  Cheap and cheerful

  ust returned and mixed feelings but mostly good. Firstly you get what you pay for, it was the cheapest all inclusive we could find so our expectations were low. 1 Star - Food, it was not good and I can honestly say I couldnt find one nice thing to eat. It wasnt inedible but not enjoyable either. No upset tummies though. 3 Star - Drinks were typical all inclusive, weak and not great. Although the fizzy and fruit juice soft drinks were ok. 3 Star - Room, very dated and shabby but clean. Bathroom was patched up with random and bad repairs. Our shower wouldnt hang on the wall without flipping down against the wall, meaning we had to hold it above our heads and some of the water came out of the tap and some out of the shower. HOWEVER I raised it with reception and it was repaired within 20 minutes which was impressive. My sheet came off the mattress one day and I was surprised to find a mattress that looked brand new. They were a bit hard (cheap?) so my daughter said she didnt sleep well. 4 Star - Room and hotel cleanliness, we couldnt fault it! I dropped something behind the fridge In our room and expected it to be dirty but it was clean which surprised me. On that note it was the best fridge Ive had in a hotel as it kept everything really cold. Everything else in the hotel was very clean as well. 4 Star - Staff, friendly and always had a smile on their face. All spoke reasonably good English which helps but Im not one of those that thinks they should! (cannot understand how people in reviews complain if English is not spoken. Its a foreign country so why should they?) 4 Star - Pool and sun beds, the pool was not huge but was deep. We were worried because our 6 year old couldnt reach the bottom at the shallow end and his swimming wasnt strong, however it took a day for that to improve immensely. There was a little shallow kids pool but that was for very young children so if youve got little kids the pools are not ideal. Initially it looked like there wasnt a lot of sun beds but it wasnt an issue, we were always able to get two with a parasol. Overall it was fine, other than the food. As I said at the beginning you get what you pay for. Summary- food was bad, hotel was a bit shabby but very clean and staff were very nice.

  It's 3 Star and no more

  I just left here on 12/09/2020 after a weeks stay all inclusive. I will give my honest review based on what I experienced over the week. 1. The Room. Very clean, somewhat dated with wooden fixtures and a very tiny bathroom, which included a hairdryer. A decent sized balcony, and free aircon which actually worked. Plenty of storage space and our double bed was firm but not uncomfortable, extra pillows were available in the cupboard. We could choose the frequency of our maid service to change bedding etc which was a nice touch. 2. The Food. As all inclusive customers we would have expected better. Breakfast was fatty bacon, powdered egg omelette, baked beans and whatever was salvaged from the previous day. There was plenty of breads to choose from but they were all stale. If you wanted to toast your bread the toaster was so slow it would barely heat the bread! No microwave was available but is essential as everything was cold. Lunch was no better, reheated fatty pork, an usual fish dish which was like snot, an undescribed meat pie and Spinach pie?? All of the food was served by a staff member, you had no choice to choose how much and it was piled up on your plates, even salt and vinegar was rationed, not to mention butter and sugar, it was like being in primary school!! We decided to snub the 'restaurant' and eat out which meant we weren't getting what we had paid for and it cost us another 200 euros on top! Dinner was a joke, the same sad reheated left overs from lunch, just one look and you knew it wasn't going to end well. 3.Entertainment. Non Existent! The restaurant played music from a local FM radio station. The bar music from 10am was akin to funeral music streamed from youtube, after 12pm it was another youtube feed with god knows what which continued until midnight! 4. The Pool. It was wet!! Cleaned just once during our stay, the same inflatables and rubbish was left for days, it was only cleaned after our 4th day there and no more. 5. Location. Basically it's in the middle of nowhere. A few supermarkets to the left and a mile walk to the right to find anyone alive! There is a half decent beach but beware the steep descent, a sign that says 'To the beach' leads you to a steep drop so don't bother with that. 6. The staff. Can't fault them. Greece is in dire straights with the euro and it's not going well for them. All the staff were the most welcoming we could have hoped for. From reception to restaurant to pool bar we met some lovely people just trying to survive. Summary: My review has been honest, it was how I found it. Under the current circumstances it would be unfair to blame the staff for what is happening. It is what it is as they say. But they do have to take notice of their customers needs. You can't sell an experience and not deliver.

  Lovely

  Our room was perfect for us directly over looking the sea. Equipped with fridge, water bottles, bedside lights, footstool, clean towels everyday and air con. Was just stunning. Staff are very friendly, helpful and welcoming The food was okay but there is room for improvement. The advise we would give the hotel is to invest in insect repellent to reduce guests getting bitten. Corfu is beautiful

  Last minute gem, awesome staff and great sea views from our balcony!

  2 holidays cancelled due to covid so we found this Corfu gem at the last minute! Very good 3* with slightly older furnishings but spotless spacious rooms with a/c and our ocean/pool facing balcony was excellent. We watched the sunset every evening over the ocean and even a couple of beautiful thunderstorms! Meals were good with plenty of home cooked offerings. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, from front desk to housekeeping, kitchen & dining room all with a friendly greeting all the time! Nikki and Tino at the pool bar were especially friendly to us! All in all a great relaxing holiday for us! Highly recommend if you don't require 5*!

  A cheap hotel, not a lot to do, great supermarket next door.

  1) Room basic but clean. 2) Food canteen service with local radio channel screeching away. Only one domestic toaster they have two but saved one. 3) Bar outside, well opens and closes to the second wasps and mozis everywhere, I asked the bar staff "why doesn't someone find the nest" he looked at me as if I was from mars. 4) We spoke to a trader in the town who said the hotel is normally used by eastern Europeans, which explains a lot.
