Lido Corfu Sun

Was not impressed by this hotel at all. Full of trip hazards and stairs. The hotel was on a very busy road with no pavements. Had to walk along it to even get to the bus stop and beach. The hotel was out on a limb, so if you like a supermarket or shops, restaurants near you, forget this place. The nearest village is Benitses which is a 10 minute bus ride away. The hotel runs a 7 seater shuttle bus there at 13.00 and comes back at 20.00!! Corfu Town is 35 minutes on the bus. The hotel beach is about 150 yards, along the busy road and down a stoney path. We only went there the once as it was just pebbles, rocks and wooden planking. The room is mainly taken up by the bed which has sharp right angled corners on it. We had many a bruise from it. The TV has one English channel on it. BBC World news. To watch the TV you have to lie on the bed straining your neck, as you cant lean back against the headboard due to it having a ledge on it. Bathroom was very compact. Food was at most tepid but generally cold. We had to microwave it to try and warm up things like egg and bacon. Only 2 types of cake every evening. Pool was reasonable, but sun loungers mainly were in the shade. Loads of mosquitos about. Reception staff were friendly. Had to pay for bottled water and even ice cream and we went all inclusive. Will not be going back.

Very concerned by the 5* ratings people have left. We would rate this hotel as 2.5* hotel. Good points - The staff at the hotel were very helpful - the pillows on the bed were nice and soft, the beach once reached down a steep slope was pleasant enough on a nice day. Bad points - Entertainment only twice a week which consisted of two men and one lady singing. Local traditional dancers Two men and one lady. The location of the hotel was off a very busy main road without paths this made it difficult to walk anywhere without putting your life at risk. All-inclusive drinks were limited to local beer, red and white wine, Ouzo, Gin, Vodka and a Brandy, you had to pay extra for mixers unless you had sweet powdery lemon, lime type mixers provided. All-inclusive snacks were provided at 17:00 each day these consisted of sweet filled greasy puff pastry or very occasionally sausage meat and that's all. They all disappeared within half an hour so if like us by the time we had checked in to the hotel there was nothing left to eat. Our Bathroom had a nasty smell coming from it resulting in having to keep the window open for the whole stay, after talking to other people this seems to be a common fault. Finally, you cannot get bottled water unless you pay extra. If you have already booked Good Luck

The hotel was lovely with old world charm, we had a gorgeous balcony with views over the sea and mountains to watch the sunrise every day. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Special shout out to beautiful soul Maria who looked after the rooms, made special folded towel artworks every day and was so kind and friendly to us; sunny Spiros who made us so many delicious cocktails; Artan for the easy lifts into Benitses; and Calli & Tori at reception for making us feel so welcome and being helpful with every question and request we had. Bus stop outside the door made it easy to ride straight into Corfu Old Town on the number 6 bus all day and evening (about 25 minutes away). The hotel provides a free shuttle bus into sweet nearby village Benitses (5 minutes away) 2x/day also. So much home cooked yummy food buffets 3x/day, I ate so much I think I might have turned into an olive! The icing on the cake was the sunny pool for relaxing with a beer or cocktail all day long reading a good book, which was all I really wanted on my holiday... but I got so much more than that. We took a trip to nearby Sissi's Palace which was so romantic, wandered around the Old Town, and went on a spin around the bay on the pirate ship, would recommend all this. Thank you Lido Sun Hotel, we left our hearts in Corfu!

The hotel overall was good. Very clean and Maria the housekeeper was so lovely. But. The hotel was set back from a busy road. Chilling out by the pool was not good. The road was the main route and was very busy and noisy throughout the day and evening. Felt I was living by the M25. The food was definitely not 4 stars. And the drinks was so bad, plus you had to buy tonic for your gin. Furthermore water. Definitely not all inclusive. When it came to snacks, it was the left overs from the food and was disgusting. Something that concern me, there was a major accident while I was there. And had to use all my experience to save a person life from a head injury. I asked the the owner to get the first aid bag. He told me we don't have one wow. Lucky the ambulance crew eventually arrived. And I was told he's safe and healthy. There are many concerns about this hotel. And I have personally sent a e email to tui and the Greek government to audit the hotel. Be very careful.

The location was beautiful, hotel site clean and well maintained. The beach decked areas was beautiful.The staff were friendly and helpful. However it was astonishing that the All inclusive did not include tonic water. I do not know anyone who drinks straight gin. We could get a gin on the All inclusive but not tonic. This is ridiculous. I have stayed all inclusive on Greek Islands over 20 years and have never been anywhere where a tonic water was not in the All inclusive. They were making guests pay 3 Euros for a small bottle of tonic. People were going to the local mini market to buy big bottles of tonic water, only to be told by bar staff,the bottles must not be visible. This is absolutely ridiculous.
