We have recently returned from a 10 day holiday from White rocks and what a truly relaxing and perfect holiday it was. We have been to Kefalonia before but it was our first time at White rocks and we weren’t disappointed as this hotel surpasses the others. We had a sea view room and the views were stunning, the location and design of the hotel spread out along the cliff is spectacular with the restaurants and terraces and main accommodation along through the pine trees to the pool and sun lounge area, beach bar and private beach, which is great for snorkelling. The hotel and rooms are spotless, the staff all so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The food in the restaurant is excellent, with a good choice for breakfast and dinner in the evening was always varied with different dishes every night. The sunbeds are the most comfortable we have ever been on and there is a lovely relaxed feel around the pool area. The hotel is ideally placed with a short walk into Lassi, where there are a couple of supermarkets and a good selection of Tavernas and bars and a 10 minute taxi ride takes you into Argostoli. All in all, this has been one of our best most chilled and relaxing holidays and we have already booked to return next September to White rocks.

“Nice hotel but do bed & breakfast for better value for money”

Lovely hotel room was kept beautifully clean, new towels every day for bathroom & pool. Main restaurant food was amazing, but canteen atmosphere, this could probably be made so much nicer. We ate in the a la carte restaurant as the setting was beautiful over looking the sea but menu was very disappointing, didn’t change at all & not much choice, very European, not many Greek choices, we were on a half board basis & drinks are quite expensive. Staff we very friendly though & very efficient. If we ever go again I would do bed & breakfast only I think. Saying all that we had a lovely time 😊

“Great hotel food average”

Beautiful location and lovely hotel. We had a private pool room and the views and sunsets were stunning. Staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough. Only issue was the evening buffet meal, no authentic Greek dishes and it felt like a school canteen.

“A very nice hotel that tries hard. But poor food offering, and flawed bungalow accommodation.”

We returned to the hotel having heard it had been refurbished since our previous visit. Let’s start with the good stuff.

We returned to the hotel having heard it had been refurbished since our previous visit. Let’s start with the good stuff. The refurbishment has catapulted the hotel into the 21st century that could rival any modern 5*. It looks amazing and is spotlessly clean. The staff are also professional, polite and courteous – especially bar staff, Christopher the wine waiter, and housekeeping. The position on the cliff overlooking Platis Gialos beach is also perfect. We spent 1 hour every evening with a G&T watching the sun go down before dinner. Bliss. We stayed in one of the bungalows (not in the main hotel block) and again the room was spotless and comfortable. The bad stuff: 1. Dinner is now buffet style. Unfortunately, the cooked meat was often overdone, tough and sometimes inedible. Not good for half-board. 2. Breakfast was also a challenge. Cooked food was lukewarm, and the plates were cold, so we tended to stick to cereal and toast. Also, the Nespresso type coffee machines left a lot of guests confused as to their operation. This resulted in a long queue for a coffee. The bungalow: 3. For some reason, there is a 1m x 1m hole in the wall that separates the bathroom from the sleeping area. The result… the outside security nightlight shines through the bathroom window straight into the sleeping area… ALL - NIGHT – LONG. It then gets worse at sunrise as the bathroom window faces east! Sun shining in my face before 07:00 is not what I wanted on a holiday. See photo. The White Rocks hotel does try very hard. However, the dining experience is not good and the bungalows need blinds. Hence 3/5.
