"Super friendly and helpful staff. Great offering with the food and drinks. Fitness not so well equipped."

"Highly recommend for a family getaway. We visited with our baby daughter for a week and would love to have stayed longer. Suggest doing half board as there are limited other food options close by."

"My wife and I were looking for a special place to holiday with a number of things on our wish list. The Akotiri Beach Resort Hotel delivered on every level. Very comfortable hotel with excellent customer service from all the staff from start to finish. The hotel is set amongst beautiful scenery with lots of amazing food, drink and experiences on offer. The room was very nice with a good west bay view and cleaned every day by the friendly staff. The breakfast buffet had plenty to offer for everyone and the team keep service ticking over nicely. If you fancy getting out of the hotel. There are also a number of great restaurants within walking distance. It is an easy 30-45 minute taxi transfer from the airport costing €55. This can be arranged through the helpful hotel reception team. If you want a nice relaxing holiday where you can choose how you want to spend it, I would thoroughly recommend. "

"We stayed at Divani Palace for two weeks. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool is beautiful, with an all-day bar that serves food. The reception and lounge are very nicely decorated / furnished. The upper floors and standard rooms are a little tired, but very clean. The breakfast buffet has lots of choice and goes on until 10.30am, which is nice and easy. The local area is residential and a little scrufy in some areas, but typical for a Greek suburb, and has a little bakery and mini-market close to the hotel. The 2a bus stops outside the bakery to go into Corfu Old Town in about 10-15 minutes. Kanoni peninsula is within walking distance, with shops, bars and restaurants. The pool has a great view of the runway to watch planes taking off and landing, and there aren't so many in the day so they don't disturb the peace. If you are sensitive to noise then ask for a room at the back of the hotel, overlooking the hill, which is what I did. We would definitely stay here again, it was a lovely base for a holiday. "

"Amazing hotel no complaints, very nice beach "

"This was undoubtedly one of the best stays of my life. Honestly, it was an amazing vacation in an amazing place. The resort is massive, with plenty of space for all guests to enjoy—whether it’s the beach, pools, or numerous restaurants. The all-inclusive package includes branded international alcohol and truly outstanding cocktails available throughout the resort. The hotel is very family- and child-friendly, featuring a great aqua park with both large and small water slides. But the highlight for me was the garden—an expansive area filled with trees, palm groves, and lush grass. There’s even a small zoo! The word “Botanica” in the name is truly fitting. Before coming, I read a few negative reviews about long queues at the bars. If waiting 3 minutes for a drink is considered too long, I really don’t understand those complaints. The staff are doing an excellent job, always smiling and in a great mood. All you have to do is wait a moment for your drink. The food was delicious every day, with a variety of around 12 dishes including at least three types of meat, plus fish, seafood, loads of salads, fruits, and vegetables. And of course, pizza and pasta are available all day long. The resort also offers four à la carte restaurants that require advance booking. I wasn’t lucky enough to get a spot, but it wasn’t a problem—there was more than enough to enjoy. For the kids, there’s an ice cream shop, a chocolate bar, a popcorn machine, and more."

"Nice hotel overall, feels like a “budget Mitsis,” but still a solid choice. It’s quite large, which isn’t really my preference, and there were a few minor issues. That said, the stay was pleasant and the atmosphere enjoyable. They seem aware of what could be improved. I might consider coming back in a few years. "
