The best hotel we could of asked for. Every member of staff was so genuinely happy to help and very kind. The room was absolutely spotless. All the food has been incredible. Definitely would stay here again and have reccomended to family members.

This hotel lives up to everything that's been said about it before. We got upgraded to a sea view bungalow as it was our 20th wedding anniversary while there. ALL of the staff are wonderful. The views and scenery are amazing. The restaurants are very good and make sure you book them as the a la carte restaurants get booked up quickly. DEFINITELY returning here again soon and DEFINITELY recommend it .

Staff were amazing, all so friendly. Food was delicious and had a reasonably wide variety of options. Many cocktail options and other drinks which were all very good. Room was nice and clean. Hotel in great location. Only downside was the pool was freezing!! Hardly ever anyone in it because it was so cold your legs would go numb, might not be so bad in the height of summer but still very cold, sea was a lot warmer.

Location 6/10 stunning views from the beach, however there is not much around to view from the beach. A taxi into Corfu town will cost you around €40 one way. The hotel does provide a shuttle bus service at €10pp this runs as an option from 10-2 or 5-8. There is also a fast boat that runs from the dock on the beach into town at a cost of €25, this was great as it felt almost like a mini excursion and really got the wind in our hair, however this is not suitable for people with mobility issues as when arriving at Corfu town the boat only stops at a wall you must climb up. The hotel is home to many beautiful trees and flowers and alongside this some great wildlife, with many swallows, eagles, owls, firefly's, fish and lizards to be spotted. You will also find many friendly cats looking for a scrap of food or a friendly scratch behind the ear. The hotel is based in a valley and as such has a large hill between the hotel and beach. There is sometimes a cart that will run you back and forth but we only managed to catch it once in our trip Staff: we found the majority of staff to be lovely and especially want to shout out Sara, Natalia and Charles on the bars who was always super friendly and nothing too much trouble. The rest of the staff was polite and always warmly greeted us. The only downside on this was we found the guest service ladies to come across as very snobby and we didn't receive the same service as we saw other new arrivals receive. Cleanliness: The hotel for the majority is view clean. All guest areas are spotless and you will regularly see the cleaners polishing windows or mopping floors in the lobby. The restaurants were always clean and tidied as soon as a guest left. We found our rooms to be genuinely spotless with regular bed changes and fresh towels on the bed daily. The mini bar is also refreshed most days. The only downside we had about cleaning is that we came home to find our balcony door unlocked many times, we was on the beach in a corner so could of been an easy target, there was also black mold above the tap and basin where it has not been siliconed against the wall. Food: for the most part very good, we found the buffet to be better then the 4 al a carte restaurants and really didn't rate Gatopardo or Asia Oliveira in terms of food, hotstone was nice but we felt the cuts of meat was poor, and we said some people who do not know how to cook steak may not enjoy this as you cook yourself. The tavernaki is a beautiful setting and lots of food and was our highlight of the 4. The buffet itself was semi varied but we always found something different to have over the 10 days. They also provide a light options lunch with a delicious club sandwich, wraps past 11pm and a patisserie. The bars were very good and provided lots of options for drinks however sometimes we was stood waiting for 25 mins to order 2 glasses of wine as they have lots of cocktails on the list. I would strongly advise to book your al a carte restaurants as soon as you can via the app, for those only here for 7 days it may not be possible to eat at all 4. Amenities: the rooms came with a basic TV, the only thing we could find in English was SpongeBob however, a smart TV would of been a better option. The room came with a hairdryer, a safe (this stopped working after 4 days and struggled to get my belongings out before the battery died) slippers, coffee machine and kettle and a mini fridge (all restocked for the most part). The resort does provide other things such as 3 pools (all pretty cold) free towels, beach loungers, kids area, free tennis and gym (this was a very nice touch) and a help yourself bookshelf. The pool is not heated but not cold once you get used to the shock, however the loungers are all taken up by 10am despite no one seeming to sit on them for most of the day. We much preferred the beach which was warmer, easier to find a lounger in the sun and more relaxed.
