Poda Boutique Hotel

We had a jacuzzi in our spacious, spotless, modern room, along with a stunning sea view, and room service was reliable. The pool was clean and well kept, a lovely place to relax. Breakfast had a huge range of fresh, tasty options, and the waiters were friendly and attentive. The hotel’s peaceful setting was still close to what we needed. Tanna made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. She was so helpful and attentive, and her sister at the restaurant was warm and made sure our wishes were taken care of. We had an unforgettable stay at the Poda Boutique Hotel this summer and would definitely return. Highly recommend it!

The music from the bars across the street was a little louder at night than we would have liked. Still, we were really glad we stayed. The hotel was clean, the food was consistently good, and everyone on staff was warm and friendly. Tana especially stood out. She checked in each morning to ask how our day had gone after her shift, always smiling, and had useful suggestions for places to eat and visit. She made us feel genuinely welcome and cared for. Honestly, she deserves a raise!

The hammock lounge bed fit all three of us and felt luxurious, so the €50 day price seemed worth it, even though it was expensive. Our waiter was lovely, but the drinks tasted a little watered down. My phone fell into the water through the gap between the hammock and bed. That was my fault, of course, but I’d suggest adding more netting there so it doesn’t happen to someone else.

The beach club access and day beds were free for hotel guests, and the breakfast spread each morning was really good. I spent two nights at the Poda Boutique Hotel, in a modern, clean, and very comfortable room, and the location was perfect for the two beach days I wanted. Tana, the front desk manager, was incredible. She helped me get settled, suggested great restaurants, and arranged a taxi back to the ferry the next day. She’s the star of the hotel, and made my stay fantastic. Ksamil is a beautiful beach town, but it’s also a party spot and tourist destination, like many of the Greek Islands. Music from the clubs on the water could be heard at night. It didn’t bother me, and was muffled in my room. It seemed to stop around 11:30 or midnight. Still, anyone looking to stay right on the water in Ksamil would be hard pressed to do better than Poda.
