Just returned from a fantastic holiday at Stira Bay. Really couldn't fault it, the staff are friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, the kit is excellent, so many activities I'm not sure I ever managed to sit down on a lounger. Excellent communication leading up to the holiday as well. We've been on a couple of Mark Warner holidays, and this was every bit as good, if not better in some areas - there were always staff on the beach ready to give an impromptu lesson or tips, it was very relaxed and flexible which really suited us. If you're thinking about booking go for it, you won't regret it!

Almost a 5. First trip to Stira, third with BB. Excellent staff. Mature and friendly young people especially Mia and Emily. Hotel was fine - loved secret beach and sunsets and warm waters. Loved accessibility to town which really made a difference to isolation of Kefalonian resort. Great windsurfing kit which was in demand as sailing did not run for 3 days due to very high winds. On days sailing ran boats were ok …2 of 3 lasers were not in service and largely sail controls non adjustable. Could do with a more robust more advanced dinghy for non beginners…. Neo? Also 2 Argos were in high demand for lessons so could do with something like a 2000 for other guests? Vago too tippy for most and didn’t go out all week. These are minor points but would strengthen your offer for sailing enthusiasts. Thank you BB. Fond memories.

Great holiday. The staff were very helpful, the bedrooms simple but clean and with good AC, and a stunning location. Plenty to do but also time to relax. A lovely week away for us and our 3 children

We felt truly spoiled for a week. The endless offer of sailing activities, yoga and fitness. The super enthusiastic and friendly staff, the personal attention, the good food. We are a family with kids between 8 and 17 and everyone loved it. I also brought my parents (age 75 and 80) who loved it as well!

Fantastic week in Stira Bay, Evia. Idyllic setting with stunning sunsets and sea view from room balcony. V enthusiastic, friendly and helpful BB team - we enjoyed watersports, cycling and my 15y old son and husband also did circuits on the beach-rather hot but apparently fun! The team also ran 3 teen activity sessions (and wacky races on last day) which were v popular with my son and he quickly got to know others and had a great week. Easy access to beach from hotel. I loved pre-bfast swims from “secret cove”-so peaceful and crystal clear water. Breakfast had lots of options from 0730-10 (so could get there even if doing early activity) and the inclusive sunset bbqs and buffet dinner were delicious. It was a leisurely 20-30min walk into town (along beach) or 5 mins in taxi then lots of options for dinner by the sea, including great seafood.The hotel taverna and bar had lots of choice for lunch-reasonably priced, esp taverna where portions were v generous and perfect for sharing. We combined our week with 3 nights in Athens at the start. BB arranged transfer from our Athens hotel to the port-v easy, about 1h taxi and then just 30min ferry and few mins in mini bus to hotel. Thank you BB for an amazing week. Highly recommend.

We had a great time on the beachclub holiday. All the staff were knowledgeable and happy to help. Equipment was plentiful and always available. The hotel itself was lovely, small and very authentic. We would definitely return. The fitness classes were a lovely addition

This is one of those reviews that, in truth, you'd rather not write! When you enjoy such a wonderful holiday, there's something to be said for keeping it under your hat! However I will share my thoughts. This is a great little hotel with very attentive staff, and the BeyondBeach team are just wonderful... friendly,enthusiastic and great fun. We loved the water sports and benefited from some excellent tuition. We also enjoyed the walks into town and we found some great restaurants there. Congratulations to all the BeyondBeach team and thank you for a most memorable holiday!
