The common areas were new and really nice while the apts itself were already a little outdated. Especially the doors. You get one key which is tied to the light switch card as well. But you have to lock the door from the inside with the key because if you unlock the door it will stay unlocked. We were able to work with that, just a heads up. The included breakfast was pretty good and had some changing variety every morning, so we were quite satisfied with that. Just skip the juice there as it is basically just water with sugar and aroma but has never seen a fruit. I saw a couple who brought their own carton of orange juice in the morning because of that.
If you dont have a car, they have a shuttle but to the nearby towns/villages. If you plan to stay at the hotel most of the time - not problem, but if you want to explore the island, a car is necessary.
Which threw us off was first the extra charge of 5 EUR/Night as a tourist tax (I didnt have to pay that at the other places on Corfu - or at least it was included) and even more, the extra charge of 6 EUR/Night for the AC. That was really a downer for us and with the blazing head wave we decided to go for it because you cant really cool down rooms down as they dont face the ocean and so the wind wont come in at all. And you dont want the mosquitoes in the room either. Also the cleaning personell always opens the door to the balcony but leaves the balcony door which blocks the sunlight out closed. That one is lockable, so nobody can get into the apt, which is good, but it will still get the hot air in. There is no airflow which will cool down the room by that, so you always have to use the AC for that. So be careful because they dont advertise that and I even havent seen a note that they will charge for it.
