Nice relaxing visit
The transfer to hotel was literally about 15 minutes quickest ever transfer which was really good. We arrived at the hotel between 9 and 930pm the man on reception was extremely efficient and good at explaining everything
He made sure we got into restaurant to get food and sorted out check in quickly
We were in a party of 7 and had 3 rooms with one family room on 2nd floor and the other two on 4th floor. Our views were inland and just showing the gardens and lane way into hotel
The room was ok for a family room slightly cramped for us but it done the job there is sliding door to separate areas.
The room decor was again ok Bathroom was nice but shower had a pull out lever to turn the water to shower head but not much power. So when water was turned to hot it lost power and would not come out of shower head. We had to have a Luke warm shower to keep the water flowing.
Fridge was filled with water and tins of juice etc when cleaners were in.
Pools were nice and very busy but always seems to be beds available and I particularly loved the beach it was small but less busy and very peaceful.
The water was so shallow to so far out also which meant I didn’t have to worry about safety of children so much
You are able to paddleboard here to and speedboats will take you on a rubber ring or inflatable boat for about 20 euros each.
The food was ok I enjoyed it most nights there was always something to eat.
We never tried the other restaurants.
We got a taxi into Corfu town and it was lovely to visit some sites although very warm but plenty of places to shelter from the sun. We visited the old fortress which was nice and ate in a little cafe.
We also done a TUI Bus tour and seen a few nice places.
The entertainment team mainly Alvin and Desmond put in alot of effort for entertainment at the pavilion bar and are also very friendly and welcoming. They are a big asset to this hotel.
The older barman in the main bar is very nice and friendly and the lady with long dark hair and make up in restaurant and the tall young boy are very pleasant and helpful.
This is generally a nice hotel but I feel there are a few things that let it down slightly.
There is so much wasted space and not much for kids/teens to do . It would have been good to have a few pool/snooker tables maybe and at night in the main bar I would have liked to have seen a few music or general quizzes or bingo or something as people are having to play cards or make they’re own amusement, just a thought.
Also the hotel has very little around it and if you enjoy a wander at night to explore to fill time it’s not ideal here. Although you can hire a car at the hotel itself.
Overall a very nice hotel
Fabulous hotel, will return!
❣️ We absolutely loved our stay at Kerkyra Blue. It was so clean, the staff were friendly and so accommodating.
🍴The food was spectacular - themed nights with lots of choice for adults and kids, along with a sperate Greek restaurant and Japanese restaurant. Food (freshly cooked pizza) throughout the day at the pool bar too.
🎹The entertainment was very good - make sure to check out the acrobats on a Monday night! Our daughter (aged 4) loved the kids 'mini disco' every evening. The animation team work so hard.
🤿The 3 pools are great, with the baby pool having shaded areas. Beach towels are supplied and there are so many sunbeds you are guaranteed one.
🚕A taxi into Corfu Town is €20 (one way) as standard. My parents took the bus on for €4 each way.
🙏🏻My only comment to the hotel would be to please put shade over the play park. We were unable to use it as the slide was too hot to sit on and the area too exposed to the sun for kids.
🥇We will definitely return and had the best time here!

Lovely holiday, beautiful hotel, wonderful staff and amazing food. Just the entertainment that lets it down.
We have just returned from a weeks stay here and had a lovely time.
The hotel is beautifully clean and the staff very friendly. A particular shout out to the blonde lady in reception who helped us so efficiently when my son needed some medical treatment and to the very friendly and happy older gentleman behind d the main bar as well as the cheerful lady who cleaned our room on floor two (and greeted me every morning in such a friendly manner).
The beds were very comfortable and it was a treat to have a mini bar that we could dip into when we were getting ready. My sons thought it was ‘very fancy’ to have robes and slippers provided. Showers were powerful. Rooms cleaned daily.
The grounds were very clean and pools well kept. The loungers were very luxurious and it was lovely not to have to battle to get them as there are plenty. The hotel was full but didn’t seem over crowded, no problem finding seats for dinner or a spot to relax and sit at any time.
The food was incredible and my family enjoyed the snacks and cocktails as well as the buffet restaurants.
It was lovely to get the bus into town and we also enjoyed a fabulous bust trip that we booked through Tui.
The onsite shop is very expensive but there is an amazing shop opposite (at the end of the drive) that sells almost everything you could possibly imaging extremely cheaply (think lilos, snorkel sets, hats, souvenirs etc- about a quarter of the price as those in the hotel shop). The Lidl opposite has sun cream and toiletries etc at a fraction of the price of the hotel shop.
A couple of things that frustrated us was the pool towel situation. Only being able to collect fresh ones between certain time slots was frustrating. It would be nice to have open access to fresh towels whenever we needed- this was a fairly minor frustration. The day spent at the hotel beach was the only day we really needed to replace them far earlier than we were able to.
We were also very disappointed by the entertainment. It finishes at around 10.30pm and, with the exception of the acrobat show and fire show, It’s more ‘background music’ rather than something to watch and excite guests- I have to say, the evenings were a little boring and I played a lot of card games before my early night!!
Overall, I’d rate the holiday as very good. The lack of entertainment would prevent me from returning but others might be looking for a low key chilled out experience.
The Best Family Holiday
I've never written a TripAdvisor review before, but I felt compelled to as we had the most amazing time.
The hotel was beautiful, modern and exceptionally clean. The food was amazing and really well varied. What impressed me most, however, was the level of service. The restaurant staff and the bar staff around the pool were fantastic, always so friendly and attentive.
Our highest praise, though, has to go to the entertainment team. Their endless energy and incredibly positive attitude really shone through. Alvin, Desmond, Kea and Lila truly made our son and daughter's stay (and ours) extra special. We all looked forward to the activities they put and they always had time to stop and chat with the kids despite my sons many many questions!
We genuinely had the best stay here and will almost certainly be back again!

Fantastic Hotel
This is a fabulous hotel in terms of quality of service, food, drinks and entertainment. All the staff we encountered here were friendly and provided a great level of service. Really clean hotel with great pool areas, sunbeds and drinks served to your sunbed. A lovely entertainment team throughout the day and night (especially Desmond, Alvis and Leila). Also the singers/bands at this hotel are very good. So easy to get into Corfu town by bus and well worth a visit, I’d recommend going early evening and into the night - it’s stunning. Also a great island to do a boat trip if you like a proper swim in the sea with lovely clear waters as the beach at the hotel is so shallow and lots of seaweed. I only wish I’d booked a sea view room as the inland view is just a view of a roof… although the rooms themselves are lovely - modern and spacious. The food here is probably the best I’ve encountered for hotels in this range this includes the buffets, snack bar, Greek and Japanese restaurants. Definitely recommend!
