We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. All of the staff are so friendly and attentive. The room was really clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. My favourite thing about this holiday was the atmosphere and the music around the pool. The food was really good too.

Absolutely phenomenal hotel, all staff were fantastic, housekeeping were always so lovely and made sure the rooms were always perfect. Food, drinks and service were amazing. The atmosphere was always top class. Just an all round fantastic and clean hotel. Only downside is the fact you can hear a lot in the hotel room from surroundings, but that didn’t take away from the experience of this place.

We loved our stay at Cooks Club. The hotel is in a great central location with easy access to all the great bits of the island.
The hotel has been designed beautifully inside and out. Not only that but it's very clean and there were always pleasant staff to greet you. The lobby, dining hall and grounds are all immaculate and aesthetically pleasing.
The rooms are a decent size and ours overlooked a mountain which was lovely! The bed was very comfy and the room was nicely appointed. It had a luxury feel.
The app that they use to order food works seamlessly. There was a good choice every night and it wasn't all the same stuff. There was a good choice of Greek cuisine too. This is no buffet, food is delivered beautifully to your table. The a la carte restaurant is amazing. The best food we had on the island! Don't be afraid to order something a bit different!
There is a good array of drinks too. You don't feel hemmed in by the all inclusive at all.
So summary- great hotel! I would visit this one and the others in the group. Don't hesitate to book!

As regular fans of Cooks Club, we were disappointed by our stay at Cooks Club Corfu. While the staff is friendly and helpful, the hotel did not meet expectations. The all-inclusive package is overpriced for the low quality of food, which felt more like a canteen experience.
The hotel isn’t suitable for relaxation either, with loud music playing all day and live performances at night, making it hard to sleep. The location is far from appealing, with no beach nearby and a setting that feels industrial. You can hear traffic from the main road every morning and throughout the day.
Overall, this stay was a disappointment, and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the Cooks Club standard we’ve experienced elsewhere.

I’d like to give a fair review of our stay at this resort. Whilst the design and concept of this hotel is stunning, I really don’t think it is worthy of 5 stars. It seems luxurious at surface level but there is some false advertising - first of all, the nearby sea is not very pleasant and the surroundings of the hotel are quite bleak. Not a problem if you don’t want to leave the resort, so it didn’t lose a star from me as we caught a bus from outside the hotel when we wanted to visit Corfu town and rented a car for days we fancied exploring nice beaches (don’t rent a car or book excursions via the hotel - it’s twice the price. You’re better off doing your research beforehand). We didn’t really fancy staying in the hotel much as it was full of moody British tourists that brought the vibe down. Not the hotel’s fault though so doesn’t impact my rating, just worth pointing out if you don’t want to feel like you’re in the UK!
Secondly, the facilities are not quite 5 star level. The “mixologist” is just a bunch of bartenders who mix a few things together with syrups/purees. Which is fine, but sometimes drinks would be garnished nicely and other times they would be quite basic. The barista is also just a bartender that makes the coffees or instant coffee machines, not quite so exciting. The street food options are quite basic and repetitive but the Cantina and restaurant menus are great and we had no issues with any of the food as vegetarians. It all tasted good! I would expect though, at a 5 star resort, that the management would engage more with customers and make sure they are happy. It’s a good opportunity to find out issues during their stay, especially when the reception staff are not approachable in the first place if you want to raise anything! If you don’t cause a fuss they are just… fine.
Lastly, I think there is a massive issue with management at this hotel. A lot of the staff seem miserable, especially the bar staff and front of house. The only genuinely nice interactions we had were with the cleaners and restaurant/Cantina staff. Funnily enough, the ones without a tip jar nearby. The bar staff were often moody and seemed stressed. We at one point asked them for advice on what to do on the Island and one mentioned to go to Sidari. We did enough research to show that Sidari is a trashy place for Brits so a bit of an odd suggestion. These are the same people that complain visitors don’t leave the resort and explore Corfu. I don’t think they are going to if you don’t actually want to share the beauty of the island! So yeah, it seems obvious that management at this hotel do not treat their staff well so I think they need to focus on finding decent managers rather than the concept. This is the reason driving my rating down to be honest.
Everything else was great. Hotel was clean, super comfy, the room and view was lovely (if you want a quiet room, ask for it when booking rather than complaining about music at a party hotel!). Food was tasty and had a good variety. The restaurants were great and had a good selection but don’t bother paying for wine with your meal - they don’t tell you straight up but you can order from the cocktail/normal drinks menu as normal and not have to pay extra.
Finally, the hotel don’t give much information when you check in on a lot of things, such as activities - never ended up being told how to book onto yoga, tennis, sound healing etc that was advertised. Also the coffees that the bartenders make can be good when customised but they don’t tell you that and most people rely on the machines!
On the whole, our stay was pleasant but could have been a more positive experience if the environment was nicer and friendlier. Thank you to the staff for all their hard work, especially our cleaner on the 2nd floor who greeted us kindly every single day and checked if we needed anything. The restaurant staff were also lovely and would greet you every time they passed us!
