“Our holiday in Stira Bay fell well below our expectations based on the advertising and reviews. This is a shared hotel where beyond beach guests are in the minority. This was certainly not made clear in the advertising. This made the shared areas such as the beach and pool very busy. It also included locals who were not guests using the facilities at the hotel. This meant that ‘sunbed wars’ were alive and kicking throughout our stay. It also shares the one and only tennis court, so despite multiple attempts, we were always told that it was in use. Table tennis was hidden in what felt like a storage facility next to the bike shed. The hotel itself is best described as shabby. Our room was clean but small and very dark. Not the glorious sea views as advertised. We were supplied with one beach towel each for the whole week with a deposit of 5 euros each. They could have walked around on their own by the end of the week!! As for the beyond beach inclusive activities… all classes were booked for the week by the time we got away from the waiver signing queue. They did try to facilitate some extra sessions but the bottom line was they didnt have enough equipment or staff to cover the number of guests. We had one beginner windsurfing session where we had to share boards and one beginner sailing session put on with one boat between 5. The reality of this 90 minute session was 5 mins each on the water with an instructor where we all got to hold the tiller extension. Again, not the ‘building in skills’ throughout the week that is advertised. We are keen cyclists and although we did enjoy a few mountain bike rides we did not feel that the bikes were a priority. The rides were short and there was an attempt to book a longer ride but the never came to fruition as the bike guy was needed on the beach! We had hoped for a multi sport activity holiday. The reality was this seemed to cater best for experienced sailors and windsurfers. Overall we came home feeling very disappointed and will not be booking with Beyond Beach again.”

“We had a great time at Stira! The hotel was great with lovely sea views. The BB staff are super friendly and fun. We are big water sports funs and we were not disappointed! We wingfoiled and windsurfed. The wind conditions were great and we always felt secured in the water. If you want to relax and have fun I 100% recommend this. Special thanks to Ollie our wing instructor for the great tips!”

“We loved the beautiful Styra Bay in Evia with our boys 14 and 18. It’s a brilliant family holiday as everyone can do their own thing but it’s small enough that you know where everyone is and you can easily join up to do things together too. The optional clinics provide gentle tuition for those keen to learn new skills and are tailored to the needs of the group. And if you just want to grab some kit and go out on the water, you can be confident knowing that the safety team are around to support you. But what makes this holiday truly special are the Beyond Beach staff, who are fun, friendly and extremely helpful. They go out of their way to ensure everyone has a brilliant time and nothing is too much trouble. Between us we enjoyed so many activities from sailing, windsurfing and winging, to biking, table tennis, fitness classes, snorkelling and the group paddle. The staff are able to advise you on the best kit to take for the conditions and your level and without exception do all the hard work so you can just go and enjoy yourself! I especially loved the fact that within just two minutes of leaving my room, I could be swimming in the sea with the many coloured fish. The dedicated kids and teens meets at the start of the week are perfect for breaking down barriers and helping the kids and young people make friends in a gentle way. We also loved the close proximity to the town - just a stroll along the beach to a variety of friendly tavernas and restaurants. We enjoyed the inclusive BBQs on the beach too at sundown. The bar staff were all so lovely and friendly too and it was great to play cards over a drink or bite to eat just seconds from the beach. We’d had a difficult year and this was the tonic we all needed. Thank you to all the staff at Beyond Beach for a wonderful holiday.”

“Our second BB holiday, and first time at Lixouri Bay. We had a fantastic week. We were a group of 8, with 4 teenage children (17 - 19 yr olds). Beyond Beach has something for everyone, you can just sit, relax and enjoy a good book and occasionally take a swim/head out on a paddle board or you can enjoy all the watersports activities available, from 10 to 6, all week long. The watersports team are always friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic - nothing is ever too much trouble and they are there to make sure you have a great time, and pick up some new skills along the way. Alongside the water sports there are teenage games and beach volley ball, and Yoga, not forgetting the memorable beach bites in the beach bar - plenty of opportunities to get chatting to the other guests if desired. All in the environment of a small, family run hotel, where the hotel staff are the perfect hosts. We loved the food at the evening meals - so tasty! Special mention to Dinos, who goes above and beyond! As a holiday option with teenagers it works brilliantly, something for everyone to enjoy, and all organised in a relaxed, easygoing way!”

