F ZEEN KEFALONIA - Adults Only

We had an incredible week at this hotel! The design is stunning, with beautiful outdoor spaces and a great mix of activities, from Pilates to movie nights. Our room was spotless and had an amazing sea view that made every day feel special. The staff were all genuinely lovely and went out of their way to make our stay special. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be back!

The best. Every aspect of this hotel is top notch. The coaches are exceptional. Most of our classes were with Stamos who is truly best in class at everything he does. Anna was equally talented. Breakfast and dinner were outstanding, lunch menu could be improved slightly but it still very good. All round levels of service from the team were excellent. Thank you team F Zeen. We will certainly be returning.

F Zeen is an amazing hotel, peaceful, beautifully designed, and with stunning views. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the service is top-notch. We loved the private beach with paddle boards and kayaks, and the wellness activities are a real highlight, so many great classes to choose from. Highly recommended for a relaxing and luxurious stay in Kefalonia!

We loved the vibe here - tons of sports classes each day, super friendly people, and really great dinner at Gaia. The view from the top pool is really nice. Im not sure why everyone else uses the other two pools more than this one! The only thing is the rooms are a little bit sad for the price (must’ve been modern in the 90s), and the breakfast was only okay (a la carte, some items are terrible but others are fine)

F-Zeen — the name suggests effortless Greek elegance, barefoot luxury, and the kind of sun-drenched opulence where every towel smells of bergamot and cashmere. Instead? I was gifted a wellness experience that felt more like a punishment retreat for jaded influencers. A place so profoundly underwhelming, I half-expected an Aegean exorcist to knock on my door. Let’s begin with the room — a scented homage to mildew, depression, and broken promises. Picture it: you fling open your luxury suite doors only to be greeted by the pungent kiss of ancient mold. A stench so rich and layered it deserves its own sommelier. The soundproofing? About as effective as a silk robe in a monsoon. Every morning, I was serenaded by the delightful percussion section of the local Housekeeping Symphony — cymbals crashing, vacuums howling, mop buckets thumping like a post-rave hangover. Wellness, indeed. And when I dared to express mild discontent? Enter the Hotel Manager — a true maestro of mediocrity wrapped in beige linen. She performed an interpretive dance of denial, gaslighting, and thinly veiled extortion that deserves a Tony Award. First, she swore nothing was wrong (“Mold? In our sacred temple of wellness?”), then claimed not a single room was free (despite a website bursting with availability). I haven’t felt so violated since a brunch in Berlin where they put truffle oil on everything. But surely the breakfast buffet would lift the spirits? Oh no. It was giving... airport lounge meets Greek detention center. Lukewarm, lifeless, and tragic. Think boiled eggs of unknown origin, fruit that had emotionally checked out, and bread so dry it may have been baked before democracy was invented. The real comedy, though? That shimmering 5-star rating. F-Zeen claims luxury with the confidence of a Love Island contestant applying for MENSA. But this is no sanctuary of sophistication. It's a three-star escapee in a La Mer bathrobe, hoping you won't notice the mold if the Instagram lighting hits just right. FINAL VERDICT: F-Zeen isn’t a hotel. It’s a performance piece — a theatrical exploration of just how far a place can stretch the word “luxury” without triggering a class-action lawsuit. Come for the scenery, leave with a sinus infection and several existential questions. Would I return? Only if cast in a Greek tragedy and needed real-life suffering for method acting. 🐻🫧🫒👎

This is a hotel complex with an absolutely stunning setting, nestled into a natural forest. Despite some issues (which were beyond the control of the hotel) with our room and although the initial response from other staff left a slightly bitter feeling (for everyone involved) over the duration of our short stay, Dimitris and George eventually worked to understand what was important for us and found a solution. That said, the hotel had the capacity to provide us with a higher category room (which is the resolution I would expect for a hotel of this calibre in this situation) and I feel that the hotel staff should be left more equipped to deal with this accordingly. It is worth noting incase anyone of significance is reading that should have never been invited to see the original room (which had maintenance issues in the block which “did not meet the standards of the hotel”) after rejecting the original room “upgrade”. The inside of the rooms we saw are slightly basic and some of them have some issues like the tv not being able to point in any useful direction. This is disappointing when the basic room prices are more expensive than 5 star 3-bed villas in the area, but what certainly makes up for it are some special surprises in some of the rooms balcony/garden spaces, and the brilliant amenities outside the rooms. The exterior of the hotel is absolutely beautiful. The initial map of the hotel looks slightly overwhelmingly big but actually it is possible to walk around the entire area in a few minutes, and there are buggies available to take you around if needed. The only problem I noticed was that there are ants EVERYWHERE which is not a huge issue but can be less than desirable in certain environments. The food served at the hotel is maybe 75% more expensive than the local prices (30€ for Gyros) and while Kefalonia does have lower-priced restaurants with the same standard of food, the Gaia restaurant is certainly worth the money for the convenience and variety on the menu. There is certainly something available for everyone, and Kostas really helped us to navigate the menu and quickly learned our preferences so that he could suggest some menu items that we maybe would have not normally tried (and they did not disappoint!). Kostas and Dimitris really turned our initial experience of the hotel to be positive and it always felt like we were in safe hands when we saw them working in our dining area. Room service was fast with good service, and I don’t think it was priced any higher than the other menus, which was good to see considering the prices. Other than Kostas and Dimitris, some of the service we received around the hotel was fairly rocky. Our stay was early in the season so I hope that most of these issues were only until everyone gets back into the flow of things, or maybe the hotel was a little quieter than usual so the staff were slightly off guard. That said, being sat in sun loungers at a bar and not being greeted at all, or seeing sun beds have empty dishes and dirty towels left for hours was a little disappointing especially when the hotel owners were visiting. 45 minute waits for food and frequent confusion as to whether we had received the food suggests to me that the team could have a better system/software for managing the tables. From spending the start of our trip in a private Villa, we hoped that being catered for during our final days would finish our first trip to Kefalonia, and the team members I mentioned above certainly helped to achieve this. There are certainly things which could be improved and we hope to come back to see our favourite team members next year, albeit a little later in the season when things would hopefully be running smoother. This is no doubt one of (if not the most) beautiful hotel in Kefalonia and so much better than some of the others that we saw in just about every way and the experiences make this worthwhile, but it is worth baring in mind the relative cost and value of the place compared to other accommodation options.

Spending time at Fzeen Kefalonia was most definitely a once in a life time experience for me. Stunning location with beautiful views towards the sea. Incredible variety of yoga, Pilates, aerial yoga. Several other activities on offer, fantastic gym and amazing instructors. Wonderful to relax by several of the different swimming pools, also such a special experience to enjoy the outdoor cinema. The spa treatments were outstanding.... Most probably the best massages we ever had and the staff was beyond professional, polite, friendly and attentive. Overall everything about our stay was very amazing, but one definite highlight was that each and every member of staff was courteous, friendly, professional and could not have looked after us any any better. Thank you to everyone at Fzeen for making our time there so incredibly amazing. A very special resort.

Just got back from a week stay at F-Zeen and we had a wonderful time. We were recommended the place by friend who had stayed there a number of times and wanted to check it out for ourselves…..it lived up to the billing. The place is stunning, incredible service and super clean. The gym and classes take the hotel into a league of its own. We also got to try padel for the first time and are hooked. The team are very attentive and made the trip special. In particular Alex, Costas, George and Biagio. I didn’t think I’d ever say this about any holiday, but we would definitely go back!
