Great Hotel great Vibe..
We’ve just returned from a fantastic stay at Cooks Club Corfu and overall had a really enjoyable time. The hotel is spotless, has a really cool, modern vibe and there’s a great atmosphere both around the pool during the day and in the evenings. The DJs and live music added to the whole experience without being too much.
We really liked the different approach to all-inclusive dining. Rather than the usual huge buffet where you pile your plate up with everything in sight, there’s a smaller selection and you order from the menu with waiter/waitress service. You can order as much or as little as you like, and we actually thought this worked really well. It meant you could properly sit down and enjoy the whole meal together rather than constantly getting up and down.
The food in the main buffet restaurant was good, and of the included restaurants, our favourite was definitely the Smokehouse Grill around the chill pool. Great atmosphere, decent steak and a really nice setting. We were less impressed with the restaurant by the main pool.
One slight disappointment was the all-inclusive drinks package. We felt the cocktail selection was quite restricted, with additional charges for some fairly standard cocktails such as Mojitos and Pornstar Martinis. We’d expect these to be included in an all-inclusive package.
Most of the staff were excellent and the housekeeping was particularly good. A special mention has to go to Kaziani in the main lobby bar, who was brilliant throughout our stay. Great cocktails, always happy to help and with a fantastic personality — she really made an impression on us.
There were just two negatives for us. We found the staff at the main pool bar quite unhelpful and, unfortunately, they often came across as though they didn’t really want to be there. The other issue was the large number of wasps around the main pool and bar area, which did take the edge off relaxing there and is something we think the hotel should look at.
Apart from those points, we had a brilliant stay. Cooks Club is a super-cool hotel with a great atmosphere, good food, fantastic entertainment.

Not very all inclusive at all
This all inclusive hotel is a crock lots of drinks not included. Rooms are great but absolutely not 5 star. Staff are wonderful. Eat a good lunch because the main dining room is awful; greek food is particularly bad though pizzas are good. Everything in the main dining room has to be ordered through an app in the evenings so lacks the personal touch
The al acarte restaurants are both outdoors so be sure to have mozzi spray - you can only book these twice in a seven day booking and the inclusive menu is quite restrictive
Not a 5* by any means
Me and 2 friends stayed at Cooks Club at the end of September after seeing many videos/ pics of the hotel and how amazing it looked. Although the aesthetic is undeniably gorgeous - the hotel is far from a 5* and i would say its more of a 3*. We were so shocked at the service and amenities of the hotel.
Service: We found the staff were very rude and miserable, there were only 2 happy/ polite staff members that we encountered. The service was definitely not what we expected in a 5* hotel and after reading reviews, it seems many people agree.
Rooms: They put us at the back of the hotel in a triple room, but only stocked 2 bottles of water and 2 chairs on the balcony. The walls are very thin so expect to hear people coming in late at night and the lift going off constantly, as well as the sound of music outside until 1am. When they cleaned the room, the beds weren't made properly and the towels were not replaced.
Food and drinks: We were so shocked at the standard of the food here. When we arrived we downloaded the app and found that there was no availability for the a la carte restaurant for our entire stay which made us feel like we really missed out. The canteen where we had dinner only has a wine bar, no cocktails etc, and we thought the menu was quite limited and very repetitive. We were also shocked to find that we had to queue for drinks at the bar which i haven't seen in an all inclusive before, at night the queues were ridiculous as only 2 staff members were behind the bar on a really busy Friday night.
Location: The location was shocking, in the middle of nowhere with a 20 min walk through derelict streets to the marina, and a 35 euro taxi to the old town.
Entertainment: We found the entertainment was very poor. The only good night was the Friday which had a live band on but the Saturday and Sunday entertainment was shocking, meaning we had no choice but to go up to bed early.
Others: The pool chairs are surrounded by wasps all day which is very annoying and unsettling. Obviously there isn't much the hotel can do about this but worth noting. I don't think the hotel is worth the money we paid, and i definitely wouldn't recommend going for more than a weekend.
Spa experience
I had a massage with Marileta and it was excellent! My therapist was very kind and made me feel very comfortable! I definitely recommend a visit to the spa.
