Hotel San Giorgio

The staff at this hotel are some of the friendliest you will find in the world. Super clean due to COVID issues but made simpler for the guest with service at tables and good communication. As someone who has a gluten-free diet, they always accommodated my needs. Food was good quality along with drinks. There is a mini bus into Skala centre (3km) or beaches but the walk back in the evening was never an issue although taxi is €6 or return mini bus (until 8pm) is an option. Would definitely recommend this hotel and the Island which along with a trip to Ithaca has some of the best views you’ll ever see.

Third visit to this hotel for my mum and I. Perfect location, picturesque views with 3 beautiful beach coves close by which we visited most of the time. Clean rooms, most with sea views and lovely balconies. The food is great; I’m vegan and always had something tasty to eat and snacks at the bar are great. Could not fault the team at the San Giorgio, they are so lovely, welcoming and accommodating, going the extra mile to make your stay perfect. Arrived home yesterday and have just booked our next trip to the San Giorgio (new swim up rooms) for 2021. If you want English food, boozy loud karaoke nights, copious amounts of unhealthy snacks, bars/nightclubs & cafes on your doorstep and no animals then I suggest you head to Benidorm. Thank you for another great vacation! Linda & Laura

Myself and my husband stayed for a week’s all inclusive in September 2020. Our room was situated at the top, which at first provided the shock of about 7 flights of stairs but it was more than worth it for the beautiful sea view and sunrise every morning, and burnt off some calories! The room was spotless and cleaned every morning, not that you spend much time in it anyway. Only grumble is that while you’re out of the room during the day not only does the air conditioning stop (understandable to save energy) but all the power does too which was a bit of a pain for trying to charge kindle/phone etc for short periods of time. No signal in rooms which we liked because it stops you sitting on your phone! Otherwise strong WiFi connection by the pool and reception area for keeping in touch with the world. Restaurant staff cannot do enough for you, and the chef was fantastic - you tell them what you would like from the buffet and they dish up for you, so we found we wasted a lot less food and consciously ate healthier than at a usual all inclusive. We were pleasantly surprised to see mostly Greek food and not much English food, we do get sick of the holidays when British people go abroad then complain there’s no chicken nuggets or pizza and chips. Absolutely beautiful food! Slightly limited choice but due to current covid climate it’s to be expected. We did eat out a few times for a change of scenery but we certainly weren’t struggling for choice. Pools are absolutely immaculate as are the surrounding facilities, you see the cleaners multiple times throughout the day and they work hard to keep everything clean and tidy. Plastic disposable cups are given during the day again due to covid, but this meant they could be quickly thrown away so no wasps gathering (the wasps were a slight pain at mealtimes). Poolside bar brilliant, particularly Aris who kept us entertained with his friendly jokey manner every day. Would have liked slightly more choice of soft drinks or at least one diet option (Diet Coke etc would have been nice). There isn’t much going on after dinner, one night there was a guy playing piano and singing and it was fantastic to see people up dancing. Would have been nice to have some music playing even through a speaker in the evenings for a bit of atmosphere but otherwise can’t complain. Overall would definitely recommend but would recommend hiring a car as Skala is a good 40 minute walk away (we did it the one day but not again!) and you can see the entire island by car in a day - which we did, seeing Assos, Myrtos beach, Antistamos beach, Fiscardo, Argostoli and Sami and it is an absolute must.
