I wanted to write a review as I had been reading them a lot before our trip, so hopefully this will be useful to others! Like most people mention, the hotel is in desperate need of updating, definitely for an advertised 4 star hotel. That said, the basic rooms didn’t bother me, they were clean (the cleaning staff were so lovely and worked very hard) and the bed was very comfy. We had our youngest son in with us and there was nowhere near enough storage space or hangers, but we made do. For a couple it would have been fine. We paid extra for a sea view, and it was well worth it. The views from our balcony were stunning. There are two pools, we opted to use the children’s pool mainly as it was quiet and had lovely scenery around, but it is a bit of a walk on an incline with a lot of steps, so not the most accessible for wheelchairs/pushchairs. We did use the main pool too but it was pretty busy. Both pools have a bar next to them, serving alcohol and soft drinks and really nice ice cream of 5/6 flavours. We’d never had a choice of flavours like this in an all inclusive resort so that was a bonus, especially for the kids! Plenty of sun beds available. Loved that the beach is literally over the road with an underground tunnel so it’s safe to get to, and again another bar serving drinks and ice cream. We had two days on the beach, we did get up early (7-8 ish) to get beds but went down later one morning and there were still plenty left. The sea is beautiful, so clear and we fed the fish with bread. Was a lovely experience, there were hundreds round us at one point. It is very rocky / shingle though so swim socks/beach shoes are a must! Food was tasty, plentiful and hot and constantly replenished. Restaurant staff were so polite and attentive. I’m a fussy eater as are my children but there was more than enough to choose from. Breakfast could be improved by offering more fruit options, but none of us went hungry. I can’t comment on the entertainment or kids clubs as our boys are too old for that now but I was disappointed that none of the pool tables were working. There was a heatwave whilst we were there so unfortunately it was too hot for them to be out in, so I do feel there needs to be more for older kids to do inside. This was our biggest disappointment. Location is quiet, we did get a taxi into Corfu old town (40 euros one way) which we loved as offered a taste of authentic Corfu. We also got the bus to Benitses just for a change of scenery. Overall I felt this hotel offers great value for money. For a “fly and flop” holiday it’s brill and we made some lovely family memories.
