the ferry from Lixouri to Argostoli rather than driving round the bay. You do need a car. Our air conditioning unit in our bedroom didn't work and so they replaced it when we raised it.

We had a wonderful stay at Kymata. As soon as we got off the plane I was contacted by the resort Manager, Antigone, who checked what time we will be arriving. Once we arrived, Antigone informed us that she has upgraded us to a beautiful sea-view villa, which made our day. The villa itself was beautiful - had a lovely rustic feel with contemporary fittings and was immaculately clean. The surroundings were perfect for a pair of city dwellers - so peaceful with stunning views of the ocean. It's a remote area so I would definitely recommend hiring a car, which is the best option for touring the island anyway, as there are so many places to visit on different sides of the island. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, served everyday on our villa veranda. The staff were all super friendly and attentive. Antigone in particular was brilliant - she was always on-hand with recommendations for activities and even put us in contact with a company for a boat tour which ended-up being our favourite day of the holiday. Would definitely recommend Kymata, for those looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay on the island.

“Great experience”

Absolutely loved my stay here with my family. Our villa was so nice & I loved the privacy we (you get ur own pool aswell as the big one). Such a beautiful area with sea all around. Staff were lovely, especially the bar tender. Do remember mosquito spray though due to the climate!

“Some care and attention would make it a lovely little resort”

I'm a bit conflicted about the Kymata resort. On the surface, it's a lovely resort, with attentive staff. It's a small, personal antidote to faceless, bigger resorts. First, the good stuff: The sense of privacy. There are 12 villas but you never feel overlooked. We never really heard a neighbour … more

I'm a bit conflicted about the Kymata resort. On the surface, it's a lovely resort, with attentive staff. It's a small, personal antidote to faceless, bigger resorts. First, the good stuff: The sense of privacy. There are 12 villas but you never feel overlooked. We never really heard a neighbour and rarely saw people, even though they seemed fully booked. - The view from the balcony was great, looking over the sea. - The private pool was bigger than expected and the kids loved it. - The few ladies who seemed to run the place were friendly and attentive. We had a bottle of rose wine and some other things when we arrived. The bad stuff: - We stayed in one of the bigger buildings with a balcony - which was a free upgrade, but it wasn't as high end as the website suggests - door handles were hanging off, the ceiling fan was loose, the toilet seat was loose and would pinch your leg if you weren't careful, the sink was loose, the doors didn't fit flush and some couldn't be closed at all. Some stonework was loose around the pool. Some wooden slats were loose and rusty nails were sticking out. The frustrating thing is that these are all simple fixes that an onsite handyman could fix in a morning. I know other people mentioned it on their reviews, so it shows that the resort managers don't read or care about guest's opinions. - Our kids got horribly bitten on the first few nights. We were given some plug in deterrents and spray and it seemed to help, but we're never experienced such bad bites. The sheets seemed clean and no bed bugs. Honestly, it's between average and very good, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt as I think you can't go to more remote paces and expect all the fixtures and fittings at the reasonable price we paid. The area itself is quiet, which is good and bad. We liked it, but were glad to stay in Argostoli, which was more bustling - and our doors closed.
