4 Star Corfu Holidays

Steve Leverton

Our family would like to say thank you to Alex and his amazing staff for a wonderful 10 days holiday. From start to finish, the staff were awesome. Probably one of the best all inclusive food variety that we have had. The views from the bungalows were stunning, the beach was beautiful. Everything was incredibly clean. We were so proud to be accepted into the Grecotel family and we look forward to seeing you all again soon. X

We stayed for 3 nights after a short cruise which finished nearby. We had a bungalow on the hillside that although a little dated was so spacious and comfortable with amazing views overlooking the ocean and beach. From check in to check out we have to say that the staff we met in the bars, restaurants and front of house were all exceptional and happy to help with anything. The resort itself is set on a hillside with the hotel and main bars, restaurant at top and the bottom of the resort with a quite beach and restaurants, bar beside the ocean. All meant we could experience everything without needing to ever leave the resort, they also include a hourly boat service that enables you to visit the other 2 Greco resort hotels for free to try their facilities which was a lovely touch. The surrounding gardens are lovely with a variety of trees and flowers to really help feel like this is a secluded location. We will certainly be back for a longer stay in the coming year to really enjoy everything we missed during our short stay.

The hotel was great. The service and staff were great. The bedroom was clean and well presented. But the bathroom although clean the shower /bath was not great. Food was lovely would recommend a stay for sure

Hanna Omrani

The hotel is the absolute best family hotel (having also been here as a child myself in the 90s). For babies, the rooms are set up specially with whatever you need (cot, changing mat etc) and the kitchen staff make fresh pureed baby food to order for every meal. The staff at the hotel are wonderful and went above and beyond what was required (especially housekeeping and the maitre ds) to make our stay comfortable. The main pool was extremely cold for mid October but the covered pool behind this was heated and pleasant (the kids loved it). The villa rooms are quite worn out considering the standard and price point for the hotel in general. I would recommend this hotel to all parents without a doubt.

One of the best hotel I've ever been in Europe! We've been there only for 3 nights after our cruiseWe had sea view room in main building. Room were very clean,spacious. Service in high standard, and food drink and coctails first class. The main building of hotel is situated on the top of hill but it was not problem to get to the beach and back as there were electric golf cart. It was perfect solution for those who was tired or had mobility problem. There were bar in main building, by the swimming pool and by the beach. We really enjoy our short stay and we are very sorry that we didn't try other restaurant, as I said food was really delicious! Highly reccomend hotel and Corfu!

Darryl Strong

Had a fantastic time here. Staff are very friendly, the room was spacious and clean. Food was excellent. We really enjoyed our walks to the beach for dinner enjoying the sunset. It was a perfect holiday. Can't wait to return.

Frederic L-M

Nice resort, a bit further down the center and the beach but still quickly accessible in a few minutes walking. The resort itself is quite big but well structured to make it accessible and comfortable for each guests without feeling crowded. The whole complex is a tiny bit dated now but that is completely compensated by the fact that the amenities and receptions spaces are all perfectly maintained and cleaned efficiently. The breakfast is very generous, rooms very large and the view is appreciated everywhere (we even had a bit of sea view although booked a garden view. Nice pool. Prices for extras are very honest and affordable (even cheaper than some downtown bars!). Kind staff. A very well appreciated stay.

Pavel Hollain

The first thing I have to highlight is the staff. Incredibly pleasant and helpful! The hotel as a whole needs a bit of renovation. More wear could be seen at times. The rooms are very spacious and clean (except for a few cobwebs). The breakfast was okay, but it wouldn't hurt to have more choice. I expected a little more for the price. Overall, I rate this stay as very positive.

Vladimir Pajic

If you want a friendly atmosphere, good hosts and good food, you can't go wrong here. My family spent a vacation in this hotel for 10 days and everything was perfect. The hotel is older, but everything else is much more important than that. The rooms are large and very, very clean. The breakfast is perfect, everything is of high quality, cheeses, eggs, fruits, juices, cakes,... The kitchen is open until 4:30 p.m., so you can order a delicious lunch in large portions at prices cheaper than a restaurant. The pool is very clean. Here you can get a drink served by the best bartender Janis. The most beautiful beaches are not far away, good restaurants and markets are near the hotel. Big greetings to the friendly staff of the hotel and the manager Boris who is always there to help you

Alexandria Bess

We had an insanely beautiful room (Id recommend getting the superior room) to have a softer bed & a better view. We stayed a couple of nights and the breakfast I wouldn’t recommend- just skip it and find another place to get a good breakfast and the dinner is quite decent in the restaurant they work with (Fuego). It is a little annoying though as you get a set menue and regular guests receive a full menue but the food is good for what you get. Walking up the hill can be a pain haha but the view is worth it. All in all, we had a good experience and greek night is also worth it.

NADINE MALLIA

Stayed at the hotel, location is very good. Rooms are clean but need some renovations. Breakfast was good. Room service good and towels were changed daily. Staff were great especially Johanna at the reception, she goes out of her way to help. Always promptly acted on our demands and is very helpful. She’s an asset to the company! Thank you for being so nice to no we’re not guests!

Ljiljana Agbaba Vamović

The hotel is a bit old and ripe for renovation, but the rooms are spacious, well insulated, very clean and tidy, every day the maid cleans the room, changes towels and bed linen. The food is varied and delicious. The staff is professional and maximally at your service. The pool and bar next to the baten is great. I missed better internet, it's weak or no signal in the rooms. A serious drawback is that there is no beach, there is one but it belongs to another hotel. Transportation to the city is excellent. In my opinion, it is still a bit overpriced for its age and location.

Aleksandra Đokić

I've read a lot of reviews about this hotel, both high and low scores, but my experience was just perfect. The room is good, had everything we needed (the only thing was that we didn't have double bed, just two single beds pushed together), we had AI and food was perfect, a lot of choices for every meal. Pool is nice, staff is amazing. Our flight was late at night and we checked out earlier in the morning - we were allowed to use a room to shower and rest before the flight. Staff is very helpful and kind, they helped us get through the island by bus, printed timetable for us... it was a perfect experience. We didn't care about outdated rooms or furniture in the hotel like I saw other people pointing out - it was clean, our rooms were made up every day. It is really well connected to city center and from there you can go by bus to the most beautiful parts of Corfu. The beach near the hotel is ok but I'd advise to look up for some places where you can get in an hour and for 5e experience perfect turquoise waters, the Corfu you imagine.

Mohammad Safari

What’s funny is that in this hotel, water is not replenished daily in the room, and you won’t find a water cooler or fridge (even during lunch and dinner). When you request water for the night, despite it being all-inclusive, you have to pay 2 euros for 1 liter of warm water. The snack bar only means extra breakfast items, and only 1 or at most 2 items are considered all-inclusive, and you have to announce that you are here and that you are all-inclusive. As for alcoholic drinks, the hotel itself decides what is included in the all-inclusive package.

Duncan Lund

To be fair I’ve stayed in worse hotels but I wouldn’t class The Ariti as a 4 star. My experience was that the rooms are very outdated, the Wi-Fi in my room was unusable and the air conditioning was poor. However the main reception area is quite grand and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is also set in a very desirable area, close to the airport and other amenities.

Christina Georgiadou

An exceptional hotel on the most beautiful side of the island Corfu. The staff were incredibly welcoming and very amiable throughout our stay. The rooms were beautiful and very clean as so the pool and the area around it. At the restaurant you can find a lot of traditional Greek dishes such as mousaka, pastitsio, gyro and tzatziki. All of them delicious and well made. A quiet and stunning hotel. Highly recommended !!!

