It makes me sad to write a review that isn’t perfect but unfortunately we didn’t love our stay here. Firstly, we paid extra for the swim up room which specifically states that pool would be private for people who have paid for those rooms, however everyone was using it (I’m assuming because it was quiet as close to end of season). It makes it feel a bit insulting that they still charge a vast amount extra when we werent given the luxury. Secondly, the pool bar in this area closed midway through the week for season end, again, we paid extra for a particular room and got nothing to show for it. We understand things do close this time of year, but disappointed it wasn’t mentioned anywhere that the bar (on our side of the hotel) would close, or that the pool would be open to everyone. We never saw the pools cleaned once, and our bed sheets were also not changed, we were there 10 days. On some of the days the cleaners just came in and changed the bins, and didn’t even make the bed or mop the floors. The staff were really lovely and the hotel was in a good area for restaurants and bars. When the pool bar was open we got a really delicious club sandwich which was made from scratch. The actual hotel itself is nice, and the rooms are a great size.

Nice clean apartment (family room for 2 adults, 2children) with good kitchen and comfortable beds. We had a lovely balcony with a view of the pool, mountains and sea. There’s a very busy dual carriageway road to cross to get to the main part of Gouvia and the beach. Beach is pebbly so water shoes essential. I thought from the map there was another sandy beach in walking distance but that is a private beach for another hotel and can’t be used. Towels and bed linen changed once in our one week stay. Very limited furniture for clothes in room (one small wardrobe) so we put the kids clothes in there and adults had to keep everything in our suitcases. There is a mini market very close by and larger supermarket 10 minute walk away. We went to Aqualand by booking on the bus direct on their website and it worked really well and was a good day out. The main pool at the apartment isn’t very big and can get busy but that didn’t bother us. Plenty of sun loungers. Pool bar was reasonably priced and food was fine. There are extra charges on arrival for use of a safe and air con which I would prefer is just included in the price of the holiday. Overall we had a lovely holiday.

Lovely clean hotel and apartment was lovely, only small signs to find reception which is a bit of a trek with cases, my only issue was when we arrived we had to pay 10 euro per person for visitor tax which we knew about (you have to pay cash) but then charged 10 euros per day for air conditioning which I think is very expensive and wasn’t that great (we were there 10 days) and it would have been more if we opted to pay for safe which was tiny. Room was spacious and clean, and towels were changed daily. There were 4 pools and plenty of sun beds so there were no sunbed wars. Drinks at the bar were very expensive, we ate at the pool bar twice food was nice and reasonably priced, Christina was lovely. I thought Gouvia itself was a little run down on first appearance but was nice There is a little shop around the corner and a bigger supermarket on the Main Street ( a big green building with red writing) this is also where you will be picked up for excursions. Gouvia centre was only a short walk away but across a very busy road, there were plenty of bars and plenty of lovely places to eat and was good value for money. The beach was nice we paid 10 euro pp for a sunbed which included an umbrella and an ice bucket and a bottle of water which I was very impressed about. We caught a number 7 bus to Corfu town which was really easy 5 euro pp, Corfu was lovely, there are loads of shops and places to eat. We booked a trip to Albania which was worth it was a great day out, only a short ride on a ferry. # prepare yourself for putting the toilet paper in a bin not down the toilet 😳

We had a swim up pool which was fantastic. Rooms very clean and cleaned daily except Sunday. We went before english holidays so it may have been a little quieter, but still dont believe it would be over crowded. Staff very friendly. Pool side bar for food and snacks.

Currently at this hotel, staying gor 5 days. We booked a swim up room which is great as you get the loungers too. There's no shortage of loungers for everyone else though. The room itself is a good size. Beds are very comfy. The staff are lovely and helpful and it's literally about 6 min walk to main shops and restaurants. The complex has 2 pool bars and 4 pools. If I was being very picky it has a slight chavy feel to it when loads of people are about, but fine when it's quiet. Its nice a quiet of a night as it's away from the main road. There is a tiny supermarket about 1 min walk away. Basically everything you need you will find here for about a 3 star hotel. Would recommend to others.

Fab hotel, really clean,friendly staff. Our children loved the swimming pools, the one by the bar was their favourite. We could use all 3 pools and inflatables are allowed. Plenty of sunbeds. Lovely food, Greek salad especially good. Each room had a dying rack on the balcony which was very handy. Easy 5 min walk to Gouvia, plenty of good restaurants. Beach not great in Gouvia, we had a car and could easily explore the island from Gouvia.
