Pros: Every thing!staff, food, location all great. Rooms fabulous.

Pros: Everything about this place is amazing. It's staff to the room

Cons: Nothing. Everything was perfect

Pros: Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, delicious food. It was a pleasure to stay at this hotel while in Corfu. Staff were always available to help when needed, and made sure they pointed us in the right direction when it came to advice about travel/tours on the island. The pool is beautiful, rooms were spacious, modern and always clean. We had an amazing time here.

Cons: Breakfast was the same most days, but always tasted great. I don't really have any criticisms of the hotel, as it really was a wonderful place to stay.

Pros: Very nice staff, the room was very comfortable and quiet, breakfast was okay. Good location- about 5 mins walk to a supermarket and to the blue bus station, 15-20 mins driving to Kerkyra.

Cons: There was no walking path in part of the way from the hotel to the blue bus station, so at nights it was a bit dangerous as the road is very narrow and dark and you had to walk at the sides of the road.

Pros: First of all we appreciated the kindness and the open availability of the staff. The swimming pool is very nice

Cons: Outside signage can be improved

Pros: Comfortable small hotel with superb staff

Pros: Comfortable room,great staff,good breakfast,excellent WiFi connection.

Cons: Buffet meal,prefer a la crate option

Pros: It’s a lovely hotel. It is very comfortable, the pool is great, the food is very good and is authentic Greek and the live music was an added bonus.

Pros: Room (family bungalow) was big, king-size bed really huge and comfortable Food and drinks very good You can take a boat just directly from the beach which brings you to the old town Kerkira in only 15 minutes

Cons: The hotel is full of wasps!!!!! They are everywhere: on the beach, in swimming pool area, in the restaurants (so you cannot eat outside) and even in the rooms!!!!!!!!!! My 2 y.o. son was bitten few times including one time to the eye and we had to call the doctor and to go to the hospital! And rest of our vacation we spent inside at the reception as we all were terrorized to stay out The hotel doesn’t take any responsibility, they don’t consider this could be dangerous, they don’t do any treatment and just saying “you knew it was a very green island so it can happen”.. Really? So why don’t you inform your guests about it in advance? And when I was asking about any compensation the guest relations manager said to me that we are not at the bazar!!!!!!!!!! I really advise you to choose another hotel and save your money and health and just relax instead of going to the hospital and taking cortisone. A part the wasps, the beach is completely in shadow after lunch and partly in the morning so if you want to take the sun be ready to move your sunbed looking for some rays all the time The sand area of the beach is narrow and not as shown here on the pics

Pros: We just came back home from a lovely 10 days at Grecotel LUXME Daphnila Bay and must say it was the most outstanding hotel we ever stayed at. The hotel is luxurious and very clean, we booked the room with garden view but were upgraded to a bungalow with sea view which was very beautiful, spacious and simply amazing. The bed was very large you could easily sleep a family of 4 in it. The bathroom had none-slip tiles which is ideal for everyone. The rooms were cleaned and fresh towels were given daily. The minibar was always stocked up to my husbands joy. All the staff were so friendly, nothing seemed to much of a effort which made the stay even better. The food was amazing we always found something tasty and even tho some guests complained about the food we must strongly disagree, there was always something for everyone. Drinks at the bar were lovely especially their Disaronno sour yogurt

Cons: This is not down to the staffs fault but the amount of wasps were a nuisance and somehow annoying. As well as the amount of kids, I guess due to half term, running around like little lost chickens, especially at the evening and with hardly any parents to be seen to remind them of other guests and staff was rather annoying.

Pros: Great selection in buffet.

Cons: There were so many wasps swarming around the table at mealtimes, which could maybe be distracted if the hotel set up a decoy cage of fruit away from the tables or erected screens - as on the balconies - around the outside dining area.

Pros: Outstanding customer service. Staff are incredibly hospitable and helpful. Food selection is extremely wide and the quality is very good. Spa treatments are very good, even if a little overpriced.

Cons: Spa facilities (other than the treatments) is the hotel’s only let down. Cold pool and cold jacuzzi. :(

Pros: Liked staff, food and location. Lovely to have a la carte restaurant options at no extra cost to buffet.

