A 5 star hotel with amazing staff

Reviewed By amandacY7567XT

We stayed for 11 nights on the ultra all inclusive package and had a wonderful experience, the hotel is gorgeous and the staff are exceptional. All of them are so pleasant, friendly, efficient; Lucia on reception was particularly helpful. My hotel app wasn’t working so she helped us book all the hotel excursions with such patience, she’s a dream. Alexos who helped us with our luggage was suoer, Cedric up at the Aquapark.pool bar is an absolute ray of sunshine, and Veny at the Asian Restaurant, again what a joy, nothing too much trouble, they are all amazing. Food is fabulous, a little slow on sone of the restaurants but we weren’t in a hurry so it was never a problem. The hotel grounds are immaculate, glorious colours and yellow butterflies everywhere. We spent most of the time by the beach where we did paddle boarding, kayaking and pedalos which were all courtesy of the hotel, Also up at the Aquapark which gets busy but it’s fun and has a lovely infinity pool. If you go, try and book the hotel boat to Corfu town and the sunset cruise which are really worth doing but you have to book as soon as you get there as they get full really quickly. My son tried the kids club and although the team were fantastic with him he felt that 11 he was too old and the kids were a lot younger, but there were plenty of things to keep him occupied around the hotel and water sports etc. We didn’t travel with Jet2 holidays however we found their rep Sophie to be far more accessible and informative than ours, she really gave us some great information during our stay, Jet2 should value her! One more thing, all the public areas smell gorgeous, it’s the hotel’s signature scent which you can buy as a room spray or in candle form from the hotel shop, it smells divine! We will definitely return to this gem of a hotel in a gorgeous location.

We've just had 2 weeks all inclusive. Overall the hotel is really very good and the staff are exceptional. The room was spectacular and the views to die for. Thanks to Aneta for keeping it spotless. The food was very good. The choice in the Buffet restaurant was first class and the service also. Many thanks to Maria, Georgia and all the staff who work so hard. Special thanks to "Gus" the Restaurant Manager who was superb. Special mentions to the Poolside bar staff, Eva and particularly "Harry" who looked after us for the duration.Excellent! A really nice young man. All the staff were very good from the towel man to the pool cleaners. One disappointment regarding the pool area is the toilets, they really need a makeover as we felt they where a bit "Grotty". Apart from that we would definitely go back when the travel industry get off their arse's and give us value for money and not the horrendous conditions we have to put up with at present.

Perfect family holiday ?

Reviewed By PinkButterflyUK

This was our 1st holiday abroad with our one year old, and we couldn't have wished to stay at a nicer hotel. Everything was just perfect. We stayed half board, and that worked so well for us having a little one to get meals conveniently. The breakfast & evening buffets were fantastic quality & so much variety, with a different theme every night. Our little boy loved it too! Plenty of highchairs. The main pool & kids splash park were great! Was nice having the shallow kids pool too, for our son to explore. Everything was spotless, and the poolside service was a welcome touch. We loved the pool bar & Eden cocktail bar where we enjoyed some yummy cocktails from the lovely Nico. The cleaners worked so hard everyday, doing such a fab job. As did the maintenance guy, he seemed to work all hours of the day. His conifers are great! As many others have mentioned, the close proximity to the airport (short transfer with a toddler is ideal!), beach and strip was perfect. And last but not least, the staff are what make this hotel. Every single person we encountered was amazing. They always took time to say hello, and talk to our son, such friendly people. Special mention to the 3 waiters we had the pleasure of being served every meal, Kostas, Andreas & Alex. They were so lovely to us. And Sevi who made us feel so welcome, always chatting to us and checking we were okay. We would highly recommend this hotel, and really do hope to come back. Overall, one of our best holidays! Thank you

Reviewed By fifiNorthLondon

Beautiful location. Hotel amenities good. A La carte restaurants absolutely amazing. Feel the buffet could be better however most visits the service was good. Tough walk to the beach but very worth it. Can request a car to get you back up the hill. Would be nice to have music down there. The beach came alive during the music for the water aerobics… changed the whole atmosphere Got a great room upgrade - very thankful. Think the hotel need to review their policy on late checkout! Would also just highlight that the taxi boat the hotel use to take clients to Corfu town ( it’s a cost to you - not free) is not the best and I believe it could be a major risk if there was ever an incident. Too many people on one boat… 16 people!! … people sat on floor… not acceptable.!! Would advise to pay a little more and get a private boat.

Thank you Christos for the best massage I have had (and I have had many). I have muscular problems due to a health condition and I was in a lot of pain with my shoulder- but not now. I can now enjoy my holiday. The massage was also wonderfully relaxing and very enjoyable. Booked in again just to enjoy the experience and keep that shoulder pain free!

We stayed for 6 nights which we was very pleased with our stay. Staff pick you up in buggies and take you from reception to room and room to pool. Nothing is too much for the staff there. The pools although they were shallow they were all lovely and clean , and the adults only part of the resort was always very chilled and empty. Which made our stay even more enjoyable

Lovely clean modern hotel. Stayed in room with twin beds and armchair / bed , which was comfortable for 7yr old . Staff friendly and very helpful . No issues at bar getting more than 1 drink at a time . Food good , would have liked more choice of plain veg at meal times . Snack bar offers good choices and often ate there at lunch time . A list of drinks available would be good as not sure what was in AI package. Branded drinks had to be paid for . Choice of 3 pools , staff always around taking empty glasses . Very quiet on a evening, no entertainment just music from bar . Most people sitting chatting or playing cards . This wasn't problem for us as grandson happy to play Uno or dobble. More of a couples hotel for those who want to chill or have base to explore . Around 10 to 15 minute walk to Laganas, which we did a few times to go to beach . Got taxi to Kalamaki a couple of times just for a change . Lovely hotel, quiet rooms , clean environment, decent food , pleasant staff. Would possibly return but not with children .

