Description

Porto Galini Seaside Resort & Spa is a five-star property in Nikiana, Lefkada, renovated in 2007 and rated 8.6/10 overall. It offers a wide variety of room types ranging from Economy rooms to Grand Suites, many with sea or garden views and balconies. Guests can expect high cleanliness and amenities scores (9/10 each), along with attentive service. The resort features multiple pools, a private beach with free kayaks and paddleboards, a spa and wellness center, tennis courts, and a fitness center. The on-site buffet restaurant serves diverse breakfast options with show cooking, and there is a pool bar with food and drinks delivered to sunbeds. The hotel is praised for its spectacular sea views, spacious grounds, and friendly staff. However, the location on a steep hill means many steps to navigate, which could be challenging for guests with mobility issues. Electric buggies are available to assist with transport around the property.

Location

Porto Galini is situated on Main Street in Nikiana, Lefkada, Greece, at latitude 38.7363 and longitude 20.7312. The hotel is approximately 100 kilometers from Araxos Airport (GPA). Its private beach lies about 35 steps down from the pool area, and Fteri Beach is 3.8 kilometers away. Nearby dining includes "Lefkada Jimmies" restaurant just 155 meters from the hotel. The property is located between the towns of Nydri and Nikiana—the former is a 6-minute car ride away, and there is a bus stop directly outside the hotel offering connections north to Lefkada town and south to Nidri for around 2 euros each way. Guests frequently hire mopeds or cars to explore nearby islands such as Meganisi via ferry from Nidri.

Tips

Amazing hotel, way beyond expectations !
The staff were super friendly, the service was excellent, and the views are just spectacular. The room was beautiful and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, and the outdoor terrace is very nice.
The hotel has a picturesque beach with a stunning sea.
Totally recommend!”

From the minute you arrive at Porto Galini, it is nothing short of spectacular. Luggage taken from you and taken to your room the minute you arrive, even just the smell in reception was so lovely. Very quick and easy check in. Given a room upgrade, so thank you once again for that very kind gesture. Beautiful superior room with huge balcony and sea view. The grounds of the hotel are spotless and clean. Pool areas are beautiful with plenty of sunbeds and lots of room. No rush to get beds, and free towels provided. Pool bar also serves drinks and food to your sunbed, so no need to even get up. Private beach is breathtaking again with lots of beds and drinks served to your bed. There's also free use of canoes, lilos and paddle boards. We stayed B&B and buffet breakfast was an array of everything you'd want, so much choice from pastries & muffins, to yoghurt and fresh fruit, to meats and cheese and bacon and sausage and made to order omelettes and fresh coffee and juices. Even the seating area for breakfast is just lovely looking over the pool and sea. The evening menus of the different restaurants looked delicious. Free bottled water is given everyday in your room, lovely touch and very appreciated. We didn't use the spa as we were out a lot but it looked beautiful. There is also an indoor pool and sauna and well equipped gym. Hotel is right by a bus stop if you wish to go north to Lefkada or South to Nidri, and only 2 euros each way. You must get the ferry from Nidri, to Meganisi Island only 1 euro 50. It's a 40 min ferry ride to the most beautiful island. Look it up, amazing day out. We hired a motorbike and our whole stay and highly recommend it as lots of coves, beaches and mountain places can be tricky to get to and the bus only goes a certain amount of the way. All the staff here are very kind and welcoming. We have booked to go here again next year because there is simply no where else I want to go, no where beats this place. If you are looked for a non touristy part of Greece that is still traditional go to Lefkada and stay here. It's very rustic, rural and peaceful. It's not a party place. Once again this hotel is truly amazing. Thank you Porto Galini, and we will see you next September:)

It was the 7th time visiting the hotel, as the previous years we had the best experience in the hotel in all sections. Unfortunately this year things changed. Some of previous facilities changed like for example the amenities at the room(some were used when we arrived), towels removed from the beach feeling that there was a beach police, some things that needed renovation especially the antisliders at the steps were almost destroyed and not changed. Most of the staff (same people that working there the previous years) were rude, unhelpful especially the new manager. When we said we have been 7 times here and it was the first time we have this behavior towards us, his answer was “I don’t even care we are always full”… the previous manager was a brilliant person and helpful

Absolutely charming hotel. It looks like a small Greek village with lots of greenery. It is spacious, built in a cascading pattern on a hill, which in our opinion only adds to its beauty. It did not feel crowded at all. The room was perfectly clean and fully functional, we had no problems. The staff was helpful, nice and willing at any time of the day. The hotel's facilities are great - several parking lots, swimming pools, fitness, wellness, restaurants, playground, sun loungers by the pools and on the beach, private beach, paddleboard free for rent, there is nothing missing here. Both breakfast and dinner were great and fresh.
The hotel application for ordering services worked perfectly. The beach bar had an above-standard menu and everything we ordered tasted great. We also received a packed breakfast when we left early in the morning. An absolutely perfect experience. Thank you very much for everything. If we return to Lefkada, it will definitely be to this hotel.
We wish all the best to everyone of the hotel staff!