Cons: Spa facilities were badly needing refurb and had strange odour. Breakfast fruit selection could be improved. Main disappointment was the lack of view from the room and no sun at any time of day on the balcony. Also sewage smell at path to room. And the wasps! Lead to us having to eat inside at breakfast

Pros: Service was superb! Beach was amazing. Drinks were excellent.

Cons: Spa was disgusting. There was a smell of cesspit, tiles were coming off, jacuzzi had a layer of fat in it, wood was chipping in the sauna. Bleah! Restaurant on the beach had smell from the drainage. Extra flavour when you eat. Restaurant is also missing descriptions of the food (ingredients).

Pros: Everything was perfect. Highly recommended for families with children, having privacy and also would like to have fine dine experience and variety.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: It was very Calw and quiet Place ,good staff very helpful.

Pros: Superb location, nice garden and pool, large parking,very quiet,close to the beach, restaurants, shops,to the capital.Very clean,very nice apartment, very nice and friendly staff. All was perfect...

Pros: Amazing apartment, very very clean and stylish, nicely furnished and designed, fully equipped kitchen with everything you need (it goes even with the washing liquid, cloth, etc. which are usually not provided), many extra complimentary snacks incl. coffee & tea. The apartment was cleaned every day. I enjoyed very comfortable terrace with the pool view where you can watch kids to play, the swimming pool was big, clean and very well maintained. The whole property was surrounded by beautiful garden full of green plants & grass. You can easily park next to the property in the shade. Fotini was very helpful and she gave us many tips about the neighbourhood, beaches and Corfu. I can only recommend this place;)

Cons: The wifi connection was not that strong, but was working really well from the terrace;)

Pros: Fantastic hospitable staff, location and features.

Cons: Standard problem all over Greece, extremely sad internet...

Pros: Nice balcony Good room size Nice view Friendly staff who were available via phone Near supermarket Good location for visiting the north and south of corfu

Pros: The sauna.

Cons: Room was cold, no effective heating, and had clearly not been used for some time. Sheets were damp and cold. Décor and furnishings tired. No hot water. Despite advising in advance of my arrival time, there was no reception, and no-one present on-site to give me the keys. Fortunately, I had a phone number which connected me to someone who then called someone else to come to the property and give me access to my room...…..this process took 20 minutes.

Pros: Hidden paradise -very relaxed and nice view on green . Very nice and friendly staff!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Christo was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to help when needed. He provided useful knowledge and was very friendly. Location was ideal and convenient to a number of restaurants. Could not recommend more.

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff. Correct money-value ratio.

Cons: Always same breakfast. Boring and not tasty. It is not always easy to park the car nearby. Tv Football matches at the entrance of the hotel.

Pros: Consistent high standards every time I stay. Comfortable bed , high standard of furnishings and fittings. Small family run hotel with very friendly and helpful owner and wife. Can’t fault it.

Cons: Nothing to dislike .

Pros: Super value for money! Rooms are very clean, modern and quiet even though it is in a lively area. Christos, the host, was very helpful! Would definitely recommend staying here if coming to Gouvia.

Pros: Nice hotel in a really good location. Close to everything including beach. We really liked Gouvia. Bus to Corfu on main rd 5 min walk & go every 20 minutes. Communication with owner very good, our plane came in late at night so we arrived after normal check in time but owner waited up for us.

Cons: Room was quite small with a really tiny balcony. We were only there for 2 nights so wasn’t a problem but would prefer a larger room if staying longer.

Pros: Comfortable , spacious, good location. Excellent near by restaurants

Cons: Breakfast

Pros: Great and usefull staff, clean rooms.

Cons: Room cleaning is not so often, they sometimes forget to bring f.e. toilet paper. Breakfast could be better. Price for cornflakes with milk as a meal for breakfast like in five stars hotel ;)

Pros: Summer dream. Our old windmill, our privacy away from other guests

Cons: Pool was nice but from time to time very crowded. People there is a beach on Corfu! Didn’t you know? And very beautiful sea!

Pros: The lovely family that run the resort. The comfy beds. The room opened to the front and back so could get shade and different views. The fabulous pool. Also the meals that Georges and Maria cook. Very tasty and such reasonable price. That buses run to all parts of the island from a 5 min walk to the main road at the bottom. Beautiful grounds at the resort

Cons: Can't think of anything that we didn't like. Sorry.

