Apraos Vacations from $1,714

Our flight arrived late so the 24 hour checkin was reassuring. A lovely breakfast was included in our rate which was a nice bonus.

quiet area not from the center of Corfu town. Excellent breakfast on enclosed patio. Great service.

We stayed in a private Sandy Villa with its own pool, and it was amazing – our son even learned to swim within hours, and swimming at night was magical for the kids. The villa itself was spotless and spacious, and the housekeeping team and buggy drivers were brilliant. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the reception staff, who were very rude. Sadly, the rest of the resort didn’t live up to the same standard. Part of our villa had a strong sewage smell which took four days to “fix”, and even then the problem never fully went away. The food in the main restaurant was average at best, and the dining experience was stressful, with constant noise and crowds. The drinks were another major disappointment – no branded soft drinks, which feels like such a simple fix. The dining areas, pools (other than the Sandy Villas’ pool), and the beach were all overcrowded, with far too many guests for the facilities available. As for the à la carte restaurants – good luck getting a booking! The Sandy Villas themselves are 5-star quality, but being tied to the sister hotel drags the whole experience down. If food and drinks were available on the villa side, we would return in a heartbeat. Until then, it remains a holiday of two halves – 5-star villa, 2-star resort

Not sure how this hotel is so highly rated. We could not get a reservation for their x2 restaurants - there was ZERO comms about booking a table in advance. When checking in there was still zero comms about booking a table (we overheard a lot of people by the pool who were not happy about the same situation). When I asked guest relations about it they were aware it’s a problem when you book via a third party - however they seemed very unfazed by this. They were bit apologetic, especially given we were only there for 3 nights. Another issue which is a shame is the sunbed hogging! I have never stayed anywhere where all the sunbeds have towels on them before 8am. People don’t show up til hours later, simply put towels down to save them! The staff should help with this. The main restaurant (called Canteen) has zero atmosphere. It’s exactly the same vibe as breakfast. It’s such a shame! Too bright and school dinner like. Zero table service for drinks. Other small problems we faced - cant order an iced coffee with your breakfast, no fresh pool towels before 10am, single beds pushed together for our double room, flies in the food, watery juice at breakfast. Wouldn’t stay again.

My family & I liked everything & have just returned from a weeks holiday which was thoroughly enjoyable. The staff, food & beach were just as we hoped.
