Iolida Corfu Resort and Spa

Arrived for three nights after a seven-day cruise on Marella Voyager and although there was a number of guests checking in it was handled very quickly and efficiently by a very friendly and helpful receptionist. We were allocated a room on the 4th floor and with the lift only going to the 3rd floor we were asked to stay for a few minutes until a member of staff was available to carry our cases from the 3rd to the 4th floor. The room was spotless and was kept that way for the whole of our stay. The view from our balcony was superb with a sea view forward and a view of the countryside to the side. The AC was excellent and kept the room at a very comfortable temperature, two bottles of water supplied daily and tea & coffee making facilities available, A fridge was in the room and was one of the better I have come across and kept drinks cold. There was a flat screen television on the wall but the selection of English-speaking channels was very limited. The pool was kept in a pristine condition and there were more than enough sun beds available. A snack bar had a tasty selection of food during the day. One of the main talking points amongst all guests we came in contact with was the number of stairs especially to access the pool, there were hand rails but I might suggest that the hotel is not suitable for those with any mobility problems. The meals in the restaurant unfortunately did not come up to a appetising standard of the hotel and while the cold salads were generally good this was not matched by the hot selection, this led to a number of guests even those like us there for the three-nights walking down the rather steep incline to the few restaurants nearby for an evening meal. The bar service was excellent but entertainment was limited during our short stay with two singers on for one night. Excellent hotel but the steep stairs and the poor quality of restaurant food will prevent us from using this hotel again.
