Matkat – Velonádes

The best part was outstanding views and beautiful, clear sea. But overall the hotel was disappointment and not worth the money. The hotel is not 4*. The bungalow we stayed was worn out, small and the balcony was too tiny for use. In fact, the whole hotel was in need of renovation. Beach was very small and there were no beach bar or toilets, it was too long way up to the hotel. Although, you could use the elevator if it worked and if you had courage to: the elevator was hot, unpleasant and sometimes even stuck between the floors. The food in buffet was poor and same every day. There was two other restaurants too, the Greece and the Italian, but it was really difficult to make the reservation. Once we managed to make the reservation to the Italian restaurant, but it was a huge disappointment.

We have stayed in gretocel lux me in crete twice and we booked this based on what we had experienced in crete and this was not the greatest experience. Our room was not what you see in the pictures we were a million miles away from the childrens pool, we asked to change rooms as it wasnt based on what they had advertised for a family apartment with balcony. The room was very run down and the lift we could just about get a pram into it. My eldest daughter got food posioning and the shower flooded the bathroom everyday, the fridge made the worse sounds and we were right above the entertainment in the square so having a 2 year old trying to put her to sleep was hard. It was a real shame unfortunately we would not rebook to stay here especially for how much we paid for it, the room facilites do not justify the cost and we do not buy cheap for a summer holidays!

Above all, the Staff was fantastic. Special shout out to Nico serving drinks by the pool and the Manager who was there to greet us VERY LATE upon arrival and to suggest future Greek Islands to visit upon our departure. We obviously will come back to this location again however… No issue getting pool loungers and the 2nd pool was perfect to catch more sun in the afternoon. Short but perfect stay and still € left in my wallet as everything was very reasonably priced in Corfu.

We spend our honeymoon in Grecotel Eva Palace Hotel. It was one of the best hotel resorts we have ever been. Location of the hotel is very beautiful. You are in the middle of all that greenery and right in front of you there is a stunning view of the sea and the mountains. This hotel has big pool area and also private beach with water sport activities. Common areas of the hotel are very beautiful and rooms nicely decorated. Eva Palace Hotel has several restaurants / bars. Buffet breakfast of the hotel has a big variety of Greek and international flavors. You can also order omelet of your choice from the chef. Everything is fresh and tasty. There are different kind of artists and shows every evening available at the hotel premises. You can hire a Hertz rent a car from the lobby area to explore the island. Corfu town is only 12 km drive away from the hotel. You can also visit beautiful mountain village on Paleokastritsa with the rental car. It is located 15 km from the hotel. Have a lunch on the top of the mountain with amazing view. Visit Paleokastritsa beach with the cliffs and take a boat tour from the beach to the caves and Paradise beach.
