Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated on a hill with amazing views. The rooms were very outdated and only just ok clean, but did provide plenty of storage space. Sadly, the small and dirty bathroom with no towels and no cleaning between guests left a disgusting image in our minds.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel had stunning views overlooking the pool and beach, offering unforgettable sunsets from the large balcony. The service was top-notch, taking care of our every need. However, the dining options left something to be desired, with limited quality choices.
The hotel had some positives like amazing service but fell short in terms of room cleanliness and noise from outdoor air conditioning units. The large bathroom was a nice touch, although the sofa beds made the room feel small. The location was convenient for catching the bus to Corfu town, and the dining options were varied, although the quality was inconsistent.
The hotel offers perfect views of sunsets every evening from the clean and comfortable rooms. While some newer rooms lack advertised features like a seating/lounge area, most rooms have showers over the bath. The service, although mostly exceptional and entertaining, had a minor cringy moment with overly enthusiastic staff. The location is great for relaxation and modernized cleanliness, but could be unsafe at times. The dining experience varied but was mostly good, with a disappointing full English option at times. The hotel provides various facilities to enhance the stay.
My stay at this hotel was a good trip away with more pros than cons. Although the rooms could use an update, they are still more than adequate, offering a sea view and balcony. The food, decor, and atmosphere were perfect.
