Leivatho Hotel met all our personal criteria: good location and prime view, fine sense of design and architecture, green areas, attentive and friendly personnel, large beds with sleep-friendly mattresses, good nearby infrastructure with good taverns, a non-crowded sandy beach (Avithos Beach) located nearly at the door and last but not least ... SUSTAINABILITY We like the hotel's ambitious environmental engagement (supposedly pretty rare in Greek tourism so far). Suggestions for further improvements: Why not become “plastic-free” (the beautyful island partly sinks into plastic waste, you can find plastic bottles seaming roads, covering fields, waiting in dry waterbeds just to be washed into the Ionian Sea by the next autumn rain). Why not strictly use paper straws, offer honey and butter from local acriculture in glass cups? Why not provide a charging station for electric cars (we saw more of them than expected)? CULINARY The rich breakfast offered some typical greek elements and is fine, if your definition of the perfect breakfast is not equivalent to fancy bread. Since we've had outstanding nearby taverns (like Avithos Preview) we didn‘t even try the hotel's cuisine. But we liked their tasty smoothies, welcome-juice and the free accessable flavored water. WIFI Even if full WIFI access is not granted all time in all studios (bugging Youtube-loving teenagers) the hotel complex always provides free accesses, e.g. in the lounge. WEBSITE COMMUNICATION and EXPECTATIONS Concerning the Hotel's communication and in this regard potentially raised expectations: please don't build on an expansive pool or cold, sterile, polished architectural magazine-like perfectionism. If you can live with a small (but neat) pool and overlook tiny ravages of time flaws you can have a great relaxing time in this resort. So, why a 5 star rating? Despite the above-mentioned minor things that could easily be fixed or improved, we love the hotel's overall package (attitude, design and staff). We would choose Leivatho Hotel again at any time.
