The best available Specialty lodgings to stay near Corfu

April 28, 2023 Jasper Kershner

Corfu is studded with whitewashed houses, Byzantine churches, and the remains of Venetian fortresses and Greek temples. Wander the ancient streets of the Roman village of Kassiopi or explore the central Esplanade of the eponymous Corfu Town. For a DIY spa experience, lather yourself in mineral mud on the shore of the Canal D’Amour. Legend has it that the waterfalls of Nymphes used to attract the mythological beauties of the same name, who would flock to the village to bathe in the pristine waters.

Below Standards, beware of your expectations

Reviewed By ItisaBeautifulWorld

We stayed at Angsana Corfu in the end of May 2022. And what a disappointment. I believe Banyan Tree should review the agreement they have managing this hotel because this will be bad publicity on their name. I will try to keep this review short since it is always sad to make a negative review. The positive: Location. From this locations you can quickly access beaches on both sides of the Island, East and West. Also a quick drive to many sightseeing locations. Close to Benitses centre where You find many great Restaurants. The seeting on the Hill with Beautiful views to Ionian Sea and nice Infinity Pool. We had support from a lovely Concierge, Katia. She was the exception in kindness among the staff. The negatives: Bad service overall from restaurants, beach, pool and Housekeeping. They have a lot of staff but they are under trained and seem to be unhappy. Some of the staff was not friendly, and a few times displayed an aggressive attitude towards us, when we asked for the most simple things. Breakfast, below standard for a Banyan Tree 5 stars hotel in what concerns food quality and diversity. Caffe takes forever to be brought to the table. Often just when we had ended our meal. The floor was never cleaned between clients and a few times I had to mind where to step to avoid fallen food getting to my shoes. Housekeeping. Terrible. Rooms where poorly cleaned. Twice, while having the privacy light on, staff came in to my room. And we where not fully dressed. The corridors accessing the rooms where dirty the whole time. Beach Bar food is just cold sandwiches or salads and with poor quality. Room. We were given a connecting room although we asked for individual room. We where told the hotel was fully booked and we could not move to another. Next day we got a call telling us they had another room but we had already unpacked. And yes You can hear everything that goes on, on the connecting neighbouring room. Upon arrival until checking out nobody asked us if we enjoyed our stay. Exception to a bell boy that helped us with our luggage when leaving. I could share more negatives but it isn't a pleasure to do so. We also spoke with other guests who shared the same feeling of disappointment. Sadly I cannot recommend this hotel.

Stunning!

Reviewed By jacquelinelouise1964

Wow! What to say! Probably the nicest place that we have ever stayed at on our trips to Corfu! A Stunning location and right on the beach. A well thought out and planned swimming and sunbathing area. The pools and pool areas are all very clean and so is everywhere else. Breakfast was outstanding and could not be faulted in any way. The staff here go above and beyond to make sure that you are looked after without being too intrusive. The evening meal was delicious and so was the wine that George recommended. The bar area overlooks the beach and serves a great Pina Colada and other cocktails. We had a ground floor room with a terrace which had a sea view. The room was large with a nice kitchenette area which we didn't need to use as there are some tavernas a short walk away. The bed was large and very comfortable and the location was very peaceful at night and we went to sleep listening to the sound of the sea. The only downside is that we had to leave after 6 nights and we wished we had booked for a longer stay. Thank you to ALL of the staff (even the ones not seen) for an amazing stay!

What a wonderful week, from the weather to the peace and quiet. Mila and Costa were great hosts. Mila is a miracle in the kitchen as the food was amazing. Most days we had the pool to ourselves despite the accommodation being full. We had one issue with the aircon and it was fixed the same day we reported it....superb service. STARS is certainly a place to relax and recharge, a place we look forward to returning to. Thank you Mila and Costa....from Sir Bob and Pauline

