We (me, husband and 2 kids age 12 and 10) have just had a fantastic week at the Lixouri Bay Beach Club. We were lucky to get quite a quiet week between busy periods but that didn't mean that any of the activities didn't happen - we just got more flexibility as to what and when! All of the staff both in the hotel and at the beach we're so welcoming and friendly - we definitely felt like part of the family. Our accommodation was also fabulous - we had room 502 so had a 2 bed apartment, plenty of space for us all and a lovely balcony overlooking the bay to sit out on and dry all our gear. The food was amazing too - loads of choice and all very tasty. Close to Lixouri and restaurants as well for the non-inclusive nights. The star of the show for us was the watersports. Our kids had a wonderful time brushing up on their sailing with a lovely lesson each from Emily as well as kayaking, paddleboarding and trying out windsurfing for the first time. Our family sail on the Quest for the sail away day was a particular highlight and the sail back with the spinnaker up was epic. Hopefully we will be back soon for more beers at the beach bar - yamas!

Revisited Luxuri beach club after a few years and as good as we remembered. Hotel looked after us like family could not have asked for better service in hotel or with beach staff. Yoga and stretch sessionas after a day of activities were very relaxing.

From the moment we stepped into the hotel we were treated like family. Nothing was too much trouble and the amount of questions we asked the team the day before didn't phase them one bit. We cannot praise the Beyond Beach staff enough. From waking up and running down to the beach for Nel's amazing yoga lessons to Hugo ensuring that I left the island being able to sail. Our son was embraced which drove his enthusiasm for sailing even higher. To have Ben ensuring that he was challenged with all safety measures in place, enabled us, as parents to sit back and relax. All beach staff were friendly, helpful and nothing was 'too much to ask'. We wanted to stay. So much so we booked on the spot for next year! Our only gripe ( a little one ) is to have a toilet on the beach. Kostas, Akis and family were on hand with absolutely anything you required throughout the stay. The rooms were clean and beds made daily. The food was traditional 'Greek' food which we loved and couldn't get enough of. It was apparent that it was all homemade and just delicious. We cannot wait until the summer and next May to return!

Holiday at the Lixouri beach club using the lovely Lazaratos Hotel where the food is excellent and the family team are super friendly. The beach team were fantastic with a fun and easy going attitude but also the best attention to safety I have seen at similar operation. There was always a safety boat on the water and Ben gave them an update whenever anyone launched. With a sign on and off the water a very well run and safe operation. Jake sorted the only issue I had and he along with all the rest of the instructors and team were great throughout the week. Would I go back? Yes due to the friendly relaxed vibe and great food at the Hotel. Perhaps I will go for a dinghy course next time.

A great week sailing, kayaking, windsurfing and paddle boarding. Tom, Ben and the team were very friendly and happy to help get our mixed ability group of 10 adults and teenagers onto the water. Highly recommend if you are looking for a family friendly activity holiday.

Excellent opportunity to learn windsurfing, sailing and, amazingly, foiling with a wing! You can also do kayaking and paddle boarding if you’re tired. All staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. They let you try it all in a very safe environment. Also every one seems to be quite laid back I felt that our safety has never been compromised. What could be helpful it is to have a WhatsApp group or other way of letting people know whether the beach is open or closed ( we had a couple of sessions missed due to a storm). It was difficult to plan the day and we had to come down to the beach to find out whether it is open ( we had to come back from another part of the island)

What an amazing holiday. Our kids 11 and 8 had an absolute blast learning to windsurf and sail. And I found an unexpected thrill in learing to wing surf. The beah team were absolutely incredible, in particular Ben who is simply fantastic at what he does. Amazing with the kids, great fun to be around. The hotel staff are super friendly and chat to you every day. Food is good. Accommodation was decent enough for the amount of time spent inside (next to none). We met a great group of people and socialising was made easy with beach bite nights and the pool bar. My biggest gripe would be that there's no toilet on the beach. Best holiday we've had in a long time. Highly recommended. Thank you Trek adventure!
