“Great stay”

My stay at Iolida was great. The food was very tasty, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. While some options were a bit repetitive, there were still plenty of different plates to enjoy.

My stay at Iolida was great. The food was very tasty, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. While some options were a bit repetitive, there were still plenty of different plates to enjoy. The drinks were excellent, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The room was well-equipped and matched the description perfectly. There was a minor issue with the shower, as the drainage worked poorly and occasionally flooded the bathroom. There was also an unpleasant sewage smell from outside at times. I did not use the pool as the water was too cold for me, however the area outside pool is ok. Despite these small issues, I had a wonderful holiday overall and would definitely recommend this hotel.

“Hen do May 2026”

We stayed as a Hen do beginning of May. There were 8 of us. Firstly prior to arrival the hotel went above and beyond to fulfil an extra room request. On arrival everyone was pleasantly surprised. The whole pool area has had a make over and is now much more appealing - the main photo on here does not do it justice. The rooms are clean and modern, (having also had a make over I believe) with pretty much anything you could want. Pool again is clean and modern. I'm not sure why there are so many poor reviews of the staff - ALL of the staff were super friendly, helpful and accommodating for the entire week of our stay. The Buffet was good, fresh salads/dishes at every meal. Drinks were also good. Hotel is situated in easy reach of a few restaurants and beach bars, if that's your thing, or a 40 min trip on the bus into Corfu town - which is delightful. Only negative about this hotel - the steps leading from the pool to room 109 - they are absolutely LETHAL when wet - and no hand rails are in place - which resulted in a nasty fall after rain made the steps slippery!

We stayed for 11 nights returning 19th Oct as a family of 3, the youngest 2.5yrs old. I'll give an honest review. The GOOD Well decorated and clean hotel, nice rooms Restaurant and reception staff and cleaning staff were polite and worked hard, some guests observed to be quite rude especially when waiting on a table. All staff made a fuss of our little girl. Booked a triple room, plenty of room maybe lacking on clothes storage facility though for a long holiday and 3 cases Well located no.7 bus south to Corfu town and north to Ipsos, bus to Corfu stopped at Gouvia where you could join the green bus line to several other areas Hotels close to airport, short transfer 10 min walk to beach, water is clear but not blue it doesn't matter its nice to swim in and a few bars for food/drink Food selection pretty good in main restaurant, snack bar not so nice, to.muxh food out at once for too long Mix of clientele, 60% French a nice mix The not so good or infact The BAD Room doors heavy, slamming at night woke us up. Witnesses door casings blown on 3rd floor where doors slammed, shame as its a newly done up hotel No travel cot 1st night despite emailing in advance and being assured we'd get one, 1st night was a nightmare with a restless toddler sharing our bed, not the best start Food was rarely hot, common abroad but annoying Not enough hand rails, the steps down to bar when carrying a child or unsteady on your feet are dangerous. This hotel is not suitable for children in pushchairs or for anyone unfit to be honest due to lifts not servicing all areas and alot of stairs just to get a drink 60% French clientele, O Club entertainment team situated at hotel provide the French package hol company entertainment all centered around the French. Music booming out on a boom box, no other entertainment although was an area outside. To say it was end of season the hotel was busy so they should have some better options, entertainment board listed activity but didn't happen Large swimming pool area needs works on edging, patio also not cleaned enough to any bits floating about. Air-conditioning didn't reduce below 24degrees meant door was open and mosquitos got in room causing bites, either sort air con or provide door screens Serious wasp issue, same when out and about from hotel however hotel didn't appear to use any deterrents This hotel could be really good, given we perceived the Jet2 hol price to be favourable on a late booking we were happy with our stay however next year's price is nearly double, this hotel isn't worth that.
