Nafsika Hotel - Adults Only

Lovely hotel for a great price. Breakfast was good and lots of options, including a nice coffee machine. Pool is definitely the shining light of this hotel. It is huge, has lots of sun beds, and is well shielded from the busy road and passers by. It was also almost always just us- which was lovely (recommend going in the off season). There are lots of resteraunts, bars and supermarkets nearby. The bus stop is a 2 minute walk from the hotel and you can easily get to Corfu town (day pass €5). The staff were super helpful in directions and allowing us a late checkout on our last day. They are also attentive around the pool and on drinks service. The rooms are well kept and exactly what you need and expect for a good three star. Balconies big and space to hang up wet clothes. Just be aware some services may not be available in the off season (pool bar closed sometimes etc). Would definitely recommend and worth the bargain we got it for- the pool and easy access to Corfu town is more than worth it.

The best staff! Location was lovely and practical - great to explore Dassia, Lakonas, Palaiokastritsa, Ipsos and Corfu. Staff were extremely helpful and have great recommendations! Restaurants: Kostas, Alexenders, Alipa, Leondis Trips: Madalena Boat Trip is a great way to explore and crew great fun! Big shout out to hotel staff; receptionist Marilena and bar man Alexsndros!

Having booked this holiday on a whim with TUI and then looking at the hotel location and local amenities on Google maps, I was considering cancelling this holiday before ever leaving, it also started badly when our transfer bus pulled up on the main road and the driver pointed to a unmade lane across the road and said “your hotel is that way.” I complained to Carl the TUI rep about the 150m walk in heat, managing 2 big cases as my wife requires a stick to walk, Our TUI rep was great and our issue was very soon resolved. From the outset the hotel was pretty good, Giota on reception with her friendly smile and very helpful manner soon putting us at ease. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the pool, it was immaculately clean with a huge double bed and quite spacious. Breakfast was almost everything you could wish for, whatever you might want in a breakfast it was there and being buffet style, there was plenty of it. Dinner likewise was buffet style, but it lacked a little in variation and quality but in general it was overall good. The dining room staff were excellent both Dimitris and Vasilikl being both very friendly and attentive, we exchanged many jokes and enjoyed their company. We did spend a lot of time by the pool, soaking up the sun and then cooling off in that ageing but lovely pool. Alexandros, who managed the pool bar among many, many other things, a true grafter and was again very friendly and helpful. In fact, it was the amazing staff that made our stay so wonderful. We visited the local beach several times, my wife on a walking stick and security at the Ikos being mildly aggressive should you cross their line in the sand, a tip is to walk up to the quad hire place and walk down the lane making sure that you turn left along the beach at the bottom. However the beach wasn't for us, being too crowded and to much activity going on. BTW, a trip into old Corfu town is essential, we did it several times and were never disappointed. Thank you to all the Livadi Nafsika Staff for an excellent holiday

I wanted to write a very honest review of this hotel. There are positives. Our room was great and we had a sea view - the cleaners are superb and cleaned our room every day. I quite liked the breakfast, but my partner found it repetitive, so depends on taste I think. The staff are all great, especially the lovely ladies on Reception, who could not be more helpful and Alex the bar man, chap who seems to do everything - very hard working, helpful, happy, welcoming. There are several sunbeds around the pool which are broken. When we were there the pool was green and I could not believe people were actually going in it... To be fair to the hotel, on our last couple of days there was a chap there giving the pool attention. I think there is a staffing shortage as they all seem very busy. On our first day we were given a menu and tried to order food at lunch time and were told that we could not have meat!!!! So really the only other thing you could have was chips..... Also, on the same day I asked for a Bloody Mary and was told no cocktails today - only beer and wine....The pool bar was open on the evening we arrived - but did not reopen again after that evening. Dassia as an area did not suit us very well. The road is busy and they could definitely do with a pedestrian crossing. During the day not very much was open - most restaurants seemed to open around 5 or 6 pm... We had several days at the Beach Club Malibu - which was really nice. We also loved the little bar on the front, Dassia Beach Bar. In poor weather - of which we had quite a lot - rain/thunder/lightening - there is little to do in Dassia. I agree with the previous review - there are 2 ways to get to the hotel and in poor weather you have to wade through deep puddles. We did a tour of the island and a trip to Albania - both of which I would recommend... but be prepared to queue at the Ferry Port on your return... Only 2 people checking passports and a couple of ferries arrived together, so long queues. Corfu town is lovely and we got a taxi there - the no 7 bus always looks very busy, with people standing - so we avoided the bus. On our first trip to Corfu Town there were 3 cruise ships docked - so very, very, very busy.... But the second time we went it was lovely and peaceful. This hotel has the potential to be good, but there is very little holiday feel atmosphere.

