A wonderfully relaxing spot to spend a holiday! We stayed at the end of the season, and it was relaxed and quiet, exactly what we wanted. The beach is mere steps away and it wasn't crowded, there's a pool and sunny terrace for lounging, and a shaded bar/restaurant to chill in. Staff were all wonderful and attentive, food was brilliant and we'd definitely come back! I think next time we might hire a car, as there's probably plenty nearby to explore that was slightly too far away (and hilly) to walk to. But if you're happy to just read and chill there's no need to. Wonderful, thank you so much!

Great family run business, the rooms were lovely and the beds super comfortable. The pool area was great, lots of sun beds and the local beach was beautiful. Great to be able to borrow a umbrella from the hotel. Taxi to airport €30. At at the restaurant a couple for times and the food was delicious, breakfast was basic but sufficient. Would definitely recommend

Peaceful area to stay next to a small beach.
Very quiet little hotel, rooms basic but beds very comfortable. Only 2 things I would have liked were a plug for the sink and a kettle / cups for tea or coffee in the morning. The staff are lovely and the food is good. I swept up my hair from the floor after brushing my hair & noticed the floor had made my hand dirty so not sure how often the floors are mopped. Clean towels every day was great! We hired a car through the owner of the hotel for 3 days & saw a lot of this pretty island but a 45 minute uphill walk in hot temperatures to the village of Spartia is too far for a lot of people so you are rather captive without a car. In all a very relaxing time but September is known for wasps so be wary as they are a nuisance. The beach is not the best but a lot of people use it to swim so entirely a matter of opinion. There are some lovely beaches around with top quality water but you need transport - taxis available but fairly expensive to use regularly. A shuttle service to take people up to the village and back would be a great idea.

Nice quiet and comfortable location
We went as two couples and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. we used this as a base to visit the island and were always pleased to return. Facilities are more than adequate and the food was good. We found it relaxing and the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating.

Quiet hotel away from busier resorts.
We chose Panas because it offered a quieter, more relaxing holiday than any of the bigger resorts. We were lucky to have a room with a lovely view of the sea and the sunrise every morning. The owners and staff were very friendly and the provision of a fridge in the room allowed us to store cold drinks, a boon in the very warm weather. The food was generally good, especially the fresh fish. Unfortunately, there is little variety in the species available compared with some years ago due to overfishing. Farmed bass and bream are now the staple fish. Surprisingly, the only other restaurant nearby overlooked its fish despite claiming to be a fish restaurant. You should be aware that the nearest village, Spartia, is a prohibitively long and steep walk away. You really do need a car if you don't want to be confined to the hotel and beach. Spartia does have a very nice, family run taverna which made a welcome alternative to our hotel. Because of its remoteness and the island's small and winding roads, getting to other parts of Kefalonia is a challenge but worth it. Mirtos beach and Assos in the north west are truly beautiful. Beware of you use Google Maps to navigate that it can direct you on to some tiny roads and seems unable to differentiate between a metalled road and a dirt track! Overall, this hotel and location suited our need for a quiet and relaxing resort on a beautiful island.

Wonderfully Relaxing
Lovely traditional hotel in a beautiful secluded location. Run by Nana Panas and her family who could not be more welcoming and helpful. 30 metres from a sandy beach with crystal clear shallow water perfect for swimmers and non-swimmers alike. Great freshly cooked food at good prices. A car is ideal due to the location but Taxis are readily available from reception. Thoroughly recommended as a welcome alternative to typical resort hotels.

Far from the madding crowd.
Lovely little family run hotel yards away from sea and little beach. Our room was fine all stone quite cave like,clean,basic did have a fridge which was very handy.Definitely need transport as quite a way from tourist areas.hired a car thanks to Nana! Drove all over the island and highly recommend getting the ferry to Zante from the tiny port round the corner from hotel. If you dont mind being away from it all its perfect and the family were so lovely and would do all they could to help. Local fishermen go off on their boats from the beach and gather at the little shelter near the car park. We had a great time so if your not too bothered about luxury its a perfect Base.

Nice hotel, close to beach
We stayed one week at Panas, its a lovely place & we would definitely go back, right above a nice beach, not far from airport, (25 euro) but quite remote, you can walk up steep hill to another beach & village of Spartia & you can park hire car at hotel & get around the island Rooms are nice, basic but clean & with balcony over looking the sea, people are lovely, Michaelis is wonderful, everyone friendly & very helpful, food is very good & there is another taverna right opposite

A lovely spot with all thats needed
Early June this was exactly what we wanted - a quiet spot with very basic but clean comfortable rooms and helpful staff. Just above the beach, with hardly anyone there, it was unspoilt and a beautiful spot for bathing. Very difficult to find by car -but you do need a car to get about & see the island. The restaurant was perfectly fine for all meals - though some fresh fruit at breakfast would be nice & more local produce. Plenty of options for evening meals within 10 - 15 minutes drive. The place is well run, problems sorted quickly, and staff very helpful. Might become noisy if hotel full - hard stone floors, noisy plumbing etc - but idyllic for us when so quiet early in the season

Perfect peace
My stay at Panas Hotel exceeded my expectations. The location is quiet and out of the way; situated in it's own rather extensive grounds, with gardens, a panoramically sited swimming pool and a shaded outdoor restaurant. If you're after peace and quiet, as I was, this is the perfect place to stay. The family, headed by Nana, who run the hotel, could not be more charming, helpful and caring. Rooms are basic but very acceptable, cleaned daily and my balcony had lovely views of the garden and the sea. The little beach is a few steps away with easily accessible sea and the views of the bay are spectacular at any time of the day. I couldn't have asked for a better holiday but it's not for those looking for night life and entertainment.

Peaceful location
I stayed for 5 nights with a friend in July 2012 and we really enjoyed our stay at the Panas Hotel. The family who run the hotel are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. The home cooked food and vegetables from the garden were delicious. The swimming pool with views on to the sea was great as was being a minute's walk from the local beach. You do need to hire a car to get around but this was easy to do through the hotel.

Perfect Stay
This is a lovely family run hotel with superb service. Great swimming pool and two minute walk from the beach. Very clean and food is traditional Greek cuisine all homemade. We will definitely return. We stayed for a week and felt we could have stayed longer. Cannot say enough about how good this hotel is.

No value for money
The strongest point is the location-by the beach, crystal clear water, polite personnel. However, the building is old, poor construction quality and typically boring breakfast. It's impossible to survive in the rooms without the air condition always on.

Eine wunderschöne Anlage und ein familiär geführtes Hotel in dem wir uns rundum wohlgefühlt haben! Haben wir noch nie so erlebt!

Hotel curato e ben inserito nell'ambiente naturale
Molto bella la possibilità di fare colazione/pranzare con vista sul mare. Anche la nostra camera aveva vista mare. La camera aveva un bagno con un unico neo: cattivo scolo acqua; per il resto, niente da dire sul livello di pulizia: molto buono. Da sottolineare che l'hotel non è vicino alla capitale, raggiungibile comunque in 15 minuti.

Poche parole per definirlo: ottima qualità, ottimo prezzo, a partire dalla colazione, fino alla pulizia della camere e tutto il resto. L'unico appunto è che bisogna avere la macchina, altrimenti non si gode appieno delle opportunità dell'isola.
