“Incredible”

Just back from an incredible week away as a family of 4 (2teenagers). The hotel was even better than expected considering it’s a 4 star. Rooms were spotless and cleaner daily. Pool was lovely too with very comfortable Bali style beds. The la mer beach club was also perfect, same beds, lovely choice of food and drink and the sea water was exceptional. Breakfast was incredible, so much to choose from. Evening meals were a bit of a hit or miss, always somthing to eat but we did eat out a few times which wasn’t a problem. We will book hear again for sure and upgrade to a swim up room. We had 2 pool facing suites with massive balconies and beautiful views.

“Poor food and restaurant”

Beautiful hotel lovely pool and gardens. Can’t fault the place other than the restaurant. Too small, large queues very little seating for larger groups. The main issue which was clearly affecting everyone was the infestation of wasps constantly on your food, in your drinks. I couldn’t see anyone enjoying the experience it was very rushed and had to clear my own plates to try and reduce the amount of flies and wasps. This could be easily improved with traps and something as basic as fans in the restaurant area.

Beautifully designed hotel, lots of flowers and hardworking staff. BUT the food was terrible and the noise from traffic and music constant. Breakfasts ok. Dinners 2*. All overcooked beyond recognition and often edibility. Salads were nice and fresh mainly because they hadn’t been fried too long and then put under a hot lamp too long. Food sometimes actually burnt so it tasted bitter. Fish twice in the week I was there and was same each time despite “theme” nights. Meats and chicken overcooked and chewy. Lots of chips, pasta to sustain kids. Practical info (if you haven’t already booked, don’t!)If you have info below might be useful. Take cash for hotel there is a charge on card transactions and cash seems to be lower price. The first atm as you turn right out of hotel allows withdrawals using mobile phone card/wallets. Pool area is very slippy when wet. Sunbeds at a premium. Everyone towel bags even though hotel asks you not to. Room cleaning is adequate but no info as to towel changes etc, every other day no info on how to adjust air con (I had a teen with me) or to reset safe and how to use. We didn’t have our coffee cups (there is kettle) washed or changed at all All the pools are at least 1.5 m deep and only steep steps to access, unless you have swim up rooms. Swim up rooms nice but will spend at least 1/2 day in shade. And there are some guests who seem to dominate playing their own music so everyone had to hear it along with the constant loud music from the hotel entertainment. Kavos is awful. Dirty. Lots of half built closed down units. Huge range of slogan. T shirts that you would pray your kids don’t read and start an awkward conversation. Some cute jewellery beads etc. lots of phallic ashtrays and lighters. No pavements so super scary with toddlers and kids as it is a busy noisy road. Beach filthy and I mean filthy. The hotel’s own beach area looked very nice but no info or map to it in hotel -turn left and 2 min walk then across the road Food in hotel was expansive but if you were lucky not bad (don’t have the poke bowl, Greek salad was lovely) and Kavos is also expensive for rubbish food. Bowl of spag Bol 15 euro. Kids burger etc 9euro. There is nice Italian nearby and also Big Max is best value. There looked to be pretty taverna on beach Rousos. Turn right out of hotel and lots of minimarts for water and eateries etc. (and those 1970s style souvenirs 🍆). Floats used in pools. Lots of people leave behind so you can grab one. But wouldn’t want to take a kid who wasn’t a good swimmer or toddler who was a”runner” as gate always open and gaps in fence at back. I feel hotel means well but is just not being run as a 4*. Other top tip if you have late departure, lovely shower available but you have to book a time slot in advance. Unfortunately this seems to be a secret. Corfu airport very expensive for food etc. Overall disappointed with this trip. But that’s Tui these days- over promises under delivers.
