We enjoyed our time at Hotel Emelisse. It’s a relaxing and peaceful place. All the staff were friendly and accommodating. Lots of delicious fresh food choices for breakfast, served on the terrace with a spectacular view. We loved our ‘partial’ sea view room. It was very quiet and serviced every morning while we were at breakfast. The adults only pool was a fantastic spot to read or watch the comings and goings of the boats. We spent a day on the hotel speed boat and were glad we took the opportunity. We also rented the hotel car for the day which meant we saw a bit more of this beautiful island. We would also recommend the spa treatments. Fabulous experience! Fiscardo is a short 10 minute walk away down a dusty path. We preferred the longer walk, through the trees and along the sea edge. We didn’t do either walk in the dark. We caught the free shuttle bus in the evenings. This was sometimes a bit busy. There is a lovely little rocky beach just down the road. Hotel provides towels. Fiscardo is postcard perfect. A fantastic resort. Low key but very charming. We enjoyed several restaurants all set around the harbour which provided the most perfect backdrop for a romantic meal. Reluctantly, I decided on a 4 star review rather than 5 because I do think the hotel can do better. We experienced 2 weddings during our stay. This meant the adults only pool was closed all day on both occasions and the second wedding was very loud until very late. Advance warning would be courteous. Weddings must be a money spinner but it is at the cost of the regular guests comfort. Coffee pods are not replenished unless you ask. The food in the restaurant wasn’t amazing and our food was served separately on one occasion. The staff, who work very hard, tended to gather around the bar towards the end of service and sometimes enjoyed a few too many shots!?! Although, maybe, deserved it isn’t what some guests would expect from a 5 star resort. Fortunately we prefer a resort with a bit of character and wouldn’t hesitate to return.