Family holiday, lovely setting

Reviewed By Laura-NW

We (family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children age 9 and 6) stayed here for 10 nights at the end of May into June, during the UK school half term holiday. The hotel has a lovely setting, directly on the beach. Our room was directly to the side of the reception area, across from the shop, so had a good location for quick access to all amenities. The room was a lot smaller than we had anticipated and the wardrobe / storage space for a family of 4 is a problem - there just isnt enough and no storage space upstairs in the maisonette accommodation. I would suggest taking coat hangers as there were only 5 in the wardrobe and we stored multiple items on 1 hanger. We arrived mid afternoon and were disappointed by the 'snackline' which consists of 2 choices of cake, 2 or 3 choice of biscuits and a few different small sandwiches, together with juice. The exact same choice is provided daily at the 'snackline'. We would have expected different choices for a 5* albeit note that Jet2 etc promote this as a 4* which is closer to reality. The resort is heavily dominated by French guests with an average age of 65. The entertainment was all in French and there wasnt any interest from the female French reps to engage with anyone who wasn't French. The male French reps did make some effort with the English children. The French sat around in large circles in the evening, dominating the bar space. We found this behaviour incredibly rude and divisive and this needs to be addressed. The French wear a red band to show that they are part of the 'clan'. No other nationalities wear this band. The behaviour was bizarre,we described it as cult-like. On the first evening, we took our children to the 'theater' where the French reps stand at the door. One rep said "this is all in French". That was our cue for, 'you're not welcome'. I can speak French at an average conversational level; this they had not considered and therefore I could understand some of what was being said. We did speak with the Jet2 rep at the hotel, who was lovely and was going to look into whether the French have a different contractual arrangement with the hotel that Jet2 etc donot have and commented that this would be a problem to the company if that we're the case. The entertainment was pretty poor, definitely not 5* standard. There were a couple of evenings where there were some Greek dancers and a very good singer but there were no shows and sometimes the entertainment was literally background music and nothing else. Notably there was an entertainment schedule/ board for the French and a separate one for everyone else. There was no evening entertainment listed on the board for other nationalities, however I could understand the detail on the French board, however this sent a strong message that the entertainment was for the French and noone else. This is divisive on many levels. The food in the restaurant was hit or miss. We were excited to be enjoying Greek cuisine whilst away; koftas etc etc but this was not the case. Expect rabbit and pork on a daily basis, recycled food i.e. pork surprise with a different sauce poured on top! We saw koftas and moussaka etc once or twice during our stay. The food is not 5* standard and probably 3* at best, needing immediate attention from the chef and team. We did complain and we aren't complaining types. We decided that on the 3rd night of seeing fish fingers at the kids station, rabbit again and our son coming back from the breakfast bar with a plate of sprouts, enough was enough. Fish fingers are at the kids station every night (our son now refuses to eat them due to fish finger overface) and the kids food station is never open at lunch time. If you're lucky, you might see a few chicken nuggets come out to the kids station. We asked where the pizza's, burgers, plain chicken breasts etc were, these have to be paid for in the payable a la carte on site. We didn't know that we weren't going to be able to eat at these other restaurants unless we paid a charge. We were told by management that we could name what we wanted and they would cook it with 20 minutes notice, which was very good of them. Our boys therefore had a plain chicken breast a couple of nights. We spent a lot of money (over £4k) on this holiday and expected much more from the food here. We went to the quiet pool one day and stayed 30 minutes. The residents around the pool (average age of 65/70 years) appeared like meerkats staring at us as our children were having fun in the pool. I asked my children to keep the noise down and thought what on earth am I doing, we're on holiday, they can have fun. We left and returned to the main pool. The slides are only open 4 hours per day which again we weren't expecting. Please just open the slides all day. Children are on holiday and want to have fun. The beach is lovely but there is a lot of seaweed to wade through. Staff do try and clear it but it's impossible, there's just so much. I'd suggest taking beach / sea shoes. We used the pedalo, payable at the kiosk on the beach, this was fun for us all. We visited the Life Bar next door a couple of times, this was a lovely bar and Taz the owner is lovely. We would highly recommend you visit. There's free pool and WiFi available and great music. We went out to Kavos to eat one evening but returned to the hotel soon after eating. You'll appreciate the hotel on return. Kavos is very run down. The staff are all really lovely at the resort. It's a lovely setting, incredibly clean and tidy but requires some attention to the points I've shared here. I really hope this is helpful. I don't want to deter anyone from visiting but just share honest reflections so that expectations are managed. Not many visitors seem to share posts on here and I was checking this website daily for a month before we travelled. Had our expectations been managed, it may have helped a little. The staff did share with my husband that the balance in the summer is 50:50 French:English in August, whereas 80% of guests were French whilst we were there, 10% English and 10% German and other nationalities.
