- Kommeno
- Grecotel Eva Palace
The hotel is nestles at the foot of the Kommeno peninsula, just 10 km from the historical town of Corfu, between the villages of Dassia and Gouvia. Both offer a wide choice of shops, cafes and restaurants, all within easy reach of the establishment. The service, choice of accommodation in the main building or garden bungalows, the peaceful location and shady gardens make this hotel the ideal choice for couples of all ages. The elegant guestrooms feature gorgeous views of exotic gardens and Corfu's shoreline. Canopy beds, cream-colored tile floors, bleached-wood furniture and luxurious bathrooms, all feature as standard in the charming accommodations to provide the perfect ambience for an unforgettable stay.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
We stayed at Eva Palace for a week. It is a beautiful hotel, the grounds, gardens and views are among the best I've come across in Greece. The vibes are very much classy and calm, with high-quality service. It was exactly the relaxing, late- summer break we had been hoping for.
Our favourite area was the beach. The food and drinks were tasty particuarly the bao buns, tacos and guacamole. Great music, too, and such lovely, professional and friendly staff. A particular shout-out to Giannis, Giorgos and Aggeliki, who made our stay even more special!
Thank you Eva Palace, for such a splendid break. We couldn't have asked for more.
We had a great holiday at the Eva Palace.
All of the staff, as mentioned in previous reviews were fantastic. Really professional and friendly. Angela at the pool bar is a legend going out of her way to find two fussy wine drinkers some great wine. Unfortunately the staff in the evening at the pool bar were quite miserable and everything was too much trouble. Such a difference.
The two pools were fabulous to dip in and out of, but needed maintenance. It would be great if they linked the two pools, making a bridge in the the path between them.
Our bungalow was a great size with a great view, however it was very dated as was the bathroom which needed serious maintenance. A 5 star hotel should be ashamed of this. We had a lovely large tv in room with no film channels and one English channel. No point in having tv really. The safe was on the floor of the storage cupboard, awkward to get to - so easy to move it higher. The daily bottle of water was very much appreciated.
Although we were half board, we only dined in the buffet a couple of times, as buffets are almost the same the world over. Luke warm food and getting up and down several times to get food - not really relaxing for us on holiday. We ate in a restaurant less than 5 minutes walk from the Hotel - Apovrado - fabulous food, service and view.
We always visited the main lobby bar after dinner, which was brilliant and buzzy. The service and cocktails here were fantastic.
There are negatives, mainly maintenance, but this is a great 'holiday' hotel. It has a lovely village feel with the steps and paths winding between the bungalows and facilities.
Great experience at this hotel, would highly recommend! Staff were excellent with us and our baby Archie loved Sylvia who made such a nice effort with him, we will be back! Thanks
Just returned from a fabulous holiday with my daughter at Eva Palace. It is an amazing place, we were looked after as soon as we left the airport with complimentary transfer. Our sea view room was wonderful, spacious with great balcony. We enjoyed all the food & the all inclusive option worked perfectly. We loved the private beach, plenty of sunbeds, beach bar for great cocktails & fresh food options. The lobby bar is wonderful with amazing views and sunsets. All the staff are just brilliant, I have never felt this in any hotel I have stayed. We had a late return flight, the hotel was so accommodating allowing us to keep our room for the day, I know it depends on availability, but we were so appreciative. Cannot fault this hotel, thank you, we hope to return when next in Corfu.
My husband, adult son and I have just returned from a week at this resort. The location is absolutely stunning and situated right next to a sister hotel Corfu Imperial. The gardens are beautiful, with many trees and different flowering plants which was great to explore to get a break from the sun. These are excellently maintained too. There were a few friendly ‘house cats’ roaming the gardens that belong to the hotel. The resort is terraced with lots of quite steep brick steps and concrete slopes, (this is why the views are so magnificent, so you can’t have it all) so not so good if you have mobility problems, but great if you want some daily exercise without going to the gym. Everything was well lit at night.
The beach was wonderful too and a great place to relax at the bar with a cocktail admiring the green mountains and gentle moving water. The beach is tucked into a big cove, so it was calm and peaceful. The beach is quite narrow, with a few cushioned sun beds and straw umbrellas and a few more plastic beds further along.
We stayed around the pool most days and it was lovely not to have music playing in your ears from speakers all around the edge. There was just the gentle hum of music from the pool bar which we much preferred. We were always able to get sun beds and these had great cushions and were very comfy with good umbrellas and waiter service to your beds from the pool bar.
This resort has a real ‘family feel’ to it. We stayed in the main building which is quite old, but has a lot of character. The rooms are dated, but the bed was modern and extremely comfy. We had a side sea view room, which we felt was a little cramped, so if you want a sea view and can stretch your budget, then I would recommend doing that. Our son’s room, at the front of the main building, was much bigger with a very large balcony and bigger bathroom. He had a partial sea view, but wouldn’t have been at all happy if we had asked him to ‘swap’!
The food both in the buffet dining room, where there was always a good choice of food, the pool, down at the beach bar and the speciality restaurants was very good. The all inclusive package for this is one of the best we have had.
The staff: There are some outstanding members of this team and a few younger members that need a bit more guidance and supervision, but everyone was always smiling and willing to help. Maria in the lobby bar was outstanding. She really knows how to mix a cocktail, but has also been doing the job several years and really understands what ‘good service’ means as does George one of the restaurant managers. Sylvia in the lobby bar, Harry one of the pool waiters, Evgenia in charge of the Contessa restaurant at lunch time, John in reception, young John in the lobby bar who is learning fast from Maria and making a fantastic bar man already. Akis in the buffet lounge, Jumbo and also Mike. I met Mike whilst exploring the gardens. He was running around delivering drinks to the bungalows and very appreciative that I said ‘hello’ and thanked him for all his hard work.
A trip to Danila Village forms part of the all inclusive package, which is an evening out with a buffet meal. This is like stepping back in time to a village from an 100 years ago. It was a wonderful experience and a chance to visit the small on site museum, chapel, bar and little tourist shops. The site is owned by Grecotel and such a great idea to let guests have this experience. Thank you.
We had a few minor issues during our stay, but senior management staff were constantly visible and very willing to discuss and resolve these things. It was great to feel appreciated as guests.
There really is a great vibe to this resort and one that is both relaxing, but has enough ‘get up and go’ as to not feel boring, so I highly recommend it.
We are looking to visit again next year even though we feel Grecotel needs to start updating the rooms. Please don’t let them get too old so that people stop wanting to visit you.