Russell Townson

This Hotel is NOT 4star. Don't be deceived by the pictures. Rooms are not cleaned properly. The food is mediocre at best. If you booked a seaview, you need to be ready to climb a small mountain whilst dragging your luggage behind you, as you won't get any help with it. Health and safety? there is none. You take your life into your own hands. You have been warned! Avoid at all costs.

Stephan L

Guys, should you be looking for frustration and disappointment guaranteed, we recommend to book on this hotel. Do you enjoy to eat the same breakfast and dinner, both of a narrow choice and poor quality? We recommend to book on this hotel. Mould around the shower cabin, toiletry articles only for the first night, plenty of ugly stains on the balcony floor tiles? Fine, we recommend to book on this hotel. Not one flower pot in the whole hotel complex, no charme, no atmosphere ... your thing? Then we recommend to book on this hotel. It is hard to understand why this place would deserve 4 stars! We would give two, with good will maybe also three stars. Never again this place!!!

Jason Miller Miller

Rooms OK, breakfast good, friendly, helpful staff and only a stones throw the beautiful Nissaki Harbour, and right on a bus route to explore this beautiful island. Location couldn't be faulted. Lovely pool area with its own little bar with a magnificent sea view.

Annalise T.

We are enjoying our time here. The staff are friendly and helpful. I love the pool and the view of the sea. We love the walk down to the local beach, its water is refreshing. The mini supermarket close by has enough choice at the end of the day and there's a good sized fridge in the room. The AC in the room is good. You are only to run it when you are in the room but the room isn't getting hot in the day with it off and I don't even have it on much when we're in the room (my husband likes it on to sleep). The shower has good power, we have a wet room though and the floor tends to flood a little. Not really a problem but something to be aware of. We've rented a car and love this location as a base to explore the island from. It's a nice quiet place to return to at the end of a hectic day. There are a few restaurants close to the beach which are nice and relaxing. You also need to rent a boat from Danny's Boats down by the beach, it's an amazing deal and one of the best experiences we had, a must. There is also a bus stop by the hotel which many people use.

Agnieszka Kaczmarek

hotel definitely below European standards cleanliness in rooms and generally in the recreation area below standards. The hotel needs renovation. Food is average, very monotonous and the choice is quite modest. If someone has purchased all inclusive, they must be prepared for quite high additional costs after 23 everything is payable and the choice of cocktails is quite modest. The number of available sunbeds by the pools is very limited and evenings with animators end around 23 despite the fact that it is a hotel for "adults". The biggest advantage is the location, the views are breathtaking and this would be the only plus of this hotel.

KujoTheUnderDog

I certainly wouldn't call this a 4-star hotel. The staff are fabulous, and the food is good, for all-inclusive, but the rooms are dated, the bed was horrifically uncomfortable, the bathrooms are a bit grotty, and the booze is low quality. "All-inclusive" cocktails are still charged at half price, are not well made, and do not use decent ingredients. Better cocktails can be found pretty much anywhere else nearby. The sunset is beautiful, though, and the evening entertainment is quite good.

Anne Goddard

Hotel is adequate at best, some of policy decisions made by hotel are ridiculous, I.e closing the roof pool bar but only leaving the bottom pool bar open, so you needed to go up and down about 50 steps to get anything to drink despite no where near enough sun beds for everyone, then they took away most of the sunbed mattress on the roof top bar. Staff were generally helpful as I need a gluten free diet but despite having contacted them before awareness of cross contamination was very limited, dessert was jelly everyday which was in with all the other desserts so other food dropped onto them regularly. Food quality could be vastly improved by being hot. No water in rooms and you are not allowed to fill your own water bottle from the dining room either. Told by reception you need to buy your own water even when on all inclusive. Evening entertainment was a fiasco as 45 chairs in the main bar for what appeared to be a full hotel..... I would give a higher rating for most of the staff accept surly barmen at the pools who didn't appear to want to there. Do not underestimate the steps !

Mumuree

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The two pools were perfect for relaxing, and the food was delicious with a great variety of options. The customer service was exceptional—staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout my stay. Highly recommend!

Tania Marin

We stayed for 7days. The food was really bad. We’ve had half board and the food was really greasy and almost the same every day. Also the glasses that we were drinking were really dirty. We’ve stayed on the first floor, we didn’t have a balcony and it was really hard to dry our beachwear because no direct sunlight was entering that room. Beds and pillows really uncomfortable and the room was looking really outdated. Also, you can hear everything from the other rooms. Definitely the hotel needs an upgrade because it doesn’t look like a 4star hotel, every piece of furniture is really oldand looks bad. The pool and the location was nice.

Stuart Broderick

Just got back from one week half board, thank you very much we had a great time. The hotel location is perfect for the beach, shops, and bars. The room had everything you need and was clean. The restaurant was very good, big selection of food. A big shout out to Ivan and the girl's from the entertainment team, also the restaurant and reception staff were very helpful and nice people. We will be back one day for sure. Thank you.

Grigoris Kupriotis

We went there on a family trip. The hotel is perfect for families, the animation team was great and the food was quite nice but the thing that stood out the most was the helpfulness and the kindness of the staff.

Alex Ghini

We had an amazing time. The staff so helpful with any request. The food was great and lots to pick from. We booked a side sea view room which was worth it.

Archana Patel

We booked this hotel for a week stay and are currently staying here as I write this. This is an honest review of the hotel. The location is great! The sea front, beach and river are all 3 minutes away from the hotel. It is on a slightly quieter part of town but there are several supermarkets as well 5 mins walk away (opp OliBar). They are well stocked with groceries, jewellery, hats, bags, gifts, ice cream etc Cons: We’re in a tiny room. The fridge freezer doesn’t work. There is no cupboards/wardrobes to hang or store clothes. The breakfast options for vegetarians are limited at best. The service is rubbish. They take your plate before you’ve even started eating if you leave it unattended whilst you go to get tea etc. The kitchen and wait staff don’t understand or speak much English. They will not make you other kinds of eggs or accommodate any other requests. They charge a €10 fee for pool towels for the week as well a deposit. If you want a new one in this time it’s another €2/towel. They also charge you to use the safes which are installed in the rooms, which is ridiculous. I would not expect these kind of charges or service from a “four-star” hotel. Housekeeping didn’t change the cups in our room so we went to reception to let them know. He had the audacity to tell us to just wash them ourselves!!! Or that we can buy our own! We also asked for extra clothes hangers on our first night and the same receptionist said maids will bring them up to our room, they have yet to materialise! There is one main swimming pool (and one kiddie pool) with sun loungers and umbrellas around the main pool. However it is too cramped. There is not enough space to walk around safely without tripping on a lounger. Several people tripped and hurt themselves over the few hours I spent by the pool. There is an outdoor bar selling drinks and ice cream etc which is nice but they don’t have all of the items advertised on the menu which was a shame. A bit expensive at €10 for a small plastic cup of cocktails (think of a Small Costa iced drink cup in size). All in all, very disappointed with this hotel.

Christina Michala

The breakfast was great with lots of choice. Clean and modern rooms. Sea was only 1min by foot. Will be back

Petr Hank

Beautiful hotel on a beautiful place. Everybody can find his own way to enjoy this place. You can find calm places or you can enjoy an evening music. The staff is great, very friendly and helpful. The food is not bad. One can always find something for his liking. It is not the greatest, but we enjoyed it. Thank you!

Bordi Music

Staff was great, no doubts. Hotel is located close to the beach. Really nice swimming pools (3 of them). But ...the terrible smell for entire staying is unforgettable (no worries, you will get used to during first days though). Food is almost the same every single day, avarage quality.