“A really great holiday. We did a week of flotilla sailing and it was everything we could hope for. Paul and Chris were great leaders and everything was well organised. We were not very experienced but they were reassuring and supportive so by the end we were much more confident. The sailing is beautiful.”

“Our second BB holiday. Last year was incredible in Lixouri Bay, Greece - super chilled and fun with plenty to do and lovely staff and families. It was so good we nearly went there again but instead this year we went to Vaujany in the Alps for a different type of adventure. There are SO many activities to choose but Freek and Eliza at the chalet were always on hand to help recommend, organise and book them for us. We did mountain biking, mountain walks, white water rafting, zip lines, skate parks, the incredible Via Ferrata, paddle boarding, swimming, table tennis, boules.. the list goes on.... and there were lots of other activities we didn't have time for that we will have to come back and do another time! There are great experiences and new challenges for all - young and old. Our 12 yo son loved every minute, made lots of new friends and, like last year in Greece, it has been a hugely positive experience for him. The chalet was beautiful and all the other families were very friendly - there is a good community spirit about the place. There is a beautiful garden to relax in after a long day too. Thanks so much to everyone at BB.. always going above and beyond to ensure a wonderful time is had by all. Keep up the amazing work and we look forward to our next holiday with you! X”

“Another fabulous holiday with Beyond Beach - just back from our first visit to Stira Bay. Fantastic weather for sailing and windsurfing, brilliant hotel set up, great mountain bikes - something for everyone. We had the best time and my kids have already asked to come back again next year! Boys were also happy to complete their RYA level 2. Thank you to the whole team.”

“Would rather not tell everyone how fabulous these holidays are, but genuinely we have (again) had the best time. A group of 2 families, variable ages. Everyone had fun, so much to do. An amazing team running the beach and the hotel. We will no doubt be back next year.”

“We had a great week: it was relaxed, friendly, sociable, fun and just easy- what a holiday should be! Not even a shortage of loungers :-) no stress at all! The staff are all lovely and the location is fabulously close to the town for lunch or evening meals. This was our first time with Beyond Beach and it won’t be our last!”

“This was our 4th year of going to the Lixouri Beach Club - fantastic as always. The Beyond Beach team are super friendly, really knowledgeable and happy to help with all the little things that make the holiday so much fun. The hotel family are the nicest people and are a real example of what to expect from the Kefalonians - warm & welcoming so it's always a real pleasure to return. We're not typically a year on year repeat holiday family but this just cannot be beaten.”

“From the moment we landed in Athens the BB Team took great care to ensure we had an amazing holiday. The local team were friendly, engaging and super supportive when it came to re-learning dinghy sailing and starting paddle boarding for the first time. The guided MTB rides were challenging but the views were totally worth it. We can’t recommend them enough and will be booking again for next year”

“Great activities and top team, and lovely to stay in a family run hotel rather than some faceless chain. Travelled with husband and two young adults and it satisfied everyone. Nearby town is lovely. Great week, thank you Beyond Beach.”

“Just returned from the port of Lixouri following a week's Introduction to Sailing with Shirley our instructor. A great way to gain your ICC flotilla and competent crew qualifications or just learn to sail, delivered in a relaxed and humorous atmosphere by a very experienced and patient instructor. On our day off, we enjoyed the facilities of a local hotel that is open to non-residence. In the evenings we took advantage of the many authentic restaurants located around the square that were recommended by the BeyondBeach staff. Looking forward to our first flotilla with BeyondBeach in September.”

“Just back from a family holiday to Lixouri Bay which was absolutely fantastic. We spent a week there with our kids, and the balance of watersports, and chilled beach vibes was perfect. The staff were all super friendly and helpful, and the home cooked Greek dinners were delicious. We would definitely recommend this place.”

“The customer services are FIRST CLASS. THE PRICES ARE cheap compared with other companies. The MANAGER JOHN IS AN AMAZING GUY who would do anything to help you. This includes making sure you have the room you want, getting some fresh ice for a bruised knee, visiting you at home to make sure you are ok, bringing you Soua Milk out of his own fridge.. I could go on”
