Cooks Club Corfu

I have previously stayed in a cooks club hotel which was lovely, comfortable sun loungers, lots of options for food, nice atmosphere. Cooks club Corfu, 5* hotel? Questionable… the food is dreadful, everything is either deep fried, incredibly oily and lacks flavour and variance. My food incorrectly arrived twice whereby I literally received just a small plate of mushrooms, my food came 30 minutes after my friends and she said hers was dry, unpleasant and every food item we received has been cold. The housekeeping are poor; they threw our clothes on the floor, gave us a disgustingly dirty glasses and took our towels but never replaced them. The atmosphere of the hotel is dreadful, it is weird vibes, nobody speaks, and you have to order your own food at the bar and drinks which can amount to a significant queue. We were laughing trying to make the most of the situation and were given dirty looks. Both my friend and I have been poorly since eating here and had to go out to eat at our own expense. We both work incredibly stressful jobs and were looking forward to a trip where we could relax and enjoy ourselves, how wrong we were. The dining room is intolerably cold, we were in jumpers and joggers on all evenings due it to being so unpleasant. In the restaurant, the staff had mobile bins whereby they would scrape other people’s leftover food into the bin next to your table, makes for a great dining experience at a 5* hotel right????? The staff are dismissive and look unhappy and in spite of complaining 5 times including to the manager, guest relations and reception we were told “well what do you want us to do?” “Sorry about that” and then told us we were not entitled to our thoughts on the hotel. We have even looked for flights home… there are flies on the food and nobody seems to care? We booked tennis and somebody was on the court; we checked with reception and they just told us to come back another day rather than helping rectify the situation. The bed is desperately uncomfortable and the food choices are abysmal unless I fancy coming back obese. If you fancy a salad you’ll get a small bowl of lettuce, not as described and of no substance. The hotel is a health and safety risk. We asked the manager is she would eat at a hotel with flies on the food and she said “well this can’t be helped”. We are covered in bites from the bed and were told “well did you have your balcony door closed”, which we never opened because it’s freezing to be told “it is what it is”. The bread and sauces are left out all day and have a film on them from being sat out for so long. The drinks don’t even taste like what they’re meant to be, and I’m referring to the likes of seven up and Pepsi max by the way. Apparently due to us on being here a “short period of time” we were told there was nothing that could be done and to essentially put up with it. Charming right? Don’t waste your money and come here, it’s an absolute waste of time and energy and you’ll just wish you were at home instead.

Very lovely hotel with great amenities and a variety of food options.

A highlight of our stay was the amazing massage we got, big thank you to Marileta thank you for such a relaxing experience!

Lovely massage with Christiana. Feeling relaxed and stress free!
