Fantastic hotel. Free shuttle bus to the beach is amazing. Hotel staff are friendly and contentious. Nothing was too much trouble. Great selection of food at breakfast. Air con in the room was a lifesaver. Can't fault this hotel at all, just want to go back again.

Great Hotel In Kefalonia
This hotel was the best value for the money that I have ever stayed at on any of the Greek Islands. It is family run so you know that they really care about you. The staff was extremely friendly, the hotel was very clean, the rooms were a good size, the bathrooms were big with good showers. The views at this hotel were amazing. The pool was very good. There was plenty of free parking and they had decent Wi-Fi. They severed a great breakfast with a wide variety of items full of fresh fruit and local foods. When we needed something the service was great. A refrigerator with reasonably priced items included. A nice balcony, The area was in a town called Poros that we found very convenient and very family-friendly. The town had several good restaurants and a nice square next to the beach were al the kids would play at night. Altogether a great experience.

This is a 2* hotel so don't expect more but it was perfect. Amazing views, good, extensive buffet breakfast on the terrace, good size pool with sun beds, bar with snacks, little beach 300m (v steep), great taverna 50m. lovely owners, free shuttle into town. No faults. The bed was hard. The room had kettle and fridge but tea /coffee were not routinely topped up. We did get more on request. No complimentary shampoo. soap and hand wash only. This is not a complaint!

Relaxing and enjoyable stay
Hotel was quiet, with good choices for breakfast, room had balcony with view overlooking the harbour, hotel pool had sunbeds and basic table tennis and billiards and attended bar (though we didn't use)..Up to date books available in breakfast room which was very useful as we got through a lot of reading as we had thunderstorms a couple of days. Steps down short steep slow to two eating taverns both ok, plus other steps down slope to harbour area. Family run who were very helpful and we felt very comfortable whilst staying. Fridge and kettle in room.

A relaxing experience in Kefalonia
Hotel Oceanis is a family run hotel overlooking the port of Poros. Fresh and homemade produce available every morning and the hotel is run by the family whose aim is to ensure everyone has a good time. Poros is away from the hussle and bustle of its next door neighbour of Skala. Poros is the main port town and everyday there is an opportunity to watch a range of sailing boats, yacht and ferries come and go. The hotel is high up on the hillside overlooking the port-but no worries-Peter will drop you off in the town or by the beach and when you are ready to return you just as the restaurant to ring the Oceanis and within minutes they are there to take you back. The swimming area at the Oceanis tracks the sun throughout the day and there is a small swimming pool bar that serves drinks and snacks throughout the day too. This was a perfect spot for a relaxing 12 days in the warmth of the Greek sunshine and family hospitality.

Small friendly hotel with wonderful views
This is a simple hotel with a nice pool overlooking Poros and the bay. It is exceptionally clean, the staff are helpful and breakfast is a varied Greek buffet. It is a steep walk to and from the harbour but the hotel mini bus will take and bring back. If you want a relaxing no frills holiday this is the place.

Superb setting high above Poros town
We stayed here for 8 nights at the beginning of September. Peter met us at the airport and drove us back to the hotel. Our room was quite small, simply furnished but spotlessly clean with a fantastic view overlooking the pool and down to the harbour. Sleep quality was excellent as the beds were comfortable and there was very little noise. The air conditioning was effective and reasonably quiet. The breakfasts were excellent offering a wide selection of breads, cheese ,ham ,eggs cereals and delicious omelettes cooked by Grandma (we think!). There was always lashings of Greek yoghurt and honey and even Turkish Delight if you had room! Access to the town was by some quite steep steps down to the road leading to the harbour (about 10 minutes but longer coming back.) This would not suit everyone but the family were happy to give guests lifts to and from town. The pool was well maintained and there were always spare sunbeds around. A bar was available with drinks and snacks at very fair prices. Peter and Maria were happy to book trips for us and their son even arranged car hire when we had left it too late to book it from the UK. He booked it from Rentcar Kefalonia who turned out to be really easy to deal with (unlike many other companies if reviews are to be believed). There were two tavernas down the path from the swimming pool. Both had fantastic views and served traditional dishes freshly cooked at very reasonable prices, so being outside the town was no problem.

