    Had a wonderful experience here! The location, food, rooms, amenities, and staff were great! Christian and Tana were so helpful and amazing. Loved having breakfast on the balcony with such a beautiful view! Can’t wait to return!

    The Poda Boutique Hotel is well located in Ksamil and the rooms are well equiped, big and very clean. We enjoyed the private beach with the cristal blue water, the pool, the bar and the restaurant. The half-boarded formula proposes various menus including seafood and the meals are very good. But the best of all is the hotel staff that is always careful and make you feel a special guest. A huge thanks to Tanna and her sister for their kindness and to really make this stay a wonderful memory!

    There’s nothing I did not dislike.

    The breakfast was fresh, nice, everything was available. Dinner menu was amazing like a 5 star restaurant. The hotel is very clean and provides everything for guests. The beach and sea was amazing, white sand and clean water. Everything was perfect and excelent! Tanna was amazingly helpful and nice to us. She did her best to please us. We drove 4 hours by car to Ksamil from Tiran. She texted us to check we are ok during our drive to Ksamil. She even went to market for me to buy a disc cotton and did not even ask its price. If I travel there, I will go just for Tanna’s amazing service.

    It was our 2nd or 3rd day of stay, when they cleaned up our room, they didn’t sweep the floor. But rest was cleaned and beddings/towels are changed.

    I like the property because it’s convenient location. The beach is just in front of the property.

    The hotel has great installations in front of the beautiful beach. Restaurant and Beach Bar are also top. The personal is very kind and always willing to help and make you feel confortable. Specially Tana, the recepcionist, she was always taking care of us, giving tourism advices and it made the whole stay unique. We really enjoyed our time in Poda hotel.

    The breakfast was yummy, but there could be more hot food options to choose from. It was mostly pastries available. The non-VIP sunbeds (around pool and on beach) appeared not to be cleaned on a regular basis.

    Prime location on the beach, where all the action is at night, plenty of restaurants and bars just metres away - with only a short walk to supermarkets too. The staff were the friendliest of anywhere I can remember, knowledgable and always on hand to help when required. The hotel has basically everything you need. Prime beach location with free sunbeds. You can also pay more for VIP, but in both cases we got priority access over non-hotel guests. The dinner on half-board was 100% worth it, 4 courses of excellent food, lots of choice.

    The service in the beach has room for enhancements. In certain occasions we had to wait long times to get a hold of a waiter. Not a big deal, but it can improve. The room has good sound isolation but sometimes music from the beach clubs nearby can penetrate it but usually beach clubs turn down the music by midnight.

    The cleanness of the room was impeccable. I had a nice room with view. The service at the hotel was great with highlight for Tanna, which is fabulous and do everything she can to assist the guests.

    “Welcome to Poda!” This gem of a hotel is hands down the best in Ksamil. Super friendly highly trained staff. Rooms with ocean view and extremely clean and comfortable. Restaurant had a variation of fresh seafood and very tasty dishes. The Bar hosted nightly fun, dance atmosphere with a DJ. Tons of water activities and located near historic locations for day trips! The customer service provided by the staff lead by Tana was definitely 5 stars! We enjoyed our stay tremendously and will return in the future. Highly recommended. Special thanks to Tana, Ani, Aldo,Biondi ,kevin..

    Breakfast was fine for non-vegans (they cook fresh egg dishes on request), however the vegan options can be improved. Additionally, it will be better if the pastry dishes are labeled (so you know what you get). Hosts were very friendly and helpful, however we wished they had name tags since there were many and we can’t remember all of them.

    Amazing location - free front row sunbeds, free towels (every day) and only few steps away from one of the best beaches in Ksamil. Unbeliavable hospitality - always available on whats app and happy to help with anything. Four course dinner menus were very tasty (a single vegetarian option included) and they are happy to prepare any meal on request (additional cost). Also they are happy to arrange dining by the sea. Friendly cats available for petting :) Do recommend and will definitely come back.

    Staying at Poda was pure pleasure. We loved the location, the beachside restaurant and lounge bar where the food was fantastic. The best part of Poda though was the staff especially Mikea, Roli, Tana and Ani. Thanks for looking after us so well.

    It's true that the music is loud from neighbouring bars and doesn't stop until midnight. This won't suit everyone.. plus AC is a little temperamental

    A nice hotel right on the beach but what really made it special was Tana! She is such an ASSET and made our stay really memorable. She was always available, friendly, helpful and arranged a boat tour for us and helped with taxis. A beautiful person, wouldn't have been the same without her. The breakfast is OK, needs a little variety from day to day. The room is comfortable and the first one was very spacious (102)

    Breaskfast was a little weak. Pastries, which I believe are less healthy, were most of the breakfast. Olive was not present at the breakfast at some days.

    Beach was excellent. And the view at the room.
