Paradise Hotel Corfu

This is a small & friendly hotel, typically Greek with local staff who are very helpful & work extremely hard. We chose an upgraded room which was very comfortable. Rooms were cleaned to a very high standard every day & facilities were very good. Breakfast choice very extensive & can sit outside. Very comfortable sunbeds with good sized pool. Gardens well maintained with olive & palm trees. Some negatives: No option for an evening meal. Lunch finishes at 4:30 Locals frequent at weekends & kids use the pool while adults have lunch, can get busy! To walk into Gouvia takes 10 minutes & there is a hill to climb on the way back ( ok for us but others found it to be a struggle ) You have to cross a dual carriageway to access Gouvia, quite daunting!

The hotel owner was extremely rude (their wifi is very unreliable and we asked about it, he said we could move to another hotel), the outlets near the bed didn’t work, and it took 10 minutes to get hot water in the shower. The rooms are large but the area isn’t amazing.

This hotel is amazing. We stayed in a superior room which, judging by other reviews, was a good shout. The room was not at all dated and the bed was amazing. It was an actual king-size bed, rather than two pushed together as I have found with many other hotels. The mattress quality was excellent and we had great sleep while we were there. The clothes storage was a bit limited, as mentioned in other reviews, however that was a small price to pay for the wonderful experience we had overall, and we made use of the suitcase stand so we were able to easily access our case. We used the open wardrobe for things we wanted to hang, such as shirts and dresses, and the drawers for other frequently used clothing items. The breakfast was nice, with a great selection so something for everyone. The view from the room was lovely and the balcony was peaceful. All of the staff were wonderful and helpful. A special thanks to Myra at reception, as she recommended us some great places to visit and was always lovely to speak to. Also the barman, Vasillas, was wonderful! He made us the loveliest drinks (shout-out to his mojito) and he was so lovely to talk to. We are missing the hotel and the staff and would go back tomorrow if we could! Thanks so much again x

The Hotel has very friendly staff but a few faults. No Tea facility in rooms, No water at Breakfast unless you payed. No Hotel bar opened we were told it was off season so only had small pool bar. A lot of Ants in my Bathroom, Bath Towels to small, Bathroom hadn't a shelf for Toletries. Not enough area for clothes only 1 drawer. Garden was lovely but area before you come onto hotel grounds needs maintaining.

If we could give this hotel 10 stars, we would. From our late night arrival and greeting by Miltos we felt welcome. The room, 202, was lovely, clean, spacious with a balcony overlooking the side garden and hills. Plenty of storage space in a double built in wardrobe. Fair size fridge for keeping the Retsina cold. The bathroom was small but immaculate, with a bath and shower. Breakfast is incredible, the choices are amazing, hot and cold food and variations daily to keep you interested and checking for something different. The 2 chefs we met were lovely and always spoke and smiled when greeted by us. They offered help and information on the different items we didn't recognise and were able to keep everything topped up so no one missed out on anything. The breakfast team, Katerina, Thomas, Thespina and Kristina were the most fabulous people and nothing was too much trouble and their kindness and help was much appreciated and we cannot thank them enough. Team you are amazing, keep doing your thing, you are the best. To Myra and Angie on day Reception, a massive thank you for all your help, and advice on places to visit which helped us have a wonderful time. To our lovely housekeeper, whose name I have missed, thank you for your hard work and not missing a single thing. We have not had service as good as this for a long time. The dining room is large and nicely set out and there is a covered area to have your breakfast on the way to the outside area if you don't want to sit outside on the gorgeous terrace under the Olive trees. Breakfast is served from 07.30 to 10.30 and the bar, on the terrace, opens at 10.00. There is a large lounge area to sit and relax and has books for guests to read. The decoration throughout is lovely and there is a relaxed feel about the place which is nice to experience. Without doubt from customer experience this is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. The only thing we would advise is it is quite a walk down a steep, curved hill and across a busy main road to get into the village but there are safe crossing areas. The walk back up will be a challenge to some but we had our mobility scooters so it was fun for us, both directions 😀. This hotel is perfect so if you are looking for a base to explore from, we cannot recommend the Paradise highly enough. Corfu Town around 20 minutes drive, Ipsos around 15 minutes, the beautiful Paloekastritsa about 30 minutes. Public transport is from the main road at the bottom of the hill but we had to use Taxis due to having the mobility scooters and had factored in the additional cost of this before we travelled. Thank you Paradise Hotel for the happy memories you have helped us make.

What a relaxing holiday we had! The hotel is very clean and the staff is kind and are always willing to help you. Especially Vasilas who made us a few cocktails, we had so much fun at the bar! He even made me an Espresso Martini which he never did before, but it was so good and his Mojito's were delicious! There are busstops close to the hotel, but we also reccomend to rent a car if you want to see more of Corfu. The view from the pool is also stunning!