First problem was you need to email the hotel, or you won't have a transfer to your hotel. The breakfast is ok, but don't get to excited. The walk to the harbour with two restaurants and two bars is 5 mins, add another 6-7 mins to the main town. Hotel views and pool and great.

A very clean hotel with a beautiful view of the harbour, approx 15 minutes on foot or 5 min by car from Poros center/ferry. About a 15 min drive to Skala. Very friendly owners! We left our passport at the hotel and only realized when we were already at the airport, husband dropped them off in no time! Breakfast was yummy, especially the cheesy omelette mmm. Clean pool, very accommodating hosts and comfortable rooms. Would definitely stay again!

Nice hotel with a fantastic view
Oceanis is a quaint family run hotel in the small port village of Poros which is about 45 minutes from the airport. The view of the bay is breathtaking. Sitting on the patio watching the yachts coming in to port was very enjoyable. The hotel is a family run business and the staff will go out of their way to make sure you have a great time and get anything you need. We had a slightly complicated itinerary that involved us having to shift dates slightly after we arrived and the hotel was very accommodating. The food that was available was simple but delicious. The best tomato pasta sauce I have had. While the hotel doesnt have many dinner options there are two tavernas that are 1 minute walk away and the village is a short drive away. If you are without a car, like we were, a free shuttle service is available. The beach is a short but steep walk away, for those that like a bit of exercise.The kids were in the pool most of the time but there was also a pool table and table tennis. We didnt make use of them but there were also bicycles available for use.

Exactly what we expected
The hotel is in a great location with amazing views and reasonable roads. The rooms aren't flash, but they provide a good base with air con and the basic amenities. The hotel staff were friendly and happy to help. The pool was clean and made a nice place to sit after a long day hitting the various beaching around the island. A car Is a must for the location however as you would be pretty stranded otherwise.

Wonderful location and excellent service
We were very well looked after at the Oceanis. We were collected at the airport and returned there as part of the service. Maria made sure we were in time for the bus and the ferry for days out. She booked car hire and a boat outing for us. We paid extra (I think) with Expedia for a larger room and we were in the newer part of the hotel with a panoramic view of the Cephalonia coast and to Ithaca and in the distance further islands and the mainland. But all the rooms really have sea views. We were there very early in the season and the hotel was still very quiet. We rather liked that. There are two good restaurants on the doorstep and two more down the hill by the harbour. We didn't have an evening meal further away than that, even though we could have asked for a lift back to the hotel. We didn't go to Cephalonia to sunbathe and we needed a car to see the sights - Maria arranged that at a very reasonable price. Without a car, it's difficult to move far. But Poros is no worse in that respect than other parts of Cephalonia. There is a bus to Skala and on to Argostoli, once each way per day, I think. But no buses to anywhere else, unless that changes as the season progresses. The well-known Capt Vangelis cruises will call on their way north to Fiskardo and Ithaka. We enjoyed a day trip to Ithaka. We filled up a fortnight very happily. In May, the weather is good for sightseeing but perhaps not so god for the beach and swimming!"

We only stayed one night before going with the ferry the next day, it was so far one of our favorite places in Greece so far. It was just before the tourist season so nice and calm. It's up a hill so the view is amazing. Breakfast was nice and we enjoyed the facilities. Recommend to stay here!

C'è una piscina con numerosi lettini e con un piccolo bar aperto con vista sulla piscina e sul mare. Tutto il personale è discreto e disponibile. Le stanze sono pulite e ben curate, e ci si sente a proprio agio. Consigliatissimo.

Albergo molto tranquillo, posizione strategica.
L'Albergo è situato sopra il golfo di Poros. Ottima posizione e particolarmente tranquillo. Non manca niente: piscina, taverne ottime a pochi metri. La camera assegnatami era molto confortevole: letto comodo, terrazzo vista mare è una splendida doccia. Unico neo: la colazione non era molto varia; tante cose ma sempre le stesse. Qualche Tortina per variare, magari.... Motivo per non dare l'eccellenza.