Pros: On arrival we were not given the apartment booked but this was remedied first thing the next morning Large clean pool plenty of sunbeds and inflatables to use. Limited car parking available. Location was great with just a few minutes walk into the town and harbour

Cons: The facilities for food and drink were only at the pool bar which closed at 8pm

Pros: Very comfortable studio apartment with a good sized pool and Bar. Easy walk into Kassiope and convenient as a base to explore the rest of the island.

Pros: Great location, great pool and bar area

Cons: Uncomfortable bed

Pros: Bar staff dudu was great throughout our stay. Quick service, extra friendly.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location was good, quiet area

Cons: The studio smelled like damp, and wasn't very clean, quilts on beds didn't look clean. A chair was broken in one of the rooms and the places didn't look like the pictures. The property outside of the swimming pool wasn't very well maintained

Pros: Great location. Lovely staff. Could not do enough for us. Reay loved it.

Pros: The balcony was big enough for us to eat our breakfast there. The pool was big and the kids' pool was perfect for our almost 3-year-old. The water toys were old and dirty, but at least there was some. Location good. There's lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Beach were also near, but we didn't have time to go there.

Cons: The kitchen didn't have all the equipment we would have needed, but it was not a big deal. The receptionist didn't remember to give my passport back when checking out, but he brought it all the way to Corfu Airport. That was extremely helpful! Small parking lot in the courtyard was a nightmare when lots of cars... And the driveway to hotel was really narrow.

Pros: The property was well maintained and had a very efficient pool bar and reception,couldn’t fault the property whatsoever!

Cons: There wasn’t anything that I didn’t like about the property,maybe the air conditioning charge I thought was rather steep (€5 a day)- when other accommodations were free!

Pros: location to the village of Kassiopi was good , the swimming pool was lovely clean and the shape and size also very good.The little poolside bar was sweet too.

Cons: W"e had no hot water for two days then ok & then the boiler broke down again and no hot water for another day and a half ,at the best it was just luke warm. arrived at 11.30 pm and had e emailed manager to say what was the checking process at that time of night ,he replied that there would be somebody there,but eventually we found a note on the door of reception to tell us which room we had been allocated ,a fellow guest walked us round the various blocks to help us find our room number in the dark., a map would have been helpfull.The owner/manager,s dog was tied up 24/7 in an elevated area behind the swimming pool and would bark and bark and as our room was on the top floor we could see him as well , chained up all the time. not good !!

Pros: The room was very clean and the pool was amazing!!! The staff are very friendly. Moreover, it is just 5 min walking from Kassiopi shops and restaurants and 10 min walking to the beach. I will go again next summer to Philippos hotel :)

Pros: Excellent swimming pool; kidness of staff

Cons: Small parking

Pros: Air con in the room which was a spacious studio. The pool was lovely and large and a well equipped pool bar.

Cons: Alot of mosquitos in the room and the shower was hard work. The curtain did not go the whole way round and we managed to soak the floor.

Pros: Atmphosfere is very relaxing, especialy by the pool and resturant.

Pros: It was very clean the staff were very helpful and the pool was a very good size for swimming. I would rate it as 5 star with our experience an would definitely go again.

Cons:

Pros: Wonderful staff, big swimming pool, cleanliness, surrounding, the city, where this hotel is, location in Corfu island!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Pool area is nice and staff at the bar friendly. Drinks and food there is cheaper than in the village. The location is near the village center and less than 10m walk from the main beach.

Cons: We got a room with a dirty bathroom. Luckily we arrived 15m before the reception closed and they gave us a cleaner room. Still the overall room hygiene was not really up to standards. They would clean every other day, but not really throughly. In order to get hot water you had to let the water run for 10m - what a waste. Even then, there was no hot water in the evening.

Pros: friendly family run hotel/appartments, close to the center of kassiopi,great service would reccomend to others

Cons:

Pros: I like the place where it was situated, it was sorrounded by hills covered with trees and flowers which make a very quite and fresh air place. The hotel staff accurates the privatcy for each gest.

Cons: The water in the rooms was salty.

Pros: Location, close to bus stops and places to eat. Beach wasn’t as good. Take the time and travel to other beaches.

Cons: No safe for storing valuables. Breakfast was poor. Nothing to offer apart from bread and fruit. One staff member was very rude and unhelpful, found her to be lazy.