Fantastic hotel and facilities. Food was one of the best buffet style offerings we’ve ever stayed in, well cooked, presented and fresh. With a counter you can order certain dishes and wait for them to be cooked. There are different theme nights each day. The pools are all fab with kids ones available. The gym is small but well equipped with towels and water available. It is a little out of the way and not too close to towns and tavernas, but the bus stop is right outside and they do run on time - take a hint Britain. The hotel is built on a hill and is a sprawling complex, but simply ask to be driven in their electric buggys and they are there within minutes to help. If I were to gripe a little there was no decaf coffee or milk available in the rooms but I did take some milk from breakfast and store in the room fridge. We were promised entertainment every night but only had that on two nights a week, and it was the same performers each time. Also there was free drinking water at breakfast but not at dinner, this had to be purchased. The staff were professional and couldn’t do enough for us. Nikos in the restaurant was great and chatty. The young lady on the kayaks on the beach was more than helpful and funny. I wish I’d asked her name. All in all a fantastic hotel, fantastic staff, great food and really enjoyed our stay.

A truly wonderful holiday at a great hotel Reception roomy and staff always responsive. Lovely pools with nice decking area with loungers always available, the beach is delightful with crystal clear water great for snorkeling with many fish. Get there early to get a front row seat! Nice to sit at the beach in the evening and watch the moon rise whilst watching the party boat sail. Breakfast always nice with a busy service but always tables available, the evening buffet was a very good standard and staff run brillianty by Chrysta (sorry if spelling not correct) , reasonably priced wine , Retsina a good value. Great desserts and ice cream. We used the Greek themed restaurant for lunch a couple of times , food was again very good and a relaxed and chilled location. Pool bar staff are again excellent, chilled and shaded for lunch and a great evening location to play card games etc. Lyn had my evening drinks sorted by day two one of many wonderful and polite members of staff At the sea the lifeguard who was very kind and attanetive to the sea conditions looks after the SUP Boards and Kayaks, we managed to learn how to Paddle in the time we were there which was great fun. There is a private boat charter available but the price if horrific in comparison to going into Ndiri and using them there. Nice room (37) with a great view and balcony for evening drinks. Hired a car and went to various beaches all very crowded and none as good as the beach hotel which is private. Visited a sunset bar and restaurant on west side of island and spent a few hours in Lefkada Town. Got the passenger ferry which is very cheap with great views to Meganisi. The sunset cafe in Meganisi provides tremendous views and picture options. Also had a drive to the village of Karya the drive back to the hotel over the mountain (pretty easy drive) provides a great photo opportunity towards the drive back to Ndiri A great place to relax with very good staff

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the accommodation and service we received during our recent stay. We arrived at 8:30 p.m. with a confirmed reservation for an executive suite at the rate of €500. However, upon check-in, we were given an isolated cottage instead. This substitution was entirely unsatisfactory: the accommodation featured a very steep staircase and only an uncomfortable sofa bed for our daughter, which was not appropriate for the standard of room we had booked and paid for. When we raised our concerns at reception, the staff member was unfortunately unhelpful and the manager simply informed us that there was no availability. No alternative solutions, compensation, or even a small gesture of goodwill were offered to acknowledge the inconvenience caused. This response was highly disappointing and not in keeping with the level of service expected from an establishment of your category. Given these circumstances, I respectfully request appropriate compensation for the downgrade and the poor service received. I trust you will take this matter seriously and ensure that future guests do not encounter similar experiences. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, Dr Lauro D’Angelo

One of the best hotel in Greece for beach & seaside and def the best one in Lefkada. Everything was spotless and very well maintained; the rooms, the amenities, all facilities, the beach. The breakfast is great and as well the food at bars. Strongly recommend.

We had a fantastic time here, loved every minute ❤️ the sea is so crystal clear, swam with the fishes everyday! All the staff are pleasant and helpful. We used the hotel's taxi service to take us into Nydri a few times in the evenings such a beautiful place to visit and in the day Nydri waterfalls is a must! I enjoyed working out in the gym 3x. Enjoyed a lovely relaxing massage with my husband - highly recommend 👌 Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and I can't wait to go back!!
