Hotel Grand Nefeli

We loved our stay here, right on the beach. The staff were friendly and informative, the daily breakfast was very nice, and our room was comfortable. It is also situated at the best end of the beach. We would stay here again as it offered excellent value.

The room was quite large in addition to other hotels . But the unacceptable subject was that in the bathroom there was no hot water,only cold . So that is an important factor to choose your hotel. Although the room was not quite clean as it suppose to be

We stayed in Grand Nefeli in early October. The room was nice and bright, and very clean with beautiful views of the beach and mountains. We enjoyed very much the large balcony where overlooking the swimming pool and beach but was private enough not to be bothered/bother next door neighbours. The downstairs bar/restaurant by the swimming pool was very cosy and comfortable but most importantly, all the staff was very welcoming and helpful with any queries we had about the hotel (parking, rooms etc.) but also the local area. There was even service provided at their private beach so we could order refreshments straight after coming out of the sea. The location was perfect as it's at the end of Vasiliki (15 minutes walk to the marina) but literally right on the beach. There were still restaurants and cafes available within 5 minutes walk. We will definitely be back and recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a hotel in Lefkada.

So positives on this hotel -we stayed in a double en-suite apartment ( 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms) and the rooms were clean - the balcony views onto the beach were lovely - the bathrooms modern and nice - beds very comfortable. I'm afraid thereafter that was it. This hotel is not a 4* hotel, 3* would be more accurate. Staff did not have a great attitude apart from the amazing young lad working the beach. Breakfast was a soulless experience as you leaned over a plastic barrier to get your selection. You then had to look for somewhere to eat, often at coffee tables with furniture covered in sweaty plastic sheets. We ended up abandoning breakfast and going out to the cafes nearby for fresh juice, omelettes+. And the same in the evenings. We were keen to bike in the mornings and hired bikes. These were dangerous & not maintained. When we stated that the front wheel of one of the bikes was missing one of the two wheel nuts holding it on, and that none of the gears worked, we were made to feel like we were causing trouble. To be fair, the hotel didn't charge us for the hire but only after we said charging was not acceptable. The Nefeli Windsurf/ paddle hire centre - which may not be connected to the hotel - also had a really poor attitude. Very expensive, virtually no service with the team spending more time talking to each other, than focusing on the clients. I hired a paddle-board and was told to go and pick one from the beach. The paddle-boards were falling to bits and in a really shabby state. We tried to book windsurf lessons but the prices were much higher than neighbouring Cosmos prices and in the end, we gave up and went next door to Cosmos. The hotel also booked our taxi pickup from Preveza and charged us 120 Euros - we subsequently discovered that booking our own taxi directly cost 85 euros. Not great.
