Superb stop on Ionian side of Greece
Excellent walkable local beaches - par excellence
Hotel staff at your service . Highly recommend this superb 5 star hotel
Super spacious rooms, amazing attention to detail, pools beautiful and stunning views. The food was a very high standard, especially the breakfast and the pizza evening was excellent.
My 3rd visit a truly exceptional hotel - stunning views, excellent location & beautiful beach 2 minute walk. The pools are just fabulous and shuttle bus to fiskardo excellent (15 min walk as alternative) … one of my favourite places…
Beautiful, modern, chic big rooms. With exceptionally comfy beds. Pool area and bar were great. Lots of sunbeds with plenty of shaded seating and umbrellas. Service for drinks and food was always friendly and prompt. Little walk down to rocky platform with ladders into the sea. Great for snoring

Welcoming and friendly team. Beautiful location which only a couple of minutes from Fiscardo and is located ideally to tour the island.

Our second stay, room a little tired. The breakfast is very good, staff helpful and friendly. We loved the adults only pool.
The only this that spoilt it was the penny pinching attitude to in-room drinks; charging €1 each for tea bags is beyond mean! We went out and bought our own.
Five star resort! Worth the extra cost to feel so well looked after in a well placed place. Beautiful pools, good breakfast and restaurant, excellent service and spa/gym plus more. Close to Fiskardo (free shuttle in). Perfect for couples and extra special occasions.
Awesome hotel in a perfect location !! Beauty is everywhere ! Not
only in the nature surrounding the hotel , but also in every detail in the hotel .

This is a lovely place to stay just make allowances for the slightly chaotic state of the reception. Otherwise the restaurant is lovely with great food, enormous portions. The swimming pools are wonderful and beautifully set up. We didn’t visit the spa so can’t comment. Fiskardo is a charming village to visit with regular shuttles from the hotel.
Absolutely Perfect – 4 Days of Pure Heaven
Emelisse Nature Resort exceeded every expectation and delivered a flawless experience from start to finish. The staff were genuinely warm, attentive, and professional, making us feel welcome and cared for at every moment. The dining experience was exquisite—each meal was a delight, featuring fresh, flavorful dishes in a setting that felt like paradise.
The cleanliness throughout the resort was impeccable, and the attention to detail in the rooms and common areas reflected true pride in service. Whether lounging by the pool, relaxing in our beautifully appointed room, or enjoying the stunning natural surroundings, every moment felt like pure heaven.
Truly an unforgettable stay—we can’t wait to return!
Truly an oasis of a resort! My favorite things were the private beach for swimming, the accessibility to walk into Fiscardo and other neighboring beaches, and the facilities with the pools! I would highly recommend. For being a resort that “has it all” you still have a ton of access to exploring around.
Beautiful location and facilities. The apartment we stayed in was good but I little dark. Staff were almost all excellent one or two less helpful. Not very nice to see staffs dogs being taken to do dog business on the tennis court the day we were planning to play tennis. Not a good look. Staff around main pool excellent.