Pros: Beach location to hotel Restaurants close by

Cons: Towels are limited and not available to take to beach We have to pay for chairs and umbrellas at beach Air conditioners are connected to room key balcony doors so when u come back the room is warm

Pros: Good location, simple but comfortable

Cons: Hard beds, very basic breakfast, the hotel has an all inclusive vibe

Pros: Friendly staff, good location. Restaurants, markets nearby.

Cons: Larger bed and more type of meals in the breakfast would be great. The rooms are closed to each other and sometimes it’s noisy.

Pros: Location and great friendly and helpful staff

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very helpful and friendly stuff

Cons: Breakfast buffet is almost empty twenty minutes after finishing.

Pros: Perfect location, friendly staff. Room exceeded our expectations, clean spacious, little fridge was a welcome bonus. Comfy beds, great choice for breakfast.

Cons: Wifi was rubbish as was the air conditioning but we just got on with enjoying the holiday and did not let this spoil it.

Pros: Nice location on the beach. Bar and restaurant are very nice and the staff very good. Rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms a good size. Nice feel to the hotel. Sheets and new towels every day which is rare.

Cons: Beds are firm, Cleaners start at 8AM and are make a fair bit of noise, mainly from trolleys and bedding room. Breakfast is basic, no hot food just the normal continental.

Pros: Everything that we needed: beach, bus stops, restaurants and markets were really close. Also we loved our nice clean room.

Pros: Everything was lovely, the room we stayed in was immaculate & had a proper bath tub, this is unusual for Greece, the staff were friendly & cleaned the whole place including the pool area every morning & night. Excellent place

Cons: Location was miles out so need a car to get about, this was the only negative

Pros: First of all we liked the lovely staff, from the women who cleaned our appartment every day up to the manager - everybody was just so friendly and helpful. Then we loved the pool with its comfortable sunbeds, outdoor shower, refreshing water... the whole pool area is very nicely designed and offers enough space to all guests. The bar and restaurant offer delicious, home-made Greek food and drinks (best Freddo Cappuccino, a good house wine etc., we didn‘t miss anything ;-) all day long. There is a fantastically equipped playground which our 1,5 year-old son was crazy about. The appartment was nice, clean and very spacious. The location is very good, only 10-15 minutes to Corfu Town and well- located to do daytrips and tours by car. A mini-market is right around the corner. Many plants, flowers, cats around :-)

Cons: The kitchen in the appartment is not really suitable if you are thinking of preparing meals on your own.

Pros: Very nice place for a relax with family. Nice pool nice playground for kids and clean rooms

Cons: Broken tv

Pros: Location excellent. Property clean and well maintained Convenient to Bus service to Corfu town Apartment very private Madeleine and staff very efficient

Cons: Lighting could be better on grounds at night

Pros: Liked the arrival drinks, water, juice and a bottle of wine. There were washing up cloths and liquid. Had sweeping brush, ironing board and iron. Also had a mosquito repellent plug in in bedroom. Free aircon and deposit box. All of the above are more than I have previously had in other 3* apartments throughout the Greek islands. Good value for money. Outside areas by pool were clean. Plenty of sunloungers especially on the lawns. Pool area got busy. I would stay at these apartments again should I return to Corfu.

Cons: Would have preferred proper aircon in bedroom but the cooling fab worked ok. Cleaning staff were really nice but could have cleaned the bathroom and floors a bit more thoroughly, I wouldn't say it was left dirty but not all floors were cleaned of debris. The sweeping brush in apartment was handy.

Pros: Lots of sun beds around the pool, resort in a great location with bus stop outside, which we used. There is a great beach garden behind the pool with lots of natural shade which was great. Very impressed overall and will definitely return.

Pros: Our apartment was spotless, the beds were comfortable, the aircon fantastic. We had a big balcony with a view over the bay which was lovely. The pool was great and was never overcrowded. Madeleine is friendly, helpful and nothing is too much trouble and gave us great advice for days out, bus timetables and places to eat. This is a hidden gem in lovely gardens which is quiet and family friendly which exceeded expectations. We had a lovely holiday at Helion and wouldn't hesitate recommending it to others.

Cons: The mosquitos...take the sprays etc and an after bite stick.

