Elea Beach Hotel

Lovely relaxed 7 days half-board stay at the Elea Beach. We were a couple with an 8 year old. Location is excellent, with a choice of the lovely Dassia beach or two hotel pools, we preferred the smaller pool nearer the hotels reception. Sun beds always available, and no need for an early rise to reserve unless you were dead set on a certain spot. Hotel very flexible on half-board stay, encouraged to do as we please, take lunch instead of dinner if we fancied dining out which we did a couple of times. Paid for drinks were very good and reasonable prices, as was the food available from the bar and al a carte restaurant. Also a very good hotel shop which you could buy snacks and drinks from for your room or around the pool, good prices and if you could be bothered or minded to save 30 cents on a packet of crisps or large water you could even nip out to the supermarket almost opposite the hotel. Would recommend to small families that are looking for some entertainment but generally a very laid back and relaxing vibe. Behaviour of guests generally good, no wild or anti social behaviour, and I'm sure that would be tackled if it did happen. People are polite but generally not looking to make friends. Staff work really hard, not always service with a smile, but always did as asked and helped. Entertainment staff also work hard and put on low key non-intrusive stuff that can easily be enjoyed or ignored. Daily water aerobics in the sea is a lovely niche activity they do. Nightly entertainment the same, not overly engrossing or imaginative but also meant you could enjoy a game of UNO and always find a waiter served table. Easy to catch the number 7 bus into Corfu Town, every 20 minutes from the main road a few minutes walk outside. Late check-out facilities also good, and again hotel discouraged us from paying to keep room on, to take a shower in their courtesy rooms using towels they provide or you can keep from your room. All worked well. Only real negatives were currently no 'wet' toilets to use by the pool as allegedly being refurbished. And that to make card payments you had to go to the bar, even for waiter service, somewhat defeating the object. But neither would put us off and we would consider a return as a family.

Good complex people lovely Simo the entertainment was absolutely brilliant with children and adults The food was good for all nationalities

A very relaxing stay at the Elea Beach, our thanks go to Simo and his family who made us feel welcome from the very first day and even came to say goodbye to my family at unsociable hours, he is a credit to the hotel and a special character to have around, full of energy and a great sense of humour, Thank you Simo

Had a lovely stay at the Elea beach hotel, a massive Thankyou to Simo for making our stay extra special. Hope to see you again.

We have just returned from a lovely holiday at the hotel. Rooms were lovely, clean and modern. We had interconnecting rooms which as great as a family of 5 as the teens could have their own space. Fresh towels everyday. The staff on reception are extremely welcoming and friendly and go out of their way to help you. Pools are great, and plenty of sun beds, we always found free beds whatever time of the day we used the pool. The food was great, particularly the breakfasts. Evening meals were good with lots of variety. Its position is beautiful, right on the beach. The hotel shop is well stocked.

Very clean hotel and grounds, friendly staff. Food excellent quality and choice. Beach just a few metres away. In main lobby there’s a small shop which seems to stock such wide range of items. Entertainment is held together by a fantastic entertainment manager who’s energy is endless.
