Sentido Apollo Palace

Wonderful experience, The staff are very helpful. The place is perfect for families, a lot facilities for children.

Beautiful grounds with many old olive trees that give shade and privacy. It's about 300 meters from the beach with easy access and a section for Sentido hotel (£3 pp). The atmosphere is v. relaxing throughout the site. Greek night on Saturday evening was great and got people dancing the rest of the evening entertainment was mainly bingo/movie quizz/karaoke which we decided not to go to. Lots of delicious food in the restaurant, with different themes. Plenty of choice for all palates! Great fast service by kind and attentive staff. A special mention for Dimitris who just brings a smile to everyone's face. I give it a 4 because the rooms are really basic and in need of a refresh. The air-conditioning and ceiling fan didn't work which being October is not truly a problem and I opened doors. There are mosquitos so bring your product / cream! The best part is the aegeo spas. We had 4 different treatments and received excellent service and attention from the staff. Joanna and Paulina paid attention to our needs and we're such professionals in their care. Highly recommended and they are 5 stars! There are 3 pools and the adult one was perfect with jacuzzis and its own bar (staff could be a little more smiley maybe ;-) ) In terms of transport, it's just so convenient as the Green buses have a stop in front of the hotel that take you to Corfu town - it's £2.40 each way. Drops you in town and then you have to walk 10 mins to the bus station for the way back but really easy to find. Overall we had an excellent stay and enjoyed our holiday very much! Thank you to the Apollo Palace team!

This is a fairly big hotel, spread out across a large campus. Housing three swimming pools, one with small kids slides, and three larger slides for older children and adults (great fun), an adults only pool (fantastic idea) and a games pool for water polo or pool ball. The dining room is huge spread around the eating area with an over 16 area, another great idea. There was a fantastic selection of food, fresh vegetables, fruit, breads, meat, salads and deserts. Unfortunately you couldn't order tea or self service was not available in the evening time as us Irish love our tea with our desert! If you are half board which we were you also have the option to eat at two A la carte restaurants, one is Greek, called Elia. This one wasn't great lacked atmosphere, food was pretty bland and the service was slow. The other one, La Cantina, a lovely open air Italian restaurant was a bit more upmarket but we were eaten alive by mosquitos which were literally flying in your face. The hotel has a fantastic Spa facility, which they actively push to get people in. Pool towels are available there and there is no deposit system, no limit and no monitoring of how gets towels. Rooms are ample in size, our bathroom wasn't a great design because if the person opened the door to clean your room and you were in the shower then it could be embarrassing. Beds and pillows are very comfortable and the balcony door has a mosquito screen to stop the little critters feasting on you! A bottle of local Greek wine is waiting for you in your room on arrival and if you arrive late they provide a welcome pack with a sandwich, wrap and fruit. The hotel has a Guest Relations Manager, Rafailia. She was absolutely amazing. Nothing was a problem to her. We were a party of 4 people with two rooms close together. An issue with ants was solved very quickly when reported. One of our party had difficulties walking around the complex and when I enquired about the possibility of hiring a wheelchair, Rafailia sent a wheelchair down within 10 minutes of my enquiry. Similarly when I asked if we could hold onto one of our rooms beyond the noon check out time because one of our family members is elderly, this was not an issue at all. A farewell pack was delivered to our rooms the evening before our departure comprising a 200ml bottle of limoncello, a small jar of kumquat (local specialty) and compressed fig together with a place of small cakes. A nice touch. The hotel is located in Messongi which is a beautiful picturesque, rustic and charming small village. The sea is amazing and the hotel has beach beds at a cost of €6 for two which includes an umbrella. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. The area is surrounded by mountains and rolling hills if you are sporty and fancy a run along the coast or you're on a cycling holiday, some nice climbs and views. A fabulous place to stay, just don't forget the mosquito spray!
