Akrotiri Beach

This was a perfect first stop on our holiday with family (over 16 year old kids). The hotel was in a great location between the open ocean and a bay, so water views on both sides - really stunning. We booked the kids into a 2 bedroom family room, and we chose the superior east side ocean view room, which was great (morning sun and missed the very hot afternoon sun on the balcony which was perfect). The pool was beautiful with a great view, and we walked down the steps for ocean swims which was also great. It was the best breakfast spread we had in Greece and the staff were so friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful (including when we had a flat tyre and also with restaurants and the beach club nearby). Thanks for a wonderful stay - hope to return one day!

Really enjoyed our stay. The food was delicious, the pool area was very relaxing and staff were very hard working and attentive.

The views from the hotel and surrounds are absolutely stunning. The location is perfect and the reception staff are very helpful.

Rocky beach was a favourite spot to swim in the sea, great for snorkelling, a real highlight of our stay. We hope to revisit again and would be disappointed if this area wasn’t available!

The hotel was close to excellent boat trips, walks to the small port area, small local beaches, La Grotta and other local bars (Tango cafe bar & Unlimit cocktail bar within easy reach by foot, both great for drinks and friendly service!).

It was easy to book boat trips, we did so via the Get Your Guide app, but there are many places locally to do so in person. Paleo Sea Travel were excellent, would highly recommend their 2 hour speedboat trip to paradise beach, caves and yali beach (stunning waters).

Water shoes are a must. The local beaches are lovely but very stony with pebbles.

Our room was good. However, bed was a bit hard for our liking and sleep was disturbed by this, would also benefit from some small maintenance jobs in the room if we are being really fussy (end of tap outlet appeared to be missing, glass screen slightly damaged and misaligned on the balcony). View from the room was spectacular though, lovely products in the bathroom and the house keeping team were very efficient.

Liked the music playing in the background around the hotel. The evening entertainment could be made more of in the wonderful space they have; this is a very quiet hotel, which suited us this time.

We caught the Green Bus into Corfu Town (€2.80 each way) bus stop just outside hotel main gate - we got off last stop before main bus station in town. Would recommend getting the bus back from the central green bus station in Corfu Town to get a seat - it gets busy and most of those picked up from the stops along the way had to stand. The main station is not too far to walk out of main shopping area.

While overall we were really impressed with the hotel’s main restaurant and service, the balcony area could benefit from a screen outside on the left hand side - this area is close to hotel driers/ ac units and a screen would improve the atmosphere/view if you sat this end for a meal. We also noticed that the driers here blow some fluff out over onto the adjacent cliff vegetation during the day.

We stayed half board which was great but would’ve expected to have access to drinking water without cost - we had to pay extra for this.

We enjoyed our time here as a couple and would definitely look to return in the future with family members.
