Louis Apostolata Island Resort

I've already written my main hols review,but I came back to Skala on my own again.I stayed in the village but couldn't resist a day here,spoke to a few of the staff I'd met previously and they were delighted to see me so soon after last visit.I was allowed the whole day by the pool and ate atvthe pool restaurant..what a brilliant day.I also took a boat ride which took me past the hotel and it looked fabulous from the sea...I love the place and the staff!🇬🇷🇬🇧

Stayed here the last week in September and first week of October 2025 , didn’t have a great start to our holiday due to a massive storm and had to land in Corfu for 4 hours to refuel and shelter from the storm, eventually getting to our hotel 6 hours late , suffered rain every day of our stay but did manage to get a few days sunshine, the hotel is set in a fantastic location with amazing views, there are a lot of steps to contend with to get to the pool and restaurants but at least it keeps you fit , you can always call reception for the golf buggies to run you around, the town of Skala is about a 50 minute walk from the hotel but the hotel does run a free shuttle bus if the walk is to far, the Sea Pearl restaurant has a buffet style with a different theme most nights, plenty of variety, breakfast and lunch is also very good, look out for George and Vangilis , very polite and friendly, the main reception bar is very good, Dimitra, Nikos and Periklis are brilliant on a night time, also look out for Lenny and Peter the entertainment team , absolute legends , Penelope and the female life guard around the pool bar are great , can’t recommend this hotel enough, very relaxing atmosphere, will definitely be returning but in a warmer month.

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay and would like to extend our gratitude to the entire team. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff welcomed us with professionalism and warmth, ensuring a smooth and pleasant check-in experience. Particular care was taken with my sons, who both have food allergies. The attention and understanding shown by the staff in catering for their needs was truly commendable and gave us great peace of mind throughout our stay. I was also fortunate to celebrate my birthday during our holiday, and the thoughtful touches provided made the occasion especially memorable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would not hesitate to recommend this property to others. We look forward to returning in the future Thank you ❤️

We booked a two-week stay at this hotel and, while there were a few pleasant moments, overall the experience did not reflect the standards expected of a five-star establishment. On our first day, we dined at the poolside restaurant, which was very disappointing. My toasted sandwich was poorly presented, while my husband’s club sandwich contained chewy, unpleasant chicken that was clearly not fresh. The chips were cold and undercooked, making the €18 cost difficult to justify. Later, I ordered a mojito at the bar which was made incorrectly with gin instead of rum. Despite the mistake, I was still charged €12 for a drink that bore no resemblance to what I had ordered. Our room was reasonably comfortable and the sea view was lovely. However, the bathroom was dated and in need of some refurbishment. Housekeeping was inconsistent throughout our stay: while the bed was made and bins emptied, little else was cleaned. Surfaces were left untouched, and on one occasion our room had still not been serviced by 2pm, which prompted us to complain. The main disappointment during our stay was the food. Across the two weeks, the choice was extremely limited, with the fruit offering almost exclusively melon and desserts very restricted. Unlike other hotels of similar rating, there was no variety or sense of abundance, which made mealtimes uninspiring. By the second week, we chose to dine out most evenings, at our own expense, simply to enjoy a better standard of food. Other aspects were also frustrating. Towels could only be exchanged at reception, which meant climbing a large number of stairs (despite a single lift being available). On our second attempt to change towels, we were told there were none available. Reception service was also unfriendly; one member of staff in particular came across as stern and unwelcoming. When we asked if we could swap our included evening meal on one day (as we would be out from early morning) for a lunch on our final day instead, the request was refused. This seemed inflexible and unaccommodating. In the restaurant, service was inconsistent. One waiter was particularly discourteous, often giving guests disapproving looks and only beginning to smile towards the very end of our stay. On a positive note, the evening bar was exceptional. The staff there were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely eager to please. The female bar manager in particular stood out — she went above and beyond for guests, was exceptionally friendly, and made fantastic cocktails. Her professionalism and warmth were a real highlight of our stay. In summary, while the location and sea view were enjoyable and the evening bar staff provided an excellent service, the overall experience was let down by poor food quality, limited choice, inconsistent cleaning, and unfriendly service elsewhere. For a hotel presenting itself as five-star, it fell far short of expectations, and we left feeling disappointed.

Amazing time we stayed in a suite with sea view and private pool the views were amazing beautiful sun rise as we overlooked the sea we were at the bottom of the resort so used the buggies to get us up to the restaurant and reception but we did walk back down to our suite. The lovely cleaner spoke to us every day and room was spotless. Staff at both bars were lovely and pool bar food was simple and tasty and the staff there were so friendly. The main restaurant also fine everything you could want but not always presented well. We hired a car for a couple of days arranged by reception for us. Kefalonia is so beautiful glad we could see more at our own pace. We also used taxi to skala a few times. We will definitely return.

My experience was excellent at the Louis Apostolata Spa Resort. The Staff was really nice and helpful. Starting with the Director of the Hotel to the Metre at the Restaurant Dimos (one of the nicest persons you could meet & always smiling & making you welcome) to the Staff at Reception: Nikiforos (such a nice & efficient boy), Maria (such a nice girl), all of them to the people working at the Restaurant (very friendly & helpful). I had such a lovely time at the Louis Apostolata Spa Resort. I was feeling like at Home. Many thanks from the bottom of my heart.
