Dionysos Village Resort

Good: Quite an amazing looking place. One of the nicest place we’ve stayed at.(to a point) Staff very friendly. Will help with many things. Nice sized rooms. All have a great view of the sea. The pool and area is pristine. Just had it renovated this year. So perfectly new and gorgeous. The sea view there is unforgettable. Loungers nicely separated. Not jammed together like some places. Cleaning staff do a excellent job cleaning up the rooms. They leave it spotless. If you leave your clothes in disarray, they will fold them for you and leave them in a stack. Bad: There are no freebies here. Have to pay for everything even coffee in the morning. They just give you a couple packets of tea. Wifi is really annoying. Have to sign up every time. Over and over again. It times out. The worst wifi I’ve ever had at any hotel. Same breakfast buffet every day. Change it up. I’m glad we were staying on one of the south buildings because there is at least one dog that barks constantly and a rooster that crows whenever it want throughout the day. Ac doesn’t work properly. Doesn’t get cool in the room. When it’s plus 30 it’s a big deal. Ugly: I seen the cook smoking in the snack bar kitchen while he was cooking. That’s gross. If you like wasps/bees on your food at breakfast buffet, you’re in luck. They have that! This place is on a hill...a very big hill. It’s fine if you’re planning on staying put there and not go anywhere. You can’t just walk down the street to another restaurant. Closest is about 15 min walk down hill. But then you have to climb up. If you’re not reasonably fit don’t try. It’ll take the wind out of you. We stayed there at the end of their season. Don’t expect to find much on the menu

Had a week stay at the Dionysus and could not fault it. The hotel is beautiful with lovely grounds, huge swimming pool lovely bar area and amazing views! Our room was better than we expected with a nice modern bathroom with walk in shower which is rare for Greece. All the staff were very friendly and like other reviewers we were also with Thomas cook but didn’t receive any poor treatment as a result. The hill..... fine walking down but after a day at the beach and in hot temperatures would have been a struggle to walk up but paying 5 euros is worth it. Without the hill you wouldn’t have the amazing views. Lassi has plenty of lovely restaurants mainly traditional Greek food which suited us! Argostoli just a short taxi ride away for 7 euros if you fancy a change of scenery. The beach once down the hill is across the road all in all around a 10 min walk. Lovely sandy beach with shallow calm warm water! Free sun beds of you buy food or drink at the beach bar All in all a fantastic hotel and resort

We stayed at dionysos for 2 weeks from 8th sep. Our first visit to kefalonia. We absolutely fell in love with lassi, Argostoli (which you can easily walk to) and kefalonia. We can't wait to return. We've stayed in many apartments on other Greek islands and the standard here was excellent. The rooms were spotlessly clean, towels changed every 3 days, pool area was very clean, everything was very well looked after and it's in a beautiful spot. Always loads of very comfortable sunbeds around the pool. I have to mention the hill. We are fairly fit, my partner is 55 and I'm a bit younger, and we managed it fine, we didn't get a taxi once. And the views are stunning at the top! It certainly wouldn't stop us returning. We travelled with Thomas Cook and went home the day before they went into administration, which is very sad. I really hope it doesn't affect hotels in kefalonia. We'll be contacting the hotel directly to book in the future. I don't really write reviews but we had to leave a review for dionysos as we loved this hotel and had such a wonderful time. I could write loads more, but it's covered on the other reviews. Thanks for a brilliant holiday, to Maria all the team at dionysos.
