Petani Bay Hotel - Adults Only

Everything

Faultless

Everything, so friendly and comfortable.

Menu needed to be a bit more extensive and it would have been nice to have more fresh fruit on offer for breakfast.

We spent a relaxing sun and beach holiday here as a couple and couldn’t have chosen a better place. This charming family-run boutique hotel (managed by two generations) offers exceptional hospitality – everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring. The property is beautifully maintained, with a fantastic pool area, comfortable sun loungers, and breathtaking views over the bay. We loved spending time both by the pool and exploring Kefalonia’s beautiful beaches. Even though the hotel was fully booked during peak season, it always felt peaceful and relaxing, with plenty of space and privacy. It’s the perfect place to recharge your batteries and enjoy a truly relaxing holiday. A rental car is definitely recommended, as it makes visiting the island’s stunning beaches and the excellent restaurants nearby very easy. A big thank you to the entire family and team for making our stay so special. We highly recommend Petani Bay Hotel and would love to come back!

The view of Petani Bay is incredible and the pool area is great. The rooms are clean and large bed was really comfortable.

We were disappointed with the hotel for a few reasons. The breakfast is poor. Despite it being a boutique hotel where turnover of the food is low, most of the warm food is kept in a heated dish (not made fresh), and tasteless (we even found the yoghurt lacked taste compared to what we had elsewhere). The food we ordered to the pool was also very disappointing (the fries were borderline inedible). This is made worse by the fact the hotel is very remote (there isn't even a bakery or mini supermarket within walking distance - it takes 45+ mins to drive most places on the island). You definitely need a car. The shower didn't have a screen and flooded the bathroom every time we used it. Basic amenities weren't provided (e.g. conditioner - all that's provided is a combined body wash/shampoo), and the hair dryer was so old it often didn't work. This isn't acceptable for a 4 star hotel. While some of the staff were lovely, the manner of the owner often felt direct to the point of rudeness. This was a sharp contrast to the warm hospitality we've experienced in many other Greek hotels over the years. We don't mean to sound overly negative, but the owners could make this experience so much better.
