Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Families and couples looking for a secluded setting within Mediterranean greenery will enjoy San Nicolas Resort Hotel. Guests can enjoy a private beach area, a pool complex for all ages, and views of neighbouring Ionian islands. However, its distance from major urban centres requires a private vehicle for exploration.
Guests score it 9.6 out of 10 — the average across the 4 hotels we list on Lefkada is 9.2.
What Guests Loved
- The resort's elevated position provides clear sightlines toward Kephalonia and Ithaca. This orientation ensures that most guest rooms and communal terraces overlook the sea, offering a consistent connection to the coastal landscape.
- The hotel maintains a dedicated beachfront section equipped with its own bar facilities. This allows guests to transition from the property to the water without navigating public crowds, providing a more controlled and quiet environment.
Things to Consider
- Located in the quiet area of Mikros Gialos, the property is removed from the high-energy nightlife and extensive shopping of Lefkada Town. Guests seeking a bustling urban atmosphere will find the commute relatively long.
- Due to the island's geography and the hotel's specific placement, public transport options are limited in the immediate vicinity. Renting a car is necessary for those who wish to visit other beaches or historical sites across Lefkada.

What really stood out was the staff—everyone was friendly and welcoming, especially Leo who was always very attentive and ready to help with everything we needed.

“Amazing vacation. Boutique hotel. Very high quality. Lovely staff with excellent service. They did everything to ensure we had the ultimate vacation. The beach and pool are simply beautiful. The rooms are large. Big and comfortable beds.”
“Amazing place, beautiful views. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We rented a boat from the hotel to better explore the sights, the captain Leo was the most remarkable man we have ever met, he made the experience unforgettable for us. Thank you Leo!”
“The best hotel I’ve ever stayed at in Greece! 😍 The view was absolutely breathtaking — the perfect place to relax and enjoy the day. The breakfast was delicious, with a generous variety of fresh and tasty options. Lunch was just as impressive — the dishes looked amazing and tasted even better! What truly made the stay unforgettable was the staff: incredibly friendly, helpful, and always present when you needed anything. Their hospitality made us feel genuinely welcome. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Greece. A truly wonderful experience from start to finish! 🌟”
“Stayed here for a 7 days relaxing holiday with my partner. Fantastic location, with clear blue water to swim in alongside the fish. It didn't feel overcrowded, and never needed to race to get a sunbed. The staff were very friendly, polite and welcoming. Food was lovely, good breakfast selection and drinks. The swimside activities to rent such as paddle boards really added to the experience. Couple of small things that could be improved. The first were the cocktails. I understand the staff were not trained in this, but given this is a 4-star, I would have expected the resort to ensure a trained member of staff was available. I had two cocktails during my visit, both were disappointing and I didn't order again. I didn't appreciate not being able to use the fridge in the room (unless I paid for the mini bar). This didn't feel welcoming and meant we couldn't fully chill some items we brought. The beach bar didn't sell small snacks such as crisps, biscuits or peanuts. Not a big issue, but given we couldn't bring outside food into this area, there were times I fancied something small, but the bar menu only catered to larger meals. Meaning I had to return to my room to get a snack. Also, a suggestion would be to add signs about tissue paper in the bin in the rooms, as were didn't realise this was the case until we asked reception. Overall, we did really enjoy our stay, and would absolutely return.”
