Hi Double Dee

It's a weird one.

We stayed in Skala, Kefalonia a couple of years ago at the 9 Muses. Although the rooms were nothing overly special, the public grounds and pools in the hotel were stunning. It was run by a Greek girl who'd lived and worked in America for a lot of years. So it was Greek hospitality with American efficiency!! Cost wise it would cost us around £700 per couple more for 2 weeks there than the Romanza in San Stef at the same time.

Just couldn't justify it this year. Skala's very much a 'normal' resort like I'm guessing San Stef is. I guess some people just want that little bit of extra 'wow' factor

What I was going to ask is SS upmarket like some of the resorts on the mainland and Mykonos?  I'm not a snob or anything like that.  It's just that if SS is a 'normal down to earth' resort, I don't understand why someone would build a hotel of that calibre in a resort like San Stefanos.

Hi Double Dee
You will do well to listen to Tonys advice. He has lots lots of useful information on the village as he has been visiting on a yearly basis since 1983. The one thing I find amazing is how he remembers it all at his age.
To get back to the Delfino yes it is an upmarket hotel and it comes with upmarket prices.Is it better than other hotels in the village.I think the answer lies in the question do you want value for money.In my opinion you can get a 2 week holiday in a number of hotels in the village at a fraction of the cost of the Delfino.
These may lack the facilities of the Delfino but more than make up for it it with their welcome and service.
Is San Stefanos an upmarket resort.I will say only that it suits me and hundreds of other return visitors.The reasons being.
1 No snobs
2 No yobs
3Excellent Tavernas at competitive prices
4Local people that make you feel one of the family.
5 Family orientated.
6Local travel agent with trips of excellent value and a lot cheaper than the Tour Operators including boat trips from the local harbour.
7 Wonderful scenery and a safe beach.
Hope this helps

I can only back up what Yannis has said about the resort, it's not upmarket in the sense that the yacht club / villa set don't come here,
San Stefanos North West, which is very pretty and upmarket, is more of that vein - No yobs or lager louts so far over the years, it's not an 18/30 type resort.
Normal family / couple's resort, but where the Local People go the extra mile to make you feel part of the place - even one of the family if you return again.

It's fairly typical Corfu / Greek type Apartments and Hotels, so generally a touch basic but comfortable,
although apartments like Sugar & Almond / Vicki / Margarita's (check out San Stefanos travel as well - Noula is the owner - they also do airport transfers).
 http://www.san-stefano.gr/    also look at  http://www.fedramare.gr/
Those and some of the other new builds tend to be far more plush and well fitted out than the older apartments and a touch more expensive than the regular ones.
Good luck with your choice, Easyjet flies there daily from some airports.

Jules:
Vicky apartments €30 per night for 2 people beginning September 2nd 2011 for 14 nights. Almost tempted. What does anyone else think?

Go for it!