Pros: I liked the position of the resort, it was in a peaceful area, tidy, green everywhere, clean, nice swimming pool, our apartment was big and comfy, had all the necessary facilities to have the meals in and had a good balcony. Also the manageres Madeleine is very knowledgeable on all aspects providing us useful information to make our stay in Corfu better!

Cons: The internet wasn't very good indoors.

Pros: Location is excellent, easy access to the main roads of Corfu plus quick walk into the town. Very quiet location. The staff are very helpful, the food at the pool bar is lovely. The rooms are very clean and the resort is very nicely laid out with wonderful gardens. The private beach/lagoon is lovely for a swim. Will definitely be booking again!

Pros: Location was exactly as described with a great view over the bay. Swimming pool and bar were also very good. Most restaurants were 10-15 minutes walk to the centre of Gouvia but there was plenty of choice. Our apartment was meant to sleep 4/5 however the living/kitchen area would have been small for 4/5 - there were only 2 of us so it was fine. The welcome water, wine and fruit juice was a great addition.

Cons: There wasn't a sandy beach and as others have said, not enough comfortable (blue) sunbeds. The walk from the resort into Gouvia wasn't pleasurable - especially at night.

Pros: The room was good and clean. Beds was comfortable. The environment was nice. The pool was okay.

Cons: The sea is not usable. Wi-fi did not work.

Pros: The staff working there were very nice and helpful

Cons: Cleaners coming into our rooms before 10 in the morning

Pros: Stayed here for one night before joining a sailing tour the following day which left from the marina. Hotel was great. The pool is kept very clean, and it’s close to the beach and town. The breakfast is wholesome in the morning. The staff are welcoming. I think all the rooms come with a balcony and there is a fridge in the room.

Cons: None. Was good value.

Pros: Staff & Owners fantastic

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Hotel was spotless after a recent refurbishment. There are a mixture of rooms plus a complete separate block of apartments that are not shown on the booking. Com website. Had we known about those I think we would have booked one of them. The owners are a family of three generations who understand our needs and spoke good English, Italian and other languages. Swimming pool had sun on all day and never an issue to get a sun lounger. Hotel was about three minutes walk into center of govia, about five minutes drive to marina that was ideal for us and about 10 minutes to center of corfu town and £15-20 taxi fare.

Cons: Having to leave after being made so welcome.

Pros: Super lovely staff. Nice pool.

Cons: Near main road so a bit loud.

Pros: Great personnel service

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very friendly host and family. Very cleen and nice swiming pool. Near the Marina.

Cons: Noise from the road on 1 side of the Hotel

Pros: Bed was comfy.

Cons: Breakfast was cold, seemed to be a lot of waste from it also.

Pros: It was close walk to the beach, clean, some of the staff were friendly, hillside view was good

Cons: The food wasnt very good, luke warm most of the time aswell. For all inclusive there was a poor selection of drinks. The staff wernt always on hand to serve. There were no double beds just singles pushed together which had a gap in the middle. We felt it created a bit of distance.

Pros: The staff were really helpful, everywhere was clean and there was a good selection at breakfast.

Cons: The bed was too hard and it was impossible to straighten the sheet, it wasn’t tucked in properly and constantly crumpled up and became uncomfortable during the night. The bed was very badly made and the mattress too heavy to lift to tuck the bottom sheet in properly.

Pros: Absolutely nothing!

Cons: Everything. The AC it wasn’t working and the beds was hard and old. The breakfast very poor.

Pros: The team and location

Pros: It's been a really nice place, the staff was very helpful and we appreciate the flexibility on the payment. The room was not brand-new, but it was clean and comfortable. The hotel is very close to the beach, but also has a swimming pool, even though we haven't tried it out

Cons: It would be great to have a shower curtain in the bathroom

Pros: The hotel matches exactly the pictures. Nice big rooms, nice pool area with enough sunbeds for everyone. The location is great- 15 minutes walk to the marina and 2 minutes walk to the beach and restaurants and supermarkets. Staff are friendly and helpful- especially the bar staff.

Cons: Pillows could have been a bit better and sometimes the corridors were noisy with kids/teens.

Pros: Very good value for money. Good breakfast. Pleasant and helpful staff. Well placed for Gouvia, Kontakali and the marina. Most facilities available nearby including a beach, gym, ATMs and car hire. Good local Greek restaurants.

Cons: The weather could have been better! Busy for this time of year. Bedrooms with balcony's very close together.
