"Very poor , shared balconies, bad , cold food. Condescending staff, under staffing in all areas except reception, hardly any choice at the bar , children helping themselves to ice cream, plastic glasses were a joke , I understand around the pool but not in the main bar. Dirty showers , dirty toilets , bad lifts infact one had a sharp bit sticking out of it just at ancle height.three types of Terrible terrible music playing on three different speakers all at once , family movie night was pretty woman, yep a film about prostitution lol, no we’re to sit half the time, hardly any sun beds , no organisation, entertainment was poor , infact the woman in charge grabbed 2 children around the pool to stop them jumping in, ramps and steps everywhere, broken lights, snack bar was a warm display fridge where everyone could touch everything just like the ice cream bar, never been in a 4 star hotel that bad I would give it a 2 /3 star , don’t waste your money, do not go ."

"I don’t usually write reviews because I think people can sometimes be a bit overdramatic, but I wanted to leave an honest one about our stay. Overall, we had a lovely holiday and made some amazing memories, but considering how much we paid, I don’t think I’d return. The hotel itself was nice, and the staff were friendly and helpful whenever we needed them. The inside of the hotel was a little old-fashioned and could probably do with some modernising, but it was decently clean and well looked after. Our room was clean and comfortable, although my cousin’s bed had a whole board missing underneath when we first arrived, meaning it completely sank in the middle. We mentioned it at reception and, after asking a couple of times, it was eventually fixed, so we appreciated that it was sorted. One thing that wasn’t a great first impression was arriving at the hotel. There was nobody available to help with suitcases or luggage, so we had to carry everything up a very steep flight of stairs ourselves, which wasn’t ideal after travelling. The biggest disappointment by far was the food. I’m genuinely not a picky eater, and neither are my cousins—we’ll eat pretty much anything—but the food was honestly quite poor. There were only around seven options each evening, which I wouldn’t really class as a buffet. Although the fruit was really nice, Breakfast and lunch were manageable, but dinner was a real struggle most nights. We actually went to bed hungry quite a few evenings. Thankfully, there was a little supermarket right next to the hotel, which came in handy for snacks and drinks. The absolute highlight of the holiday was the beach. It was absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear water, and we could have spent all day swimming and sunbathing there. The views around the hotel were beautiful too, and there were so many Instagram-worthy spots for photos. We also did a boat trip to the Blue Lagoon and one of the nearby towns, which was a really good day out. The scenery was incredible and definitely worth seeing. However, if you suffer from travel sickness, I’d probably give it a miss or make sure you take travel sickness tablets beforehand—the boat can get quite rough! Another thing that really made the holiday special was the people. The locals were so friendly and welcoming wherever we went, and everyone made us feel at home. If you’re planning to visit Corfu Old Town, I’d definitely recommend using Uber rather than booking transport through the hotel. Reception quoted us €50 with around a one-hour wait, whereas our Uber cost €30 and arrived in just seven minutes. Corfu Old Town itself is absolutely stunning and is a must-visit. The World Cup matches being shown on the TV was a nice touch, although the evening entertainment was fairly average. Overall, we really did enjoy our stay and had an amazing holiday, mainly because of the beautiful surroundings, the beach, and the lovely people. However, for the amount we paid, we expected a much better standard, especially when it came to the food. Sadly, that’s the main reason I wouldn’t choose to stay here again."

"Very disappointing. I have never left a review before but felt this is definitely not a 4* as advertised. Hotel very tired-lots of broken fittings in bathroom, a trickle of water from the broken shower between 5-7 and water either scalding or freezing. Air con leaking, adult sleeping on a Z bed. Raw chicken, literally no veggie food, not enough sun loungers or tables for guests, no where to sit. Two items of property taken from our room. Pool unusable due to volume of people and volume of thumping music. Lovely location, weather great, sea beautiful."
