Chavo Del Ocho
Not 5 stars!!
This hotel looked amazing, me and my brother booked 2 rooms at the main building with our wives and kids.
We had so many expectations but left disappointed.
Overly crowded, no place to sit at breakfast, no place at the beach...they have a whole peninsula to themselves and no places for the people they host. I had 3 kids of my own and 2 of my brother, we went to a different beach in Ipsos, outside the resort. Imagine paying +700 per room and not having where to relax and swim.
Additionally, booking restaurants in the resort? Nightmare, concierge tried to help but couldn't book the ones we liked. We had to go to the far city center 30min away to find something to our liking.
A plus side that I have to mention are the water sports they had, it was a nice thing to have them in the resort and the gym was great as well as the coach.
Rooms need renovation, it's not as it looks in the pictures. Beware not to have a room with a view of the first floor roof which is not very pleasant since we expected a nice sea view and not a roof and parking.
I heard Grecotel is the top of the top in Greece, utilizing the name of the country in the company and the place to experience Greek hospitality. But do they respect the fellow Greek workers? Spoke to some waiters in the Mon Repos breakfast...young kids, unexperienced, overworked, having even difficulty with English. They told me they came here for internships and so on and they are used as slaves. Underplayed and living in mediocre conditions in a small shared room.
Met some manager of the front office, she tried to fix our issues but didn't settle for her proposal of free Dine Club dinner and boat trips. She seemed very pretentious and I can recognize a fake smile when I see one. Can't fool me.
I will not come back to your hotel chain and hope people read this comment which I kept for this period so its relevant in the reviews.
I don't know who manages this hotel and who is the owner but major changes are needed.

A beautiful hotel locate on a pretty peninsula with fantastic views in all directions. There are multiple hideaway spots for relaxing during the day around the pool or or on the sand at one of the beaches. Service was good and everyone was very friendly. Would be happy to return one day. 5 stars

Very comfortable rooms with excellent service. The food was really good but expensive if not included in your booking. The hotel is situated in private grounds with its own sandy beaches and a small island which you can walk to over a boardwalk. Very peaceful. In October it was 24C every day with no rain. If you don;t have a car, be aware that taxis are expensive and the hotel is quite isolated. There is a courtesy bus to Corfu Old Town though. We really enjoyed our stay.

I gave this hotel a 5 star review on everything because they deserve it. My husband and I enjoyed every moment in this hotel (we stayed for 11 nights), the beach is amazing the staff on the beach are very welcoming shout out to nick for making our stay comfortable. The restaurants are good if you have something in mind and they don’t have it on the menu just ask them and they will cook it up for you. The rooms are comfortable the AC is amazing. All of the staff there are respectful, and welcoming, a special thank you to the hotel manager she is absolutely wonderful and has made our stay very memorable. I would definitely come back here and I would absolutely recommend this hotel to friends and family.

An amazing location with pristine clear water and sandy beaches. There are beautiful sunsets every evening that you can watch from the hotel terrace. It is ideal for families with kids. Very nice spa with a wide range of services. The hotel is very modern with beautiful interior design and lots of places to relax. However we didn’t enjoy the food that much.
