White Rocks Hotel Kefalonia

Beautiful hotel in a gorgeous setting. Everywhere incredibly clean and obviously well maintained. The most swift check in experience we have ever had. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Gym good quality equipment with a treadmill, bike, bench and free weights. Food was high quality and plentiful. Best half board restaurant we have ever visited. The only thing that let it down was the poor restaurant service after 8pm. We were told that 7-8pm was the “quiet” time whilst 8pm onwards was “busy”. The truth is you were unlikely to find a clean table after 8:30 and even then it took 10 minutes for the staff to clean and place new cutlery. I cannot blame the staff because for the 7 days we were there we saw the same 4-5 faces at breakfast and dinner. It is clear they are overworked and understaffed. When we visited at 7/7:30pm we never had an issue. We visited at 8:30pm and didn’t get offered a drink and had to ask multiple times for cutlery. All of this said, we would still very much look forward to visiting again in the future.

One of the loveliest hotels we've been to! The food was delicious and plentiful, and of high quality. Staff greeted you and were very friendly and helpful. The location is stunning and the gardens and grounds immaculately kept.....as were the rooms. We hired a car for 4 days and explored the beautiful island. On hindsight we should have paid extra for a sea view or a bungalow. We will definitely return. Thank you to all the staff that made our holiday so memorable 😊

The White Rocks reputation obviously goes before it. Very special hotel. We’ve had a lovely stay. The hotel room was excellent, I would just suggest that having a good coffee machine in the room would take it up a level. Sadly the sound proofing in the room meant we could hear the person in the next room snoring in the middle of the night! We stayed half board. The breakfast was superb. So much choice and excellent coffee. The evening meal was very repetitive and on occasion not great options. That said all the food was fresh and presented well. The reception and cleaning staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. The bar staff too. In the restaurant, I know they are busy but the staff were a bit aloof. To improve the hotel a safe walkway into the resort of Lassi would be good. The small private beach was disappointing. We preferred and used the beach next to it. Great to have beach towels to use. The pool area was lovely but it had very limited loungers.

The perfect location for complete relaxation. I have visited White Rocks a few times and each time is such a warm welcome. Friendly staff who are always professional and helpful. The beach bar is the perfect location with a delicious drinks and food menu. The cleanliness of this hotel is outstanding (both inside and outside). I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone wishing a relaxing and blissful holiday. Can’t wait to return!

Incredible hotel, incredible staff, incredible wedding day. We stayed at the immaculate White Rocks Hotel and also had our wedding at this venue. It has been an experience that will live with my wife and I forever thanks to the staff, scenery, hotel room and overall experience. I’d encourage anyone to book a stay here while staying in Kefalonia. The suite with pool was outstanding, fresh towels including beach towel, rooms serviced daily and the most comfortable double sun bed ever! Breakfast variety and quality also fantastic. Thanks to all at White Rocks for making our stay unforgettable. Mr & Mrs Grey.

Fabulous Hotel , Wonderful Location ,Fabulous People, The Food is quite Exceptional very well run and family owned which gives you the personnel touch the staff can’t do enough for you. To many people to thank for making our holiday perfect but here’s a few Gerasimus , John , Maria , Aubrey I could go on and on 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

Nice room seaview overlooking local beaches. However, 4* in Greece usually only means 3* as is White Rocks case. Buffet meals boring and same every day, rarely any Greek food included (we like Greek food so had to go to local restaurants to get it). Pool too small & not enough poolside proper beds. Away from the pool back-breaking great big beanbags only on offer. Despite masses of pines in the grounds no other shady areas available to sit in apart from the hotel terrace. Right by the road so seaview room essential.

Had a great time at White Rocks. Food was very good, bungalow overlooking the ocean was beautiful, roomy and clean and great views. Staff in all areas very helpful and attentive, especially front desk. The beach is a bit rocky but with shoes is OK. Spent a lot of time snorkelling around to the tiny private sandy beach about 150 yards to the left of the beach. The water was crystal clear and it was like having our own little hideaway, saw no one on it all week, stunning but not easy to get to unless your confident in deep water. Pool is nice and cold to cool off in, and the beanbag beds are so comfortable - they are just a delight. Reception sorted a car and we did the caves (4/10) and Melsanni blue waters 9/10. Then went to Assos town which was stunning and better than Fiskado which was nice, but didn't have the feel of Assos. Went to Argostoli to see the Loggerhead turtles, that was a real highlight, but get there before 10am so see them as the fishing boats finish emptying there nets then they go, such graceful things. Didn't much like the local town and the walk at night is a bit hairy if your not confident, only went once for some mixers. Only two very small gripes, coffee IMO should be included with dinner at night, not a paid for extra, and the bank of lights for the room alarms, smoke etc, were so bright and flashed all night so had to cover them up.

We chose the White Rocks Hotel after extensive research as it had all our requirements for a peaceful relaxing holiday. We stayed in a sea view room in the main building which had plenty of space and was kept immaculate by the house maids. Fresh towels and beach towels daily. Tea and coffee, fridge and safe. Plenty wardrobe space which was great for our 2 week stay. The glass panel on the balcony was great for uninterrupted views. To be able to hear the waves from your bed for me is bliss. We mixed it up daily between pool, private beach and the beach below our balcony. The private beach is small but lovely and as others have mentioned beach shoes are handy. The public beach has quite a few steps down to it and a security gate so only hotel guests can come back in. We didn’t find the steps a problem and the beach is lovely, Sandy and clear water. We have been to lots of beaches in different countries and this is my favourite by far. 2 Sun loungers €10 for the day. The pool has the comfiest loungers, music and snacks and drinks available from the bar. The only negative was other guests racing to put towels on beds. The pool opens at 9am and we would queue however when the chain was removed to open some guests jumped over other chains and ran to the beds therefore ignoring the queue. Not the hotels fault, down to rude individuals. It was our first time staying anywhere HB as we normally choose B&B and eat in different places at night but it was fantastic. Great variety and plenty of variations each night. The salads and fruit salads were lovely as well as the cakes. I don’t think my husband had the same soup any night. Well done to the chef. The holiday was a well needed recharge as well as Anniversary for us and that is what we definitely got. We didn’t venture to the places we planned other than Argostoli as we just wanted to relax. Staff members were friendly band polite. Special mention to Sophie in the restaurant who always remembered our drinks orders and would have them ready for us, making us feel welcome. Also to Cristos at the pool bar who would know our lunch order and drinks before we would even ask. He was the happiest most polite staff member at the pool and took time to acknowledge everyone including children playing. I would highly recommend staying at White Rocks Hotel. We had a fantastic stay and look forward to celebrating and recharging again in Summer 2024.
