I’ve just returned from this hotel and visited with a friend. We visited near the end of the season( as the hotel closes for the winter towards the end of October). We had a very enjoyable stay. Our double room had a view of the pine clad mountains and the garden and had a decent sized balcony. The room has a smaller single fold up bed too. The room was clean and the fridge could hold a good amount of bottled water. Rooms have a safe ( ask for key @ reception)€10 euros for our stay. We didn’t expect to get anything back - but got the whole €10 back on departing. As it was approaching end of season ; we had breakfast in the hotel but dinner at the larger next door Albatross Hotel( half board).This wasn’t a problem- on the 1 st night a lovely receptionist took us over to the Atlantico and introduced us to the staff there. Dinner @ The Albatross was buffet style- different each night. Mix of Greek, some pasta, meats, good salads, excellent desserts and scoop ice cream. Breakfast— we took into account it was end of season , so less choice than maybe summer. Continental breakfast, delicious Greek yogurt, honey, apples. Some cereals , boiled eggs , mini sausages. TBH it was ok. We never thought to ask eg for scrambled eggs etc—so maybe they would have done this. There’s no kettle in the rooms( take a travel one). The nice man in the bar provided hot water for tea.Coffee good from the bar. The bar did cocktails, good range of drinks and really good white wine @€3 for a big glass. Pool area- clean. Pool chillier as end of October! We played ping pong- it’s free to use . They have bats ( a bit weather worn). We bought some cheap balls from local shop. The hotel is in an excellent location, literally a few minutes from the beach( so easy to nip back to get eg more drinks).This part of the beach is beautiful. A beach bar doing food and The Albatross Hotel as well for drinks and lunch( and the loo). There is a beach shop v close so easy to get drinks, snacks,souvenirs. There are 2 routes to the resort main *****- either turn right from the hotel past the car rental , then turn right onto the main road to shops and bars. Or turn sharp left out of hotel along a small road that will lead further up the main ***** ( this way is about 10 minutes to the bus stop). Resort was lovely- still some bars and restaurants open. I expect it’ll be busier peak season. Shops— amazing bakery down from COOP supermarket.Chap in the COOP gave us a free water and grapes as we walked around. There’s everything you would need in resort- pharmacy, so doctors, several mini markets, gift shops,bus stop to get to Corfu Town( cardless or buy tickets at the booth— if doing this take the right turn out of the hotel to get to the main road). We stayed for 5 nights and loved the hotel and resort. Obviously our view is based on our end of season. It’s a great location for beach and resort and to travel around- public bus and also booth to organise trips on way to the beach and on main road