Tina Cox

This hotel is advertised as a four star and I don't think it warrants this. The bedding and curtains are old, dated and dowdy. The pillows were tiny and lumpy and you couldn't get any extras.The stench from the sewers is overwhelming especially away from the main building. The staff are efficient but mostly not joyous in their work, Joanne at reception was the exception to this. The WiFi was practically non existent. The food was very samey and lukewarm, the saving grace was that there were some good local bars. I would not go back to the hotel again

Albert Kostaniak

Very nice hotel, located in a beautiful place 5 minutes from the beach. The rooms are nice and clean, the air conditioning works great. Food could be a little better but it is good and finally, the best person in the hotel - the barman Nicos, very nice and sociable.

Lynsey Chant

Beautiful place. Quieter than a bustling town. Great facilities. Good food. Nice pool. Great bar. We are going again in May!

Vanda Mikó

My experience here was really good. The staff was amazing, kind and very helpful. I loved the hotel and the many opportunities it offered. Having a car rental in the hotel is extremely convenient. The view and the ocean is amazing. I will definitely go back again.

Maris Rodins

Fortunately, I was able to cancel my stay after the first night. The hotel is situated right next to the sea with a truly breathtaking view. In my opinion, the owner of the hotel should either consider closing it for a complete renovation or selling it to someone willing to invest and transform it into a top-rated hotel. The staff is friendly and eager to assist, although it seems like they may be facing some challenges.

Linh Nguyen

Our experience at this hotel was a bit disappointing. Although we booked a four-star hotel, the standard was at best three stars. Its more of a low budget all inclusive hotel. The bungalov There was mold in the bungalow, the air conditioning was not working for two nights, and then there were more problems in other rooms. The room lacked a kettle. The reception staff was slow to respond to complaints, and we waited a long time for repair and cleaning. The restaurant and staff The only positive aspects of the hotel were the friendly staff and the great variety of food at lunch and dinner. However, breakfast was the same every day. The beach is with small pebbles so you definitely will need shoes. There are free umbrellas available for hotel guests. The pool During our entire stay, the pool was never cleaned even once. The water was green with algae, which is unacceptable, especially since we have small children who are sensitive to rashes.

Ineta Keturakyte

We stayed here in the beginning of the June. The overall experience was great 😊 Yes, hotel needs renovation, however we were staying in bungalow and it was beautiful, private room with balcony/terrace and sea/garden view. We loved our room for sure! The food was okay, especially the meats (beef dishes) were amazing, they really know how to cook red meat😁 The staff is friendly and helpful. The location itself is a bit remote, you need to hire a car to travel around but there were bus stops nearby as well. We were worried before coming as we saw these negative reviews, however staff explained that the owners and the whole staff are new, thus our experience was great. As it was the beginning of the summer the hotel was quite empty, it felt very private stay to us. Hotel is huge with beautiful surroundings, you can walk around garden, by the coast, rent a boat with or without the captain. Thank you again, and greetings to the staff!

Martin Racek

Nice hotel at a perfect location by the sea shore. The resort is on a steep slope so there is a system of lifts bringing guests to the beach. Some parts of the complex are repaired, some would need quite some renovation. But everything is functional and comfortable. Food served was tasty with very good choice also for vegetarians. There is an option to rent a car directly in the hotel for acceptable price. There are 2 swimming pools. Rooms: We were accomodated in a bungalow. Clean room, enough of space and furniture, nice view from a balcony to the sea. Just the air condition was a bit too loud if you want to run it in the night. Service: Staff was kind, just solving of some requests (like extre sheets) was not too fast. Position: perfect, right by the sea, very nice view.

David Rowley

We were very happy with our 5 days spent at Divani Corfu (two adults and one child). The bedroom probably needed a little updating (3rd floor) but it was very clean and comfortable. Pool is amazing, we were happy to spend the day there! Breakfast was very good. We ate lunch/dinner at the hotel as it was easily the best food compared to the other local restaurants we tried. The chef needs an award. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The decor of the main hotel area is first class (marble and cool 60's lines). This hotel easily exceeded my expectations. Would have been more than happy to spend the entire 5 days there without exploring the rest of Corfu! I've rated 4 for the room as I think the bathroom in the room could do with an update at some point, and 4 for the location as it the outside street/houses appeared a bit run-down (apologies to the locals). Generally though, this is 5 out of 5.

Maciek Brzozowski

I rate the entire stay very positively, but it must be admitted that the hotel is a little bit below the 4-stars expectations. Pros: Price, Cleanliness, Friendliness of the staff, Distance from the airport, Variety of breakfasts, Swimming pool. Cons: Old equipment, Noise (from the airport and other rooms), Non-functional some electrical sockets and dryer, Nearby attractions.

Ana Paula Murillo

It’s an amazing hotel the buffet included for breakfast has been one of the best ones I have had, they have so many options from bakery to eggs to local foods. The rooms were nice and the pool had really nice temperature. It is a nice location however you are far away from beaches I recommend renting a car and from downtown you are far away by walking but you can hop into line 2A right in front of the hotel (it costs 2€), but anything above that it’s a really good hotel.

Sepideh Pn

I’m incredibly disappointed with my stay at Divani Corfu Palace. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the service did not match the expectations of a four-star hotel. Despite struggling up a steep hill with our luggage in the scorching 40-degree heat, the staff at reception didn’t even bother to help us. They saw us struggling but didn’t raise an eyebrow to assist or even offer a glass of water or a towel to freshen up while we checked in. Once we reached our room, it was clear that this hotel is far from a four-star experience. The hallways and rooms are outdated, and the so-called “upgraded” room had a view mostly obscured by fake grass. To make matters worse, the hotel is perched on top of a cliff, meaning that every time you want to leave or return, it’s a hard task, especially since it’s not close to the center or any restaurants. The closest dining options are at least a 30-minute walk away, making it nearly impossible to enjoy your stay without a car. What’s most frustrating is the constant noise. We could hear every footstep, every slammed door, and even the planes landing at the nearby airport, despite the hotel’s claims of soundproof windows. The paper-thin walls and doors meant we could hear everything from neighboring rooms, including a crying child next door, making it nearly impossible to sleep. Even the toilet in our room made a lot of noise. I had already paid over 2,200€ for my stay, and yet when we complained, the only solution they offered was to pay an additional 300€ or 100€/night for a better room. No refund was offered, just options that aren’t really options. Imagine paying over 3,300€ to stay in a hotel that isn’t even centrally located and doesn’t prioritize guest comfort or satisfaction. The breakfast was another disappointment. While there are many options, the quality is far from what you’d expect from a four-star hotel. There’s no fresh juice or good coffee available, just generic, low-quality options. I would have preferred fewer choices but of better quality. Greek hospitality is renowned, but this hotel failed to deliver even the basics—no welcoming gesture like a chocolate or fruit upon arrival, just warm water in the room. I’ve informed my followers about this disappointing experience so that they don’t fall into the same trap. On the positive side were the bed and pool area.

Sean O'Toole

Stayed for a week in Sept. Pool area is beautiful and the staff delightful. Lovely location and the bus stops right outside so you can be in the Centre for €2 or it’s a 25 minute walk. Rooms are a little “tired” though and there are no tea/coffee making facilities in the bedroom or anywhere in the hotel. So, you must pay an incredible €5.5 for a coffee at the pool. Even a small bottle of beer (no draught) is €5.5 which is outrageous. Breakfast is so so and don’t even think about dining here at night. The dining room is soulless and the food is outrageously expensive for what it is. If they spent some money on the in-house food and beverage “experience”, I think guests would be more inclined to stay there at night and not leave en masse for the town. No complimentary water in the rooms either. Nice, but plenty of room for improvement.

Rachael Butterworth

Absolutely mid/average. For an all-inclusive hotel, there was a lot lacking, pool bars closed at 6pm, but the beach bar attached are open, but you have to pay for drinks but you get a 30% discount, but its all inclusive. We stayed in 208 which was up a huge steep hill, the hill became very slippery if wet, or like when we stayed, oil had leaked from a car. Which made it dangerous. The views are absolutely beautiful though, great if you are fit and enjoy hiking.