Review Upon arriving to Amor Holiday resort at 10:30PM we went to reception to check in and it appeared as though no one was expecting us. We were quickly met by the manager who told us the hotel was not yet ready for us, and we would be staying in a sister hotel for the night. We were told we would be transferring to the hotel by shuttle bus, and the hotel was only 10 minutes away. A man in a white BMW turned up with his child and the manager told us that this would be our lift to the hotel. It was all very confusing as the driver did not speak any English and we weren’t sure where we were going. As it was our first time away this was a very scary experience and the journey ended up being closer to 25 minutes. We were told by the manager there was food being prepared at the hotel we would be staying at, we found out when we arrived at 12AM at night, that the only food being served was food from earlier in the evening which was 2 plates of cold rice and some sort of meat. We spent multiple hours trying to find somewhere to eat in Greece. We kept trying to find the reason as to why we were unable to stay at the planned hotel but to no avail. We were picked up in the morning after breakfast to be taken back to where we were originally staying. We checked into our new room and found out very quickly the air conditioning which was advertised did not work, not only in our room but any rooms in the hotel. We had to ask 4 or 5 times for it to looked at, each time the maintenance person just wondering off after looking at it. After about a day, they did manage to sort it. Me and my girlfriend are not fussy eaters in anyway however the food and drinks the resort are offering under ‘all inclusive’ does not reflect the amount we paid for the holiday. Selection is very limited, with only one main meal being served twice a day, everyday which is spaghetti bolognaise which is not even warm. There is no rotation in food, this is simply all they offer. As for the drinks, you have a selection of apple, orange, and pineapple juice but the machines are broken / dispensing water more often than not. They offer a very limited selection of alcohol which mainly consists of beer. So if you do not enjoy beer, I would strongly suggest not looking into this place any further. Because of the issues with the food and drink, we simply had to eat out every night, which cost us most of the euros we bought which wasn’t that many as we had paid for an all inclusive holiday. On top of all of this, the hotel simply is not ready for visitors. As I understand it, it has recently undergone a renovation, which has clearly not finished. There is maintenance ongoing a lot of the time, including late at night where they are setting rooms up which consists of lots of banging and drilling creating quite a disturbance. The general attitude of staff is unprofessional and smug, often finding thing funny when something is broken or doesn’t work. The only good positives we can say about this resort is the pool, which is lovely and the ladies on reception which really do a good job of making you feel welcome and doing their best to make up for the rest of the issues here. All in all, I would definitely not recommend Amor holiday resort, as it is simply not up to standard or ready to accommodate any guests.

We have just returned from the Solea Apartments. Had a fantastic stay. Rooms very clean and good air con. Bonus having free WiFi. Tatiana and her family looked after us very well. Bus stop right outside to visit nearby resorts €1.40 one way. We walked into Gouvia most nights around 15mins. Full of bars restaurants there. We had the swimming pool to ourselves most days which was cleaned daily. Would definitely recommend these apartments and we would love to visit again. Thank you

We discovered heaven in Corfu! Awesome small family run resort… attentive to everything and everyone, amazing pool, rooms and locally sourced ingredients and food. About a dozen rooms, all individual with a couple of large family sized apartments. Huge area for parking. Comfortable walk to Sidari, far enough away to be quiet but great to stroll along the beach to restaurants. We’ll be back again!

Reviewed By 71sophiew

Stayed in this hotel last week whilst in the coronavirus pandemic. The room was very clean and perfect for what we paid. Room came with air con, a safe hairdryer iron as well as kitchen appliances and soaps shampoo and conditioner all at no extra cost. The hotel is in a perfect location a couple of minute walk to the strip but also quiet and the hotel is on the beach and has stunning views onto the beach and towards mainland Greece from the room. Sun beds are available for free both around the pool and on the beach. The staff were all lovely and the food and cocktails round the pool bar were all nice and great value for money. We also requested to keep our room an extra day as our transfers were not arriving until 6pm and this was also given to us at no extra cost. Could not have asked for a better hotel and would definitely recommend to everyone.

Rantos Apartments is situated in a peaceful location of Kavos in Corfu, just 150 meters from the resort centre and 180 meters from the beach. The complex provides nicely furnished air-conditioned apartments which can comfortably accommodate 2-5 people. The combination of simplicity and functionality make the apartments and the entire complex an ideal place for quiet, relaxing and unforgettable holidays.

Some of the most beautiful beaches in Corfu are located close by. Boat trips to Blue Lagoon, Parga and the beautiful islands of Paxos and Antipaxos are very popular in Kavos. Regular bus services connect Kavos with the airport (40km), Corfu town (40km) and Lefkimi Port (3km) which connects South Corfu with Igoumenitsa, mainland Greece.
