Domes of Corfu, Autograph Collection

We were a family of 5 in a Tropical Sublime Family Suite (mountain view) and a Sapphire Junior Suite (sea view). We had a lovely time but have to say it isn't 5 star like other Domes we have stayed in. The positives: The sea view rooms are lovely - not very big but the view & sunsets are amazing. The food is fantastic - only 2 dine around options but the Agora buffets are excellent. The adults only pool is great It is a great location, near Pelekas and Paleokastritsa with stunning scenery. There is plenty of free parking for a hire car (a luxury in this area where cars were parked all the way up the windy mountain roads). We liked the cats - Spiros, Mythos and Lavertini (the black one doesn't have a name) The negatives: For me the biggest problem was the beach. I know that in Greece all beaches are public access but usually hotels manage to make their space feel a bit private or secure with staff around looking after the sunbeds & towels. In the week we were there we very rarely saw staff on the beach. The sun loungers were used openly by local families and it was difficult to use the walk ways (the sand is very hot!) and out door showers because there were so many other people using them. There were three long rows of sunloungers (about 100) arranged in groups of 2 with one parasol and then two rows of locals sat on the sand between the sunloungers and the sea. The locals were friendly - there were just so many of them! They took over about 50% of the sunloungers (very openly with clothes hanging up, cool bags, etc) and then packed the sand until very late at night. We didn't feel able to leave our belongings while we went in for a swim because there were so many people moving about we couldn't see our sunloungers. There were never any towels and as mentioned you had to queue to wash your feet off, use the outdoor shower or wooden walkways. The whole of the resort is orientated towards the sea so the main pool and Ammos beach bar is totally open to beach meaning that people can easily walk in to use the toilets and facilities. None of the toilets down by the beach were in very good condition - they just seemed to have had a lot of use. The main pool would be great with young children but with older teenagers we preferred the adults only pool & used the toilets in the spa. This saved our holiday - we just stuck to that, trips out in the hire car and the adults only section of Agora. We had one good trip to the Haute Living room when it was like other Domes - nice snacks, peaceful and cool - but generally it had no food or drink as children came in and took the food out the fire exit for other family members. Similarly, the gym had no water as people took multiple cartons of water out of the fire exit. The hotel just didn't have enough staff in place to manage the situation. Other problems - please think carefully if you book a mountain view room. I really liked the view of the trees but we couldn't sit out on the balcony or have the patio door open to listen to the crickets owing to the noise of the generator / sewage treatment works down near reception. We were on the 7th floor at almost the other end of the building so it must be dreadful on lower floors nearer the entrance. Some poor people on the side must have had the air conditioning ducts above them and the generator below them. The sea view rooms are all fine - all the services are around the back of the building. The swim up pools have no privacy - everybody walks right past them but they all seemed occupied by young children having a good time so it probably doesn't matter unless you are on honeymoon. We had several maintenance problems in the Tropical Suite, the Seaview Suite didn't have any problems. I think the tropical one was as advertised but it looks different on the website - in reality it is two fairly standard rooms (same size as Premier Inn) with an interconnecting door between then. This has to be opened and closed with a keycard (a bit annoying when we booked a family suite to chat to the teenagers in the day) which malfunctioned twice trapping our daughter in the room for over an hour each time. Similarly, our ceiling fan had a mind of its own and eventually had to be disconnected. Maintenance did come quickly if you made a fuss but they never followed it up - we didn't have a ceiling fan for the second half of the holiday and nobody ever sorted it out or apologised. The gym is a good size with effective air conditioning, water etc but the weights weren't heavy enough for our family and not much strength training machinery compared to other Domes which had separate outdoor gyms with weight training. The staff in the spa are lovely and I enjoyed the Elemis treatment I had, although it is pricey, 145 euros for a facial. It is just treatment rooms - no actual spa facilities such as a steam room or sauna unlike other Domes. One last point. There is nowhere to walk to - it's a stunning bay but it isn't connected to anywhere. It's a tough 3 miles up a very steep road to Pelekas trying not to get run over by mopeds and cars. There is a bus stop outside the hotel which goes to Aqualand but it wasn't in use in August as the bus couldn't turn round owing to all the parked cars up the side of the road. It is a very popular beach! There are a couple of tavernas and mini markets on the beach but no evening stroll possibilities. The hotel does trips such as olive tasting but they are 50 euros each and have to be organised individually with guest relations. Similarly, there is a hotel shuttle bus to Corfu Towm every day which leaves the hotel at 5 p.m. and Corfu Town at 10 p.m. which was 25 euros for adults and 12 euros for children. Corfu Town is lovely and we were tempted but didn't want to miss our evening meal & the sunsets. The hotel exercise options such as Aqua Aerobics were 10 euros each. There is entertainment every night (for free!) but a couple of ours were cancelled - I was disappointed to miss the saxophonist who had a temperature. So, overall we had a great time and there are loads of positives - but if you have been to other Domes it might not be the 5 star experience you expect.

I had the most wonderful stay at Domes of Corfu with my son. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. The location is absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views and beautiful surroundings. The views were breathtaking and really added to the whole experience — it was such a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the scenery. The hotel itself is amazing and has such a lovely, relaxed atmosphere All the staff, from reception to the restaurant team, were incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive. Their warmth and kindness really made our stay feel extra special. The facilities are fantastic, and my son especially loved the swimming pools — both the main pool and the private pool in our suite. It was lovely to see him enjoying himself so much and making the most of everything the hotel had to offer. Overall, we had a truly wonderful stay and made some very special memories.

I am incredibly grateful to the entire team for making our vacation so pleasant. I highly recommend this hotel for multiple reasons, starting with the outstanding management and staff. From the front desk, restaurants, and club lounge to the porters, housekeeping, beach, and pool teams—everyone was amazing. A special thank you to the General Manager and Operations Manager for their exceptional leadership.The facilities and location are perfect. The rooms are beautiful, the food is delicious, and the beach is just a short walk right in front of the hotel. Having free chairs and umbrellas at the beach was a fantastic bonus. Plus, it is very convenient to reach, located just 35 minutes away from the Corfu airport.We are super grateful to the entire staff and hope to see you all again soon for a longer stay!

A very beautiful hotel with nice facilities and an excellent variety of food at the buffet. The breakfast was fantastic, and the pools, the sunset views, and the service were all outstanding. A special thanks to the sweet girl at reception, Michaela, who was incredibly kind and helpful!!!

We had a fantastic family stay at Domes of Corfu! The beach and pool were beautiful, our room was lovely with comfortable beds and great views, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The hospitality and entertainment were excellent, especially the evenings with DJ Lekouk, who created such a fun atmosphere and brought an amazing vibe next to the beach at sunset. Overall, we would recommend this hotel to anyone who decided to come visit Corfu!!!
