The staff doesn’t seem knowledgeable. While I was doing my research on hotels I was told that this hotel had “watersports for teenagers” and a “games room for kids”. Well the watersports were for teens over the age of 18 and the “game room” was a filthy room with hockey table, indoors basketball game, and a vending machine with toys. Every game cost a Euro so you only got to play for two minutes. They also had a “free bus” into the Town of Corfu everyday but on the way back, the bus does not stop on the corner. It stops 5-6 buses back. We did not know this and missed the “free bus” back a couple of times costing me $25 Euros every time for a taxi. Lastly we purchased a necklace from the Dion store at the first level and the chain broke the 2nd time it was worn back home. Never going back to Corfu or this horrible dated over-expensive hotel. Even the beach was not great with horrible chairs that had a plastic foam covering that made it even hotter.

A few facts: - The complimentary bus to Corfu Town (50 seat) leaves daily at 9.30 and returns at 13.30 from the designated bus drop off/on point in front of the Old Fortress in thehistoric center. - Watersports by the beach are offered by an individual operator, cost money and are available for all. Some watersports activities are age-restricted, for obvious reasons. - The hotel offers a complimentary Mini Club for kids (up to 12 yrs old), supervised and with its own playground and paddling pool. - By the beach, there is a Games Room with arcade games (arcade games cost money) - The hotel rents space to an individual Jewellery Store. As far as we know from many years of co-existence, it is well respected, has branches in various locations (UK too) and deals with their customers' issues directly and swiftly.

Hotel's Favourite
We stopped at this Hotel on 16th October 2023 for 7-night’s stay organized by Jet2. The room was large, clean, modern and quiet we had a one overlooking the gardens and onward to the marina, the room had a veranda with table and chairs which we enjoyed, the room also had an ironing board and safe. We did like the complement bus laid on by the hotel daily at 9:30am to take you into Corfu Town if you fancied a exploring the town and castles. The Food was amazing but what made it that extra bit special was the attentiveness and friendliness of all the waiting staff. Breakfast was very good and catered for everyone I think, and once again the staff were always very attenuative, getting my wife double expresso every morning. The gardens and beach area was well kept and although we went in October there was never any problem getting a sunbed. We went half board, we did eat out a couple of nights, the Telesilla Hotel Restaurant is excellent just a short walk from the hotel. If I had to single out one thing about this Hotel it has to be the helpfulness of the staff, from arriving the porter and the reception staff who really went out of there way to help us with directions and information that made our stay very enjoyable Big thank you to all from my Wife and Myself

Returning to Kontokali for the 4th time feels like coming home, and I'm thrilled to report that this not so hidden, yet still haven in Corfu keeps getting better and better. The staff here are more than just friendly faces; they make you feel like part of their family. It's that genuine warmth that draws us back, and it seems they've mastered the art of making everone feel special. No need to mention any particular names here, each and everyone is a star. Our room was still an oasis of comfort and style, with a balcony that offered those breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea up to Corfu town. And they also mentioned they will be updating the decor for next year. The food game at Kontakali has always been strong, but this time, it reached new heights. The local flavors in each dish are a celebration of Greece's culinary scene. And let's not forget the super breakfasts, especially the ones by the sea. Remember that evening spritz by the pool with the mesmerizing bay view from my last review? Well, it's now a negroni but still as priceless as ever. The ambiance, the drinks, the view – it's the kind of memory that stays with you. Kudos to all for evolving year by year, from the decor to the gardens and from all the lovely staff to the entertainment options. It is clear they take feedback to heart, making each stay an improvement on the last. Well done, and continue to impress us!

Extremely disappointing. This is not a 5 star hotel. In comparison with its competitors, it’s a mile off, they have no idea and should really do some research. I’ve also never seen such apathy from the reception staff and manager. Plus the fact that the staff are not well trained. Upon booking our room, we were told false information from the hotel, and then when speaking to the hotel about it, they offered to rectify it by charging us more money for their mistake! We felt like we were being punished for their incompetence. And there were more lies the hotel told us during our stay which was bizarre. Just pathetic. We’ve stayed at a good few of this hotel’s competitors over the years and the gulf in service and quality is massive. To add to this the hotel is dated and needs a thorough upgrade. Plus the dinner buffet food standard is poor. Every piece of meat and fish was completely nuked! We couldn’t eat it. It’s also the little thing that you expect from 5 star that they just don’t do/have, like even staff saying hello/good morning to you. The real shame is this hotel has the infrastructure to be a 5 star, but they either don’t care, or the staff are so miserable because under the weak facade as it is, it’s a toxic environment and they all hate working there. We won’t be going back. Shame!

Dear Gerard, We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience at our hotel. It is disheartening to know that we fell short of meeting your expectations, especially in terms of service and quality. We take great pride in providing attentive and friendly service to all of our guests, and it is disappointing to hear that you felt you did not receive this level of care during your stay. We understand the importance of accurate room type descriptions and the impact they have on guest satisfaction. We strive to ensure that our website provides clear and accurate information to avoid any miscommunications through third parties, like it did with your travel provider (tour operator/airline). We are deeply sorry for the obviously unintentional yet misleading representation of your room type from your travel provider and the resulting dissatisfaction. We understand the frustration that can come from such miscommunications, and we are committed to improving such processes with our partners to prevent similar issues in the future. Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced, and we hope that you will consider giving us another chance in the future. We would welcome the opportunity to make it up to you and provide you with the exceptional experience that we usually deliver to all of our guests. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to regain your trust in the future.

Excellent quality hotel with friendly efficient staff. Rooms are spacious with quality furniture and facilities. Choice of 3 restaurants with wide range of food and good sport options including pool. Not the best location if you don't have a car but there is a daily hotel shuttle bus into Corfu Town.

Have only just reviewed this hotel albeit been there twice over the past two years. Excellent grounds - has a lovely feel about it and a short walk offers some good places to eat. The beach was lovely, the spa a good size and excellent indoor pool. Garden rooms nicer than than the main hotel rooms but enjoyed both. Breakfast was good but can get busy and staff could at times be better with service. Just visited a hotel in another part of the Island and highlighted what a good hotel this really is. The sandy beaches being a great feature. Just outside the hotel there isnt much to offer but we loved both visits and will be coming back next year!

Stayed at the Kontokali October 1 & 2, 2023. After a looooong travel day, the welcoming folks at the front desk were truly appreciated. Nice room, good & varied food at the breakfast buffet, beautiful grounds with eucalyptus trees, olives trees, cycads, bougainvillea. Not to mention a very nice locale right on the Ionian Sea! The entire staff was terrific- helpful & friendly. 10 minute cab ride to Corfu Old Town.

A nice, peaceful resort. Not really suitable for children as no hotel entertainment ( suited us as a couple only ) Good choice of buffet food available from the main restaurant, the fine dining restaurant ( Asterias ) was absolutely wonderful, with great service, lovely food and superb wine ! Together with the loveliest views ! Thanks to Lukas and Vaso for the great service ! Take your mosquito spray though !

We stayed at this property only for a night before moving into a villa we had booked up north of the island. Would have definitely loved to stay here few extra days. Location is just perfect. The property is just right at a private Sandy beach. The pool overlooks the blue sea making the experience even better. Be mindful that pool is with sea water and not normal pool water. There are plenty of options in terms of eating. Breakfast is served at two locations (we lived the Greek one near the beach) Staff was friendly and welcoming. (Especially the porters). Do book the spa well in advance to avoid getting disappointed. Family Rooms are specious. (We had one overlooking the garden and the sea) with private outdoor seating.
