Please read as we decided, after reading the very mixed reviews, that we would give the hotel a chance as the pictures didn’t seem to do the reviews justice at all. We are very open minded and realise some people can be extremely harsh when reviewing……. However, we have just returned from 5 nights in The Royal Grand Hotel, Kanoni Corfu. We upgraded our stay to all inclusive as was only a short stay thinking it would be just what we needed. There is no way an all inclusive option should ever be sold. At best this hotel serves no other purpose than at minimum bed & breakfast. The same food was brought out every night, sometimes heated up from night before or lunchtime. You could actually predict the menu every night, with 2 meat options, slushy mash potatoes (every night and clearly reheated), spaghetti & sauce and warmed up, nasty boiled brussels. The only thing that looked half decent was the salad. The breakfast wasn’t too bad but that’s about it. However the massive bowls of choc spread & Greek style yoghurt seemed to just be brought out of the fridge in the same bowls every morning. As for drinks you could have a cloudy beer, some nasty cheap wine or apple/orange concentrate drink (not fruit juice). You could also have a tea or coffee but once the restaurant was shut there was no other opportunity to get a drink in the main hotel - whether non or alcoholic. Not even a facility to buy water even tho there was a bar and beautiful bar room area that was just never used. As well as this the pool area, which was across the road, was in a severe state of despair. Over grown with weeds, decking buckled and the pool area stained. The ‘pool bar’ that was open was run down, had a hand made shelf with a few bottles on, the ceiling was falling down and looked like a garden shed. You could have a beer or soft drink but that was it. The pool bar did serve ‘snacks’ but were the left overs from the night before, breakfast & lunch. The hotel staff I cannot fault, the housekeepers were lovely, rooms were clean and we had clean towels every day. However, the restaurant manager was rude and very ignorant. The hotel has the potential to be amazing but is truly lacking the TLC it deserves.
