Simpson Travel Reviews 

We had read so many good reviews that it is disappointing to share our experience of a suboptimal villa in Lefkada. The air conditioning on all 3 units - the living room and 2 bedrooms - was highly ineffective. The bedding was inadequate. There was no ability to cook outside in the event of a charcoal-only bbq. The building is tired and faded. But the most ridiculous thing is the layout. The kitchen is far far away from the pool - there is no ability to multitask whilst watching kids. It is an impossible layout for young children and even for us with older single digit kids it was inconvenient. The evening sun sets over the front balcony (with unusable bbq) but also overlooks a road busy with everyone parking outside, blasting music and blocking views. Such a shame.

With a fantastic beach location GK Hotel is in nestled into a quiet spot with beautiful mountainous backdrop, yet was a short walk to supermarket, tavernas and the nearby village.

It’s a great option if you have young primary school kids, our 6 year old daughter made some lovely friends and had a blast playing with them in the pool and on the beach by the restaurant in the evening whilst us adults enjoyed dinner and drinks.

We had a car and were able to go on some fun daytime beach, lake, water park adventures although do note that the prettiest Crete beaches are a good 50 + drive away.

Our accommodation was clean and comfortable and we loved the sea view from our bed.

The hotel manager was super friendly, proactively helping each family plan their days.

In terms of improvements, it would be a wider selection of fruit and cereal options at breakfast. Making one end of the pool more shallow to make it even more accessible for kids and their parents.

What another fantastic holiday with Simpson Travel! From the pick up from the airport, all through the 2 week break and the return journey, everything was just easy! Ioanna and Sarah were the perfect hosts, taking care of all our needs.
Our room was fantastic and waking up to the view of a stunning sunrise everyday was simply wonderful.
Service around the restaurant was great and our only suggestion for improvement would be to offer properly made coffee for breakfast instead of using the machine. An iced coffee would have been excellent but when we asked for one, we had to pay for it.
All in all, we loved GK Beach and we look forward to going back soon.

The holiday experience was a joy and seamless from start to finish. Everything was exactly described in the promotional material except the service which was exceptional!

We have used Simpson Travel for many years and have never been disappointed. Their villas (or select hotels) are hand-picked and known by the staff you speak with. Always very clean and comfortable yet not at 'silly' prices . Their staff are also very knowledgable. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful holiday in Lefkada – what a brilliant destination! Villa Santolina was just lovely: really comfortable, beautifully maintained, and the perfect place to relax. The Ionian Coast is simply stunning, and we loved exploring it.

Simpson Travel were excellent throughout – a fantastic company with great people. Yiannis was especially brilliant; fun, friendly, and incredibly well connected. His recommendations really made our trip extra special.

Thank you for such a memorable holiday – we will definitely be back!

Our holiday with Simpson Travel at their GK Hotel in Crete last week was, in all respects, absolutely marvellous. The hotel is spotless and set directly facing the beach which, itself , is directly next to the hotels luxury pool area. The small 28 apartments are serviced by a small army of liveried staff who take poolside and beach orders for their ample stocked bar with plenty premium brands.

Breakfast is included and has ample continental as well as hot food ( fried eggs, omolettes, bacon,sausages etc) Restaurant is open all day serving lunch and dinner with a great menu
Bed linen and towels are constantly being changed and apartment cleaners come in daily. Perfect switch off holiday Can’t wait to come back again.

Pound for pound, a very enjoyable and trouble free holiday, with good experiences throughout. From scenery, that is hard to match, to sunsets which may not be rivalled, Sivota and the Ionian Coast is to behold. Do yourself a favour ... !

We stayed at the Belle Mare - Corfu this summer and had a fantastic time.
Natalia and Adrianna from the kids club were great. The girls were very well organised with the activities and our children loved the pizza making and building a raft. We will be back :-)

A fantastic holiday through Simpson travel. Great service and a wonderful property in Provence.

Had an amazing time in Megganissi, Thanks to all the Simpson team for the organising and support before and during the holiday. Special thanks to Daniel and Laura for everything you both did!

Simpson Travel organised a fabulous holiday for our 2 families in Ithaca. The villa was fantastic and the travel, care hire and whole experience was very good. This is the fourth time that we have used this travel company and the standard of service and villas is very high and we will definitely book again.

We’ve just returned from a family holiday in Kefalonia. It is a stunningly picturesque island made all the more beautiful by the amazing villa we stayed in. It was perfect and met all our needs - the only “problem” was trying to get the children out of the pool to eat!! I need to give a special mention to our wonderful rep Karen. She went over and above in her care for us. My eldest child has additional needs and Karen was brilliant with her, and in assisting us with any queries we had. She’s an asset to the company and the icing on a wonderful holiday. Thank you so much Karen and thank you Simpson Travel. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

We have always had top end experiences with Simpson Travel. Lovely destinations, perfect accommodation and helpful reps. Now planning what we can do next year!

This is the second time we’ve used Simpson Travel, and again we’ve experienced excellent service. The team are knowledgeable and friendly and the properties are always the best around! They listen to what you’re looking for and seem to know what to recommend. Highly recommend.

Simpson Travel is a truly up-market travel company.
They provided excellent service wherever they were involved. Shame Easyjet can't match the Simpson standards.

The best specialist tour operator out there. Simpson provide outstanding service and everything they arrange is well organised and runs like clockwork. They have a fantastic range of accommodation and many flight options, with things like private transfers included as standard.

Our first experience of holidaying with Simpson and it won't be the last! Everything was taken care of for us which meant the whole process ran smoothly and was totally hassle free. We would 100% recommend to anyone to give it a try - you will not be disappointed!
The hardest decision is choosing which of the fabulous locations to visit.

Excellent service at all points of holiday - booking, airport, transfers, concierge and hotel service. Absolutely brilliant company, hotel and island. A quiet and peaceful location, excellent for a private and relaxing honeymoon.

Returning for our second stay at Villa Afrodite in Greece we experienced the most peaceful, warm in both temperature and hospitality and picturesque two weeks. The 2 storey Villa sits within beautifully tended gated gardens along with two larger villas. The outlook is spectacular overlooking Varko Bay and the islands of Lefkada, Meganisi, Kalamos and Kostos. Quite simply a landscape you can only dream of and will certainly never tire of.
Simpson looked after us from start to finish. Yiannis our Simpson Concierge was on call to secure you the best table at the best restaurants and book the most memorable skippered boat trip.
We have used Simpsons many times as they quite simply cannot be beaten on quality, location and service.
We used the Simpson App this year which is so detailed and includes travel documents, live flight information, local maps and information (shops, restaurants etc) as well as a Countdown to your holiday. There is even a space to save your personal memories and photos. Such a useful tool.

Afrodite certainly is the goddess of love.♡♡♡
