Not suitable for young people or anyone wanting to enjoy the nightlife

If you’re young or planning to enjoy the nightlife, I wouldn’t recommend staying here. Throughout our stay, we constantly felt uncomfortable and as though we were being watched and judged rather than welcomed.

We were later told by a member of staff that this was a “family hotel”, yet this was never made clear when we booked. Had this been advertised from the outset, we would have chosen accommodation that better suited the type of holiday we were planning.

Costas, in particular, was rude, confrontational and patronising. We were spoken to aggressively after two friends walked us back to the hotel and were told, “I didn’t charge you a deposit because you told me you were good girls.” We found this comment completely inappropriate and unprofessional.

I was also told off simply for returning to the hotel wearing a bikini while walking back to my room. I wasn’t causing a disturbance or behaving inappropriately, yet I was made to feel embarrassed and judged. No one else was around other than myself and my friend.

The hotel also has a long list of rules and expensive fines, but these were hidden away in a drawer rather than being clearly displayed or explained during check-in. It feels unfair to expect guests to follow rules they haven’t been properly made aware of.

Another disappointing rule was that no outside food or drinks were allowed in the rooms. We booked a half-board stay, and there wasn’t even an all-inclusive option available, so this restriction felt unreasonable. Guests should be able to bring back their own snacks or drinks without worrying about breaking hotel rules.

Another issue was being woken at around 7am by cleaners shouting outside our room, which certainly didn’t make for a relaxing holiday.

The food was bland, repetitive and lacked variety throughout our stay.

The location is good, but unfortunately the customer service overshadowed everything else. We left feeling unwelcome rather than valued as guests.

If this is intended to be a family-focused hotel, that should be made clear when booking so younger travellers and those visiting a party destination like Kavos can make an informed choice. Based on our experience, we wouldn’t stay here again.

Try to look to book a hotel in north of island!

Travelled as a family with two kids one of 6 and the other 9, the hotel is a 8 mark out of 10. We had breskfast and dinner included. The breakfast could be better in adding every morning pancakes and orher varieties, the dinner was mediocre also. The coffe at the breakfast - horrible (artificial powder not real coffe), I had to pay for coffe at the bar 2,5€ but made it verry small! I liked verry much the pool wich was clean and warm watter. The beach in Kavos is the ugliest beach I have ever seen!! Bad kept by the local autorities, dirty and full of algye. The best beaches of Corfu are in the North-west of island and to fet there by car (aprox 60km) it take you 2h and 30 minutes trip due to the horrible roads!! Kavos location is full of young drunk english and irish teenagers at night wich is a dangerous place to be at. For ronanians who whould like to come here.. Kavos is like “Vama veche” in the 2000’!

Friends holiday

Went to this hotel with friends and we were all very impressed, room were basic but very clean, was impressed with the smart tv, shower had good pressure but was quite small, beds were firm but comfortable and spacious. The pool area was lovely ,very calm setting and a lovely temperature. All the staff were lovely and professional, the night manager was very polite to us just asked us to keep the noise down when coming in late but we never had no attitude or rudeness from him. The food was good, the salads were beautiful. Overall our whole group gad a great stay at thus hotel and was impressed if I could change anything it would be the wasps and mosquitos lol but don't think the hotel can do much about that.

A week at the Olympian Village

Came here for a weeks family holiday and was amazed by this place. The complex is spotless and not once did we have to get up early for a sunbed. The complex is a short 5 minute walk to the strip where everything you want you will get there. Food was good , couldn't complain and the staff are amazing.A big thank you to Helena and Andreus who served me beer everyday and to the night security guy who gets a bad write up I found him to be a lovey man. Definitely recommend this place.

Nice mini break

Nice, clean apartment although beds were very uncomfortable as were so hard! I suffer with back pain & I was incredibly uncomfortable & in a lot of pain in the morning Pool area very clean, restaurant was nice, selection of food although a lot of stuff they were not selling as out of season. We got dropped at the bottom of a hill by a coach & told at 11.30pm the hotel was up the hill.. about 200 yards.. as 2 women alone we didn’t find this particularly safe when the coach could clearly take us there as we saw other coaches dropping off throughout our trip. Not the hotels fault but still not acceptable.. overall nice stay.. weather was around 24 degrees & staff friendly. The views from the hotel overlook the sea & mainland Greece.. stunning views. Beach close by but not very nice.
