We've just returned from 9 days at EA. We were very impressed by the room standards, the food and the helpful friendly staff. We had a wonderful stay, in the main, however it was apparent though that the housekeeping team let the hotel down, with room cleaning needing to be requested after 3 days and sporadic knocks on the door at 8am and 11.30pm in our latter days. Thanks to the ladies behind the reception bar and Meni the Guest Service Manager for being so delightful and helpful.

We had a very enjoyable holiday in Corfu. The island is beautiful, with stunning blue seas and friendly locals throughout our stay. The room was of a good standard, although there were a few maintenance issues. The shower fitting fell down and the water became extremely hot whilst showering, however this was repaired quickly. The light above the sink continuously flickered despite being reported and there was no bin in the room, so we relied on carrier bags. The evening meals were excellent with a great choice and variety each night. The à la carte restaurants also provided a lovely dining experience. Breakfast was more limited and some items were cold. Overall, despite a few issues and one unpleasant experience with a rude shop assistant in the village, we had a lovely holiday and would return to Corfu in the future.

“Beautiful hotel & location, but with teething troubles”

We've had a lovely 7-night holiday, despite a number of issues relating to the hotel opening for the season on 1 May and not being totally ready for guests.

We've had a lovely 7-night holiday, despite a number of issues relating to the hotel opening for the season on 1 May and not being totally ready for guests. The location is beautiful and it's a really big area on a hillside, but you can get a lift on the golf buggies if needed. We arrived on 3 May at 11pm and it was good that there's a small late sitting in the buffet restaurant until midnight. Our junior suite was beautiful, but the fridge was empty and wasn't plugged in, the coffee station was empty, the safe was locked and took us 3 days to get someone to open it, despite asking a number of times, and the balcony needed cleaning (and could do with some sunbeds as it's huge, but just has 2 small chairs and a tiny table). We were in block 7 which is high above reception, with excellent views and privacy, but a bit neglected when it comes to housekeeping. When we arrived, there were around 15 wooden outdoor bins on the corridor outside our room. The smoke detector in the room flashes all night, so take a sleep mask! It would be good if housekeeping could clean the room every day, and in the daytime, not at 10pm. We didn't get our room cleaned for the first 4 days, and had to ask for towels, but as clean bath towels had run out, they gave us beach towels to use in the bathroom. We complained a number of times to reception and guest services, and improvements were experienced throughout the week when the room was cleaned more often and earlier in the day. Guest services sent up a fruit platter and bottle of wine as an apology on day 6 which was nice. The aircon in our room went off one evening/night, and it became apparent that all rooms had no aircon as it had a central override to "heat" instead of "cool". It got sorted the next day. Food in the buffet was pretty good, but could be hotter. and the drinks service was hit or miss. The two a la carte restaurants were excellent and the staff are fantastic in both. Plus you have a good choice of bottles of wine included in AI. The bars need more staff as waits are very long, particularly at the pool bar in the daytime, and other two bars in the evenings. There was a DJ two evenings and a singer one evening. The rooftop bar wasn't open during our week. Pools should be heated, they're absolutely freezing. The DJ set up around the bottom pool in the daytime twice during the week which we enjoyed. Overall we felt it was not up to 5* standard due to management issues such as not enough laundry, staff, organisation. It's annoying to pay 105 euros tourist tax for the 5* price bracket. But staff are friendly and really trying their best, which we appreciated.