Lily Lou Haddow

The first night we checked in, we were escorted a good 15 minute up a huge hill to another hotel with no explanation other than “we have no rooms”. You’d think after booking a room for the night you’d receive that. This was just the tip of the iceberg. After that, we were told to check out of this different hotel and come to collect our actual rooms at 8:30am after landing at 2am. We did reluctantly and were told that we couldn’t check in till 1pm, leaving us to sit there all day with our bags. When we finally did check in the room were absolutely not clean. We received one change of towels in 7 days. The room was slightly mouldy and disgusting. There was a giant hole under the door which meant the day it rained, the entire room flooded multiple times to a high level. In terms of food and drink, it was okay but Kostas at the top bar was very lovely and made amazing cocktails! The actual bar and reception, all staff were unfriendly and unhelpful. The breakfast was 100% the worst meal of the day. The hotel was on top of the most ridiculous hill ever. It was extremely inaccessible and dangerous when wet as it was so slippy. There is a guest book in the hotel that sums it all up. Most comparing it to Faulty Towers. This hotel is definitely NOT 4 stars.

Olivia Waddingham

Blue princess was one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. Suites located up a hill (very steep!), but stunning ocean views. Really recommend a suite at the top of the hill (for younger people) as there was a quiet and beautiful pool in this location. Lovely man who worked at the pool bar ‘Kostas’ was extremely welcoming and hard working. Rooms were slightly lacking, our air conditioning dripped all night long, and the room made a few strange noises. The hotel did not change toiletries or towels very often which would’ve been nice. Food was great, so many options and fresh food. A personal annoyance was the use of plastic cups with every meal through the holiday, glasses were not given out at all. However there was a lovely and cheap restaurant below, which gives hotel guests a discount. Lots of fish and seafood on the menu… and you were allowed to drink from a glass! Really recommend a trip to Corfu town via the bus, but maybe less suitable for older people or families due to the steep walk from the bus stop to the hotel. Highlight of the holiday was hiring a boat from the beach for the afternoon (approx. €80 + petrol), no license necessary and get to explore and swim to the stunning beaches.

Marielisa Cabrera

I don’t even know where do I start as this hotel is the worst place I’ve ever been. First of all, people are incredibly rude and they do not care at all about the guests. Rooms are simple, with stained bedding and towels, tv doesn’t work because is from the 60’s and they don’t care. The food is the same everyday, cheap food, like rice, pasta.. nothing special. Is like prison food. If you want to have a good holiday/vacation stay in other hotels. The location is gorgeous and that’s what saved me from not flying home earlier. Do not come to this hotel is absolutely horrible! Oh and it has so many hidden fees.. like sunbeds, drinks etc. worst place I’ve ever been. Do not believe the good reviews, I can assure you they are fake.

Dale Alan Montaque Rowe (Monty69)

I'm genuinely baffled how this place has so many negative reviews as it's been paradise for the past 3 days. Maybe we got lucky but I can't really find a fault with anything that we have encountered since arriving. Absolutely BEAUTIFULLY BEAUTIFUL location and that's an understatement. We had a room in main building just above the restaurant with the most stunning view out to the Ionian Sea. The staff have been exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The food has been great (all inclusive buffet has more than enough selection and tastes lovely) and it's just a great hotel in an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING location. I think we'll be returning as it's been so good. Thank you to all the staff.

Christina Firth

Unfortunately I can't rate this place any higher. Don't get wrong the place is nice it's self. But also nothing to do outside the resort. Food was nice but the plates had a bad smell of sulphur. They are not washed properly. Really overwhelming smell of it. The dishwasher water needs changing more regularly. So that really put a downer on the experience of enjoying the food. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Also unfortunately out side our room smelt of feces all day long. The smell came in the room the smell at high heat of the day. Door was also broken so there was a massive gap at the side and the bottom so the geckos used to run in and out 😂🙄. Baby pool had tiles missing on the bottom of the floor so sharp and dangerous. We did like the slides and the apart from the sharp missing tiles the baby pool was very cute. The whole place definitely needs a revamp for sure but we did enjoy it apart from them things pointed out. But we wouldn't return and it's definitely not 5* I would say 3 at the most.

Ellis Borg

The staff are lovely and the rooms are well equipped however the cleaners sometimes didn't clean properly. The pools and facilities are good fun and of a high standard with a nice all round atmosphere. However the food was not up to standard and was very hit and miss. I stayed for a week and ended up getting food poisoning from the seafood night and ended up cancelling trips because of this. Stear clear from eating high risk foods here unfortunately as they have poisoned a few people that same week.

Jake Keith

Our family (two adults and a 2-year-old) had an amazing time for a week at the start of October '24. The buffet was surprisingly good. Specifically the whole salmon, lamb joint, and the offer of roasts every night. The grounds are beautiful and it's a very short walk (less than 5 mins) along to the pebble beach with bars and restaurants. My only suggestions are for pizza to be offered more in the buffet (kids love pizza) and for the desserts to be improved (some had a synthetic taste and we couldn't eat them). The staff are all lovely and the pools are great.

Hotel is OK. Needs some TLC and updating. The rooms including the bathrooms are all open Fine for couples but maybe not when with self conscious teens. Food is nice, varied and plentiful. Cleaning in ok too. Near the beach, shops and bars which is good although paying to use the hotel beach seems mean!

I liked the proximity of the beach, boat trips and the pool facilities. Although my partner was stung by a wasp by the childs pool near the flowers. The room I had was comfortable, clean, ventilated well and the beds were comfortably firm. The balcony was too close to the neighbours for me. The staff were good, however there are some problems with the food. Vast range of dishes but a lot was lacking flavour and 3 of the party had food poisoning during the stay including me, quite violently. A lot of potentially good Greek classics were ruined. Like the lamb shank having no sauce and being hard to eat. Feta being too salty. Grilled fish having no flavour. Souvalaki not quite right. It sounds like a lot of improvements have been made judging by some of the comments but some more quality checks in kitchen and front of house are needed.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Amour Holiday Resort, and it was truly an amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality that set the tone for my entire stay. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every need was met, making us feel very welcomed The resort itself was very comfortable. Our room was spacious. The cleanliness of the entire property was impeccable, and it was evident that the management takes great pride in maintaining a high standard. One of the highlights of our stay was the on-site dining options. The restaurant offered a diverse menu, featuring both local and international cuisine, all expertly prepared. Each meal was a delightful experience, and the staff was attentive without being intrusive.

My boyfriend and I booked this hotel as part of our package holiday via easyJet and were, unfortunately, extremely disappointed. Upon arrival, we were informed our room had no door handle which was a basic and unexpected issue. We could also see other rooms were without or had loose handles. There are no secure facilities provided to store our luggage - all luggage is placed in the reception area. Our room was particularly interesting. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable, with noticeable springs making it hard to sleep. The walls in the room were visibly marked and stained. As well as general stains to the walls, there were also multiple squashed dead bugs which had not been cleared before our arrival. Every time we used the shower, the bathroom flooded. Despite booking an all-inclusive package, cocktails were only available after 8pm, which did not meet the expectations set by the "all-inclusive" offering. The drinks available during the day were of such poor quality that they were practically undrinkable. The quality of the food was also extremely poor and almost inedible. The variety was minimal, and what was served lacked freshness and taste. The hotel overall was dirty and messy, with little attention from staff. After heavy rain, soaking towels were left across the floors, adding to the general untidiness. It is a shame this hotel has a lot of poor qualities as there is a lot of potential. The manager and team are around and friendly, however the quality of the hotel and facilities is so poor.

