We were offered this hotel by Tui when the hotel we had booked informed our travel agent that it was closing early. We booked an all inclusive package. The staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly. The hotel was clean and the room comfortable. The bathroom needed updating as it was impossible not to flood the floor when showering as the doors did not seal but there was plenty of hot water which was good. Be aware that the inclusive package only included ouzo and local brandy, beer and wine in their alcoholic drinks package, white & black coffee, and soft drinks did not include diet options. We were aware that there was a charge for sunbeds around the pool and on the beach but the daily rate for two was a bit more than we expected. Food was tasty but choice was quite limited so a fussy eater might struggle. The bistro bar, where we spent most of our time, provided seating and was right near the beach. The sea was easy to access and looked safe for swimming. The bistro bar was open to the public and there was a noticable difference between how all inclusive guests and paying guests were treated. Paying guests were served and were offered different crockery, with the niceties of crisps or nuts or biscuits with their drinks but not for armband wearers. We got our own drinks and there were no little extras. Athough the waiters were always polite, we have to admit to feeling like second class citizens despite in reality, having actually paid in advance. We were the only British people there and they very much catered for the German holiday market. There was no Tui rep ( which we did know in advance) so no offers of tours or sightseeing but there were places within walking distance that offered those and the locals were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is not somewhere that is going to provide children's entertainment but it might suit those who are happy to entertain their own children and enjoy a quiet beach holiday. It wasn't quite what we have been used to when booking an all inclusive holiday but as older people we enjoyed the quiet and being able to sit by the sea and watch the world go by!

The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms was nice size and the balcony was also a nice size with enough room for a table and two chairs, there was also a pull out washing line, which was very handy the Hotel is located in nice and peaceful area, close to the beach and not near a busy road. The only thing that let it down was the food and the fact they had several countries flags flying outside the entrance and the English Union Jack was upside down Just one bit of advice if you have not been to Corfu before. This idnt to do with Hotel .Please be aware that all the trips I went on didn't tell us about the hidden charges. Unlike any other country where I've been on a trip , they do not provide any food or drink.also if you have Mobility problems please check with the tour people.also please remember to bring your Euros as you get a better exchange rate in England