This is a very good 3 star plus hotel with a 5 star staff from the cleaners all the way up to reception, they were always willing to help giving us some good information for our holiday. Bar staff always with a cheery smile, well done the lot of you. The hotel itself is behind the main road in a quiet area the layout of the hotel and grounds are very pleasant, we had no problems getting sun beds. Rooms cleaned daily, beds comfortable. There are some good restaurants close by and a few shops and supermarkets, Corfu town is a 20min bus ride depending on traffic.

Hotel Livadi Nafsika Dassia Insel Korfu 11.–18. September 2024 Dieses Hotel verspricht mehr als es hält. Durch zahlreiche Reisen in südliche Länder ist mir bewusst, dass es dort landestypische Eigenheiten und eine Mentalität gibt, die eben anders sind. Doch weder landestypische Eigenheiten noch die südländische Mentalität können rechtfertigen, dass das Essen weder abwechslungsreich noch lauwarm bis kalt ist. Was man dort angeboten hatte, wurde nur teilweise beschriftet oder auch gar nicht. Das Essen scheint auch vorgekocht und dann immer wieder aufgewärmt zu sein. Die Frühstückszeit begann um 7:00. Wenn man aber um 7:30 immer noch das Buffet herrichtet, dann mag das südländischer Gelassenheit geschuldet sein, aber das geht gar nicht! Wer den Tag zeitig beginnen möchte, der bekommt nicht das komplette Frühstücksangebot. Für mich wäre das am Abreisetag in Ordnung, wenn man vorzeitig Frühstück bekommt. Hotelkatzen, sie sind eben landestypische Begleiter, muß man ertragen. Die Außenanlagen machen einen ordentlichen Eindruck, jedenfalls vor dem Hotel. Beim genaueren Hinsehen bemerkt man dann doch wieder die südländische Mentalität, aber das ist halt so. Die Poolanlage macht einen halbherzig gepflegten Eindruck. Defekte Sonnenschirme, defekte Sonnenliegen…, alles Dinge, die mit wenig Aufwand in Ordnung zu bringen wären. Eine Poolbar gab es zwar, aber die war leider geschlossen. Weitere Bauvorhaben, von denen man noch nicht erkennen kann, was sie einmal werden sollen, brauchen halt noch südländische Zeit. Das Zimmer war soweit in Ordnung. Es gab aber auch Gäste, die wollten das Zimmer tauschen. In unserem Zimmer machte sich am zweiten Tag ein unangenehmer Geruch breit. Eine verschmutzte Bodenentwässerung war hier die Ursache. Ich hätte es reklamieren können, aber die südländische Mentalität…, nun ja, ich habe es in 10 min. selber gereinigt. Meine Kritik hierzu ist, die Bodenentwässerung muss schon länger unangenehm gerochen haben, denn sie war schon fast verstopft. W- LAN gibt es zwar, geht aber nicht überall. Auf der Terrasse ein Bier genießen und im NETZ sein ist nicht immer möglich. Das Personal war normal. Es gab scheinbar frustrierte “Schlaftabletten” und engagierte, gut gelaunte Mitarbeiter. Das ist sicher überall so. Natürlich hat dieses Hotel auch angenehme Seiten, aber man wird nun mal an den Dingen gemessen, die nicht in Ordnung sind! Ich halte nichts davon, alles mit Fotos zu “beweisen”, ich möchte nur meine Erfahrung mit diesem Hotel teilen. Die Insel Korfu selbst: Schmutzig und überfüllt, aber wir waren ja auch dort. Der Strand ist gut zu erreichen, aber nicht zu gebrauchen. Sehr schmal und schmutzig. Strandtavernen gab es allerdings reichlich. Unser Fazit: Es war o.k., aber nochmal nicht!
