Kasteel van Kefalos

We arrived at Cabana Blu, located in a charming neighborhood—not the fanciest area, but full of character. This hotel really stands out. It’s brand new, and we had booked the penthouse. The penthouse exceeded our expectations: stunning views of the mountains and the sea, a spacious terrace with a jacuzzi, two loungers, two chairs, and a side table. The bed is in the center of the room, so waking up to that view was magical. There was also a Bluetooth speaker for relaxing music and a private elevator directly to our penthouse—a real luxury! A few minor issues arose: on arrival, there was a slight odor from the shower drain, quickly managed with towels. Storage was limited; the large bohemian-style wardrobe was fine for hanging clothes, but no drawers for smaller items like underwear or socks. The lighting touchscreens were innovative but not set up correctly, and the jacuzzi hadn’t been cleaned properly. All issues were promptly addressed after reporting them. We arranged a car through the hotel easily, including leaving it at the airport. Staff were exceptionally friendly, greeting us daily with cheerful “Kalimera” and small chats, making us feel very welcome. The restaurant team was equally attentive, and after a few days, we felt a personal connection.Although we didn’t use the pool much, we were offered another room with a shared pool when we wanted to extend our stay. Overall, Cabana Blu was fantastic—clean, well-maintained, and with staff who went above and beyond.

Lovely boutique hotel! Would stay again, the food was good and the hotel was brand new. We stayed on the suites side which I recommend.