We had an absolutely amazing time. The room we stayed in was beautiful and we arrived late because of our flight and they gave us a packed lunch of a cheese and ham sandwich, apple, cake and an egg which was delicious without us calling ahead and asking. Our room was cleaned daily and so were the pools so there was no issue there. We stayed in the private pool rooms and it was gorgeous. The bartender was good and looked after us well. We found the food really nice. If you're a picky eater and rely on chicken nuggets and chips then maybe this isn't the place for you but they serve really nice traditional Greek food and the most delicious salads. I will say it is not an adults only hotel but there were only a couple of babies there when we stayed so we did not mind. All the staff were lovely and as soon as you had done eating there was someone there picking up the plates immediately. The hotel itself is beautiful, there are huge cacti and succulents, 2 communal pools and water features by the dining room. The location was also great, there are two restaurants opposite and canal d'amour is a ten minute walk away and the strip is a ten minute walk away which was great. Would definitely stay here again!

Brooke Nial

Absolutely loved our stay at the Amour Holiday Resort in Sidari! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. The room was spacious and clean, with a lovely big bathroom. The pool area was a perfect spot to relax, and the nearby beach was just a short walk away. Located perfectly at the start of the town, short walk to nearby shops too. Breakfast, lunch and food options were fab, catered to all tastes. All around the clock drinks! Overall, the combination of excellent service, beautiful surroundings, and great amenities made for an unforgettable holiday. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a perfect getaway!

Kristýna Richtrová

Not very comfortable beds. Child's crib was practically just wood. We were placed in a room up the stairs and when asked for one downstairs because of a stroller, we were offered a room with 2 beds only (for 3 adults and a baby). Room was cleaned properly only once in 7 days. Food was quite good, fair number of options. Our stay was nice, but nothing to write home about.

Paul Perry

A great family hotel with friendly staff and lots of activities to do nearby. Traveled with my wife and our 12 year-old twin boys, and we all loved our stay here. We didn't stay around the hotel, as we're not "by the pool" kind of people and we're out around the island most days. It was great to come back to decent accommodation and good food everyday. For what we paid, and for the efforts the hotel staff go to, I really can't fault any of it. We love Corfu and would happily come back to this hotel again and again.

Aneta Stofanova

The hotel is very pretty, well looked after, super clean. Staff work really hard. The views are majestic! A couple of 2-10 min walk beaches. Some good bars around. The only down fall is the drinks from the all inclusive bar and restaurant. They’re all cordial watered down with tap water. Which makes them taste odd. Apart from that a wonderful place!

Prabhath Fernando

Nice clean hotel but maintenance of the estate is not their strong suit. It doesn’t feel crowded and congested. No air conditioning or fans in common areas. WiFi could be patchy. Pool is ample. Food is absolutely delicious with a good spread although menu is somewhat predictable after a day or two. Domestic staff are very helpful. Live music at night was fantastic. Customer care, particularly the receptionists could certainly be better and more helpful. They are very slow to respond to guests requests (eg extra pillows, reservation of pool towels, maintenance work that should have been attended to, before accommodating guests). Maintenance of appliances including those of the gym is poor. Beach is close by but access could be challenging as the stairs are steep. No walking trails around and nothing much to see in close proximity.

Bradley Huntington

We stayed at the golden mare for a week all inclusive and although it may say it is a 4 star it doesn’t feel like one! We appreciated and loved the view from our room but if you struggle going up and down hills I wouldn’t advise you to stay there as our room was right at the top (probably the last room) and it was a struggle going up and down all the time. We were meant to get daily room service where they use fresh linen and change bins. However for the first 4 days of our stay we noticed that they just made up the bed with the same dirty linen and for the first couple of days they didn’t change our overflowing bathroom bin (as you cannot flush tissue), to the point we physically had to put our own bin bags in it. The restaurant food was very repetitive and the glasses\ cups were in a state where we were unable to enjoy a drink out of them as they stunk and had stains. This was also the same with most cutlery and some plates. Most tables were infested with ants which the staff (when asked to do so) just brushed off onto the side or floor. Staff are lovely however they don’t tend to listen much when you ask something about your room and we had to repeatedly come down to reception to ask the same task to be done. Pool bar cups are the same with the smell etc. there was most days a wrenching sewer smell all in the rooms and all in the lobby and kitchen area which made many guests feel sickly, although this may not be helped, they could’ve sprayed something to be able to have the hotel at a decent attraction. Although there are some bad things to this hotel, the room itself was lovely (although for us and many others struggled to go up especially with heavy suitcases). Room was spacious and had beautiful views of the ocean. Our shower had lots of space but it kept leaking so it flooded the bathroom. If you like entertainment there is not much of it! Out of the whole week we must’ve seen only about 4 (all being singers). The place/area the hotel is based on, doesn’t have ,much around it to see unless you catch a bus (that apparently comes every 2 hours) or rent a quad (which is so fun defo recommend to get to other places of the island). Some positives: there is a hotel van with lots of times that will take you and pick you up from the beach. Staff is nice and their is a cute small shop onsite.

Brian Bell

A Nice hotel with friendly staff. We spend a week here in later October, weather was great all week and we really enjoyed our time away. The hotel is graded 4 star and the building lives up to this however there are some simple things I felt were not provided which was disappointing and would really make customers stays that bit more special On check in we only had 1 staff member at reception so it was a little disorganised and people hanging about for a long time, we also had to pay 10 euros each for a pool towel which is refunded but it's a bit pricey to ask for that on check in when most other places just have a card system in place. Entertainment was not on during the day despite it being noted on the website as frequent and there is no kids clubs or kid friendly activities, there was no music around the pool unless the staff played it on their phones through the speakers, evening entertainment was on 4 times during the week which was ok and the greek night was fantastic. Restaurant experience was pleasant however this is the first hotel I've been in where nobody is at the door to welcome guests and assist them in selecting a table / offering a drink etc. food on offer was repetitive and lacked any real finesse although what was on offer was fresh and plenty of it, poor offering for kids just nuggets and Bolognese pretty much Roof top bar is lovely in the evening however is not included in the all inclusive although relatively low cost 4 euros for a bottle of beer etc, the area is on level 3 and is large with comfy seats however is empty all the time and has no toilet so you need to travel down to ground to use the toilet. Lobby bar staff were great, usual local drinks included in all inclusive and tea / coffee, all inclusive finishes at 11.30 and shortly after the night porter turns the lights off which is annoying and actually quite dangerous, people don't go to bed any quicker so stop doing this is really not ok and should somebody fall the blame would be on the hotel. Pool area is nice and plenty of comfy loungers, during the day the lounge bar staff do a great job collecting empty glasses etc however nobody does and cleaning around the pool during the day so the area can get quite dirty from people walking on and off the grass areas with wet feet creating muddy areas and the surface appears to have areas where the floor dips so water pools which can be slippy. In the evening the lighting externally needs to be improved as it's quite dark. Spa was closed so we can't say if it was good or bad. Special mention to the friendly guy why drives the shuttle bus, he is very helpful and speaks to the guests and always says hello. Overall a decent holiday, just needs a few small touches to make it more customer friendly.

Bartek Marczak

An amazing hotel! Clean, intimate, well-maintained, and incredibly guest-friendly. There are no problems here - just a fantastic experience! Delicious breakfasts, fantastic dinners, and exquisite wine available at the bar. The green areas are beautifully taken care of, the pool loungers are cleaned daily, and pool towels are included in the room price (such a great perk!). Be sure to order drinks at the pool bar - they're tasty and strong! :) I highly recommend this place. The location is perfect—well-positioned for easy access to Corfu’s main attractions and stunning beaches. It’s just a 10-minute walk to the town center and the beach. Thanks to the bay, the water is calm and warmer, making it the perfect spot to relax. Sunbeds on the beach are reasonably priced, around 8-10 euros per day. If you're visiting Corfu, stay at Art Hotel Debono!

