ori troyna Review of Grecotel Corfu Imperial, Greco...
Amazing hotel, from the moment you get there until...
Amazing hotel, from the moment you get there until you leave you get attention and the best care.
I will elaborate, when you get there (*1) someone from the stuff take you in to a reserved seats and you get tea, pineapple juice, sweet local fruits, water and hot towel to frash up. Few minutes later the guest relations attendee arrived ( we had very nice lady) to explain the hotel map, services, restaurants, pools, beaches, and much more.
She invited us to breakfast ( we just arrived directly from the airport) also she mentioned we can change in the spa restrooms and enjoy the pool / sea until our room is ready.
I think @14:00 but we got ours a bit earlier.
In addition she added the loyalty program that provide discount on the spa, food and beverages (nice addition *2)
The hotel seems partly renovated partly new.
The room we stayed had sea view (most of the rooms have sea view due to the perfect location on the peninsula)
The size was ok not big but comfortable. The bad was comfortable vs other hotels I stayed. Every day the room was cleaned by a very nice maid (everyone in the hotel are extra welcoming) and we got complementary water, wine and fruits upon arrival (so fun).
Breakfast and dinner is buffet style, breakfast is a very rich meal with various fresh food, fruits, dairy ( Greek yogurt) sweets, juice, barista bar and chef stand for omlets, pancakes and waffles.
They even bake pastries on the morning (*3)
Dinner also have various food (*4) fresh fish, sushi, meat, chicken, ice cream and sweet ( many kind local and from the world)
Restaurants are nice (Abit expensive) but the food is good, 4 different restaurants, the bar restaurant is Asian restaurant at night time and again the stuff is great always helpful with a smile. You can change dinner for lunch in specific time of the day (with closed menu - good one) the fish dishes are very good and there is a very tasty french fries in n the bar, also the cocktail menu is very nice.
The is a cocktail offering in the Asia restaurant for early reservation ( that we didn't get..)
2 pools (big and small) with many beds (*5)
3 beaches - 2 are open, small one very nice and bigger one with stuff that help you arrange, there toilets and area to change. 1 require reservation
The is spa with Shauna (dry and steam) and closed pool
Reasonable size gym with water and juice (*6)
There is live show almost every night, the lobby stuff are very informative
Check out went quickly and as we left early the restaurant was opened for us :)
Some downs side for you to be ready, I don't really think it effected our stay but it is always good to be informed to take the right decision
*1 the hotel location is 25 minutes from the airport so you need to arrange transportation, taxi is about 25$. It is only 12km but the road is very bumpy...
It also need to be considered when going to the old town which is amazing but require a taxi way and back.
The hotel offer a free shuttle for 3 hour duration in the old City, 4 times a day and requires early registration 1-2 days before... Keep it in mind. Also the hotel offer water taxi 2 times a day through a provider for a low price ( few hours duration in the city)
*2 the spa has very rich treatment menu but expensive to my opinion...
*3 keep in mind that breakfast served at 7:15 so of you check out earlier you need to state it to the lobby stuff
And it will take time until the food will be fully served ~7:00
*4 during dinner there is no water stand or juice, all must be bought.
*5 beds on the pool side are always taken.by someone that put towel and went to the sea :) just standing empty but occupied. There is not such issue on the beach as there is much more beds there
*6 I am more of a long distance runner, as mentioned the hotel is isolated and roads are bumpy... I didn't enjoyed my run even with the scenery the.roads are bad full with sewage no place to run... The gym has 4 treadmills
The bottom line we loved staying there and will be back as soon as possible!!!
You will enjoy there it is awesome place with amazing stuff!
