Be advised... This hotel includes a lot of walking up and down the stairs to access the beaches... Which is very good if you want to include small workouts in your vacation. :)
Pros:
- The hotel is on a peninsula, which makes it isolated from other establishments but also not isolated.
-
The hotel grounds and rooms were pretty clean and quiet - Great service and overall pleasant interactions with the staff
- All rooms have a sea view
- The east side, where we had our room, offers a shaded balcony in the afternoon
- Access to both rocky beach – Private and pebble beach – Public
- The bus stop is 20 m away from the hotel barrier, very convenient if you want to visit Corfu town
- Nice hike available close to the hotel, but be prepared for a lot of spiders
- Walking distance to the island aquarium, other amazing beaches, and a monastery with amazing views
- Outdoor shaded lounge areas available at any point during the day
- Great location for snorkeling around the cliffs that descend into the sea. We saw a lot of fish and an octopus
- They have an app available for all hotel orders, that bills directly to your room, and you only have to pay one, at check-out
- They were very nice and allowed us to take some coffee to go on the morning of our departure, even if breakfast was not open yet (we left at 5 am)
Cons:
- The half-board option (breakfast + dinner) is not worth it. The breakfast is great, but the dinner, although diverse and with a lot of healthy options, is too expensive in my opinion, since it does not include any drinks, not even water. Within the same price (80 euro/ 2 persons/night) you can get a nice meal + drinks at any nearby restaurant.
- Not a lot of sidewalk available for on-foot exploration around the area
- Early departure breakfast pre-prepared package – very disappointing. Although I would have been happy to prepare some packages for my husband and me the day before and store them in our room, the hotel did not agree with this and gave us some lame pre-prepared packages that included items we don’t even eat. My advice to the hotel: Since you have a lot of breakfast options, have different options for the pre-prepared package and let the people choose which one they prefer, or, better yet, let people who want to choose something else for themselves do it, to reduce food waste.

Superb hotel
Fabulous hotel with amazing views around the bay, loved the pool area and the pool bar food was great too. Our room had an amazing view and the bathroom was really lovely. Restaurant for dinner was superb with tables overlooking the water, can recommend the cheese dough balls and the Greek salad!! All the staff were great, nothing was too much trouble

Five star hotel who provide a five star service.
Here you are not a number. You feel that all staff treat you like an individual with a genuine interest in your conversation. Our superior room on the west side was faultless with exceptional views across the bay. On a half board package the buffet style offerings were amazing with plenty of choices to choose from. Thank you to the Head Chef & Spiros so meticulous in his presentation. Not forgetting Head Waiter Miltiadis who went above and beyond with his duties. A special mention must go to Leo and his team whose staff show a genuine friendship for each other from the reception & concierge. Vanessa & Loretta were such a pleasure to deal with, making arrangements for boat hire and knowledge was very much appreciated. The restaurant and pool/patio bar staff were all smiles and could not do enough for you. Special mention to Marina & Alexia who served us well without being annoying on the up- selling. The housekeeping team again were courteous and polite and provided an excellent service. The occasional towel art was a special touch. I must also mention the hotels Avation spa. Our experience starting with the steam room, sauna & salt room as a preamble to an amazing massage should not go without mention. Again the care and thought provided by Georgia, Maria & Sia made us feel so special. Our boat hire with Captain Leo and his team at Argo boats is also highly recommended. Seeking out hidden bays and caves in Liapades bay not forgetting Paradise beach too. As a complete novice this adventure was a highlight for me. Akrotiri Beach resort is highly recommend. Without doubt this whole experience for our 50th wedding anniversary was the right choice and one that we will repeat in the near future.