Vishal Patel

An enjoyable and comfortable stay. It was clean and our room had a nice terrace area. The service was great and the quality of the breakfast and food in general was great! Gouvia Beach is nearby, but it is a bit away from Old town if you don’t have a car but only a 15min drive from Old Town.

Shirel Lebovich

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at! My husband and I had our wedding in Corfu and stayed here during those days, and they made our wedding day and stay even more special than we could have imagined. We stayed in the suite with indoor pool and the room was beautiful, spacious, and impeccable. The service of the hotel was also top notch, everyone was super nice and helpful. The breakfast and overall food was also incredible. Thank you to all the staff for being so amazing with us, we will definitely come back and recommend this place to everyone!

David Tejeda

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Art Hotel Debono. The rooms were perfect, beautiful hotel, amazing service, and the pool was wonderful. By far our favorite hotel pool to date. In the evening you’re walking distance (9-10mins) from small town strip with shops, bars, and great restaurant choices. We loved how quiet the hotel was and the breakfast buffet was great as well. For a relaxing, clean, and perfect location, this is the spot! They also have live music or performers on certain nights by the pool and pool bar.

Craig Jennings

Very much enjoyed our stay here, the hotel has a nice relaxed atmosphere and is set in lovely grounds. We stayed in a family bungalow with private pool, which was very spacious and modern. The pool is lovely and never overly busy. Getting a sun bed was never an issue, even for late risers like us! The hotel seemed to suit couples and families with older children, rather than younger children. The food was decent enough, mainly Greek cuisine. Would have been nice to have a bit more variety but I guess it’s difficult for them to have too many different things being a small hotel. The only issue we had was walking into Gouvia, there is no path for the first part of the road and it did feel quite dangerous with cars going fast. Overall would highly recommend this hotel.

Tracey Patten

Ideal for us for a short break in Corfu as we didn’t want a car. Lots of places to eat locally and lovely food. Service at the hotel was perfect and the rooms were kept clean throughout our stay. The building looked quite historic and had some really lovely features. A note for anyone looking to book - The pool area is quite small and on the side of the road. It wasn’t a negative for us just something to bear in mind. To be honest it was great to have a pool in such a central location. Waiting on staff at breakfast were really good. We didn’t eat at the restaurant for any other meals. If we were to return to this area we would definitely stay again. Thank you for making our first trip to Corfu so lovely.

Silvina Rizzo

I totally recommend this boutique hotel, right on the beachfront, perfect for couples or for solo travellers like myself who has an early flight or need to be close to the airport! The service, the ambient, the food, beds are impecable. It’s worth every single penny I spent on it . I felt in love with my balcony view! The buffet dinner and breakfast are exceptional and all the STAFF are simple amazing, from the welcome drink to the restaurant manager . I had a massage today to make use of the spa and it was also very good. thanks Angelo! I’m coming back 🥰

Natasha Franks

Loved this Hotel! We spent a night here at the end of our Corfu stay to be close to the airport. How wonderful it was also close to the Old Town and a cross from the beautiful med waters to swim! The outdoor pool and restaurant are wonderful. Having spent one night at a different close-tp-airport place which was the same price, made us wish we knew about this place first! It is definitely a basic room and the service is 4-4.5 * but great value for money ( as we compared our friends spending a lot more for not as nice as the other Palace down the road).

athena gotsi

Exceeded every expectation! Our stay was perfect. Clean tidy luxurious space with many amenities. Incredible staff and calm space. The highlight of our stay was the incredible buffet alongside the impeccable service provided by the restaurant staff. The staff in particular were extremely professional, very helpful, caring and hospitable. Variety, quality, gastronomy and definite value for money. On top of all of this when I lost my (expensive) hat it was found by the reception and was kindly returned to me.

Rosanne Maher

Here at the hotel now. Arrived on Husbands Birthday the 22nd September, but,surprisingly no acknowledgement of this from the hotel. Booked seaview room that we paid extra for,and it was well worth the money as the views (3rd floor) exceptional. B&b okay,nothing special food wise.. just what you would expect at a hotel but the dining room was ran efficiently. Read so many wonderful things about the lovely staff,but sadly we did not see anything that made us think they were overly friendly or went out of their way to be helpful. Reception staff not what we expected at all,and although certainly not rude,were not welcoming or warm. Hotel bathroom badly in need of attention,but we were aware of that when booking. Buses ran regularly to old town.. charming but expensive. We were so looking forward to staying at Mon Repos after researching it,but personally would not stay here again 🙄 although we would say it has character. Just our experience did not meet expectations.

Cheryl “Verrycherry”

My family and I went for a week end of September and we had a great time. All inclusive was good value for money. Great selection of drinks and food although I found the food to be a bit bland and lacked in flavour the desserts were amazing. Resort was great for families, we went in group of 10 kids from 18mnths to 15years there was something for everyone. Entertainment was great Brian and crew were so good and Brian had everyone involved. Part of the all inclusive is yhe Water Park which is amazing. We all absolutely loved it. There is a wee pizza place and a supermarket 2 minute walk outside the resort gate. Highly recommend visiting these. Also local buses for Old Corfu Town worth a visit and try the Gyros. Mind tip your servers they go above and beyond for you.

Anthony Dalton

Reception Friendly staff, good explanation of what is on site and the different restaurants. Seating area basic but plenty of it. Small bar also in situ. Restaurant Reasonable size buffet, often found something that took my fancy. Children's buffet cart also available. Food not the best by along shot, basic menu. Pool Only one outdoor pool bar, swarming with wasps which is a huge problem on site, only one outside for whole complex is below standard and poor. Drink choices are also poor. Wave pool great, very frequent, all sun beds get taken early on, then the occupier goes into the water park all day, often found no sunbed. Very dissapointing. Room Family of 3, ended up with 2 single beds and a bunk, not very family like! No kettle which was dissapointing. Beds very poor, and the kids mattress was a toddlers mattress. Definitely not the family holiday we anticipated. Best take away by far was the weather 27 deg end of Sep.

Lee Botterill

Food is readily available, simple and well cooked. Basic wine, beer and spirits available morning to night. We have a duplex room with up stairs double and sofa beds downstairs right next to the pool. Rooms are cleansed and beds made almost every day. Staff are friendly and helpful with advice about getting around etc. we have had a great week. You get what you pay for quite simply.

Katie Chinn

Upon arrival to this place - our room had bedbugs The staff on duty were very helpful and moved us immediately to a new room. Tui however we're very unhelpful and told us if we didn't like it to book a flight home. The beds were extremely uncomfortable - the food wad disgusting and inedible most nights. We ended up going into town to have dinner and ordered takeaway from local restaurants. The pools at the hotel are very good and the attachment to the water park are the only positive features. The hotel is remote with no amenities close by. Overall we will not return to corfu and we will never book with tui again.

Charlotte Shirley

We chose the all inclusive package. We will never return. The water slides and actual water park are BRILLIANT. The hotel is a dump including the food. The wine included in the all inclusive is vinegar and the entertainment is desperate. The entertainment staff are very kind but they have nothing to work with. Front desk staff are fairly good but the management needs improving and courses in hospitality.

