Kerkyra Blue Hotel and Spa

This is the second time off staying at the hotel. It exceeds expectations. The rooms are lovely appointed, the walk in shower is the best shower ever had in a hotel. The rooms and actually the whole hotel is spotless clean. Whether you’re a family or couples seeking activity or quietness the hotel provides all. The pools are great , but the beach is wonderful if you want to be away from it all. The sunbeds are extremely comfortable. Food was excellent quality, all fresh and chefs there constantly cooking. I have fish allergy but felt definitely safe eating , even the chef offered to Cook something separate for me. We will be definitely visiting this hotel again and highly recommend to others .

Myself and my wife arrived at the hotel Wednesday July 1st for an 10 night stay. Reception and room allocation was very quick and easy and we soon were located in room 214 with terrific sea views and overlooking the pool/garden area. The room was very good, a bit dated but good sized bathroom with walk in shower, safety deposit box, adequate storage and a nice sized balcony. The way the hotel is designed balconies are private and do not overlook other rooms which was nice. Drinking water was supplied each day - no problems there! The room air conditioning worked well! The room was well maintained and cleaned daily. In fact the general cleanliness of the hotel was excellent.

The main hotel bar area was very pleasant with plenty of seating in the air-conditioned area or outside in the covered/open area. Bar service was excellent and the staff were very good, as were the drinks - the wife enjoyed the Smirnoff vodka and I enjoyed strawberry margaritas! The bar entertainment was also very good. A very nice area for a drink with lovely views out to sea with Albania and Greece in the distance and glimpses of the cruise ships in the port. The main buffet was next to the bar area and again offered plenty of air conditioned seating areas with areas outside as well. There was also an adult only eating area. The buffet food was excellent and my only complaint was the lack of real bacon at breakfast! However, I thoroughly enjoyed all the meals we had in the buffet. Again the service was very good. We did try the Greek à la carte restaurant but were not overly impressed and decided this type of à la carte was not for us.

We spent most days around the farthest pool where most couples with out children based themselves. Although children were allowed most were round the main pool area where the pool entertainment was. I found I could get sunbeds pretty much where we wanted if I was down by 8am. This area was quieter and had the main outdoor lunchtime area, with pizzas, sandwiches, kebabs and gyros available. There was also an outside bar here with excellent service- staff would come and ask you if you wanted a drink. This whole area was a lot quieter than the main pool area. It also allowed access to the beach, water sports and grassed area where again the views were stunning. The sea itself appeared quite safe, shallow but not particularly attractive or inviting.

We did venture into Corfu town early one evening, 20euro taxi ride which seemed to me to be a bit pricey for such a short trip. Be warned that if cruise ships are docked, up to 4 at any one time, there are thousands of additional tourists in town!

What I didn’t like was the lack of areas to walk outside the hotel, you could walk to the port area, 45 min, but it wasn’t very scenic and the paths next to the main road weren’t that good. It’s also a 5min walk down the hotel drive to the hotel entrance. Also there was a lack of bars and restaurants nearby. For this you need to walk, get the bus or a taxi, into Corfu town.

All in all we thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and i guess a 4.5 rating would be a bit more realistic mainly due to the lack of nearby bars, restaurants and walks. The weather was excellent and the pool was warm, certainly not cold.

Sara and Alya in the spa were great.
