“The hotel was a little grubby at first and we had to ask for our shower to be cleaned. The food was not hot enough and the breakfast was very limited. However, the quality of the evening meals was excellent. The hotel staff were really great and it really felt like a family hotel. It was clear that the team were trying to please but keep the costs down. The view from the back of the hotel looking over the water was stunning. The sports team were great, very friendly, encouraging and informative. The equipment was a good standard and appeared to be up-to-date.”

“Food luke warm at breakfast and evening meal, although it was tasty Poor on-water tuition- if any, land based tuition good. 1 1/2 hour lunch break for beach staff, could have been staggered so that beach activities were still open. On strong afternoon wind beach staff were slow to catch boats returning to shore, (they would have a shock if they worked for one of the top 2 activity holiday companies!) Had to use taxi at 20 euros round trip to town on non food evenings. Lovely sandy quiet beach. Very clean and well kept family hotel.”

“Super week staying at Kostas Beach House Lixouri. Kostas was extremely friendly and helpful. Facilities at the Hotel were superb. Teenagers loved all the water sports and learnt to sail and windsurf. Instructors were organised and knowledgeable”

“Very friendly helpful staff both from Trek & the Hotel at Paliki Bay & a great family holiday. We were in a group of 15 (3 families of 5) & all were keen to use facilities. I appreciate that often other families aren’t the same but it was frustrating at times (mainly for beginners amongst us) when lessons used all the available kit meaning there was non available for those wanting just time on the water. The situation was also complicated by being nearly at the back of the sign up queue (by virtue of sitting on the far side of the terrace at the briefing). This could be easily resolved by a few more Topaz boats, a few more windsurf boards & sails. These could be shared between the 2 sites depending on predicted/actual levels of demand each week. That said, we all managed to get on the water & had a lovely week. With a bit more kit, we would definitely consider a return.”

“Our whole family had the most brilliant time at Lixouri bay. From booking until check out; everything was seamless. Our holiday was equally relaxing and active with both ourselves and our girls having learnt new skills taught to us by attentive and enthusiastic instructors. We loved our week in Kefalonia and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or book again!”

“This was a more affordable holiday than the bigger companies we had been with before (Mark Warner/Neilsen) and we liked the relaxed atmosphere, were impressed with the admin before our holiday and the resort staff were friendly & helpful. Villa Mitis (Kefalonia) was a lovely spacious villa close to the beach. A lovely relaxing week.”

“We have had a fantastic week at the Lixouri Beach club. The beach club staff could not have been friendlier and they were very skilled teaching us a range of new water sports. Nothing was too much trouble! The family who run the hotel are incredibly welcoming and the food is delicious. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Trek Adventures and this is definitely one of the best holidays we've ever had.”

“We had an absolutely amazing week with Trek at the Lixouri Beach Club. We were seriously impressed with the staff and equipment - the staff were enthusiastic, knowledgeable and great teachers, and there was a range of kit to suit all abilities. The staff at Lazaratos Hotel really made the holiday as well - so friendly and welcoming, and the best food! We're already wondering when we can come back, so thank you!”

“Friendly & Knowledgeable staff, couldn't do enough for you & very hard working. We were staying at the Paliki Beach Club, but using the watersports package @ Lixouri Beach Club. I would recommend the Lixouri Beach Club just for the size & facilities of the beach. All the equipment was well maintained & seemed new. Staff in both Hotels were very helpful & friendly. We stayed at Villa Fedra, which was fabulous. A few maintenance issues needed to be ironed out with the AC remotes, toilet seats & a few new kitchen utensils could be added. But nothing that stopped us enjoying our stay. The Trek Adventure staff in the UK recommended a car which we definitely needed to get to the other beach club, & we used it to see other parts of the Island which we would recommend.”

“Hotel. Fabulous! Family run, so welcoming and service was fantastic. Room was very comfortable and clean. Food was excellent and plenty of it and reasonably priced. Trek Beach Club. Possibly our error, but we went to this beach club to do paddle sports not sailing/windsurfing and we were limited by the weather on some days. It was frustrating that we couldn't paddle at the time of the day when the conditions were best - first thing/last thing, as the beach didn't open until 10am and closed at 6pm. Would have been useful if the information given has been clearer that paddle sports may be limited by the weather conditions in this location. Also, there is no mention of the hill walk down to the beach club or the lack of toilets there. The beach bar, run by the hotel, was great, however it would have been nice if food was available there at lunch times. Equipment. The only kayaks available were double kayaks, these were not suitable for one person to paddle. They were also in poor condition and the paddles provided were very old. The iSUPs available for the first part of our week were in poor condition with several broken fins, missing D-rings and heavy paddles. Thankfully the club received a delivery of brand new Fat Stick iSUPs half way through our stay. These were of excellent quality with great accessories and carbon paddles, they even came with seats so that they could be converted to a sit-on Kayak, which took away the issue with the double kayaks. I just hope that the new equipment is looked after better than the previous kit. Beach Club Staff. All the staff were extremely helpful, approachable and friendly. They made the sure that all guests were safe but were able to have fun and a good experience. UK Support. We had to change the date of this holiday twice, we originally booked in 2019 for 2020. The support given by the UK team was excellent and we are grateful that we were able to do this. Overall. We had a great holiday and we have recommended this beach club/hotel to our friends who have older kids that love sports and would like to learn windsurfing. It is possibly not the right location for us as paddlers, but we were able to take advantage of the calmer days and got a lot out of the holiday. Thank you very much.”

“Well, our trip to Kefalonia with Sea trek was just amazing. It was so easy from the airport to Villa Eila where we stayed. A lovely short ferry crossing to Luxouri then a 5 minute drive to the villa, stopping at an easy supermarket for supplies. The villa was outstanding, spotlessly clean, modern, breathtaking views and an amazing Pool for the early morning dip. The staff at the beach club were amazing and made you feel at home and comfortable immediately. Plenty or beach beds with shade if you prefer to watch the watersports rather than partake. So many Taverna's with amazing healthy food and great beaches locally for hanging out. Can't wait to go back! Such a great company and island!!”

This is my fourth trip - see you again soon and thank you!”

“This is a unique and really special travel company. And we couldn’t recommend them more highly. A truly wonderful two weeks in Greece, flotilla then beach club. Small, friendly, attentive, energetic and at no time do you feel like cattle like you do with big tour operators. We are definitely booking again.”