Carl Temperley

Very nice apartment enjoyed my stay here. Clean and tidy, rooms are very nice, had lovely view from hotel room. Food was delicious, only problem was queing for breakfast and evening time. Entertainment on site was brilliant. Lovely walk along to village from apartment.. Loved swimming pools and lying on sunbeds. Staff were very friendly and polite, had very nice time..

miilahgirl

We arrived here & were instantly blown away with how beautiful it looks. We checked in very quickly & easy. We had 2 rooms & stayed for 7 nights so had to pay 140 in room tax as apparently now a 5*.(🤷) We didn't get any help looking to our room & no directions. We found a cleaner & they advised. Rooms were standard ( if that) they were clean which is the main thing. But the sink tap is nothing more than a trickle, we had 3 beds in ours and was a bit of a squeeze. Our rooms were with a garden view which was a great location to everything. We arrived around 4pm and the evening buffet opened at 6.30 we headed up & it looked ok. My autistic son immediately was happy about spaghetti pasta, fresh pizza and chips. These are served every night but other things changed. The food was warm ( if that) and I wouldn't trust to eat the meat after myself and my daughter had food poisoning. It was really bad & reception told us unless we go to hospital to get it confirmed then we couldn't make a complaint. Even after showing them the food was raw & I don't like to waste my holiday in hospital when I know how to deal with food poisoning without intervention. There is a man in the main dining area who seats people and causes nothing but carnage, massive queues up the stairs to get a seat. When he's not there people manage to seat themselves easily and no queues. The grounds are lovely, beautiful, and well kept. The pools are great but mostly too deep for kids to actually enjoy, we found a nice pool which was out the way but perfect depth for my 9year old daughter to swim and feel comfortable in. The crepe stand is lovely and the staff are great, very over worked though bless them. Gyros stand really nice and the outdoor bars are nice. The beer is very watered down and as a 5 star the whole small tumbler cup isn't good. Cocktailz are absolutely rubbish and again no effort put in. The restaurants by the beach are lovely and they really do pull out all the stops with the food and service. But you have to book and as we've gone in October it wasn't very busy but had to wait until our last night to go as was fully booked prior. I can imagine it to be hard to get a booking in season. Kids drinks are watered down so we had to keep getting our own drinks from the shop which is unfair especially when you've paid for a 5* The cleaners are great, very thorough and stock ypu with 2 bottles of water daily. I do not understand the criteria to get a 5* because this isn't it at all. I have stayed at 3* that have been better Will I go back? No, not at all. It's really not good value for money especially when you have to love on toast because of food poisoning. I only ate there so cannot have been from anywhere else.

Mel Blockley

Very disappointing to say the least. I experienced rude staff. Everything was an effort. No Cava or Prosecco which I’d have thought was a pretty standard drink. Couldn’t get a decent drink. Dining room was crazy. Waiters weren’t remotely interested in offering any help/service. We ate out every night @ Woodys or Medusa or Frugo’s beautiful and very friendly staff. If it hadn’t been for these finds I’d probably have checked out. The pool area was a shambles beds taken .. beds were either heavy wooden with a faux covering which were slitting. Or cheap 1970’s blue framed which were broken and uncomfortable. Overall a huge disappointment as I wanted it to be special with my daughter before going to university. Rated a 3 star at best. Wouldn’t recommend or waste my money.

Aleksej Korsikovs

We stayed for 7 nights as family of 3.Its a 5* location with 2* food! The good; •Great location •Excellent facilities •Pool snacks •Entertainment and staff The bad; •alcohol is served in paper cups at time •Awful restaurant food - 2 of us were very ill, we lost 2 days of the holiday. Other People were being sick too. Chinese Restaurant -1 , Some food was not fully cooked. Also when we’ve been booking In the description, been writing about inside pool, Yes, it’s have but +16 So if you’re coming with children’s not have chance coming inside! About this one it’s been nothing writing in descriptions!

Olaf Wronski

This hotel is a normal casual hotel for people. Probably not five starts, but still pretty okay. The buildings here don't look too fresh and certainly are not good enough to meet 5-star standards. Every day in the morning, there are some hotel cars passing by, probably some cleaning service, because they smell bad. The beach area is pretty small, but doesn't get flooded entirely, even in some bad weather conditions. The restaurants are at most good, the food options are limited, but are different every day. Most plates and cups are not cleaned too much!! As for the pool, it's not cleaned every day, so it's sometimes unpleasant to go inside. The bars at the pool area are pretty good though and towels are free of charge. The problem is that it is hard to find a free place to lie down after ~11AM. There are also no people looking after you in case of an emergency. There is a spa with an indoor pool, but it is not free. Entertainment is mid tier with a noticeable lack of energy. At any bar, you will need some luck to get a good waiter that will give you the drink, some waiters simply do something on their phones instead of working. The rooms are nice, but the beds are very hard. There is no good WiFi option, only in the main lobby and pool areas. The hotel is also located far from the airport, Roda is 15 minutes by foot and the capital is 1 hour by bus or car. You could probably describe this hotel as a crowded place with a lot of cost cutting everywhere. They also try very hard to make it seem like a good hotel.

denise Qazi

Rooms were as expected. Quite basic need a little updating. Beds are really hard. I felt like I got a pressure bruise on my hip. Food was lovely great variety each day. Wine was surprisingly good 3 white 3 rose and 3 red always found one that was suitable. The desserts were fantastic the best I've had at an all-inclusive. The spa is well worth a visit. Great massage head neck back perfect! Lovely Spa and staff are excellent.

Meg Tait

Me and my partner stayed for 8 days and it was lovely. The hotel itself is beautiful, the room was amazing and very modern with gorgeous views from the veranda. It is a very large complex so we did a lot of walking but there are buggies available to take you around site. I really enjoyed the food, a lot of options and it was nice to try new things. The desserts were also delicious. The food courts around site were very nice also, the bar next to the beach did lovely pasta dishes and pizza around lunch time. We dined in both restaurants on site and really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere in both. The staff were also lovely and welcoming. Overall it was a lovely holiday and thank you to all the staff.

Mikhail Starkov

The resort was great. We had a great week. Amazing buffet - great selection; we definitely overate. The only small thing that we found to be a problem for us is that there is nowhere to go for a walk - the road in front of a resort does not have a pedestrian sidewalk, so for a walk we had to take a buss

Janice Underwood

This is our second visit this year but would have to admit the first time was by far the better visit. The first two rooms offered were totally unacceptable but eventually an amazing hotel receptionist provided us with a good room similar to the one we stayed in on our first visit. Unfortunately coming at the beginning of the season and now at the end of the season you can certainly tell the difference.

Joanne Tatler

Beautiful hotel / apartments. Lovely over looking sea over to main land greece. No shops to walk to so bus to Corfu town €2 1hr or taxi 25 min €30 feel a bit isolated trapped. Food nice but same most night & lunch times but still able to find something nice to eat. Staff are all Fantastic and helpful. Would not be able to stay here with out the buggies that collect and drop you off around hotel due to quite hilly . Beautifully kept grounds . Infinity pool needs cleaning as it's green around edge and needs a bar to get drinks and snacks as doesn't have one . Entertainment been good each night too . All in all enjoyed our stay here thanks to the staff who all work hard .

Lewis Bolland

My wife and I stayed at the Grecotel Costa Botanica, and I honestly think I've never seen a hotel run so well, with staff working so fast and efficiently, and facilities that are both modern and well-maintained. This is the perfect hotel for a family holiday or a fun, luxurious getaway with your partner. This place truly is incredible. A personal thank you to Stamatis, the Assistant Room Divisions Manager, and Vicky from the pool bar for making our stay extra special. You, along with every member of the staff, were amazing! Thank you.

Sheena Lakhani

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. The staff were very kind, and helpful as well as accommodating. The kids club and entertainment was great. Lots to do, with the aqua park and various swimming pools. It was very comfortable and the ala carte restaurants were fantastic. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay. Myself, husband and both kids had a great time.

