Domes of Corfu, Autograph Collection

The property is located on a beautiful beach with great views. It is a 20 to 30 minute car ride to the old town. The hotel is very nice, however, would choose to stay somewhere else in the future for the cost that is charged.

Though we were lucky enough to be given a beautiful updated suite (purely by accident, as we only requested a regular room), some visitors complained of the rather poor conditions of their rooms on the 1st floor (units looked “tired”): chipped paint, torn bed sheet, stained or old toss pillows, tired-looking sofa bed/couch. Not sure they mentioned all this to hotel management. They expected nicer, newer-looking accommodations for the cost of their rooms. We were incredibly lucky in getting a beautiful updated suite purely by accident.

Layout not ideal A good standard hotel but not excellent. Layout of internal building centers on set of stairs and lifts so can feel a little unusual. The outdoor space is much better and the beach is very nice. Hotel is isolated so don’t expect much to do outside.

More pros than cons I will start with cons: -Hygiene is not at five stars level.1.When we arrived we were invited to sit and had welcome drink while waiting for our check in. The table which they sited us at was dirty. Then we went to the beach restaurant and so was the table there. I wrote this as a comment for check in experience and since this moment all the tables in all restaurants were cleaned. 2.The room cleanliness is not what it should be: the windows were dirty, the big mirror in the room was dirty, I wrote on it “clean me” and in a week during our stay nobody noticed. Go to room 424 and look at the mirror, I can bet that my message is still there. The mirror in the bathroom was the same story, they didn’t clean it at all. 3.Nobody cleaned the terrace, the ashtray was emptied on the third day of our arrival. 4.The housekeepers did not clean the floor, only made the bed and clean the sink. 5.All the surfaces in the room were covered with dust. -The room: the room was not big and was painted in dark colours, so it looked smaller. There was no mosquitos net and nowhere to hang wet swimming suites. Pros:1.The hotel is located on a beautiful sandy beach.2.The staff is kind, helpful and the service is good.3.The food is delicious, with big variety.4.The beach is quiet, the sun beds are very comfortable, the sea water is clean and is shallow far out at sea. When swimming guests can see fish all around. 5.The hotel’s garden is beautiful and well kept. 6.The breakfast is til 11:30!

Top-Lage, nicht angemessener Service Die Lage und Architektur sind top. Das Hotel liegt am Ende einer wenig befahrenen Straße direkt in einer kleinen Bucht. Der Strand ist ein reiner Sandstrand, es geht sanft ins glasklare Meer. Die Außenanlage ist schön, die Pools auch, nur gibt es keinen Service für die Liegen, man muss die selbst zusammensammeln, Handtücher suchen, weil fast überall die immer aus sind und wenn Gäste weg sind, liegen deren Hinterlassenschaften noch eine Weile rum. Das Essen in allen Restaurants und auch am Buffet ist sehr gut (wobei die Auswahl in den Restaurants für Vegetarier unzeitgemäß gering ist)und die Preise sind sehr moderat. Die Weinauswahl ist leider wenig international und wenig beeindruckend. Was nicht passt, ist der Service. Am ersten Tag bekamen wir erst das Essen, nach einer Weile und nur auf Nachfrage das Besteck und als wir fast fertig waren die Getränke. Der Service ist auch hinsichtlich housekeeping einem 5-Sterne-Haus nicht würdig. Die Zimmer sind am untersten Ende der Größe was ich in einem neueren 5-Sterne-Haus erlebt habe und was gar nicht geht ist, dass man krumm und eingeengt in der Badewanne duschen muss. Und auch hier wieder der Service - es wird damit geworben, dass es Zimmer mit Badewanne oder Dusche gibt - ich bat frühzeitig um eines mit Dusche, hat leider niemanden interessiert. Abends in der Bar arbeitet eine fleißige und aufmerksame Mitarbeiterin alleine, so dass es zu Wartezeiten kommt, obwohl sie sich sehr bemüht.

Excellent for families