Donna Welch

We had our first holiday here in the October half term. We had an absolutely fantastic holiday. The rooms were a bit dated but they were not lacking in anything and were perfectly acceptable, just not particularly modern or luxurious. The hotel is set over expansive grounds and is absolutely stunning. The beach is really clean and the sea is the cleanest I've ever seen. There is literally not a drop of seaweed and the views of the mountains from the beach are breathtaking. I saw some sunrises and sunsets that will stay with me forever. There are plenty of places to relax, plenty of sunbeds around and the village style set up really gives it a lovely atmosphere. Everywhere is clean and well kept. The pools were very cold, but then again it was October. The waterpark was really good fun and we loved the lazy river, even if you did have to brace yourself for the cold when you got in! We visited the Asiana and Italian a la carte restaurants. We particularly loved the Asiana, even though for some of the party it was out of their comfort zone for foods they wouldn't usually eat, but in the end we all enjoyed it very much. The staff at Costa Botanica are absolutely fantastic, everyone is friendly and helpful and really enhanced our stay. The evening entertainment was really good and we all enjoyed it. The DJ plays great music. The crepes were really nice and the ice cream was good quality. In general the food in the main buffet was what you would expect of an all inclusive resort that is cooking for the masses. The only couple of downsides really are the mosquitos and wasps! I was bitten so many times,despite using sprays etc and usually they never bother me. My mother in law usually gets badly bitten abroad but we had read some advice to take antihistamines for a few days before coming, which she did due to the fact that she usually gets so badly bitten and this really seemed to help her, so I would suggest doing this. The wasps are a serious problem too round a lot of the drinks machines and you have to risk getting stung to pour yourself a drink. I'm not blaming the hotel for this, but I do think it is something guests should be aware of. I would overall thoroughly recommend this hotel as we had such a great time here.

Sean A

Fantastic hotel, perfect for our family trip, spending 3 nights all inclusive in one of the summer houses. Excellent dining options, plenty of pools and kids activities (including the aquapark!) Plus an amazing selection of food served all day. But best was the service from the staff - super friendly and attentive, always happy to accommodate requests.

Lloyd Bowden

Just arrived. Greeting was superb. Made to feel really welcome and valued. Staff are very well trained and service is of a very high standard. Buffet restaurant is excellent. Food is refreshed and replenished constantly, even after the advertised closing time. Main pool and smaller pool by the Summer Houses are both beautifully clean and like a warm bath. Cocktails around the pool were well made and no scrimping on the alcohol. So far I’m really impressed. This place is amazing!! Highly recommended!!

Luke Whiting

We loved our stay at Pelekas Monastery as a family of four. Our family room which had a sea view balcony was actually bigger than we thought from the photos and had a partition door to divide the kids on their twin single sofa beds and us. The rooms are old and tired but it didn't bother us as we were out most of the day. Despite this, the cleaning service was great and the house-keeper was so lovely - our little boys loved her cuddles and kisses every morning as we left for breakfast. When we arrived at the restaurant, they also delighted in all the lovely waiting staff too. We couldn't have been made more welcome! The buffet food was fantastic and felt authentically home-cooked, including a lot of Greek cuisine, which we were very happy about. The pool definitely needed a good clean and was and was surrounded by the most beautiful setting. Which brings me to the beach which is amazing and clean. Perfect for families woith young kids.

Location is great, so is the beach. The food was delicious and varied, the Staff was friendly and always ready to help. The rooms could use a renovation to match the 5 star rating, but even so they were quite comfortable and the view certainly made up for it. Would go back again in the future :)

We had a wonderful week here. Staff were lovely and accommodating. The views and private beach are spectacular. The shuttle service is brilliant and really convenient. Thank you for an amazing first experience of Corfu.

Fantastic stay for our honeymoon, the hotel is beautiful as is the beach. The food is incredible, a testament to the catering staff. By far the best place me and my wife have stayed. A big thanks to the shuttle bus driver, a true professional and a really nice guy to speak to. Any information you need to know about travelling across the island , ask him. He is a credit to the hotel. All of the staff are wonderful here too, they made our honeymoon an unforgettable experience. Never mind staying here again, I could live here!!

I recently stayed at the Pelekas Monastery hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Here are my observations: Aging Infrastructure: The hotel appears quite rusty and old. Many fixtures and furnishings showed signs of wear and tear. It’s disappointing to see a 5-star property in this condition. Maintenance Issues: There were plenty of broken things throughout the premises. From poor A/C rust in toilets. Bed was not queen size it is only two single beds combined together so couple cannot sleep together basically one mattress higher than other. Broken sun-beds on the beach poor quality coffee... Limited Positives: The only redeeming aspects were the restaurant and some of the pleasant staff members. The restaurant offered decent food, but that alone couldn’t compensate for the overall shortcomings. In summary, I wouldn’t recommend the Pelekas Monastery hotel unless significant improvements are made. For a 5-star rating, guests rightfully expect a higher standard. Unfortunately, this establishment falls short.

It was a good stay overall but our first impression wasn’t great at all. When we checked in and went to our room it was dull, toilet seat was broken and the room stunk. The wall had some sort of holes in it too. We immediately went to reception to complain. This was at night time so we were already tired… The 2 people at reception didn’t seem to have any understanding of how to deal with customer complaints. 2 men they didn’t seem to be friendly whatsoever. Eventually they gave us a better room which had good lighting - we were satisfied with this. The lunch & dinner was repetitive, not much variety ; spaghetti , fries , rice & chicken… could have changed up the food every once in a while? The desserts were okay. Drinks were also okay. We loved the sports staff in particular Cam & Mark, they seemed very friendly and talkative. The WiFi near the pool is a bit awful , the service is just not the greatest. Ibo the man who works with sports staff seems very bossy towards the other staff from what we had seen. The night events were entertaining though.

Very quiet location. Food was good . Drinks for all inclusive crap . But if you want to buy they a good. Staff very polite and friendly. Specially Lia in reception. Hug from us to her. To town you have to buy tickets for both sides £16 by bus . Not so many activities around or at hotel. Evening entertainment very boring I would say. Anyway if you going there enjoy !

The hotel is pleasant but needs a little renovation in places, especially the astro turf. The food is reasonable as well, but it can't quite match the variety of the larger all-inclusive hotels. The area is beautiful. A walk into the hills gives beautiful views over the North Strait of Corfu into the rugged landscape of Albania. There are also some nice little beaches with crystal clear water to enjoy.

We had a wonderful experience at Mareblue Beach Resort in Corfu, and one of the standout aspects of our stay was the exceptional staff. From the reception team to the housekeeping staff, everyone was remarkably polite and friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. However, it was the animation team that truly made our vacation memorable, especially for our little one. Judi, in particular, was fantastic with the children. She went above and beyond to ensure they were happy and engaged, showcasing her creativity through various art and craft activities. Her warm, sunny energy and genuine authenticity made a significant difference in our child's experience. It was heartwarming to see how Judi connected with the kids, making them feel special and loved. Since our return home, our little one has mentioned how much she misses Judi and the fun times spent with her, which speaks volumes about the positive impact Judi had during our stay. We wholeheartedly give 5 stars to Judi and the entire animation team for their dedication and exceptional care. The beach near to the resort was perfect, shallow water and sandy. Thank you for making our vacation unforgettable! We look forward to returning in the future.

This is one of the best locations we as a family of 6 have stayed in Greece. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff would always make up your room if requested. Activities are always encouraged around the pool area from water aerobics, volleyball, football, and water polo all conducted by the staff. Entertainment was on every night with various acts from karaoke to African dancing, and the Greek night was amazing, too. Food was always available and catered for all ages including those who may be a little fussy with food. The staff were always polite, professional, and willing to help. I would recommend this hotel to everyone!
